The trolling will never end apparently

    No no it’s good, this is actually better than them making a proper announcement. Community loves this shit.

    Quick summary:

    Dev changes name, handle, and pfp on twitter. Posts a cryptic message about keeping your eyes closed tomorrow.

    Reverse image search of pfp leads to a recipe released April 2nd

    Cryptic message appears to be a reference to an Imagine Dragons thing from April 2nd

    “Tomorrow” was interpreted as being related to the big switch 2 reveal, launching April 2nd

    The name and handle also appear to be references to things having to do with April 2nd

    The community is ablaze right now. Without a hint of irony: there is more genuine belief in the game actually coming out this time than there was before the original delay was announced in 2023, back when we had an official release date

      I have a hard time accepting the way social media works. The whole chain of logic you just spelled out makes me want to vomit. I don’t want to have my strings pulled, my chain yanked, or my goose got. I want to be talked to like I’m a person, and I know it’s just going to keep happening less and less and one day it’s going to do my head in.

        It’s not for “normal” people, it’s for die-hard fans in their community, a little brain teaser / clue hunt. For the rest of us, there’ll be a proper announcement and a trailer.

        Different things for different people.

        Then don’t engage with it lol? You are free to wait for proper official announcement or confirmation of the game instead of being here discussing a cake picture

      I can’t wait for April 2nd. Few things are as fun as seeing the Silksong community get disappointed over and over again

      It would be quite funny then to have them shadow drop it on april 1 with people freaking out about trying to tell others only be be met with disbelief as credibility of any statement about game release was already heavily compromised. Bonus point if they add 'coming soon" to logo on steam page for that day.

    Honestly I love how completely deranged the silksong community has been growing over the years

      I remember how weird it was getting in the Elden Ring community after the Miquella teaser image was released, but before we had any other info at all, and that was only a gap of about a year, I think lmao. I can’t imagine what Silksong forums look like
