hollow knight unironically became a lot easier to control once I started thinking of it as a super smash instead of a dark souls

even just the fact that they can bounce you sideways, frequently tossed me directly into acid/enemies
I frequently get really annoyed with contact damage and the included knockback from said contact damage, as well as the directional attacks always getting me annoyed bc I was slightly off
06.10.2025 17:25 โ ๐ 21 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 2 ๐ 0it's great! loving it in general
comparing it to nine sols, I think I prefer nine sols gameplay and its smaller scale, but the NPC/enemy designs of HK are a lot more captivating, just the whole the vibe and the VO of all the characters, it's adorable c:
is Hollow Knight rendered to an HDR buffer and then tonemapped?
they definitely make use of color grading, but in certain places it kinda looks like they have tonemapping as well, which is pretty neat
I generally agree with this idea if you can pull it off, but I'm not 100% sure it works on a map of this scale, with so many similar looking sections, and when the traversal doesn't feel very rewarding on its own (to me at least)

06.10.2025 15:28 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0I also wish the map was less abstracted, it's a little too simplified to me
my brain now has to track like five different "that long vertical shaft area full of enemies with exits scattered along each side" that all look the same on the map, but very different once you're there
I wasn't prepared for the enormous size of Hollow Knights world, good lord
I don't mind lots of content, but I feel like the fast travel points are almost intentionally designed to force you to take the long way around while passing by shortcuts that won't open up until you don't need them anymore
salad at the vet with debris from inside his ear scattered across his fur after he got his ear cleaned at the vet. he's got a fungal infection and an inflammation in one of his ears, probably due to a foreign object getting stuck. it's treatable and he'll be fine! (physically)
i wqs taken to VET but i didnyt wanmt to. , i didnent put musheroom in my ear so why you say it do ??
i dont want wet ear every day !!!!!!!!!!
but i have somewhat big number on the social medias and youtube so it was all worth it in the end right

it's as if some gamma/gamut encoding/decoding shenanigans are off, but only selectively
I have the RTX 3090, and I *think* I've only ever seen it happen on the main monitor
a recreation of the issue I'm seeing on my monitor. this is approximate, but looks very very similar. moving the image around changes the pattern sometimes, and sometimes it goes away. I *think* I've only seen it happen in chrome, but seeing as merely taking a screenshot in windows makes it 100% go away, it seems like it might be GPU/driver related? idk what's going on
I have a weird GPU/driver (?) issue
*sometimes* when viewing photos in google photos, there is a zone limited to the right side of the screen, where the colors are off and some parts look grayscale
when taking a screenshot, it doesn't happen anymore, even to me *while* taking the screenshot

I realized Iโve been sort of mourning the internet lately. Itโs odd. This โplaceโ that used to contain a wealth of actually valuable information, and introduced me to many people I now call friends, and which paved the way for my career, has almost completely rotted away. Itโs not coming back.
