Y’all ever think about the fact that Lil Nas X has changed the game so much and made so many white cishet ppl angry that he’s gonna go down in history with queer icons like Freddie Mercury and we’re so lucky to be experiencing the part of cultural history that he’s shaping cus I think about it all the time

Season 7
Featured on: SiIvaGunner's Highest Quality Rips: Volume Ruby
One Fateful Knight (Beta Mix) - Shovel Knight
Ripped by Blookerstein
Yeah, doing something a bit different for today - a double feature of two rips. The reason is pretty simple - INDUSTRY KNIGHT didn't feature any visuals, wheras INDUSTRY KNIGHT (Beta Mix) adds visual and slight audio edits to build further on the joke. You can't have one without the other, so I decided to just feature both. Also worth noting - the "Secret SiIva" series of albums aren't official SiIvaGunner album releases, as its an event organized between the team's internal staff rather than a publicized part of the channel.
Anyway - April Fools 2023 was, as I've covered before, an event entirely based around adding to, referencing or remixing previously made rips, as a celebration of the channel's entire history. This celebration included rips already made earlier in the season, and such was the case with INDUSTRY KNIGHT - a rip covering the entirety of Lil Nas X's Industry Baby in the style of Shovel Knight. Beyond being an excellent mashup and melodyswap in its own right, this is one of those rips that goes above and beyond to cover the ENTIRE journey of Shovel Knight, much like Story of Undertale did for Undertale. The excellent use of sound effects tying the different Shovel Knight level themes together ties it all together, and makes it a wonderfully varied listen. That, however, is not where the story ends.
INDUSTRY KNIGHT (Beta Mix) takes BobTheTacocat's already above-and-beyond arrangement, and leads the joke to its natural conclusion. See, Industry Baby was, and to some degree still is, often used in "fandom Slander" videos - those types of shitpost compilations that make fun of fanbases of various vaguely-related topics in a lighthearted way to various reaction gifs? What we have here is exactly one of those - a Slander video on Indie Gaming as a whole, set to an indie-game rendition of a song heavily associated with the meme. The end result is, as commenters have pointed out, an absolute loveletter to indie games as a whole, and the ridiculous parts of the games we love. No game is belittled, no fanbase is looked down upon - its nothing but pure, good fun set to an amazing tune.
As pointed out to me by a commenter, on top of everything, INDUSTRY KNIGHT (Beta Mix) even subtly remixes the rip its building upon to sound more like the slander videos its paying tribute to!! My hat goes off to Blookerstein in putting these silly shitpost GIFs all together - with the sheer variety of games on display, I was convinced this would've been a collaborative effort, yet everything in these two rips appears to be by just these two people!
Good shit, you two! Good, good shit.
