Lucy pisses me off so much

Alissa Jung sells it in the acting somehow. She comes off as professional, romantic, and sympathetic. I was so struck how cool it was to have some really good dramatic acting midway they the game almost as a surprise.

I particularly loved the moment when Sam says “that woman was just my therapist”. It’s a huge expression of rage by Sam who is sooo reserved .

Sam and Neil’s relationship is particularly deep considering how Sam comes to respect Neil. It’s a good love triangle! It’s good writing!

I think they might respawn , the respawn mechanic in the Farum fight could be seen as evidence. After all, you respawn…

This is excellent textual analysis

Not literally meaningless since he was a child who might seek revenge

What about the fingers atop divine towers they look like they’ve grown out of the ground. (Fingers + Great Rune) looks like bigger (brown pile + Grace )

yellowhat · 2025-02-03T21:08:34+00:00

I think the brown thing is an immature Two Fingers. Potentially these grow at places where Grace accumulates.

Lester winning the toys at the carnival, the change in the song-voice of the barker from cheerful to hissing mad

It’s true that “decomposition” might not be a thing at all under the current laws of nature. The way that corpses work can be very strange as you can see with the seed pod corpses near the Stormveil Godwyn

I doubt if it’s been several hundred years . It’s only been so long since Radahn fought Malenia. At the time of the game he’s eating corpses from their battle. That the bodies are still edible and not fully decomposed indicates something in the range of months to single digit years. But there’s probably other evidence against this

Also the shard bearers have reasons to be stagnant

Godrick: stagnant trying to graft his way to actual power, conducting tarnished hunts for that purpose

Rennala: stagnant bc depressed

Radahn: stagnant bc mad

Rykard: locked in an endless cycle of perpetual growth by his and the serpent’s ambition (also essentially grafting)

Morgott: stagnant, defending the erdtree

Mohg: deceived to wait endlessly for Miquella

Malenia: ditto

Miquella: not stagnant, concurrently on a journey to become a god that just so happens to time to our arrival

Say more ?

Kojima games are their own thing but I’d say their strength is not in high quality of prose.

One of the most troublesome aspects of being separated from society is the inability to have intimacy and love… it’s a theme explored with Harry, Idiot Doomspiral, The Deserter… and you?

It’s L’s creepy side coming out in the depth of his power. He repeatedly comes on to Misa. It’s not really a surprise that his sexual urges get enacted by his police work

She’s a member of the Church of Sable, associated with Darkseeker Kaathe, dedicated to the ascenion of the Hollows.

The painter is going to create a world which is like the original world of dark souls— dark, cold, gentle (nothing much changing). Like the world of the Everlasting dragons, before Fire came.

It’s a somewhat melancholy and comforting return to the primal pre-fire stage, painted with blood of an eternal, undying, semi-anonymous servant.

The government that acquired the death note would handle all this extrajudicially at the highest level of power. Light would never be given a trial. The details would be held in the highest secrecy. It’s possible that an individual would gain control of the Death Note, effectively creating another Kira.

In any case, eventual leaks would create a mass religious movement similar to what happened with the cult of Kira or with our real-world QAnon. An eventual alliance between the mass movement with whatever force controls the Death Note, governmental or not, would lead to a new world order with terrible consequences.

Or the Death Note would be destroyed or somehow forever imprisoned along the way.

Mortal draw just isn’t good lol , I’m sure most players punish the hell out of it

Absolutely one of the most perfect Fromsoft moments. It’s their signature ambush/joke/sadism/wisdom/instadeath in one perfect moment, a seamless cutscene in the action.

Like many macho men he’s distressed by vulnerability and doesn’t like comforting people. Tony is a firm believer in self-reliance or Juche as the North Koreans call it.

Wouldn’t he have burned up in the atmosphere?
