Well the weather outside is frightful, but these trailers are so delightful. Actually, no: they're mostly gruesome grimdark gore-fests served up by Keighley, the preview demon.

EXP Podcast #783: Hallow Knight: Silksong Debrief
The Experience Points Podcast

I'd like to say that by the time you listen to this we'll likely have seen credits, but let's be honest: we'll be in the middle of a dastardly run-back to a boss that has a third form we have yet to see. What can you do though? That's just a bug's life.
