You’re talking about two different things though: game subscription and cloud gaming. Game subscription is what allows you to access tons of games by paying fees monthly/yearly. Cloud gaming on the other hand, is playing games without them installed so you don’t need to download them. Xbox Game Pass just happened to include both of these in their plans.

Theoretically, you could find a subscription plan that does not include cloud gaming, so you would have access to the library, but you need to download the games to play.

I’m writing this because while you obviously need to pay for a subscription, you could actually set up your own cloud for free (check out Moonlight and Steam Link). You download the game on the PC, start the streaming software and you can play those games on your other devices, like a laptop or even a phone!

I feel bad for you man. It’s already in the beta though so you can try the German translation.

Silk Soar after update:

Same. My printer probably doesn’t have internet capability. It has a USB A cable that I can just plug into. Simple, and it does its job well.

Could you elaborate more? My printer doesn’t use internet at all and I would just plugg that into my laptop whenever I want to print.

Joke asides, why would you open ports on your printer?

The only reason you should ever cloud gaming is building your own cloud, e.g., with Moonlight, Steam Link.

Team Cherry probably just forget about these keys’ existence. It’s still better than nothing.

Yes, I extensively used this but there was no button mapping to crest and I would still furiously mashing left key.

We do in Silksong! Hornet explicitly calls GMS a Pale being, e.g. in the dialogue with the Green Prince.

Guess I gotta do a refresh go of Silksong again 🫠

I looked at the dialogs again. And yeah our family probably just means pale being. Since Snail Shamans refer GMS as pale kin. The bugs of Hollow Knight probably view family differently than us.

On a side note, before your comment, I always thought the thing that is ‘forever linked’ is the Everbloom. That’s what happened when you’re not good at English haha.

Not a theorist, but on the fifth question. I think ‘my family’ here just means White lady, Pale king, and Hornet. It would make sense if they were Godseekers or the shrooms (in fungal wastes), since it’s explicitly told they shared a mind. We don’t see anything like that in either game. Team Cherry is also very considerate with their choice of word. It would make more sense for White Lady to say ‘my kind’ instead if that were the case.

But either way. It’s impossible to tell until we see another pale being that has no connection to the pale being we already know.

Not sure about divergence, but there are definitely a lot more interesting posts now. I’ve tried fediverse (kbin) when the reddit API shit happened. I’m a gamer and there weren’t many interesting gaming posts at the time so I returned back to Reddit like a week later. This time with the Discord bullshit I gave fediverse another try and it’s so much better now. It’s still not as many compared to Reddit but at least there are actual content I enjoy scrolling.

Hornet being able to talk definitely gave us a lot more insight to the story and the world of Pharloom than HK for Hallownest.

On one hand it’s fitting as Pharloom is supposed to be a living kingdom. But the biggest plus is I don’t need mossbag to tell me the entire story to know what is going on. Hornet and other character will just tell us whilist leaving enough room for speculation and theory crafting.

It’s easier to use. Besides Matrix e2ee is opt-out, and lots of public room disabled that.

Created an account on Stoat and Matrix. So far I prefer Stoat as it’s easier and more intuitive to use.

If you have a 100% save file. You can try Pantheon of Pharloom. It allows you to refight all the bosses and bindings like in HK. Right now this mod is the sole reason I keep replay Silksong.

You can also use skins by installing Customizer and CustomizerT2D. Unfortunately most skins are on Nexus so the you need to manually import them (btw I use Christmas Hornet and Second Sentinel Cogfly).

Some QoLs I use:

• More Saves
• Debug Mod: Cheat and savestates, like Debug Mod in HK.
• Background Blur Improved

Here’s how to migrate your mods from r2modman to Cogfly:

1. Open r2modman. Select your profile > Settings > Export profile as a file. This will export a .r2z file.
2. Open Cogfly. Click Profiles > Import from file. Choose that .r2z file.
3. Wait a few seconds for the profile to be imported. Then click on that profile.
4. Enable all the mods (mods were off by default)
5. Profit.

Note:

• I did receive an error in step 2. I just deleted the profile and re-imported again. No error in the second time.
• Locally installed mods (e.g., from Nexus) is not imported. You need to copy those mods into the location of Cogfly profile.

Does anyone actually use downdash though? I accidentally discovered it in my first playthrough but I never used it.
