After watching the industry destroy itself with a focus on DEI, hamfisted commie propaganda, and predatory systems designed to squeeze every penny they can from their customers, I have become pretty cynical about every new game coming out. I was definitely worried that Silksong would become a victim to this same cancer, but am happy to say that it is amazing.

I'm not that far into it, and I am in no hurry to get to the end, but I can already tell that I am going to love every minute of it. I am relieved that Team Cherry can be counted among Fromsoft and very few others who still understand what matters in a good game, and give us something that is worth every penny. Other developers are losing their minds over a game this good being only $20, and they probably have a point. Just like with Hollow Knight, they could have charged $40 or more and nobody would have felt ripped off.

I am thrilled to see them doing so well that it crashed the servers for the stores on every console and on Steam. I hope they make absolute bank and keep on killing it. I just hope their next game doesn't take quite so long to come out.

Anyway, it's nice to have some good news for a change. If you haven't played Silksong (or Hollow Knight), you should definitely pick them both up. They are as close to perfect as games can get.

Once again, our completely useless mod has had his fill of banning the good faith regulars before fucking off for a week so that pedo pajeets can shit all over our threads like a public street.

Dom, you obviously don't want to be here any more than we want you here, so let's just finally get someone who actually cares put in charge. Pin a thread where the users can vote for your replacement, and hand over to the winner when you do your next weekly check-in. This is getting ridiculous.

And as always, go fuck yourself.
