Hollow Knight: Silksong has been out for—let's see—19 hours and 43 minutes at the time of writing, so it's time to absolutely snap the whole thing over our knees. The speedrunning community is already at it (via Eurogamer) with Silksong, rapidly uncovering a myriad of techniques that we'll all one day gawp at during an upcoming Awesome Games Done Quick. It's cool as hell, but I will never have the manual dexterity or mental energy to use any of these tactics.
The work is taking place anywhere two or more Silksong fans are gathered, of course, but (oddly enough) you can get a great overview of the Silksong speedrunning community's work in the speedrunning channel on the Hollow Knight Discord and in the Hollow Knight Speedrun and Racing Community.
