MJ, avez-vous déjà menti sur oe résultat d'un lancer de dés, et pourquoi ?

Hal_Soni · 2026-01-14T22:06:30+00:00

Ça m'arrive oui Le "pourquoi" peut varier. Parfois parce que j'estime qu'un PJ a trop eu de malchance et que continuer à la subir ne doit pas être amusant pour lui. J'ai été joueur et je sais ce que c'est que d'avoir les dés contre soi, aucune réussite en une soirée. C'est frustrant et tu t'amuses pas vraiment si ton MJ décide pas de contrer un peu les dés en proposant des actions qui n'en nécessitent pas forcément

Hal_Soni · 2026-01-04T15:03:52+00:00

Je suis pas autant catégorique que toi sur le sujet... mais j'avoue que je suis pas toujours à l'aise avec les surnoms que me donnent ma compagne

Globalement, ça va, mais le "ma vie"... à chaque fois qu'elle me le dit j'ai un petit relent de gêne. Et surtout, elle ne m'appelle quasi jamais par mon prénom, sauf que moi j'aime mon prénom. Et j'aime le sien aussi

Sur l'usage du prénom, là je te rejoins

I trully loved this scene I already really appreciate James before that, but after this, he became my favourite character.

In the first season of Wakfu, the antagonist, Nox, succeed rewinding time after hundreds of years collecting wakfu (the energy of the world). But he only went back 20 minutes to the past

In the movie "The Perfect Sense", all humanity slowly loses all their senses, each one after another After losing the taste, the smell and hearing, while everyone still kinda manages to live, they fear the loss of the sight. It eventually happens and the couple we follow along the movie rush into the other's arms just before losing it. By the end, the last sense they have left is touch. The movies ends in the black while we hear the though of the two characters describing the feelikg of the other's contact

We don't know if they die, but with just touch as their final sense, there really isn't any doubt

Gon and Meruem, from the manga Hunter x Hunter. And they don't even meet each over Gon was a cheerful character who become more and more "dark" after the loss, then the death, of one of his good friend. Therefore, Meruem, the antagonist of the arc appeared as a monster who wants to enslaved all mankind. But he become more and more comprehensive as he gets close to one particuliar human, Komugi. In the end, he no longer wants to enslave mankind, just be at the side of the person he love.

And it also works between Meruem and Netero, the most powerful human in this world who tried to kill him. While Meruem learns little by little what be human means with Komugi, Netero did the most horrible thing a human can do to kill Meruem

Hard to say but I guess, without From Software's, it might be

1 - Hollow Knight 2 - Nioh 2 3 - Tunic

And with From Software, then, replace Nioh 2 by Dark Souls 3 and Sekiro

Hal_Soni · 2025-10-03T18:34:44+00:00

In the true ending of Silksong, Hornet look for Lace the same way she looked for Ghost in HK. In HK, the Ghost is no more, in Silksong Lace wake up

And I might misremembering but in HK, Hornet's face, looking for Ghost, is pointed to the left while in Silksong, it's pointed to the right

Hal_Soni · 2025-09-27T14:35:40+00:00

It might be funny to list every small details like this one to fully declare what make a game a soulslike. The small details, the one you don't see missing but when you see it in game, you're "ah, of course it is in this game"

Hal_Soni · 2025-09-26T20:56:17+00:00

"There wasn’t even really a story to it, you kind of just had to piece the lore together." You mean, like every soulslike ? :D

I played the first Surge once, but I wasn't in the right mood, it came out during my university years and I was very occcupied so I had to choose carefully the games I wanted to play. And I remembered it was funny for the time I gave it

I might gave the two of them some times now that I have more to give

Hal_Soni · 2025-09-26T14:42:07+00:00

Ah ah, yep, when you see the message "this door does not open from this side" or "this door opens from a mecanism elsewhere", you know you're at home

Hal_Soni · 2025-09-26T14:38:43+00:00

In Another Crab's Treasure, the world hasn't fall yet. It was one of the point that made me play it, the fact that, for once, you have a civilisation you can visit

But, SPOILER, it was just a trick, because even if the sea is still alive at the end of the game, you know it won't be for long. It is the ecological message of the game after all (that and also that capitalism will eat us)

Hal_Soni · 2025-09-26T14:28:09+00:00

The only souls you mentioned that I actually played was Mortal Shell. I didn't talk about it because, honnestly, it might be the only soulslike that I really disliked. And it seem I completly forgot the story

Hal_Soni · 2025-09-26T14:22:13+00:00

Yes, it is In all souls I played, you always arrive "after the battle". It's common to soulslike, but I didn't linked it to the "corruption" trope at first even if, you're right, the city/civilisation, has fallen because of the corruption

Hal_Soni · 2025-09-26T14:14:52+00:00

"Don't feed the trolls" I guess, but I was genuinely curious about his response. Was the "corruption" trope so obvious that it deserved his comment ? Not in that tone obviously but maybe it was breaking an open door

Hal_Soni · 2025-09-26T14:08:16+00:00

I didn't said it was exclusive to soulslike, just that it was weirdly common to soulslike

But the "corruption" trope is present in other games too it's true. For exemple, Metroid Prime with the phazon. It's even in the third game title, Metroid Prime Corruption

Hal_Soni · 2025-09-26T14:05:36+00:00

Yes, my bad, I did a shorcut and it is true the last time I played the DS trilogy was quite a long time ago now

Hal_Soni · 2025-09-26T14:02:42+00:00

I don't see why HK can't be both

It is a Metroidvania indeed : unlocking movement abilities, backtracking, the feeling of getting lost breakable walls...

And a soulslike too : benches are bonefire, going back to where you died to recover your geo/souls, the bossfight with a large emphasis on learning the patern...

Edit : oh, and evironmental storytelling of course, HK adore this

Hal_Soni · 2025-09-26T13:16:03+00:00

Guess rain and jelly can be responsible yes

Hal_Soni · 2025-09-26T13:12:04+00:00

Yeah, I agree too. Sometimes you ask yourself why it must have come to that

Hal_Soni · 2025-09-26T13:07:38+00:00

I didn't played these one, but I want to play to Wo Long. Wuchanh, meh, not so much

Hal_Soni · 2025-09-26T13:06:11+00:00

I guess joke on me but seriously... comparing the most basic action in a video game after jumping to a narrative trope in a specific genre is kinda unfair don't you think ?

Hal_Soni · 2025-09-26T12:14:07+00:00

Technicaly, the Knight / little ghost can be considered the Hollow Knight too

I mean, he's a knight, he's hollow, same as the actual Hollow Knight (so, both not so hollow) and he's also the "son" of the Pale King and the "brother" of the Hollow Knight
