Turns out I enjoy the game more now that I've modded all the things about the game that make it take forever. I liked it before but 96 hours in and still in the last half of act 2...man...I'm ready to just do the same shit fewer times. I think I'm fine acknowledging that this game has beaten me.
I think I've come to the conclusion that Silksong doesn't actually have an ending and it's just a game that you play forever to make you realize how bad you are at video games.
