Hello, Silksong is gonna release on the 8.8.2025.
Why? Because William.
Well, Wilboooo.
For those who don’t know, this is William’s twitter account. Most of his posts are similar to those you see when somebody presses the auto-complete button on your phone to write a message. Some are funny, at least in the past they were, now they are just a random strings of words with meaning only understood by William.
Well that was the case until he changed his profile picture to a cake, changed his nickname/@ and tweeted something so on the nose, it couldn’t be just a coincidence.
On January 16th, William did this. To this day, we don’t really know why, but this single action made the whole community go nuts.
Why …
earlier u/E1331 made a post about why silksong will come out on 8.8.25. William has made several tweets referencing purple air, which seems very odd as he noted. Purple is hex is #800080 (8.8). But what about air he didn’t spot obvious evidence for this? It’s simple, it’s the cipher you all used in school. Each letter of the alphabet is their number. So a=0, i=8 r=17. but we need one number from this, so we add them all up 0+17+8=25. So silksong releases on 8.8.25
edit: people asking about it being 0 indexed, I think this would make sense as William would be a programmer and every programming language is 0 indexed for the first element and it is using a substitution cipher
E1331 has made excellent observations. I also forgot to mention if you rearrange air you get ari and ari gibson is one of TeamCherry’s founders
But of course this won’t ever happen to me. I will never turn to sto

During a 2004 conference, Jason Rubin talked about his grievances concerning the treatment of game devs in the industry. He opens by talking about how famous actors are given preferential treatment over game devs. Official Playstation parties that are ostensibly about the industry invite actors While Rubin himself has to call around for an invite and is told he should consider himself lucky that he gets invited. While this seems trivial, It is done to show how these companies don’t value the developers they employ. The general point that he builds up to is that gaming is a talent based industry that is being treated like a product industry. Deliberate obfuscation is used to tie games to nebulous companies rather their individual creators in most cases.
Rubin’s plan to remedy these various issues is to start mimicking aspects of Hollywood. He urges game developers to put themselves out there and become public figures similar to how movie directors are. He hopes for a world where gaming …
I wonder how many whales out there have actually purchased most or all of the content.
Edit: To be clear, I don’t take issue with charging this much over more than a decade. I do take issue with the game and its DLC still costing this much today, for someone just starting out.
Hello everyone! I have been working silently alone on this new horror VR game called Trenches VR. It’s a horror game where you play as a lost solider in WW1 and have to escape. Monsters can also hear your microphone from your headset and you have to use a Trench Whistle in order to navigate through :) If you like it please wishlist it on steam!

Thank you and let me know what you think! :)
What the rework involves:
It will now be much easier to kill a careless tinker in the laning phase and throughout the game in general.
Let’s be honest, this facet is very annoying.
Gives the second skill (March of the Machines) an alternative cast: Launches a pair of rockets at the nearest visible enemy heroes within 1500 range. (The most recent version of rockets that was in the game.)
This will give Tinker the opportunity to help his team in the early game, instead of afk farming the jungle, listening to his team displeased with his passivity. Tinker won’t be able to use Heat Seeking Missile and March of the Machines at the same time, because they are in the same ability slot, giving you a choice of which is more important to use at the moment.
There are so many Venomancer players nowadays, even in pro game, you see it from Pos 2 to Pos 5.
But in my heart, nothing beats the days when Matu played it as a true Pos 1 in Team Liquid those day. The way he built his items, the way he fully sacrificed himself for the team, that was the ultimate “sacrifice carry.”
It wasn’t just a hero pick, it was an art form. I still remember it fondly.
I was talking to some friends and joked about giving minions shiv ult, which prompted me to sketch out a little group of executioner minions that chase down low health players to try and kill them. Is it a horrible idea? Yeah. Is it funny though? I think so. Anyway, what kind of npcs would you like to see in the final game?
One of the immediate draws to the game for me was how much potential for build variety there was, but it seems like the balance changes have slowly funneled most of the heroes into one main build with some slight variations and a meme build if you’re lucky. Is it just me, or are other people feeling it too?
