Weeks after Silksong's launch I can't stop thinking about this streamer's masterful troll campaign against its fans: 'They made a whole game about getting to your car but you don't have car keys, and you're excited for that?'

I've spent a not-insignificant portion of my waking hours the last few weeks thinking (and writing) about Hollow Knight: Silksong, but I may have actually spent more time replaying a description of the game from streamer Northernlion in my head over and over again like a Nick at Nite rerun.

While Silksong was the focal point of online gaming conversation from its late August release date announcement up until the launch of Borderlands 4, Northernlion not only cheerily avoided streaming it alongside other big Twitch channels, but spent the Silksong hype period roasting viewers who asked why he wasn't playing it.
