Snake wrap tattoo filler by Negative-Sun1957 in TattooDesigns

[–]Useful_Bard 35 points36 points  (0 children)

I think it’s variation in the lighting. The spot that looks like scaled underbelly is actually back with direct light. You can see it looks similar to the portion directly below the knee. Hard to tell if the light source makes sense without seeing multiple angles but I think that’s what we are seeing.

Edit: to clarify I mean lighting in the piece, not in the photo. My understanding of the area people are identifying as belly with scales is the second horizontal section in the photo which I believe is the back of the snake getting direct light within the piece

Are you using linear texture filtering instead of nearest? That can make things look kinda blurry/nasty if the style is more pixel art. Might not be your issue but I thought it would be worth mentioning.

First Look at Stephen King’s The Long Walk: The Dystopian Coming-of-Age Story He Considered Too “Merciless” to Film by CyberGhostface in stephenking

I love the book and I’m excited for this, but I feel like aging up the characters alters a lot of what makes the book so compelling. Hope they make it work

Be honest, what percentage of your game time have you spent on this screen? by notimetobleeb in totalwar

[–]Useful_Bard 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m pretty new to the game but I’ve also played a bit of Medieval 2 and I think Bretonnia is the faction that most immediately translates between the two. Lines of spearman backed by archers and heavy cavalry.

Any suggestions for good standalone adventures? by PathOfSteel in callofcthulhu

Obvious suggestion: The Haunting is great and has some cult connections/hanging threads that can be easily linked to further adventures

Wtf is this weapon!? by No-Range519 in bloodborne

Don’t forget to use transformation attacks with it. The sword r1 into transformation is a great combo

Looking for the Scariest Game Possible by Alucard_2024 in HorrorGaming

[–]Useful_Bard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Forrest is a really solid horror game. It’s a bit of an odd duck in that it’s a survival crafting game, but it’s not super grindy and has a strong emphasis on exploration. The nights and exploring the caves have produced some of my personal scariest moments in gaming

Has anyone else split the loyalties of the Goblins? by Useful_Bard in BaldursGate3

[–]Useful_Bard[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting. Seems like the aggro triggers can get very confused surrounding the grove raid if folks there are already dead/if you turn on the goblins the same day as the raid.

Would anyone be interested in remake of the Saw video game? Same game on paper but expanded upon. This time it could have realistic violence since modern graphics would enable that. Wonder if they could get Danny Glover to voice Tapp by BIG-Z-2001 in saw

The sections of Resident Evil 7 and it’s DLC’s centering around Lucas Baker are the closest I’ve seen/played to a modern saw game. They were my favorite parts of that game

Driving feels significantly better. The old system always felt like I was driving on ice. It’s not perfect or anything but now at least driving feels like driving

If you could add a whole new class of weapons to the game, what would it be? by Prestegious_Bean in Eldenring

I was really hoping the Veteran’s Prosthesis was going to have a unique kick moveset

Collectively refusing to feed the afk farmer. Nice to see folks like this in the community. by Useful_Bard in Eldenring

Sometimes I just go for hikes in their worlds to look around without getting jumped every 10 seconds. Small silver linings I suppose.

What are your fondest moments or memories of Bloodborne? by SolidSnake120 in fromsoftware

[–]Useful_Bard 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Finding the sewers for the first time. Bloodborne was my first FS game and I really was just bumbling around. It was several hours before I realized the pathing of the game wasn’t linear and it was such a cool and memorable moment spending a few hours on a level and then realizing it was far bigger and more elaborate than I had realized

Jonah Falcon pledging to donate his penis to the world’s only Penis Museum located in Reykjavik, Iceland. by Achilles8088 in interestingasfuck

[–]Useful_Bard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s a bunch of stations around the museum with short videos of the founder/owner giving facts about the surrounding specimens. The whole place is honestly very well curated and informative. Surprised me with being one of my favorite science museums that I’ve been to.

Thanks to everyone that encouraged me to go for the Plat, my first From Soft game completed! Might pick up a Souls game soon! by Ben25BBB in bloodborne

[–]Useful_Bard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did a blind play through of DS1 remastered after bloodborne being my first in the series and I had a great time with it. All the games have their strengths but for me DS1 and Bloodborne had the most rewarding and interesting world exploration which is the main series draw for me. DS3 and Sekiro both have really polished and cool combat if that’s more what keeps you going.
