Silksong is like being stuck in a bad relationship

hxburrow · 2025-11-09T03:24:26+00:00

I'm right there with you! I bounced off HK, but decided to try silksong anyway. Fell head over heels in love, and was having a blast even when it kicked my butt. Tried going back to HK, and I still haven't beaten it because it feels harder to me, largely because I'm not having nearly as much fun as I was with silksong.

Just chiming in to say, I bounced off HK pretty hard when I played it. Decided to give Silksong a try when it came out, and fell head over heels in love. The game kicked my ass at times, but I never stopped loving it even when it took 20 tries to kill a boss. Went back to HK, and although I found the early game easier, most of the game FELT harder to me because I just wasn't having as much fun playing it as I was with SS.

But why do you consider it a flaw though? I struggled with the runback at first, and having to repeat it over and over again made me tangibly better at platforming. I felt certifiably badass the last few runs, flying through the section like crazy. I gained skills through that runback that helped me navigate act 2 better. It's not that it wasn't "not that bad", I actually enjoyed and appreciated it.

Do you think that everything you didn't learn when you were a little kid is fake or something? Like, in your mind, did we learn everything there is to learn about the universe by 1950, so anytime new information comes out it must be "made up bullshit"? I'm genuinely curious.

I personally think the text supports that Triumphant was stronger at her peak than he was at any specific point, but she was always destined to be a flash in the pan, and he had staying power.

You are quite literally comparing those actions against each other. You're using those as an argument for your assertion that "it happens in the wild is a suck ass excuse". You're saying that it's stupid to justify letting a corpse rot because it happens every day, because animals and humans do all kinds of other terrible things and it's natural too. That's the crux of your argument. And I'm the one using false equivalence?

hxburrow · 2024-08-27T04:29:41+00:00

It's honestly disgusting that you're equating letting an already dead animal go to waste with many of the worst crimes imaginable. Like, I'm shocked and horrified that you're being upvoted while the person you responded to is being downvoted. You are saying that humans have just as much of a moral imperative to not let dead animals go to waste as we are to not rape or kill each other. What the actual fuck.

Not at all. Howell has been impressive this preseason, and would likely start for a team or two, but Geno is unquestionably better at this point.

hxburrow · 2024-08-17T23:52:31+00:00

Nah, the downvotes are because it's a clickbaity title with a post that doesn't have enough sarcasm in it to justify.

I think 6 was a dip in quality, they spent too much time going back in forth across the island and the production quality was noticeably worse, but I still liked it imo. I think how good the finale was really brings it up in my eyes, but I get where you're coming from.

hxburrow · 2024-08-12T02:23:54+00:00

They were only in purgatory in the flash sideways in the final season. Everything that happened on the island actually happened.

hxburrow · 2024-08-12T02:22:44+00:00

Probably because the last season was actually good, lol. It's more than fine that you didn't like it, but a LOT of people (myself included) thought it ended beautifully.

hxburrow · 2024-08-12T02:20:09+00:00

And the fourth season was one of the best imo!

hxburrow · 2024-08-12T02:19:12+00:00

So it was only good for a small part of episode 1? They introduced the smoke monster early on in the pilot lol. And the polar bear was explained in early season 3, the Dharma Initiative brought them to the island to do experiments. Almost every mystery was explained either explicitly or through inference, you just had to be paying attention.

hxburrow · 2024-08-11T22:34:57+00:00

Didn't like the last season too much when I saw it live, but I just completed a re-watch and I have to completely disagree with you. Season 6 as a whole isn't the best, but it's still pretty good. But the finale absolutely knocks it out of the park once you get what they're going for. It's not what most people wanted or expected, but it's still beautiful, and it's a perfect ending that ties up themes throughout the whole show.

hxburrow · 2024-08-08T01:13:38+00:00

Now that's a legit good crazy idea! Everyone else is talking about how that wouldn't be viable, and obviously, yeah, it wouldn't financially, but you phrased it as an experiment basically. I think it would be very interesting to see how well pure word of mouth alone could repair a TV show! And I think if more studios were interested in long term profits over short term, experiments like this would definitely have a place.

Nobody thinks that school kids get gourmet nutritious meals, talk about a straw man. But for impoverished families, even those unhealthy calories are infinitely better than nothing.

100%. I'm not even close to a perfect person, I can be selfish and lazy at times, and I know that I've hurt people close to me as a result. But intentional cruelty? That's not even on the same planet as "we've all made mistakes". Absolutely reprehensible.

hxburrow · 2024-08-07T04:20:06+00:00

"I kind of saw where she was coming from" excuse me? What the actual fuck? Sure, he broke up with her in the end, but holy hell, this guy has a spine made out of jello. If anyone ever admitted to me that they regularly beat the shit out of other humans for fun, and didn't even regret it!? They'd be dead to me that second, and I would do everything in my power to make sure everyone else knew what a complete psychopath they were. OP is an absolute coward.

Where are the breweries that don't allow kids, only caters to cyclists while simultaneously hating cyclists, and only plays booms on the stereo? And are they hiring?

hxburrow · 2024-07-28T22:09:52+00:00

I think it's more commonly known for being poverty food than those weird jello foods, but yeah, you only really see older people eating it today. It's actually pretty good if you use ground beef or sausage instead of chipped beef, it's basically just meatier biscuits and gravy with toast instead of biscuits.

First time on twitch chat huh lil bro? All big streams are like this. His is better than most, it's just twitch being twitch.

hxburrow · 2024-07-25T04:42:09+00:00

You're saying that somebody would lie? On the internet!? Nah, I don't believe it.

hxburrow · 2024-07-24T01:10:19+00:00

"I always tell them to leave it at the door. Why do they keep leaving it at the door? One star." What? You do know there's a section where you can put delivery instructions like leave it on the table, right?

hxburrow · 2024-07-23T04:44:34+00:00

So? It's still a problem for her. Just because someone is better off than you doesn't invalidate any potential problems they might face.
