i accepted the quest and the easiest way to past that locked door is through the clockwork fight

there are 2 fights you are locked out of if you start act 3

but they are optional and not needed for completion

if you care about that

wait you're avoiding clockwork dancers?

it has the quest marker on it so I don't want to do it

There's a lot more to act 2 after dancers

ok then i am maximizing completion before doing dancers then

Well, just wanted to make sure you know that that fight doesn't change anything, but obviously play as you like.

the last main quest marker ended the act

I kind of want to see if its possible to entirely skip clockwork dancers

The pinstress is such a shitty fight. She claims to want a duel but then just floats and spams her ranged attack

what a bitch

Yeah she is a clone of those crows in greymoor

i mad that multibinder doesn't clear maggots then heal you

that seemed like an obvious use for it

now I fight a boss that does double contact damage, melees you if you ever approach, spams full screen projectiles with random movement that disable healing

can't do anything fun like grapple spam so this fight is just boring wait halfway across the screen and hope you aren't 1 pixel too close to the projectile arc

which is that?

disgraced chef

ahh right

i should probably go get needle 3 before doing this just because its so slow

which needle are you missing? The one that's sitting in a room, or the quest one?

the quest one is locked hehind this fight

right, it is

I guess by "needle 3" you mean the third form of the needle, whereas I was interpreting it as the third upgrade/pale oil

ok I am stopping for tonight because I need to wake up tomorrow morning

clockwork dancers is next

I have no idea how I am at 61 hours

there must be some issue with the game counting time while in the switch menu

is there data on how much of a damage multiplier the nail upgrades grant?

neat

The flea festival is so annoying

I regret saving all those fleas now

you don't like being forced to do minigames for your upgrades? :)

worst part of zelda, no better here

the only saving grace of this is that I can cheat by getting back on the platform when I fail a dodge

I think that's intended, not cheating

it feels like cheating

fuck the devs

I hate this shitty game

someone should make a "silksong but fun" mod that fixes some of these issues

mostly just remove shard requirements

my stuff has finally arrived so now I can play on a monitor instead of a portable projector

I wonder how much latency the projector had and if I will even notice

projectors are all over the place for latency

I don't think I could get used to the light isolation part of using a projector

even good ones that will look passable and not wached out in high-light rooms

compared to a TV or monitor, it's just really telling

I just turn off most of the lights in my apartment

the biggest thing is the wall is textured so the image is inherently grainy

the game definitely feels different, but that may just be me using good speakers instead of the projector speaker into just my left ear

first tried the courrier quest through sinners road

this is the most "fuck you" press statement I've seen

insteadof just saying +$50

the mask shard here was the most painful unfun thing I had found up to that point trying it without double jump, but with double jump its pretty easy and almost fun

in the room of the savage beastfly refight there are explosive rocks in the ceiling that you can access with very tricky jumps off the fly

they reset if you lose the fight and I could only get one. Does hitting both do anything?

they might still be there in act 3 so you can potentially get them with silk soar

the refight is less bullshit because it doesn't spawn those stupid massive flies

I used them when fighting the fourth chorus and its probably meant for that

killed the diseased chef boss

that fight is very easy once I figured out the patterns

doing 1.5x damage compared to before didn't hurt

so ive noticed that Karmelita has a fun thing where each of her double damage attacks actually count as two hits happening simultanously. Meaning all my protections against instant death like the dice and cracked skull are nullified

fucking awesome

yay a boss with no silk regen at all and hard tracking explosive double damage projectiles

luckily the boss fight is really easy to offset the terrible circumstances of it

i'm doing so much better today than when i was using the projector so I will retroactively be blaming bad screen latency

I finally got to this

the true end game

Juggle was the hardest for me

though they all suck

made me yearn for more of those dumb races or knife throwing

juggle was the only bad one for me

got dodge and bounce within 2-3 tries, but juggle took me so long

I figured out the strat
