The Last Judge in #Silksong is a great example of how bullshit this game can be. The fight itself is great, a decently hard skill check that's very readable and the rhythm is really smooth.
Then you win, he turns into a bomb, and if you don't know he does, it kills you and the win doesn't count.

#esittely
Morienttes kaikille!
Tajusinpa tuos, että mulla ei ole esittelyä, joten täältä pesee!
Oon 34-vuotias, mulla on ihana vaimo ja asutaan Keski-Suomessa. Opiskelen hermolomalla yliopistossa ja teen sivutoimisesti IT-hommia konsulttina sote-alan yrityksessä ja freelancerina.
Olen muuttanut Suomeen vuonna 2001 Tanskasta. Äiti on suomalainen, isä oli intialainen. Suomi on siis mun toinen kieli ja nykyään myöskin mun vahvin kieli englannin lisäksi. Tulen yrittäjäperheestä, joka varmaan selittää miksi mulla on #ADHD ja olen kiinnostunut vähän kaikesta, mutten saa mitää tehtyä :--D
Sydäntä lähellä on #videopelit, #kahvi, #fuusiojatsi, #musiikintuotanto, #rytmipelit ja #koodaaminen.
En oo kummonen koodari, töissä keskityn enemmän digitaalisiin prosesseihin, videotuotantoon ja satunnaiseen O365-tukeen ja Wordpressin tunkkaukseen. Mut on sitä muutama pienempi koodiprojekti tullut tehtyä omaan ja työkavereiden käyttöön.
Vapaa-ajalla koodailen vähän enemmän. Videopelejä on tullut tehtyä kavereiden kanssa game jameihin ja nettisivuja aika paljon muutenkin mm. #11ty:llä.
Keräilen vinyyleitä ja CD-levyjä. Viime vuosina varsinkin Casiopea:n tuotanto ja japanilainen fuusiojatsi on uponnut hyvin. Toisaalta, vihaan saksofonia, joka rajaa aika tehokkaasti muuten erinomaisia bändejä pois.
Olen harrastanut erikoiskahveja about vuodesta 2012 ja tykkään testailla uusia paahtimoita. Olen muutaman kerran myös saanut paahtaa kahvia. Kotoa löytyy Rancillio Silvia, pari kahvimyllyä ja tusina manuaalisia uuttolaitteita (mm. Chemex, V60 ja Aeropress).
Vaimon kanssa pelaillaan aika paljon #Overwatch ja satunnaisesti kivoja co-op pelejä kuten #Trine-sarjaa. #FinalFantasy, #HollowKnight, #Silksong, #Horizon, #Hades, #Balatro, #BombRushCyberfunk, #OriAndTheBlindForest ja #Tetris ovat myös omaan mieleen.
Pelailen kanssa ahkerasti tanssipelejä ja olen niissä ihan hyvä. Pelasin aktiivisesti In The Groovia vuosina 2005-2012 ja pitkän tauon jälkeen aloitin uudestaan kesällä 2025. Olen vuoden 2009 Suomen A-tason mestari.
Semmonen esittely! Jos jäi kysymyksiä tai joku aihe kiinnostaa tai haluaa muute vaa höpistä niin mulle saa aina iskeä viestiä!
#introduction
Hey everyone!
I just realized I don’t actually have an intro here, so here we go!
I’m 34 years old, I’ve got a wonderful wife, and we live in Central Finland.
I’m currently spending time at university as a form of mental health break and do IT work on the side. Both as a consultant for a healthcare-sector company and as a freelancer.
I moved to Finland in 2001 from Denmark. My mom is Finnish, my dad was Indian. So Finnish is technically my second language, but these days it’s actually my strongest one alongside English. I come from an entrepreneurial family, which probably explains why I have #ADHD and am interested in a bit of everything, but don’t really get anything done :--D
Things close to my heart include #videogames, #coffee, #fusionjazz, #musicproduction, #rhythmgames, and #coding.
I’m not exactly a great programmer. At work I focus more on digital processes, video production, occasional O365 support, and poking around in WordPress. That said, I’ve built a few smaller coding projects for myself and coworkers.
In my free time, I code a bit more seriously. I’ve made video games with friends for game jams, and I’ve built quite a lot of websites over the years, including with #11ty.
I collect vinyl and CDs. In recent years especially Casiopea and Japanese fusion jazz have really clicked with me. On the other hand... I hate the saxophone, which unfortunately rules out a lot of otherwise excellent bands.
I’ve been into specialty coffee since around 2012 and love trying new roasteries. I’ve also had the chance to roast coffee myself a couple of times. At home I’ve got a Rancilio Silvia, a couple of grinders, and about a dozen manual brewing devices (Chemex, V60, Aeropress, etc.).
My wife and I play a lot of #Overwatch together, and occasionally fun co-op games like the #Trine series. I’m also really into #FinalFantasy, #HollowKnight, #Silksong, #Horizon, #Hades, #Balatro, #BombRushCyberfunk, #OriAndTheBlindForest, and #Tetris.
I also play dance games quite actively and I’m rather good at them. I played In The Groove competitively from 2005 to 2012, and after a long break I started again in summer 2025. I’m the Finnish A-class champion of 2009.
That’s about it! If you’ve got questions, want to talk about any of this, or just feel like chatting, feel free to message me anytime!

If you know who this is I hope you can hear this picture! I'm learning embroidery after my mum got me a kit for Christmas, so here's Sherma from Silksong, even if they're a bit wonky.

it’s time for boss fights and shenanigans! it’s silksong friday!
it’s time for the Friday morning skong-around! let’s play some silksong!

my husband got the Silksong true ending with 100% completion. What a magnificent piece of art. This is what a few people can do with a vision and all the time and funding they need to do it right – no compromises.
If you weren't really aware of Silksong during the Long Era of Waiting For Silksong but now you're curious: don't attempt it until you've played its predecessor, Hollow Knight (which is also one of the best games ever made). Silksong was originally meant to be an expansion for Hollow Knight and assumes you already have a good grasp of the general mechanics and genre conventions. They are hard games, hard enough that I have to settle for watching my husband because my reflexes aren't great.
Also, Hornet is... probably the most culturally successful Female Video Game Protagonist ever, now?

on the one hand, i hate to add to the unbearable noise of BUY THINGS! and PROMOTIONAL CONTENT! but on the other hand, no one will know that i’m a little art-making creature and that some of my art gets made into prints and stationery and neat stuff you can own if i don’t make a concerted effort to try to tell you. and it would be really cool if you considered giving your support to artists who are probably just trying to pay the bills rather than line the pockets of exploitive mega-businesses where you can. i know it’s kind of inevitable that we can’t always make that choice, but where you can, whether it’s me and my silly artworks, or another artist you think is a good person making neat things, and it’s within your means to do so, your support means so much to us.
heck, if you're an artist who makes stuff for sale, feel free to drop your links below and i'd love to share them!

Finished #HollowKnight #Silksong! Great game, well worth the wait. I only wish I'd found the Wanderer Crest before late Act 2 and that exploration in Act 3 wasn't such a pain. All in all, superb game.

Obsessed with this game, so you know I had to make some Silksong flash tattoo designs! There will be many more in the future, but here is the first batch :> available as colour or black and grey.
Fleas also available separately because they're cute 🥺💕
