sophie 🍓 @essoltro.bsky.social · 17/05/2026aw neat that must feel so eerie though hahaha I’m imagining like when you see behind the scenes of movies when they’re filming action sequences but obviously they haven’t put the soundtrack music in yet and it’s just *silence* 110
sophie 🍓 @essoltro.bsky.social · 17/05/2026But it makes sense!! Do you still have the sound effects on? (No idea if these can even be turned off separately or you just played the fights with all audio muted) 121
sophie 🍓 @essoltro.bsky.social · 17/05/2026tbh I’m always struggling to comprehend the passage of time lol Read your blog post it was very interesting about turning off the music for the boss fights!!! Especially given that I feel like these fights are often described as a “dance” so turning off the music seems very counterintuitive 110
sophie 🍓 @essoltro.bsky.social · 17/05/2026let’s goooooooo!!!! 🥳🥳🥳 (also - as if it’s been 8 months since silksong came out?? 🤯) 110
sophie 🍓 @essoltro.bsky.social · 17/03/2026you should go back and check out the far fields if you feel like it though because i think you would really like that one :))) 111
sophie 🍓 @essoltro.bsky.social · 04/03/2026it’s soooo fast it feels impossible at first but such a fun one to learn the patterns for and just flow state through it 110
sophie 🍓 @essoltro.bsky.social · 17/02/2026i wish i could experience this again for the first time 🥹🥹🥹 110
sophie 🍓 @essoltro.bsky.social · 17/02/2026this will NEVER happen again omg i shall relish it !!!! 010
sophie 🍓 @essoltro.bsky.social · 17/02/2026surely if you don’t save the bell beast they give you the secret Worst Ending 111
sophie 🍓 @essoltro.bsky.social · 16/02/2026i didn’t want to eitherrrr but i thought the game would be even meaner to me if i tried to skip 😔😔 i guess its a completely optional fight if you’re happy to just manually traverse the whole map for the rest of the game??? 110
sophie 🍓 @essoltro.bsky.social · 16/02/2026after all this time it really was just down to the fleas huh 😅 010
sophie 🍓 @essoltro.bsky.social · 15/02/2026- and that was the last trigger for me to fulfil the requirements for silk and soul. so i didn’t experience any of this directionless wandering around at all since i guess i was just pretty consistently doing side quests throughout the whole game? so interesting to have such a different experience!! 110
sophie 🍓 @essoltro.bsky.social · 15/02/2026curious if you had to do many more wish quests to unlock silk and soul, after moving the flea caravan? i don’t remember exactly but referring back to my notes it looks like i took a break from attempting GMS to go finish the taste of pharloom quest to upgrade my needle and make that fight easier - 110
sophie 🍓 @essoltro.bsky.social · 13/02/2026😅 ok when you’re ready for hints i’ll get you to show me your inventory so i can see if you did the thing i am trying to get at without spoiling you alshskdjskd 110
sophie 🍓 @essoltro.bsky.social · 12/02/2026yes but [redacted] in the area at the end of the mist??? 🤔 100
sophie 🍓 @essoltro.bsky.social · 12/02/2026did you end up getting to [redacted]??? bc i was so sure you would love that bit… unless getting spoiled just made you too sad to even mention it 😔😔 100
sophie 🍓 @essoltro.bsky.social · 12/02/2026i mean you very much DID progress with what you did if that makes you feel any better :D you were gonna have to do it at some point !!! also very impressed at your determination to not give in and google hints btw i wish that was me 😔🥲 110
sophie 🍓 @essoltro.bsky.social · 06/02/2026nooooooooooo omg just ask me next time ok i can give you much safer hints !! 110
sophie 🍓 @essoltro.bsky.social · 06/02/2026awww you’re gonna have a GREAT time when you finally figure it out :D 110
sophie 🍓 @essoltro.bsky.social · 06/02/2026WHOOOOO it felt so awesome hahaha i never ended up actually defeating the final Final boss of the game but i did make it far enough to attempt it 🫡🫡 was pretty chuffed about that altogether 120
sophie 🍓 @essoltro.bsky.social · 06/02/2026awwww nice hahaha yeah that would have reduced me to TEARS if i’d stumbled into it when i was initially “supposed” to lol 010
sophie 🍓 @essoltro.bsky.social · 06/02/2026this is why you’re a pro gamer and i’m not hahahaha even with all that i was STRUGGLING to survive at the end 😅😅 we got through though and that’s what matters 020
sophie 🍓 @essoltro.bsky.social · 05/02/2026wait you don’t even have to hop around like i was doing you can just hang out in the same spot and not even move???? 110
sophie 🍓 @essoltro.bsky.social · 05/02/2026ok calm down i wouldn’t call it TRIVIAL 🥲🥲🥲 but congrats i knew you could do it hahaha. did not realise you were doing it on level 1 nail before omg 110
sophie 🍓 @essoltro.bsky.social · 05/02/2026less impressive that i did it with clawline bahahaha but yeah i remember seeing the grip in the shop and i was like “well i don’t really NEED that it would just make things mildly less annoying” nah its a total game changer 110
sophie 🍓 @essoltro.bsky.social · 05/02/2026i feel like good video game protagonist narration must be really difficult to write well but they absolutely nailed it 110
sophie 🍓 @essoltro.bsky.social · 04/02/2026it’s just harder and more annoying in a not fun way that will become clear at the time lol 110
sophie 🍓 @essoltro.bsky.social · 04/02/2026freya: “i’m not going to buy any maps for better immersion 😇😇” 111
sophie 🍓 @essoltro.bsky.social · 04/02/2026lolllll no definitely be glad that you did flintbrothers in act 2 💀 210
sophie 🍓 @essoltro.bsky.social · 04/02/2026i would have hinted it to you at the right time if it came to it alsjaldjsl 210
sophie 🍓 @essoltro.bsky.social · 01/02/2026very much so, this was the last part of the quest i had to do and i still went and did one million extra side things before coming back to try again 😭😭 it’s TOUGH. depending on how stubborn you’re feeling there are certainly things you can do to make it easier… if you want hints lmk lol 110
sophie 🍓 @essoltro.bsky.social · 01/02/2026i loveeeee clawline!!! and you didn’t even have shakra to take them out while you hide out of reach in the corner 😭😭😭 mad respect to you for that i don’t think i could have done it 110
sophie 🍓 @essoltro.bsky.social · 17/01/2026omg that’s so cool i didn’t know you could get bugnapped in bilewater 110
sophie 🍓 @essoltro.bsky.social · 17/01/2026surely i play a steel soul run now like what could POSSIBLY go wrong!!! 010
sophie 🍓 @essoltro.bsky.social · 17/01/2026just when you think the fleas couldn’t get any better they will continue to bring even more joy and delight!!!! 010
sophie 🍓 @essoltro.bsky.social · 11/01/2026does this have anything to do with you still refusing to buy maps lmao 110
sophie 🍓 @essoltro.bsky.social · 26/12/2025omg you still have so much to explore and discover i’m so excited for you!!!! 110
sophie 🍓 @essoltro.bsky.social · 24/11/2025never mind i ended up being so good at this fight it only took me like 10 attempts?? i almost wish it had been harder for me because it was SO FUN this is people who are actually good at this game feel i guess 110
