why is nobody telling me nikocado had a massive glow up yesterday???

that doesn't look like a real glow up
he looks sickly, like yeah he lost weight but you have to think of how quickly that weight was lost and how very fast weight loss is not recommended as it can really damage you
losing weight and becoming skinny does not equal good health or even better health, you can go from one eating disorder to another very quickly
his hair is shaved and that could be because whatever caused him to drop the weight could've made his hair start to thin or fall out uwu

It was lost in 2 years, it seems like a reasonable timeframe

he got even weirder, why is he acting like a super villain. sinister vibes.

he was always like that, his first videos had that "i'm goinna do something evil" vibe to it, and he appears on the internet right after he turns 18 and his mom can't force him to be vegan anymore.

as if this entire arc were some dastardly plan he'd been having intrusive thoughts about his whole life, similar to chris chan's whole life being defined by meeting Carl.

hold up.

is demon slaying considered a freelance job in demon's souls?

yes, just like dragonslaying. once the dragons were almost extinct dragonslayers were almost out of a job, so they switched to demonslaying. thus why that one 'arch demon' is ... y'know. not really a demon, as if they were stretching things to make this work, socially?

it's strongly implied the only reason anyone killed either was for the use of soul arts.

you mean the one with comically large club wielding knight as her buddy in a pit full of babies? that's where my thoughts that it's a freelance job came in.

so this also means that all my works are just freelancing? that must've been one hell of a job. I'm not sure if it's as crazy as artefact hunting in stalker where a slightly irradiated rock can yield thousands.

they were basically seal clubbers, yeah. but those two were the first knights used in soul arts, and the first soul arts didn't use the whole soul. they'd just lobotomize the part that made them 'strong' and used that. empty vessels like the player character or other hollows are an invention from thousands of years after the fact, as soul arts gradually developed to destroy everyone's concept of reality and history itself. everything was just a hollow shell, going through the motions of currency soul acquisition.

the choice at yggdrasil has meaning for demon souls. all the souls afterwards are just going through that motion.

so you're less a freelancer and more a modern dreg that finds themselves in the position the 'great heroes' did. who were also just disposable assets like you at the end of the day.

I can't really shake the feeling that souls are popular because they're calling the player a worthless peice of ♥♥♥♥ and people have been trained to celebrate that about themselves. To perceive it as a release to plop out of god's ass as a swirly head.

I can't help but feel that Elden Ring is intrinsically tainted with the series' own self-hatred.

yeah no I'm not getting into the lore that much. the story alone makes more sense that these people are freelancers or adventurers that are a bit stubborn they die and trapped in nexus until something interesting happen

but at least i got myself a blueblood sword. my luck is high but my faith low. idk if i should farm further when luck alone is enough to grill everyone

[♥Peachboy♥]

Is the RE4 remake good? Been replaying the original. I’m probably gonna need to get a guide at this one part though, that I got stuck at on my last playthrough.

the maiden lays it out pretty clearly at the start.

maybe someone picked up the controller and chatted up the npcs while you were getting a snack.

while assaulting a castle as a foot soldier in the demon wars, also called the soul wars or the soul art wars before the various kingdoms declared those terms as well as the soul arts heretical (while sipping that sweet heresy themselves, thus the wars,) and statistically a fat demon sat on you and you died. maybe he hit you with his axe instead.

then several thousand years later you awaken in the nexus as a hollow. your soul no doubt having been scrubbed of everything besides your death through repeated usage. a certain percentage of all overused souls end up like this, but the maiden suggests you were 'chosen.' although she tries to pretend you were chosen by chance, without necessarily saying that you were or weren't.

the devil in the nexus is likely the one responsible for your existence, as they want to restart history so that they can harvest all those souls again. the maiden confesses as much if you kill her slowly for the devil. the rest of the characters reveal they're being hypnotized if you kill them as well.

ds2 lays out that the lands betwixt are just memories of what once was, so it's plausible that elden ring is a mixed up memory of the soul wars, or that people dumped into areas that resembled the soul wars decided for their own reasons to recreate them. perhaps it's as simple as the existence of power itself driving conflict, as the devil suggests (somewhat self-servingly.)

and here my dumbass thought that demon's souls didn't get this complicated because it's the first of its kind. i legit though how it was narrated is enough for me to tell that this game has a story of killing them demons and why i was there

no john, you are the demons.

[sleeps]

but seriously. do people think that dark souls has no story? i legit did. but when playing demon's souls, it has story, or rather has a reason why I'm there and why i have to do this

i wonder if this is also why i give up on everyone's favorite game, hollow knight. I'm not necessarily a story guy but i tend to crave for presentations and somehow, the game failed to meet my expectations. I'm not sitting here reading something so vague. oddly enough, i wonder why i want to play sekiro for its coolness and that it has a story rather than anything that makes it a "souls" game.

idk if this counts as a rant so to balance it out, my brother bought a chair. it smells like pizza, the one that came out of the oven. it's near 3am and I'm hungry.

it's accused of being derivative of demon souls while also basically contradicting all of its lore. this makes the ds2 lands betwixt firekeepers come off as retcon maidens, thus why they're so old. ds1's story is so self-contained, and kind of arbitrary imo, that it can have its lore and ignore it too.

fromsoft was sick of souls before they made 3, and they went into 2 knowing they didn't want to keep making these. sekiro was their one and only chance to break from what was essentially monotonous, meaningless, devil-driven slave labor. and they chose to back kojima in the creative wars. I wouldn't expect them to do anything meaningful until the powers that be decide whether the kojima wars are real or just marketing phantoms. crushing people's souls for fat grist.

lots of pizzas smell like ass, they just don't necessarily taste like it all the time. like portnoy literally isolated the ass semll chemical and put it on his pizza, and talked about how that's what he was doing on his podcast. because he wants attention, and the phantom validation it entails, similar to nikocado. that's not the same as just using a lot of old pepperoni and cheese.
