I know there's a faster and easier way to skip this Fog Gate, but I noticed the geometry there is steep enough to make you slip but not steep enough to prevent a jump, giving you like pseudo Coyote Time when pushing against it while falling to jump back under it. Maybe it's useful somewhere else. 🤔

Doing a 10x class run (starting gear only) Dark Souls Archipelago; meaning items for the characters are randomized into the other character's worlds. Bandit is about to be the 4th character to beat Gwyn, releasing all items left in that world to all other saves, hopefully getting another one close.

It's been a theme, yeah. Miyamoto has gone on record that the style of their characters and their animations have been influenced by Thunderbirds (a puppetry show from the 60s). It has very much been a thing since the first game, where the promo material and box art were created using puppets:

Good news then! It's very easy to get back, since Steam lets you force a game to use a specific language/locale nowadays without changing your system locale or language. And apart from changing covenants and warping, most of the menus are easily navigated without any knowledge of the language.

Fun fact: The texture sheet with the semi-awkward English for on-screen splash text that most of the world only knows from the unpatched 1.0 console versions of 'Dark Souls' is still used in the current version of 'Dark Souls: Remastered' on PC when playing in Traditional Chinese (繁體中文).

The Burg-branch of the Invisible Dragon Store is much more successful, no doubt thanks to the technological advancement of a door communicating the concept of 'SMB3 Toad House thingamajigg' better. Though now meeting the urban-theoretical characteristics of a "space", it tends to get robbed as well.

As an exercise in non-verbal communication, I have been running the Invisible Dragon Store in Darkroot, where participants are required to understand the (CLEARLY COMMUNICATED! 😾) concept that you only get to pick one of the three mystery item bags, or get dragon punched.

Trivia questions (looking it up is cheating!): 1. Can players who don't have the CoA be summoned here? 2. Can players who don't have the CoA summon? 3. If 2 is yes, can you have your summons beat Four Kings, keeping Sif alive? 4. Boss ends with a cutscene. Can summons find out about Kaathe this way?

Not an attack, more of a fun fact really, but he does have a falling animation that can sometimes be spotted during randomizer runs which I consider delightfully goofy.

It is driving me a little crazy. The "buy two hard edge GND filters and put them opposite of each other so the bird can be exposed properly without utterly blowing out the sky"-kinda crazy.

I can entertain the thought someone hastily photobashed the art part. But believing an artist created an elaborate script that contains 40+ glyphs for a placeholder texture, spelling out words like '𝟑𝜇ʊ๊𝑖Ꙩ̅𝕯', while making an effort for every glyph to look unfathomably displeasing, that is not for me…
Crop out from a texture of the initial release of the video game "Clair Obscur: Expedition 33" depicting a word in a made-up script that reads something like '𝟑𝜇ʊ๊𝑖Ꙩ̅𝕯'

vergeofapathy ⛾ @apathetic.bsky.social · 16/12/2025
Granted, I'm no expert, but I'd be somewhat surprised if this texture they shipped with and then more or less silently replaced after players pointed it out was just the artistic style of someone on the team.
