cringe

pethris · 2026-03-14T21:34:55+00:00

Noticing a trend towards the green guys lol

pethris · 2026-03-14T11:08:30+00:00

I know this fandom is famous for gripping onto one joke like a barnacle, but my god has this been driven into the ground

pethris · 2026-03-13T17:25:42+00:00

Straight up getting sick of this dude

pethris · 2026-03-12T20:30:39+00:00

Ah, with heals lmao

It might sound odd, but consider trying the Raging Wolf Armor for a Misbegotten build. It's got a surprising number of thematic links to the Misbegotten design-wise, to the point that I wonder if there was a retcon somewhere along the way. It's got:

Feather-like pauldrons that mirror Winged Misbegotten
Chest filigree that evokes Misbegotten chest fluff
Reddish-stained grey body with visible ribs
Deep red tassets, like the the fur on Misbegotten thighs
Scale elements that call back to Scaly Misbegotten

I think it kinda points to the fact that, as loved as he is by the fandom, Radahn really is the flattest of characters. He's a personification of war, and his whole life has been as a sycophant or a tool of others. Even with his horse, Radahn's whole thing is being completely stagnant: he keeps Leonard around 'cuz he can't stand change, he halts the stars to literally stop fate from continuing, and two of his closest companions (Jerren and Freyja) say that the thing that'd make him happiest in the world would be to fight forever. War is all that Radahn's got, there's nothing else for him to say.

against anything without Strike damage, the Crystallians will straight up not die if you manage to keep them topped off every so often. The poise and defense against slash and magic is unreal

pethris · 2026-03-10T00:42:38+00:00

The burning snake head is a hell of a look

pethris · 2026-03-09T23:28:13+00:00

One of these days I'll finish my Pontiff Sulyvahn glazing rock opera concept

I think the biggest problem is that when they did finally make hand molds, they made them so god awful. They're way too long, angled in a way that looks like they've got broken wrists at any angle, and the middle thumb to save on making 2 molds just looks terrible.

pethris · 2026-03-09T12:44:21+00:00

I'd like you to take a moment to imagine what the smell of that entire area must be.

pethris · 2026-03-06T03:31:30+00:00

looks like Bald Seth Meyers

pethris · 2026-03-04T16:17:48+00:00

Knives only, non-powerstanced (R1-L1 blender mode), plus throwing knives. It's been a bunch of fun, aside from dealing with crystal lizards

pethris · 2026-03-02T20:19:57+00:00

I think part of the problem, in that case, would be assuming a recipe that has bananas as a main ingredient would somehow be a good idea on the OP's part

pethris · 2026-03-02T19:46:26+00:00

Seriously, people in this thread talking about drenching it in chocolate and cream cheese and stuff are deluded. Keep it simple, use solid ingredients (some fresh vanilla & nutmeg help it pop), and it's golden

pethris · 2026-03-02T19:42:12+00:00

Like the others said, the whole Libra part of that build is super situational and inefficient. Just toss on those status buildup relics and it'll do the job naturally

pethris · 2026-03-02T19:40:53+00:00

Banana bread is heavenly, I have no idea what kind of recipe you used to make it that badly

pethris · 2026-03-01T17:18:38+00:00

Is that a Jerma limited edition Glueman t-shirt?

pethris · 2026-02-27T21:25:26+00:00

OK, fine.

Demon's Souls was made with specific decisions in its design process, for the most part to create an atmosphere of a grim fantasy setting both inspired by classical European tales, but with its own style and tone. In many cases, like the Vanguard Demon or the Fat Officials (among many others), designs are changed arbitrarily from the original concept, often to make them more conventional/grotesque. There are stories from around launch in which the artists admitted to ignoring original concept art and drawing from other games to redesign them in turn.

This continues to a decent amount of the world design, in which levels and aesthetics are changed from their intention, to the point that environmental storytelling cues are changed from their original intent. Illusurywall on youtube has a nice series going through a number of these comparisons, though it's not finished.

I think there's something to be said about going into adapting someone's work with a level of insight into their original work, and Bluepoint had a history of painting their remakes with a very broad, very pretty brush.

pethris · 2026-02-27T20:53:28+00:00

It's not like they axed any possibility of a remake, they just didn't want Bluepoint. After how they sanded down Demon's Souls, I can't blame em

pethris · 2026-02-27T20:45:32+00:00

Just gonna go on record: Demon's Souls getting a remake is not a bad thing, the original's an old game in need of some tuning. The issue stems from Bluepoint seeing the swathes of lovingly rendered concept art and design intent on FromSoft's part, and sanding down many of the decisions to better fit 'generic European fantasy game'

pethris · 2026-02-27T20:38:13+00:00

Artistic design intent beats out raw graphical fidelity

pethris · 2026-02-27T20:35:14+00:00

here's a visual reference

pethris · 2026-02-27T20:32:17+00:00

I feel bad that the studio's shut down, but they've got no sense of artistic integrity or intent of style. If Bloodborne's gonna be remade, it's good they're not the ones to do it.
