The context only increases the granularity of my distaste. We live in a society of conspiracism and forgetful unthinking chaos. I don't want to read entrails for clues about the future, I want to wait patiently for a good game and not become schizophrenic trying to connect meaningless dots.
But, you don't have to. This is them hinting about a upcoming announcement of a release date. For the average player like you and me, it's just the announcement itself that we need, and we'll get that.
It just seems like unnecessary noise in an already noisy world.
The silksong community is one of my favorite of all time for years now. Every couple of weeks a new “theme” of insane shitposting evolves. Most fun and creative silly posting I’ve ever seen.
One common post is “_____ every day until silksong comes out”. People are doing fanart challenges, one guy posts a video of himself petting a cat every day which is very popular. The cat had to get a surgery at one point and needed a cone but was fine.
It’s not just noise. It brings people a lot of joy. There’s been several posts over the years from people basically grieving the potential loss/change of the community once the game actually drops. I’ll miss it, too
