    I was just telling my friend the same! I don't care about GOTY drama I just want more of this! ("This" being studios making art of each other's characters to celebrate)

    Kinda funny how everyone is dripped out (it seems) and Hornet's in her normal wear lol. It's also coincidental that I commissioned my friend to draw the GOTY 2025 nominees hanging out backstage, but they're gonna be wearing different clothing

    She’s royalty so her normal outfit could be actually be her being “dripped out”

    Silksong spoilers She wears a royal outfit reminiscent of her father in the Red Memory. It's absolute drip. Her cloak is also shown to have been woven by her when she was a child.

    It’s not just royalty cloths but a family heirloom too if that’s not dripped out then I don’t know what is too

    It's pretty easy to insult you too.

    I could just link you to a dictionary page explaining what a metaphor is if you'd like.

    parent root
    13 points LuizLPG

    While I agree that the parasite story is likely an allegory to SA and having an abortion, it is still subjective and up to viewer interpretation. There's no reason to call someone a buffoon just because they disagree with your point of view.

    parent root
    -3 points cheekydorido

    they can disagree all they want, the fact that there's always some nutter immediately jumping in, literaly a couple of minutes after my comment, and not knowing what a metaphor and taking the scene only at face value is so bizzare to me.

    It comes with a bonus to attract paparazzi attention, so he can be the target of camera flashes when his new friends are pretty done with the limelight and just want to go home.

    Imma be so honest, I don’t think the game awards do enough with the incredible potential for this medium. If they had some artists on payroll each year they could have incredible red carpet pictures, interviews photos, paparazzi shots, EVERYTHING that traditional media has but accentuated because these characters are animated. I want so much more of these

    That's because the VGAs are nothing but corporate slop made to get views. Art should not be competed with, it should be celebrated.

    parent root
    20 points DarkX_Oscar

    But it is celebrated. This entire event is a celebration of video games and I disagree with no competition. Friendly competition like that of the game awards invites old and new developers to continue to improve and strive to make better games it helps give them confidence and inspiration to create new art! It even inspires the younger generation to get into game development to maybe one day be a part of something that makes it to that event and maybe even make it there themselves.

    4 points cheekydorido

    pretty sure that good art itself, and the act of making said good art is the inspiration, not some silly corporate backed award show, that's mostly used as an advertisement.

    Don't let me take the joy away from you, but let's not act like this thing isn't some corporate cringefest

    parent root
    1 points DarkX_Oscar

    Yeah there’s definitely more corporate aspects than I would like but that’s kinda unavoidable with a show this big and even then it doesn’t ruin it for me at all. I just like to see nights and events like this as a celebration for video games as a medium . But hey each to their own if you don’t like it then fair enough that’s your opinion :)

    Nope, I don't think they ever stated a canon scale for the universe. For all we know they could be microscopic or elephant-sized.

    parent root
    1 points Low_Health_5949

    well there are a lot of life size objects in Silksong such as spools and scissors in the game, so you could make the argument that they are technically micro size, unless some thing else could throw that logic out the window

    parent root
    1 points Rel_Ortal

    Despite the fact that they use needles, nails, pins, scissors, etc, there's no evidence that there's any human (or otherwise non-bug) civilization that would have created such. Especially since those items aren't scaled with one another like they would if something larger had made them.

    It's most likely that those are simply the forms bug weapons take, barring some massive future reveal.

    1 points Little_Cute_Hornet

    I don’t think that the bugs of HK are so tiny or microscopical. They could be any size since it’s an original universe. Also… It wouldn’t make sense with the scale of everything else. If they were so small then the moss would be like trees and stuff like that. The water and everything would behave differently. I think that the size they chose for her in the drawing however it’s fine, I like that comparing to the others it emphasizes that she is a bug.
