  • Used to be Decent

    Kirk and Maddy are great, but Jason is painful to listen to. His knack for constantly interrupting, correcting, and arguing is just too much, I can’t listen to this anymore. He’s a negative force in what should be a positive space. Kinda wish Kirk and Maddy would do their own thing

  • Bing!

    What tier can I pay for to have Kirk bing in when I make mistakes, and need correction, throughout daily life?

    Seriously though, keep up the great work. Triple Click is something I look forward to every week.

  • incorrect hollow knight information.

    As someone who has beaten pantheon 5, (the hardest challenge in hollow knight) some of the bosses in silksong are significantly harder than the hardest bosses in hollow knight. Now, this might be my absurd number of hours on hollow knight talking, but I feel like bosses like trobbio or karmelita are harder than pure vessel or nightmare king grimm. Though I will say nothing has come close to the difficulty of absolute radiance thus far.

It typically happens when the progression system bottoms out long before the end of the game, and the story isn't strong enough to keep me engaged.
