Not great. I dropped out after a month. It was probably the hardest thing I’ve ever tried in my life. Like learning to sing if you don’t have musical talent. 12-14 hour days sitting on the computer, 6 days a week and literally crying myself to sleep some nights. But at least I tried. And it gets added to the list of things I can’t do. Such is life.

[@yyveltan3489]

I have to say i am really intrested in the Return to Booty Grotto lore. While some might think Team Cherry only took ideas from the game, I think it hides a greater secret. You already pointed a few ressemblances with Hollow Knight : the sawblades, the jellyfishes/bees that are normal/strange enemies here (the opposite of Hollow Knight). Let's now analyse each ending: -In the first one, Finn frees a being from its prison. Does that ring a bell? It should, because this is clearly a nod to The Knight awakening The Hollow Knight. It might also be related to Hornet because there's a girl but I'm not too sure about that one. -In the second ending, Finn becomes a king after finding crap. The Knight united the void and led it against The Radiance after assembling the 2 halves of the Kingsoul. Quite similar indeed. -Finally, Finn ascends in space and finds a giant light. And who else climbs higher and higher in hopes of reaching a "Light", all this happening within a dream? Back to reality, Finn leaves this lowly earth, like Mister Mushroom did. Now what does this all mean? Is this the ancient civilisation? The reason why there are jellyfishes in Hollow Knight? Who knows? I personally think this is a parallel universe, in which every event differs slightly. My theory might seem a bit weak but take a look at the items at 3:55 "References to other games" you say? What about the white figure in what looks like armor? Right after you said William had an unhealthy obsession with buzzsaws. It isn't uncommon for a developper to somehow add themselves in their games and the Pale King is quite sneaky. So tell me, if you were in great danger and able to create worlds, wouldn't it be a nice idea to hide somewhere in the past, in another universe, as a mere toy? I can only hope Team Cherry's next project will expand on this incredible multiverse, maybe in the Hornet DLC? I will be waiting. nice video btw

Ah yes I see you are a man of culture
