Welcome to the Silksong Circus
I mean this with all the affection in the world—what’s a gaming community without a little madness? Enter the Silksong fanbase, a group so entrenched in anticipation that they’ve become the braised lump at the bottom of the pot. You know what I mean? Stewing in their own juices for so long, they’ve evaporated to something… well, shiny.
The Long Wait for Silksong
For those who may have missed it, the saga of Silksong began back in 2019, a mere glimmer in the vast universe of gaming. Fast forward to 2022 when it hurled itself back into the spotlight, bursting onto the scene with promises of releases within the next “12 months.” And yet, here we are. Still waiting. It’s a comedy of errors, or perhaps an absurdity best reserved for a Shakespearean play.
Chocolate Cake Conspiracies
Recently, the r/silksong subreddit has taken a delightful dive into chaos due to a developer’s X account tweaking their profile picture to that of a chocolate cake. Yes, you read that right. With a promise that “something big is coming,” the community erupted like a shaken soda bottle. A reverse image search even linked it to a Brooklyn blackout cake recipe, cleverly dated for April 2, 2024—the same day scheduled for a significant Nintendo direct. Are we chalking this up to coincidence or clever marketing? Either way, there’s no denying that the Silksong fanbase is cooking up some delectable theories.
