Imagine NOT liking evil fictional women. Couldn’t be me.

Image of the true form of Nashandra, Queen of Drangleic; who is a primary antagonist and final boss in Dark Souls II / Dark Souls 2

Nashandra’s true form is that of a grim reaper-like figure. She is skeleton who wears a dress made up of a bunch of other skeletons, she has long bony tendrils coming out of the back of her head like hair, and she wields a massive scythe.

“When the red moon hangs low, the line between man and beast is blurred. And when the Great Ones descend, a womb will be blessed with child"

One of the games biggest themes is about loss of control:

- Becoming a beast and no longer having control over yourself
- The unfortunate people being experimented on in the research hall and other areas and being turned into beings like the celestial emissary or living failures and more
- A Great One “blessing” someone’s womb with their child
- The Hunt and different nightmares people are stuck and tormented in.

I could go on and on.

“Does anyone else ever feel like the music in Dark Souls 3 is more discernibly synthesized instead of orchestra compared to DS1 and DS2? This doesn’t apply to all its songs of course, but when you can hear it, oh boy can you hear it. Vordt’s theme is probably the biggest offender, cuz that brass is just really 😬
Sucks too because Vordt’s theme is actually great, it just really needed the full orchestral treatment to truly shine.”

The Covetous Demon from Dark Souls 2 is oddly cute looking. It’s got that endearing ugly-cute quality to its design. Not to mention the way it flops and rolls around in its animations.

Concept art of the Covetous Demon from Dark Souls 2. His design looks like some kind of fusion between a naked mole rat and Jabba the Hutt.

Oh yeah lmao, I thought you meant like newer information. Part of chapter 5 really was just this Ramb meme wasn’t it?

Husk Pixels@huskpixelmancer· Jul 2

I was wondering when other people would point this out.

Sounding like Necron/The Darkness of Eternity

Husk Pixels@huskpixelmancer· Jun 23

Oh definitely lol. I feel like part of it is that they are trying to channel somewhat similar, but still distinct vibes. Also like, omg, I genuinely will spend a good while gazing out at some of the levels and their skyboxes. Genuinely gorgeous.

“I love how insane the plan to get pigment for the Painter’s painting is.

1. Get the Dark Soul to use as pigment.
2. Kill everyone to take their piece of the Dark Soul.
3. Consume the blood of those who have the Dark Soul because it’s too dry to use as pigment.
4. Wait till the end of existence so that someone can kill you and take your massive Dark Soul as pigment for the painting.
5. Profit”

I’m gonna be so real, I thought your friend was referring to this movie series 😭 (Banger and funny post btw, mechsploitation is cool!)

Husk Pixels@huskpixelmancer· Jun 9

Oh fuck, they are gonna sanitize the Dead Hands even more aren’t they? Not to mention the Bottom of the Well and the Shadow Temple.

“It's not really my thing either for the most part, but some VR games are just so cool to me that I have to try them out.
I feel like if they ever did do something like that, doing some kind of reimagining of King's Field 1 (Japan) would be a great way to try out the concept of a VR KF game, given it's smaller scope as a game.
So they could really focus on how player and enemy combat would feel.”

“Dark Souls was originally going to be a Demon’s Souls sequel, but I think they were both far better off that Dark Souls went on to only be a spiritual successor.

In any case I do think the Dark Souls series has the interesting opportunity among Fromsoft’s other Soulsborne games to be able to have more direct conversations with eachother for better and for worse.”

That red Oni guy from the God of War Laufey reveal can get it. Also, HANDS OFF LADY, HE’S MINE!

“The Pursuer is such a tense early game fight, especially when paired with the more lowkey but tense music for the fight.

Also I just love how over the top they are:

Hulking ghostly knights that either appear from the shadows or get dropped down by birds, who levitate off the ground, wielding giant ass swords, as well as a bunch of extra weaponry on their backs that go unused.”

“I like the chaos of the Skeleton Lords fight and the music (oh my god the music is great), but I do wish it had a bit more going on. Neat setpiece at the very least. Executioner’s Chariot is pretty underrated tbh. The mad rush to kill the skeletons and drop the gate and then the frantic and claustrophobic fight against the horse itself. The music is also pretty damn underrated as well.”

Okay, so apparently he’s just always had the deformed tentacled lower half, it’s hard to see in the intro but they are there as well too. It cannot be overstated how much the disparity aspect of the First Flame screwed him over.

Husk Pixels@huskpixelmancer· May 8

Aldia did not drop some some of the sickest dialogue in gaming about the broken and illusory state of the world that he and everyone else is trapped in and then insistently ask you about why you are doing what you are doing and encouraging you to think for yourself and choose a path for yourself because it’s what YOU wanted to do and not because someone else told you to, only for some schmuck to say “Duuur, these games have no storyyyy”

Husk Pixels@huskpixelmancer· May 8

100%, it’s a big part of why their stories are so engaging, since if you want to get a better understanding of the story, then the game asks you to take the initiative and basically become a detective, scholar, archaeologist, etc-

"When Hidetaka Miyazaki was a child, he was a keen reader, though not a talented one. Often he'd reach passages of text he couldn't understand, and so would allow his imagination to fill in the blanks, using the accompanying illustrations. In this way, he felt he was co-writing the fiction alongside its original author. The thrill of this process never left him - and it is very much there in his arcane and fascinating video games, the latest of which, Bloodborne, has just been released to wild acclaim."

I love just thinking about scenes and quotes from media and then probably also saying them out loud. One that lives in my head rent free is one from the Demon Lord from the Live A Live remake.

“The hunter Hasshe, and Uranus the priest.
With righteous fervor they come, confident-
That all can be reclaimed. Redeemed. Absolved.
In death you'll understand my true design!”

I’ve never really thought Fox McCloud was hot before, but now? Yeah I get it

“Dont’t cry lil’ Starfox fan uncle Nintendo has enough remakes and reimaginings of Starfox 1 to feed you your entire life”

Earlier today I remembered Happy Wars was a game that existed, and then I got really sad because it was a lot of fun to play but the servers for it went down yeaaaars ago

Husk Pixels@huskpixelmancer· Apr 12

Say what you want about the Prowling Magus and Congregation fight, but the Prowling Magus’ design looks sick as hell.
