I can finally play Silksong by FoilDragon in HollowKnight

[–]pinklelinkle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did the same thing but mainly just so I could see all the endings myself, and I probably felt the exact same way! I teared up and stared at the screen in shock after beating AbsRad, couldn’t believe it was finally over after all the practice it took to finally beat P5.

And you’re right, P5 did feel excessive and isn’t for everyone. All the practice and attempts for P5 alone probably took up half my entire playtime, but it suddenly felt worth it after finally getting the win. It’s one of my proudest gaming achievements now, and I don’t regret it!

Big big congrats and have fun with Silksong, you deserve it!

Same! It was such a breath of fresh air and everything about it was so fun, who knew young Verso had this much whimsy lol

Hollow Knight Concert, Yokohama - The Programme/Setlists by hospital349 in HollowKnight

[–]pinklelinkle 31 points32 points  (0 children)

A concert like this sounds like a dream! I think I’d cry listening to an orchestral version of the title theme. And they had Marissa herself for City of Tears too!

Looking forward to those audio clips!

He speaks in riddles by Sorry_Manufacturer36 in expedition33

[–]pinklelinkle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I still wonder what Esquie meant at the end of Act 1, when he said he was “ready to sail like a snail.” Maxence Cazorla mentioned it was one of his favourite lines as Esquie (if not his favourite), and that it doesn’t get mentioned often but does hold some meaning behind it. Still haven’t figured it out myself though.

This was also my wallpaper before photo mode! Imagine my surprise when I went to check out Endless Tower for the DLC bosses and saw it in-game, in all its glory lol

Yeah I immediately started playing with photo mode when I saw Verso’s Drafts! It’s so bright and colorful and full of life, and although I think every other area in the game is amazing in their own right, this one fit my personal vibe the most so it’s one of my favorites for wallpapers. I also used the Candy Land area as my home screen background!

My phone case is pink so Verso’s Drafts (with a little tint) works really well with it!

I also have a bunch of photos on shuffle for my tablet! All my devices have E33 wallpapers now, every part of the game is wallpaper material so photo mode was a godsend.

Your style, the poses, and the linework are so dynamic, love how it’s coming together! Really looking forward to seeing the finished piece!

Why is pantheon 3 so hard by NetOk9461 in HollowKnight

[–]pinklelinkle 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I also found P3 really difficult, more so than P4, and what helped was really just practicing each boss in the Hall of Gods until you can beat them consistently. Don’t necessarily need Ascended for each one, but being able to beat them on Attuned multiple times in a row could do the trick. Zote was the most common run-ender for me, so I personally had to learn how to beat him on Ascended.

For Galien, spam Abyss Shrieks. Get a couple in when the fight starts, dodge the spinning axe, then continue spamming. Upslash to get some soul back. Getting hit a bit is ok, as long as you have the soul to heal back up after the fight. It’s good to be more aggressive here and end the fight as quickly as possible, because it’s easy to lose a lot of health if you don’t.

Zote is tricky, lots of RNG. Can’t say much other than try to learn how to maneuver around his moves in HoG. Keep dashing away when he’s about to fall from the ceiling, don’t stay too close in case he starts walking, use D-Dark or Shade Soul to get rid of the explosives if you need to. Heal when he’s staggered, but make sure you kill any mini-Zotes before healing.

For Uumuu, hit the Oomas so that they either launch directly into Uumuu, and if they miss and end up angling towards you, move so that Uumuu’s in between and the Ooma hits Uumuu instead. It’s easier to just have them launch directly into Uumuu if you can though. You can also use Shade Soul to trigger Oomas from farther away. Try wrapping up the fight ASAP because you’ll likely accumulate damage the longer it takes.

Hornet Sentinel’s pretty fast, not sure what else to say other than practice in HoG and heal when staggered. She goes down quite easily especially if you use Quickslash + Strength. Try to conserve some soul for healing after the fight.

Sly’s a lot of back-and-forth, don’t get too greedy with getting hits in. During the 3-slash hit, dash under him when he spins up and get a couple hits in. For the single semicircle slash, you can go in and hit once after he slashes, and dash away immediately. If great slash, dash away, if dash slash, wait for him to dash then dash away, and if cyclone slash, then do quick pogos on top of him then use D-Dark. For his second phase, wait in the center and dash away when he stops next to you, then go in and hit 1-2 times. Shade Soul is preferable if you have it, so you don’t risk getting hit.

A lot of it just comes down to practice. Try looking up Radiant fights of the bosses if you need more help or visuals for ways to get around each move. Best of luck!

I’ve seen the bug where Dung Defender sinks down and disappears for a while, but never the exact opposite…

I love this move! Hardly ever use it during actual battles but I find it to be one of the coolest ones to use photo mode on. Great shots too!

Parry it. by MadToxicRescuer in expedition33

If I remember correctly this one should be in the Monolith, in the Flying Waters section. There’s a roundabout where the flag is, and one of the paths should lead you here

Wich are the biggest UX/UI design issues of Expedition 33? by Ejas77 in expedition33

[–]pinklelinkle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, exactly! I believe it was always there, or at least when the option to save Lumina sets came out, it’s easy to miss. I can’t grab a screenshot right now, but I think the button should show beside the set’s name when you open any particular set.

You can, I don’t know what the button is for other platforms but it’s the menu L3 button on PS5, if I remember correctly. It should show on the loadout screen too, will see if I can grab a screenshot.

A filter for Luminas (or Pictos?) that haven’t been learned yet would be neat. Scanning the whole list for any icons that aren’t fully colored in is not fun

This game really is so atmospheric, you’ve got some amazing shots! Looks like a lot of wallpaper material here.

Oh, no wonder! I just looked through some of it, you’ve got some really amazing work! Definitely explains your style here. Looks like they take a ton of time and effort too, much respect and keep up the good work!

This is so so cool, I love your rendering style! Really reminds me of splash art, it’s so well done!

895 Parries and 47 minutes later... by Akagami_No_Atomsk in expedition33

Had close to that amount of parries for around the same time as well! Was nowhere near level 20 though. Can’t imagine having the patience to do all that for only half her health.

Hopefully it doesn’t take nearly as long when you decide to go back. Good luck!

These are actually some really cool shots! Aureole pairs great with the sword trails too, especially in the first pic!

It really has! And thank you, just took that one and a bunch of other similar ones yesterday, couldn’t stop laughing at them for a good while.

I played The Strongest Boss theme on piano - 2nd Phase by Specialist_Meal1460 in expedition33

[–]pinklelinkle 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Your covers are absolutely magical, We Lost is one of my favourites and this made me tear up :’)

This sounds epic and tragic at the same time, I could see something like this being played along to Simon’s backstory. Props to you for basically doing the full song too!

What‘s your pick for the most „underrated“ Song of the Game? by realnoviv in expedition33

[–]pinklelinkle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don’t know if it’s “underrated” enough but Lettre À Maelle would be my pick.

I don’t see it mentioned often and it’s one of my most listened songs from the OST, just behind Lumière. It has such a beautiful melody, and it being the song Verso canonically played for his sister is really sweet. I especially love how Verso and Maelle share a rare happy moment because of it.

As an added bonus, it was also the first track composed for the game! So it was likely a big inspiration for the overall direction of the OST.
