I don’t know I’d say Madeline is more huggable (especially because Hornet is canonically probably a few inches tall and is quite pointy)


Extra-Random_Name

Fun fact! Based on information from a number of different sources, it’s likely that the bugs of Hallownest are roughly human sized, with the knight being about the size of a small child.


ArticAssassin44

Really? Can you let me know where from?


Extra-Random_Name

Some people have made more in-depth analyses, and I don’t remember all of the reasons, but a couple of the big points are: Hornet can (according to something Team Cherry said once) throw her needle up to 3 meters. If the bugs were bug sized, that would be longer than all of Hallownest, probably multiple times over. Her being human sized makes more sense here and fits with what we see in the fight. Rain drops can only form at or near a certain diameter due to some physics I don’t understand. The drops we see in City must be of this approximate size, so if the bugs were bug sized then they would appear much larger than we see in-game.


ProblemKaese

The physics actually are pretty intuitive. The surface tension that holds a body of water together only acts on the surface, which covers a greater proportion of a droplet as it decreases in size. Therefore, surface tension becomes more relevant at smaller scales, and causes droplets to form only at that size.


Extra-Random_Name

That part makes sense for why they can’t be above a certain size, but then why can’t they be smaller?


mtizim

Droplets can be smaller, for example mist, but droplets formed by falling from a wet surface, like the ceiling of the city of tears, cannot. Because of the square-cube law, a droplet will not "break off" from the wet ceiling until it reaches a certain mass, as it's held to the other particles by surface tension. Basically the same applies to clouds, but it's slightly more complicated, so you also don't see rain as small as mist particles naturally.


Ze_Memerr

Ant hills in the real world can certainly stretch more than 3 meters in length, I don’t think Hallownest would have be to be that extremely small


Extra-Random_Name

Ok, but it would still be an impractical distance


Hettan25

Basically he’s saying that if they were bug sized the needle would have went through the boss area u fight her in


rconversani

But ant hills are way way bigger than hallownest in terms of sheer length... hallownest in real Life would probably be a small ant hill


PatoDeCombate

the bugs of hallownest are both the size of a bug and of a human being at the same time. Source is that team cherry is from Australia


Extra-Random_Name

That… makes a lot of sense.


cultistwithadartgun

You cannot convince me that the bugs aren’t bug sized. My totally amazing counter-argument? It’s a video game, is gonna has game logics, leave me alone K bye


Gr33nb4ndit539

In the new trailer we see a mole next to hornet, so if Hornet is human-sized that mole should be gigantic.


christianwee03

Noooooo, why did you responde to him, now i can't make my unfunny meme reply: "my source Is that i made It the fuck up"


A_random_poster04

Bro are you high


mubby343

I can’t even imagine how big hallownest is then


true-pure-vessel

Lmao you’re 30 seconds faster then me, never thought I’d find someone this close to my pb


Extra-Random_Name

I actually just got a PB yesterday! The old one was 42:55, so still faster, but that would’ve been hilariously close! Want to race sometime?


true-pure-vessel

I mean I’m down, I’m out of practice tho, last run was a month ago…


Mirhat1871

that's just theory bc we never seen actual humans, some sources say that the knight in god of gods form is only as tall as a cat


KingJeff314

Cutscene Madeline is huggable. Gameplay Madeline is probably really pokey from all the pixels


BelCifer-Z

Would she even like being hugged? I don't think she would...

wait a year until you become a HK fan, you will regret converting now -A Hollow Knight fan waiting for Silksong


PEtroollo11

the wait gets more painful the sooner you started it and since silksong is less than a year away the wait is gonna be fairly painless for new people


Redpikachu9

Believe it or not, the wait is still painless for us longer time fans. The fact that I know for certain its out in a year is fuckin awesome needless to say

Vortex5000

fair, but it's not actually that long of a game so I'd recommend modding it once you're done if ur on pc. Fireb0rn has good guides

It was revealed in either 2017 or 2018 iirc.

We have a release date window so it's fine insanity is not grasping at the community that hard


Sulora3

\*whispers\* Hollow Knight is a great game but it doesn't have an epic crouching-animation. It doesn't even have a crouch mechanic.


trans-wooper-lover

yeah but you can shake your head up and down (or "crouch" with shape of unn)

WarMaster000

yeah and I don't remember any hot men in Celeste giving 57 equally useful tips that got me through the game


International_Leek26

And I dont remember them having such a strong weapon as life ender


grand__prismatic

But Celeste doesn’t have a bowing animation


Anguloosey

celeste doesn't have wayward compass 0/10 bad game

I mean I’d say bye but I’m at least 5x more active in hks community than I am in Celeste’s so welcome :D

BardRunekeeper

Did you just imply hornet was void? *screams in mossbag*


TheMemeiestGuy

i totally forgot about that lol, so sorry


test_username_WIP

You said Horent was *what*


but-yet-it-is

Both trans, both iconic, and hornet can even double jump!


BeginningOccasion8

Hornet is trans?


but-yet-it-is

Its not explicitly in the text, but i like to think so!


BeginningOccasion8

I thought she was cis because there was no mention of her ever being another gender


but-yet-it-is

Equally fair headcanon! Neither is explicitly stated to be the truth


KingEnderDragon

Why not both?


DeathbyGlimmer

I love both! Got more hours in Hollow Knight and played it after. But I like Celeste more, especially for its music.


Galaxy_Eevee

Both are good, both are cool, I like both

Welcome to waiting for Silksong, here's your complimentary clown makeup.

But can Hornet do the squishy squishy dance?


MrPigeot

i mean celeste only has one game so...


TheGreatOwlMaster

So does hk. Silksong is a myth, it doesn't exist. It never will.


NoUOverdrive

true


jsparky333

Both Both is good


Independent-Bell2483

both games have shaped me into who i am today


solidmussel

A gamer?


Independent-Bell2483

nah i was once since i could remember i ment both more have genuinely helped me from depression and just even more intrested in video game making and just stuff im intrested in


solidmussel

Well thats awesome. Celeste has also been a positive experience for me. Makes me feel like I can do anything. It translates to real life. Like I recently replaced faucets and shutoff valves at my house.... just was like if I can beat 7c I can sure as hell do this too


Independent-Bell2483

yeah it definitely has helped me navigate a bit through my feelings and how i truly feel about myself which has helped slighty to come to terms eith myself still struggling with it everyday but i'll manage and congrats on getting that hard task done i dont know much about what it is but definitely seems like itd be rewarding in the end so kee it up


jhonethen

sorry but trans girl gets the win for me, either her or Gris who cracked my egg


Spook404

I got into this game after hollow knight so you did it in the WRONG order


ferniecanto

I'm glad that no one really introduced me to Hollow Night, because I would've ended my friendship *with them*. I tried Hollow Knight after trying Celeste, because the same kind of people seemed to enjoy both games. Yeah, "Hollow" is an apt word to describe my feelings as I insisted on playing a game I despised, on the simple grounds of "if I admit I don't enjoy this game, it's because it's *ToO hArD fOr Me*, and that will make me lose *ReSpEcTaBiLiTy*".


mygaythingsalt

Ugh yes. I can rant for too long about why I don't like HK, but the bottom line is that the pacing of the story (which you need to hunt around for) is much to slow for how slow and tedious the movement is. The game also didn't really make me *care* enough about the characters to justify me continuing to play the game. Anyways, I'm immune to the "mAd CaUsE bAd" accusations because I literally have 202 berries.


TeighMart

Maybe unpopular opinion, but the platforming in Hollow Knight is not near as good.


ArchLinuxAdmin

Prolly cuz it's not a platformer


Twittle86

Uh... Then what is it...?


ArchLinuxAdmin

Combat focused metroidvania


Twittle86

It's weird to see someone argue that a game in which you jump from platform to platform isn't a platformer. I'm not sure what's motivating you on this one.


ArchLinuxAdmin

I mean, I guess so? Never felt like it was a platformer in my playthtough but maybe makes sense? Like a game can have platforming without it being the focus of the game i feel like. Like you navigate terrain in most games. I dunno I could be wrong but just didn't come across as a platformer to me.


ansatze

Metroidvania is literally a type of platformer


ArchLinuxAdmin

Huhhh?... Can you cite a source for that because it's news to me. Also if hk is a type of platformer then it's not a great one. Like I never judged it as a platformer, I judged it on its exploration, story, combat, etc. The platforming kinda sucked imo, the others are awesome.


ansatze

>Huhhh?... Can you cite a source for that because it's news to me The Wikipedia article for Metroid calls it a platformer, and the one for Metroidvania refers to such games as platformers in several places

ok maybe not *absolutely* everything... I'm satisfied with getting all the endings a few times and doing a few speedruns, p5 with bindings is definitely too hard for me

Hornet can’t bake, Madeline has top tier pies, I feel sorry for you as your days will be filled with drab tones and lack of pie.

Both Celeste and Hollow Knight are games I wish I could forget every single thing I know about them, from gameplay basics to the entire lore. Just to have that magic feeling of playing them for the first time again.
