I’d rather him find that out later when he’s taken in by the Potato Gestapo (They’re not actually Gestapo we just took the name)

Yea... if you thought HK was unfairly hard don't even bother booting up Silksong lol
Potato Jolson (@thejolson.bsky.social) reply parent
YOU THROW POTATOES
Potato Jolson (@thejolson.bsky.social)
I uninstalled Silksong. I'm sure the top 30% of Hollow Knight fans are having the time of their lives but I'm done. It's more frustrating than fun for me I could power through and beat it eventually. I just don't want to
Potato Jolson (@thejolson.bsky.social) reply parent
I mean, you don't get to determine that for me
Potato Jolson (@thejolson.bsky.social)
The number of flying enemies in Silksong that just float out of range of being hit everytime you get close to hit them and then throw a projectile is REALLY annoying
Potato Jolson (@thejolson.bsky.social)
Is there some magical item that makes it so you don't take double damage from 40% of enemies and almost every boss? It makes me not wanna explore if the things that spit fire and the new flying guys with iron helmets all do double damage. Nevermind the iron Nemesis I found
Potato Jolson (@thejolson.bsky.social)
Okay Silksong- giving you more time to win me over. I have the Crest of the Reaper so maybe a change in playstyle will help me click more with the game

lol I was stunned when I saw he blocked me. Like if all you reply with is the following gif I'm not sure what response you'd expect:

I loved both Mario Kart World and DK Bananza! I love my Switch 2
Potato Jolson (@thejolson.bsky.social) reply parent
Hey happy early birthday! And that’s awesome! Dunno if you like tactical RPGs but a Final Fantasy Tactics remaster comes out like the day after. Hope you enjoy the S2!
Potato Jolson (@thejolson.bsky.social)
😂 If you're going to respond to someone with a "Skill issue" gif on a post maybe don't chicken out and block them when they reply with more pepper than you can handle. If you bring the heat, don't be surprised when someone turns it around on you lol
Potato Jolson (@thejolson.bsky.social) reply parent
Yea I don't feel bad dropping a game. There's plenty of stuff to play
Potato Jolson (@thejolson.bsky.social) reply parent
Yea my choices are Moorwing or 2 combat rooms lol
Potato Jolson (@thejolson.bsky.social) reply parent
...so... you're telling me you can read? What part of what I wrote WASN'T me saying it was a skill issue? Is reading a skill issue for you? 😂
Potato Jolson (@thejolson.bsky.social) reply parent
Oh hey I found a third path... with a boss. So my choices are two combat rooms or a boss that kills me in 3 hits cause EVERY boss in the game does 2 damage per hit it seems
Potato Jolson (@thejolson.bsky.social) reply parent
Greymoor isn't treating me much better lol
Potato Jolson (@thejolson.bsky.social) reply parent
That's what it's looking like at the moment.
Potato Jolson (@thejolson.bsky.social) reply parent
Oh hey I thought I was close multiple times but there was at least one more room with two toughest enemies. I'm done with this room for now. I may give up on Silksong altogether cause this isn't making me feel accomplished it's just making me feel frustrated
Potato Jolson (@thejolson.bsky.social) reply parent
Also I swear the projectiles some enemies throw have input detection. Like I'm across the map trying to dodge a flying bug thing and the little ant warrior throws a spinning disc DIRECTLY where I dodged to
Potato Jolson (@thejolson.bsky.social) reply parent
I went a different direction and made some progress, only to run into a similar room in Greymoor I think? So my choices are this room or that one.
Potato Jolson (@thejolson.bsky.social) reply parent
100% agreed. And that area in terms of platforming just feels like BS in general
Potato Jolson (@thejolson.bsky.social) reply parent
I might not have even reached that one yet lol
Potato Jolson (@thejolson.bsky.social) reply parent
It really feels like the game was made for the hardcore fans of the first one, which is fine but I'm definitely not among those. I don't enjoy the combat enough to do these encounters 10+ times
Potato Jolson (@thejolson.bsky.social)
I'm just gonna own it: the random combat rooms in Silksong are really giving me issues. I'm like 3 hours into the game and it just seems ridiculous to put rooms you have to fight multiple waves of enemies in and I really struggle to complete them. The one in the Hunter's March is really getting me
Potato Jolson (@thejolson.bsky.social) reply parent
Nah Donna and Harvey are great BUT JENNY WAS BETTER THAN RACHEL

Auron is a top 3 Final Fantasy character
Potato Jolson (@thejolson.bsky.social)
It’s a shame Kingdom Hearts games haven’t incorporated more Square Enix characters into the games in general, let alone getting to have them in the party like this!
Potato Jolson (@thejolson.bsky.social) reply parent
There are no bad ideas in brainstorming
Potato Jolson (@thejolson.bsky.social) reply parent
Okay so now the path of least resistance for me to get on there is assassinating people in that skircle until I'm in the next one
Potato Jolson (@thejolson.bsky.social) reply parent
TAZE THEM
Potato Jolson (@thejolson.bsky.social) reply parent
I did not try the Pantheons lol. I found Hollow Knight a bit frustrating and was content with just beating it 😂 Also F*CK the Traitor Lord
Potato Jolson (@thejolson.bsky.social) reply parent
Holy crap are you feeling okay?
Potato Jolson (@thejolson.bsky.social) reply parent
Genuinely I may have enjoyed Fourth Chorus more than any boss I fought in Hollow Knight
Potato Jolson (@thejolson.bsky.social) reply parent
I’ll just call it photoshop later

Potato Jolson (@thejolson.bsky.social) reply parent
I LOVED Fourth Chorus. Also Lace but Fourth Chorus really stood out

Dude when I saw that I lost it lol

Okay Moboo's streak of amazing work continues
Potato Jolson (@thejolson.bsky.social)
Things I hoped for in Silksong- Less horrible boss runbacks Not having to use an equipment slot to see your location Things Silksong did- Neither of these

Game 81- Kingdom Hearts I forgot how much I hate the first phase of the final boss’s 3rd phase. And that sentence should indicate to you that the finale of KH is full on Square nonsense 😂 Still one of my favorite games ever
Potato Jolson (@thejolson.bsky.social) reply parent
Yea I actually have that downloaded but I need a break from difficulty for a bit 😂
Potato Jolson (@thejolson.bsky.social) reply parent
I played it back when it released on the 360. I'm looking forward to going through it again :-)
Potato Jolson (@thejolson.bsky.social) reply parent
Shadow Complex Remastered, Record of Lodoss War- Deedlit in Wonder Labyrinth, Castlevania Advance Collection, and this new little game called Silksong lol
Potato Jolson (@thejolson.bsky.social)
So I'm watching the new Spike Lee and Denzel Washington movie and... holy crap that's Rick Fox with a cameo lol
Potato Jolson (@thejolson.bsky.social)
You know what playing Hollow Knight led to? I just installed like 4 more Metroidvanias on my Steam Deck lol
Potato Jolson (@thejolson.bsky.social) reply parent
This is 100% the type of reaction I go for 😂
Potato Jolson (@thejolson.bsky.social) reply parent
Game 80- Hollow Knight I found a decent amount of things about this game frustrating, but I get why people love it. That being said I hope Silksong has some QoL improvements
Potato Jolson (@thejolson.bsky.social) reply parent
Yea I found the crane thing. And I'm gonna tackle Hornet first to get the shade dodge thingee (I'm not opposed to looking up guides lol)
Potato Jolson (@thejolson.bsky.social)
Oh hey I found the Watcher Knights I may quit Hollow Knight lol
Potato Jolson (@thejolson.bsky.social)
Hey I got to the second Hornet fight in Hollow Knight You're not gonna convince me they don't have input reading because so many of the hits I've taken have been utter BS
Potato Jolson (@thejolson.bsky.social) reply parent
Wow you don’t know GNOSKLIS!? I’m embarrassed for you

Can we talk about how mobile versions of sites are basically unusable? Like @ign.com’s site is AWFUL on mobile devices. Like congrats 60% of the page is covered by ads and the close button is so small you’ll inadvertently click the ad when you try to close it (which I’m sure is by design)
Potato Jolson (@thejolson.bsky.social)
Congrats to the Silksong fans for today has been a long time coming It’s not one of my most anticipated games but I’m always glad when people get games they’ve been looking forward to for a long time
