I ran into one of the best Hollow Knight cosplays I have ever seen at NYCC.

I like the take on both Hornet and the blacksmith. I wish I had better pictures.

Can I change the order of my save files?

In slot 1 I have my first run, but in slot 3 I am making a new run for the speedrun achievement. I want the ru in slot 3 to be in slot 1, is it possible, even by going to the local files, to change my save file order? If so, how can I change it?

Frame limiter/Vsync not working

Basically what the title says. I played the game about a year ago with my old pc and in this time i´ve upgraded almost everything on the pc and the game is running at 400 fps, if I have the frame limiter on, and if I turn it off it goes to 1000 fps and that makes my gpu very hot. Vsync is also not working, it feels as if it is not doing anything

I have an RX 6800XT and a Ryzen 7 5700x. I´ve already checked drivers and can´t find a solution. Any help is apreciated

Got the game on steam so I don´t think it is a problem with the files

Hollow Knight and why it keeps pushing me away

I think I might have finally figured out why, despite loving metroidvanias and adoring Dark Souls, I keep bouncing off of Hollow Knight.

I wanna start by saying that I think this is an amazing game, and when I’m having fun, I’m having a LOT of fun. But it’s constantly mystified me why I’ve been bouncing off this game so hard when it has all the aspects of a game I should love.

It’s the lack of a proper diagonal ranged option, or even diagonal attack.

I’m pretty far in, I like to think, and I’m dealing with my most hated enemy type so far: Primal Aspids. They are what finally cinched my conclusion here. See, lack of real feedback when enemies take damage and the lack of knockback aside, primal aspids fire a cluster of three shots less than a second apart. You can’t approach directly, you’ll just get shot, and the vengeful spirit doesn’t do enough damage to reliably kill them without a specific charm setup.

If I could hit them at a diagonal angle, I think I’d have less of a problem with that.

Aria of Sorrow (and presumably DoS, though I haven’t gotten to that yet) gave you tools like the Skeleton or the Axe in SotN to deal with threats at this specific range. Metroid is- well, Metroid, range is the name of the game there- and even Dead Cells had specific tools for specific angles.

I might just be missing a particular upgrade or maybe even a charm or something, but having only four angles of attack is the only thing about this game I genuinely dislike so far.

Any thoughts, feedback? Obviously expecting some “Git Guds” outta this but I’ve been in the Souls sphere for a long time, so I expect that.

Radiant Paintmaster Sheo tips?

He is one of the last radiant bosses I need to defeat before I’m finished, and I just can’t get him. I’ve tried looking up tactics but I can’t find anyone talking about him on Radiant because it seems the general consensus is that he’s easy and no one needs tips.

The main thing I struggle with is that he gets me in a corner and then either does the red plunge which I can’t dash through because of the AOE, and can’t jump because of the blobs, or the blue which I can’t dash through because of how big he is, and again I can’t jump because of the blobs and just the slash in general.

Additionally when he does the purple I need to keep my eyes in the sky, which means I’m not looking at him, and I suck at audio cues so half of my deaths have been to him using the yellow while I don’t know he’s doing that because I’m looking at the sky.

My charm build is Unbreakable Strength, Shaman Stone, Quick Slash, and Mark of Pride, if it matters.

I remade the City of Tears OST

I just remade the City of Tears OST from scratch, kinda like my own rendition. Don’t know why, but thought it would be pretty cool.
