Comment on Hollow Knight: Silksong Dev Fuels Nintendo Switch 2 Direct Fever With a Picture of a Chocolate Cake
Gradually_Adjusting@lemmy.world 5 weeks agoThe context only increases the granularity of my distaste. We live in a society of conspiracism and forgetful unthinking chaos. I don’t want to read entrails for clues about the future, I want to wait patiently for a good game and not become schizophrenic trying to connect meaningless dots.
Tbf there are a lot of people who love solving cryptic puzzles and getting info out of very little, thats why ARGs are a thing. The good thing is, you don’t have to engage, you can just wait for proper announcements but for the people who love this shit they get to have fun, and presumably the devs too for making it.
And imo it shows that team cherry is interacting with the community in a positive way and might actually be finishing the game

But, you don’t have to. This is them hinting about a upcoming announcement of a release date. For the average player like you and me, it’s just the announcement itself that we need, and we’ll get that.

It just seems like unnecessary noise in an already noisy world.

Just… don’t pay attention to it? It’s something that interests other people. Imagine if somebody said that about something you liked that they had no interest in.

The silksong community is one of my favorite of all time for years now. Every couple of weeks a new “theme” of insane shitposting evolves. Most fun and creative silly posting I’ve ever seen.
One common post is “_____ every day until silksong comes out”. People are doing fanart challenges, one guy posts a video of himself petting a cat every day which is very popular. The cat had to get a surgery at one point and needed a cone but was fine.
It’s not just noise. It brings people a lot of joy. There’s been several posts over the years from people basically grieving the potential loss/change of the community once the game actually drops. I’ll miss it, too
