I present to you without context

Agreed! It's a great cover and music video, but it wouldn't be my first pick for what she should be known for. I could recommend a lot of Björk but my first pick for a first time listener at the moment would probably be Venus As A Boy youtu.be/nL7hsvPPQzE

Sometimes I think about how Way of Blue and Blue Sentinels should've been the same covenant. Making both less viable/used by splitting them up, especially in Dark Souls 2. Just total nonsense in padding out the total number of covenants instead of focusing on impact/ usefulness.

Charlie Kirk wanted gay people dead. He also wanted public executions televised. This isn't hyperbole, if he got his way he'd round us up into concentration camps and televise our murders. If you're going to say anything about him, not being blunt about this reality means you've failed as an ally.

I'm pretty stoned and I came up with what I think would be a neat (but very niche-use) item in a Souls game: Reusable item that drops your HP to exactly 20% if it's greater than that (wouldn't heal you if you had less). Basically a Red Tearstone Ring/ Red-Feathered Branchsword activator.

new squatting pad just dropped

Chicken wing spin. Brrrrrrr.

Dunno how many people actually use restricted mode so I can't be certain how it'll impact viewership, but half of my videos are considered potentially mature and disappear from youtube with restricted mode on. Red slashed ones are the ones that are removed, of course.

I'm not sure I'm digging the new art direction for silksong. I mean just look at this guy:

Prior to today, I had never even seen what a broken weapon looks like in Dark Souls 3. lol. (makes sense they simply got rid of durability in Elden Ring, it was clearly on its way out here)

Had a great time watching The Toxic Avenger yesterday. Very stupid fun, would recommend.

Pardon the old tumblr compressed image. For those who can read Japanese, the line on the bottom... is that character tendency or world tendency?

Inferno modding Morrowind into Elden Ring is absolutely wild. I wish this project success. youtu.be/n89NFtIUWDI?...

me at 21 or maybe 22 idk

The foundry set up for our current season of @gnollplaying.games is cool as hell. It's like we're playing a video game. Check it out!

Yes, Ornstein sucks Smough's big

some people noticed that doing Extreme Repentance in NR can give you the slate whetstone quest buff www.reddit.com/r/Nightreign... turns out they put some of the quest speffects starting at ID 9700, which also happens to be the one used to apologize to Patches in ER, so it's just an accident

Hey musician friends: It might be too late to redeem this? But, uh, wouldn't hurt to give it a shot!

Just learning about the not knowing how to count along to Roll Out by Ludacris thing and it is WAY easier for me to hear it the "wrong way". I completely get where Adam is coming from. youtu.be/M8mHggTYYb4?...

Obsessed with this track from Melody's Echo Chamber: www.youtube.com/watch?v=RRp_... Way too short at 1:30, but it's also perfect. #illusorymusicpicks

I'm never going to use language like "unalive" in my videos because I hate that nonsense, but it does bug a little that I used to be able to use language like "jump to your death" with zero hesitation but now worry about it a little more. I worry the algorithm isn't going to care about the context.

Mod-compatible PTDE Bonfire Restoration mod for Dark Souls 1 is now out. I'll put it up on nexus later, but for now anybody can download it for free over here: www.patreon.com/posts/ptde-b...

From today on, videos on my yt channel will have a fundraiser called "Souls Fans for Palestine Aid," which is raising funds for the Palestine Children's Relief Fund (PCRF), who provides free medical care and critical humanitarian aid to the children of Palestine. reposts appreciated!

Dark Souls - Vagrant

Die Hard was almost certainly better off for changing directions, but on the other hand Commando is basically the best movie ever.

BEHOLD: THE DEMON'S SOULS POTIONS BEHOLD AND DESPAIR

So that's what those were!

Very sad to learn that Jeremy Greer passed away. He was incredibly kind, sweet, and it was always a joy to chat with him. Here's a blast from the past. He invited me on to ep 6 of DGUS in 2016. DS3 had just come out and we talked about how I got into Souls. dontgiveupskeleton.com/episode/epis...

My first ever solo win against a Nightlord was in a run where I abandoned the game for almost 5 minutes on day 1 and wasn't trying to even play the game normally. Then I wound up being level 14 at the *start* of day 2. 💀

I know Nightreign speed runs are a thing, but has anything formed around "high score" challenges yet? I'm wondering what kinds of records are being hit for "most runes held" after reaching level 15 and defeating a Nightlord.

Remember to keep your dogs cool during the summer heat

It's only a half baked idea at this moment but at some point in the future I might make videos for a secondary channel where I document practicing the drums. Can I "git gud" at drumming, basically. I'm decent, but I stopped playing a long time ago and stopped practicing even further back.

I'm fully aware I need to correct this, but to this day the only Akira Kurosawa film I've seen is Dreams. I own it on Blu Ray and it rules.

Feeling like a bit of hater today, so I wanna share my revulsion for this sort of content that exists primarily on TikTok. There's a lot of stuff masquerading as tools for introspection that are actually pretty fucked up, not being done by actual therapists, and is just utter dogshit.

update! Free Reign 0.2.0 www.nexusmods.com/eldenringnig... now supports standard play and everdark bosses also takes about 46 times as much disk space as before haha oops teehee

I'm on audio saying nerdy souls things while something much more important and pressing was happening. 🐈‍⬛️🪱

I feel genuinely lucky that I’ve gotten to experience a bunch of From Software first time things with illusorywall while playing Nightreign together. I’m even more stoked that this one in particular has footage of my original online gaming handle: KarlHotDogs

Online only stuff makes me nervous. Anything they put into the game as timed unlocks will be moddable into the game on PC, but I hope that there'll be something like a final patch later on that makes it permanently available, especially for consoles.

Something not mentioned in the Elden Ring Nightreign patch notes: Player ghosts are back! 👻 Reportedly they were supposed to restore some of your Arts Gauge if you get close enough to them but I haven't been able to confirm yet if that's actually a thing. Keep an eye out!

I dunno how they pulled it off, but the matchmaking with randos in Nightreign when you're trying to do remembrances is worse than trying to use the Short Root Ritual Chalice in BB. Maybe worse than trying to invade as a Darkmoon in DS1 today. The most dead/ unviable of Souls matchmaking to date?

I encourage everyone to look up "freedom fries" if you're too young to remember that.

Elden Ring Nightreign bug fixing patch is here. App ver 1.01.3 Regulation ver 1.01.4 nightreign.eldenring.jp/article/2506... A few thoughts/ reactions...

what’s everyone been doing to avoid doomscrolling? me? I’ve been giving The Fair Lady humanity and working my way to the top of the Chaos Covenant leaderboard

How difficult is it repeatedly proc'ing the exact same status effect on an enemy in Elden Ring Nightreign? I'm not yet sure if I'll make a new video for it but the tl;dr is that it works exactly the same as it did in Elden Ring, which I explained here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=lTdz...

thinking about the poop fly scrolling texture in undead asylum

They need to not penalize the last player to leave. And there should be a vote, at *least* for established parties & password matched players, to quit or restart a session. #Nightreign
