![]() ![]() Finally, The Citadel will probably be one of the most important locations for Hollow Knight: Silksong in terms of narrative and, although there are not many details out yet, it has been described as a "holy" place. The Marrow seems to be similar to the Stagways from Hollow Knight and is also one of the earliest areas Hornet will get to visit. However, it seems like Greymoor is one of the biggest areas Team Cherry has designed, which is bound to make for an interesting landscape. There are not as many confirmed details for the other areas. Just as the Moss Grotto, the Deep Docks has a sub-area called Wind Songshrine. Some of the NPCs that can be found in the Deep Docks are the Forge Daughter, who will be helping Hornet craft her tools, and the already famous boss Lace. In that sense, fans of Hollow Knight may find it similar to the Crystal Peaks. The Old Church is reached after Hornet defeats the first boss, and it is inhabited by the Church Keeper.Īnother early area in Hollow Knight: Silksong is Deep Docks, which seems like an industrialized area. ![]() The Moss Grotto has points of interest where Hornet can obtain Rosaries or Silk Flowers, but most importantly, it has a sub-area called the Old Church. It is located at the bottom of Pharloom, and it is the place where Hornet breaks free from her encasement. The Moss Grotto is the first area that Hornet will be exploring as she reaches Pharloom. Out of these areas, the first two are the ones that fans have had the most chance to examine. So far, there are five areas in Pharloom whose names have been confirmed: Moss Grotto, Deep Docks, Greymoor, The Citadel, and The Marrow. RELATED: No Hollow Knight: Silksong Information Planned for E3, Developer Says Confirmed Areas In Hollow Knight: Silksong Consequently, there is already a lot of information available about Hollow Knight: Silksong's areas, even though the game has yet to be released. Just like in the previous installment, fans are planning to dissect every area in Pharloom to unearth the game's narrative. Not only were these locations challenging and fun to explore, but they all were filled with elements that were key to understanding the game's lore. In the first Hollow Knight game, fans got to explore the giant map of Hallownest, and it was filled with many different areas that each had their own unique characteristics. If the areas boast the same level of world-building seen in the first Hollow Knight, they are probably going to be filled with many interesting details that will expand upon the lore of the game. Even though it has been a while since fans last heard any news about the upcoming Hollow Knight: Silksong, there are already many details available about the areas where Hornet will be traveling. ![]()

The debate also reached Reddit on Sunday after Redditor GachiRainD posted an article to the r/KotakuInAction sub under the title “Little Devil Inside Devs Apologize For ‘Racist’ Enemy Design And Will Change Them because some twitter snowflakes started whining.” Redditor SufferableKant replied with the top comment, which read, “As someone who lives in Africa, boo hoo hoo. The game looks awesome, keep faithful to your vision, and keep the good work.” Everyone deserves respect, and that also includes you.” Fabian Roldan also commented, “I just can´t believe someone got offended, if you guys change it, you are going to contribute and perpetuate this stupidity of entitlement and political agendas, don´t change it and don´t apologize. ![]() Going the extra mile to change the game feels unnecessary. The post on Facebook quickly reached over 500 comments from users, with the top coming from Pietro Spina who said, “If you feel the need to apologize, it's ok. The devs said that they plan to remove the dreadlocks, change the lips and skin tone, as well as “tweak the dart blower so it looks less like a joint,” though they may completely redesign the enemies entirely to address concerns. However, these characters have not been revealed publicly elsewhere prior to the event.” In addition, no one (not just limited to team members) has ever commented or hinted on the character designs. Twitter is full of fragile, closeted racists.įollowing the backlash, the game’s developers, Neostream, addressed the criticisms and posted an apology on the Little Devil Inside Facebook page and stated, “Racist stereotypes of any kind were absolutely not intended, we were not aware of the stereotypical connotations and wish to apologize to anyone who may have been offended by the character design. ![]() Twitter is full of fragile, closeted racists.”ĭreads apparently mean they're black and since they're enemies it's racist. Others joined in the thread and questioned these claims, such as AfroChamp who replied, “Why is this bad?” to which dabbingyeeter responded, “Dreads apparently mean they're black and since they're enemies it's racist. The lips, the dreads-those are stereotypes.” There's a way of depicting indigenous tribes or tribal people without portraying a caricature. PikaChulita, another user who commented on Twitter, further explained the reasoning behind some of their issues and stated, “Well the problem is the dreads, the lips, & basically just this being a rendition of a black/African tribal character. but this shows you need some insight from indigenous and/or black people in the room. It's not up to me to decide the intentions here, it could just be a tone deaf character design. ![]() So- this game is developed by an indie team in Seoul called Neostream, it's not a Sony game. but this shows you need some insight from indigenous and/or black people in the room.” bruh.” He continued the thread and added, “It's not up to me to decide the intentions here, it could just be a tone deaf character design. On Friday, Twitter user and Twitch streamer LordBalvin was one of the first to comment on the design, and said, “I was so excited for Little Devil Inside. Over the weekend, however, Little Devil Inside drew the ire of some online after a user claimed a particular clip showing off one of the game’s enemies portrayed “racist stereotypes.”ĭespite positive reception for the game initially, several took to social media in the past few days and pointed out what they felt were racist or stereotypical caricatures of black, indigenous tribal people wearing loincloths with dreads, big red lips and blowguns that some said looked like joints.

![]() ![]() Six Feet Under was a gas, to be sure, with its acerbic depressives with hearts on their sleeves, lives full of sex, and death all around them but the sad perfection of its ending put a button on the searching need present in every one of its episodes. It reintroduces us to Anna Paquin, no longer a sweet brunette playing little sister to Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine in Fox’s X-Men films, she enters her television era as a blonde bombshell with surplus sass.įans coming into this world on the strength of its Alan Ball pedigree were surprised the man could have this much fun. It’s got personality to spare but doesn’t want to scare us away by being all of itself all at once. We meet True Blood as a humble series that only wants to entertain. Season 3 is not the last time the show keeps all its motors running smoothly, but it’s definitely the first time its check-engine light comes on, marking the end of a brief, zeitgeist-seizing run with a reasonable sense of quality control. There’s a lot of fun to be had, but a lot of characters start getting baffling arcs (Jason and Tara most notably), some of whom will never again get a decent thread. The man chews scenery even when speaking in a conversational tone, and he presents a splitting of the series from its camp-flavored horror-drama first two seasons and its horror-flavored fantasy-soap last several. But the thing it does that leaves a mark on its fanbase, and the universe of the show, is introduce vampire king Russell Edgington, played with impish delight by Denis O’Hare. This season introduces werewolves and werepanthers officially to the mix and fleshes out many storylines planted in season 2, including Eric’s intricate relationship with his sire Godric ( Allan Hyde). It gains a self-awareness that becomes a wearying part of its DNA going forward, and an almost, dare we say, network television-like approach to character (which is to say, broader and not always consistent, but always convenient). Here is where True Blood becomes quite obviously aware of its own reputation. It’s a mostly-fun season that largely isn’t insulting to anyone’s intelligence, and it’s the last time the show will create such a thing. We get a pre- Yellowstone Luke Grimes, pre- Lovecraft Country Jurnee Smollett, as well as the legendary Rutger Hauer. The writers come up with some good reasons to play to their series’ strengths (sex, violence, and metaphor-laden character drama) and a couple pretty good villains in the form of an overpowered Bill Compton (Stephen Moyer) and the mysterious vampire Warlow. Instead, it is the last creative height of the show’s run. Adding to that, Anna Paquin’s pregnancy requiring a reduced episode count, the sixth season could’ve easily played out like a rote shrug, satisfying nothing save various contractual obligations. ![]() That’s a lot of behind-the-scenes shuffling for a single season. But at some point during production Hudis also stepped down, and Brian Buckner (on the show since the beginning) was set as the show’s EP instead. So: Alan Ball leaves the show in Season 5 and Mark Hudis (an addition to the writing team for its fourth season) was installed as executive producer. RELATED: 'True Blood': Anna Paquin Is Optimistic About the Reboot, Even If She's Surprised it's Happening Let's sift through the red cups and confetti to determine which seasons kept the energy going, and which had us wishing we’d stayed in bed. Based on characters from the Southern Vampire Mysteries book series by author Charlaine Harris, its cast was stacked with talent: Stephen Moyer, Alexander Skarsgård, Rutina Wesley, Nelsan Ellis, Joe Manganiello, Ryan Kwanten, Lizzy Caplan, Denis O’Hare, Kristin Bauer van Straten, Deborah Ann Woll, and loads more.įor a couple of seasons, it was the best party on television. Paquin - weaponized Southern accent locked and loaded-had chemistry with nearly every scene partner the show gave her, and delivered even as the show started to crumble around her. It was led by Academy Award-winning actress Anna Paquin doing a career reboot, early-adopting television as the place for actors to be taken seriously. By the end of its first season, though, it was the highest-rated show on its network, thanks in part by Twilight entering the chat during that season’s run, partly because it was a revelation of talent. ![]() ![]() ![]() Without making a reduction, the amount of champagne and strawberry puree needed to get a good flavor would create a frosting too thin to be usable. ![]() Making the strawberry buttercream isn’t difficult, but it does require making a quick reduction to concentrate the strawberry and champagne flavors. ![]() It’s best to start with just a bit, and continuously add more as needed. I like to start adding my food coloring when I’m about halfway through combining the dry ingredients with the meringue. When coloring your macarons, just make sure to use a gel-based food coloring as water-based food colorings can ruin the texture of your batter. To get the beautiful dusty pink color for these macarons, I used red food coloring along with just a touch of blue. And, of course, be patient and make sure you’ve got the right consistency when whipping the egg whites and when incorporating the dry mixture into the meringue. But the main points are to always use a kitchen scale to weigh your ingredients and to prepare everything you’ll need before you get started (baking sheets, macaron template if using and a piping bag fitted with a round tip).

Still, Brown turns 27 years old in October, and Tatum does not turn 26 until March. Some of his production decline can be attributed to a laceration on his shooting hand that repeatedly reopened throughout the playoffs, but he also struggled to contain his ball-handling in the 2022 Finals loss. There is much debate about whether paying Brown in addition to Tatum is Boston's best path to a championship, especially in light of a new collective bargaining agreement that severely restricts high-priced teams from building out rosters.īrown struggled at times in the playoffs, particularly as a playmaker and especially in this year's conference finals, where he shot 16.3% on six 3-point attempts per game and totaled more turnovers (25) than assists (24).

Celtics president of basketball operations Brad Stevens confirmed as much in a news conference at season's end, telling reporters, "I'm not allowed to talk about the contract details, let alone the extension. ![]() Still, turning down $304 million guaranteed when the alternative in 2024 could be $100 million less is a no-brainer. Brown will earn $28.5 million before his extension begins in 2024.īrown was reluctant to discuss his future in Boston this past season, understandably upset after a season-ending loss to the Miami Heat and telling The Ringer's Logan Murdock earlier this year, "I don’t really know or want to answer that question because that type of stuff makes Celtics fans speculate and go crazy." He was the only member of the 2016 draft class to earn All-NBA honors with a year remaining on his current deal, which qualified him for the supermax extension this summer. The richest contract in league history is a matter of great timing on Brown's part. The Celtics have made the conference finals in five of Brown's seven seasons, including a trip to the NBA Finals in 2022, when they lost to the four-time champion Golden State Warriors in a six-game series. The 26-year-old averaged a career-high 26.6 points per game (49/34/77 shooting splits), 6.9 rebounds and 3.5 assists in 35.9 minutes a game this past season, helping Boston to Game 7 of the Eastern Conference finals. The contract includes a trade kicker that would increase Brown's salary even further if he is dealt at any point. There is no player option for the final year of Brown's deal in 2028-29. Two-time All-Star wing Jaylen Brown has agreed to a five-year, $304 million supermax contract extension with the Boston Celtics, making him the highest-paid player in NBA history, his agent, Jason Glushon of Glushon Sports Management, confirmed to Yahoo Sports. The superstar also had five rebounds, two assists and two steals.Jaylen Brown has made five trips to the Eastern Conference finals since the Boston Celtics selected him with the No. Jayson Tatum led the Celtics in scoring with 25 points as he hit nine of his 19 shots.

With the blowout win, the Celtics improved their NBA-best record to 21-5 while the Suns, who came into the contest tied atop the Western Conference, dropped to 16-9.
