You know, what's great about this channel? Nothing ever really changes. Life may be hard and unforgiving but at the end of the day you can always go here and see that at least one thing stays true: There has been no news for Silksong today.

[DeterminedShadow]

Stay determined.

It’s annoying trying to explain to people that I have memory problems. It shouldn’t be a hard thing to grasp, but people never seem to understand that I don’t remember the majority of my life.

Imagine if this was all a test. Imagine if auraura was actually a team cherry agent, hired to test us, subjects, hollow knight enjoyers and silksong awaiters. Test us into seeing how our sanity gets worse and worse as we see less and less green on these thumbnails.

Day 276 of rating every video's description: "more primacon” guest host today, and I really like him. His content is pretty funny watching as he finds ways to talk about silksong. He also changed the video, so I’ll give it a 7.5/10.
Also for the thumbnail enjoyers, it’s day 24 of thumbnails, and I like his icon, so 6.5/10.

Day 555

It was just before dawn one miserable
Morning in black Forty-Four
When the forward commander was told to sit tight
When he asked that his men be withdrawn
And the Generals gave thanks as the other ranks
Held back the enemy tanks for a while
And the Anzio Bridgehead was held for the price
Of a few hundred ordinary lives

So ya thought ya might like to go to the show
To feel the warm thrill of confusion, that space cadet glow
Tell me is something eluding you sunshine?
Is this not what you expected to see?
If you wanna find out what's behind these cold eyes
You'll just have to claw your way through this disguise!

Momma loves her baby
Daddy loves you too
And the sea may look warm to you baby
And the sky may look blue
oh baby blue
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh babe

If you should go skating on the thin ice of modern life
Of a million tear stained eyes
Don't be surprised when a crack in the ice
Appears under your feet
You'll slip out of your depth and out of your mind
With your fear flowing out behind you
As you claw the thin ice

Daddy's flown across the ocean
Leaving just a memory
A snapshot in the family album
Daddy, what else did you leave for me?
Daddy! What'd you leave behind for me?

All in all it was just a brick in the wall
All in all it was all just bricks in the wall

Kind old king George
Sent mother a note
When he heard that father was gone
It was, I recall, in the form of a scroll
Gold leaf adorned
And I found it one day
in a draw of old photographs hidden away
My eyes still grow damp to remember
His majesty signed it with his own rubber stamp
it was dark all around
there was frost in the ground
When the tigers broke free
And no one survived
from the royal fusiliers company z
They were all left to die
Most of them dead the rest of them dying
And that's how the high command took my daddy from me

Ooh-ooh ooh ooh ooh
ooh-ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh-ooh ooh ooh ooh
Did-did-did-did you see the frightened ones?
Did-did-did-did you hear the falling bombs?
Did-did-did-did you ever wonder why we had to run for shelter
When the promise of a brave new world unfurled beneath the clear blue sky?

Ooh-ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh-ooh ooh ooh ooh
Did-did-did-did you see the frightened ones?
Did-did-did-did you hear the falling bombs?
The flames are all long gone but the pain lingers on

Goodbye blue sky
Goodbye blue sky
Goodbye
Goodbye

You! Yes You! Stand still laddie!

When we grew up and went to school
there were certain teachers who
would hurt the children any way they could
by pouring their derision
on everything we did
exposing every weakness however carefully hidden by the kid

But the whole town knew whenever they got home at night
their fat and psychopathic wives would thrash them within
inches of their lives


We don't need no education
we don't need no thought control
No dark sarcasm in the classroom
Teacher leave them kids alone
Hey! Teacher! Leave them kids alone!
All in all its just another brick in the wall
All in all you're just another brick


And then hornet says "Watch out! They're singing the silk song!"

Day 1222 of quoting all of Hollow Knight, one line at a time:

"The chains of fate that bind us all together... do you really want to break them?"

Day 535 of writing out the script of Nick: The Feature Film 10 words at a time.

Act IV, scene II (18 days so far)
Nick: So, what's in a power lunch?
Chris: You will see what's in a power lunch. Outta the way.
Chris: There are a few main things that you want inside of a power lunch, okay. Hot sauce, and then the rest.
Nick: Uh, I don't really have that many things that you can-
Robert: Uh guys!
Chris: Oh no.
Nick: I was- I was saving that garlic.
Chris: Oh this is gonna be perfect. Oh yeah.
Robert: Guys! Guys.
Nick: You gonna put all this stuff in- What are you gonna do?
Chris: You're lookin' at the before product, okay. Why don't you wait until you actually taste it.
Robert: Guys!
Chris: Where are your knives at?
Chris: Oh yes.
Robert: Wait for me!
Chris: Alright. The essentials of a power lunch have to do with what's created inside and how it's created.
Robert: Oh my god!
Nick: Um... How- How is this gonna come out? Like-
Chris: Corn. The best thing you can have inside of a power lunch.
Chris: Alright.
Nick: Are you sure you know what you're doing?
Chris: Yeah. I've done this before. Huge fan of garlic.
Nick: Y-- You g--
Chris: Watch out. Watch out. It's gonna get hot, you don't

Day 598 of writing the script for Mossbag’s lore video one word at a time:
If you were to ask me, “What is your favorite video game ever made?” I would have to say Cory in the House for the Nintendo DS. But Hollow Knight would be a close second. Hollow Knight was released on February 24th, 2017 by Team Cherry, an indie game studio based in the mythical land of Adelaide, South Australia. Over the past three years, Hollow Knight has become an indie darling. The game has sold over three and a half million copies, it was the opening game at AGDQ 2019. There’s a Hollow Knight book, a line of plushies, T-shirts, nicotine patches, nuclear warheads, and even vinyl records for all you goddamn hipsters.

Team Cherry had one goal when making Hollow Knight. They wanted to create a world that allowed players to get completely lost in exploration. We can see this desire in Hollow Knight’s design. The levels in Hollow Knight are massive, with secrets and rewards hidden in every nook and cranny, be that powerful charms, special abilities or uhh… The game’s navigation system requires the player to work for their map, forcing them to make a stronger mental image of the world in their head. Christopher Larkin’s score and Ari Gibson’s artwork lend to this as well, creating an atmosphere that the player won’t want to leave. But there's one aspect of Hollow Knight that keeps people like me coming back: the world building.

When Super Metroid launched in 1994, it stood out for its amazing sense of immersion. Now in 1994, I was busy not being alive, but I’ve watched enough YouTube video essays to know that this game was a big deal. In case you didn't know, Super Metroid is basically the granddaddy of all Metroidvanias. That's why they’re called "MetroidVANIAs". Now in Super Metroid, there are moments that give the player a sense of depth. Basically the feeling that this world exists outside of Samus’ interactions with it. In the room right before that diabetic crocodile thing, Samus can find the corpse of a random soldier. His inclusion here doesn't change the gameplay at all, but instead gives the player a sense of wonder about the world they are exploring. Who was this guy? Why was he here in the first place? Did he like jazz?

Now finding dead bodies and other random garbage is pretty cool, right? Well, Hollow Knight basically does the same thing. About a dozen times. Through its world building, Hollow Knight turns Hallownest into a living kingdom. You can sense the ancient history of the land when you look at dilapidated structures or giant barred doors. Nothing feels like it was put into the game randomly; there's a reason for it all.

Except those reasons aren't the easiest to uncover. Hollow Knight's narrative is buried under layers of NPC dialogue, item descriptions, lore tablets, and even additional content like the Quirrel comic and Fangamer’s Wanderer's Journal. These past three years have an insane amount of research by the Hollow Knight community to make sense of Team Cherry’s sprawling world. We've even made it to the point where people are looking at the in-game signs to try and decipher Hallownest's logographic language.

In this video, I hope to give you a long and detailed look into the world of Hollow Knight, exploring Hallownest’s history and uncertain future. When I'm not busy making surprisingly accurate Super Smash Brothers roster speculation videos, or insightful podcasts about beloved subjects like the Donkey Kong Country television series, or whatever this was supposed to be, I'm usually
