This is a community for discussion, news, and memes pertaining to the video game sub-genre "soulslike".

Given Lemmy's size, the definition of soulslike may be treated relatively loosely. While games like the numerous FromSoft titles, the recent Star Wars Jedi games, Lies of P, Nioh and similar games should be the focus, games that incorporate soulslike elements - like Hollow Knight and Blasphemous, for example - may also be discussed here.

Basic Lemmy-quette applies. Additionally, since flairs don't exist yet, please do make sure to include a marker to denote what game your post is about in square brackets for clarity's sake. An example could be:

[BB] This enemy is so difficult!

[DS1] Anyone struggling with the gargoyles?

[Discussion] Which Soulslike will you be playing this weekend and do you have any Soulslike-themed tattoos? (lemmy.zip)

I was thinking about starting Dark Souls again since my last save got deleted. I'd probably play on PC this time around for convenience. Maybe I'll get to it this weekend. :)

I've got two tattoos and both are kinda related to soulslikes. The first one are two koi fish circling a sunflower against a backdrop of waves. While not originally intended as such, I do love Sekiro a lot, so the koi also represent the big carp in Sekiro who's just really cool.

My second tattoo is quite clearly inspired by soulslikes. It's a blue butterfly with two white lilies under and over it. The butterfly is in reference to the butterflies found in Lies of P as well as a direct nod to Sophia while the white lilies can be found in Gehrman's boss arena in Bloodborne. Love both games, so I was looking for a way to incorporate them both into one tattoo.

Do you have any Soulslike-inspired tattoos? Would you like to share if you do?

Okay… when I squint really hard it kinda looks like that… maybe. But none would say that when they just see it on your arm.

I actually think that the way the butterfly wraps around the curve of the arm mitigates the taxidermied look and makes it look more natural, imho.

Still fantastic tattoos. Even more so now that I didn’t look so much at them as individual tattoos on two arms but a combined look.

Yeah, StS2 is still super fun. Everything before A9 was kinda manageable especially for Regent, but the more damage of A9 kinda throws of my gameplay feel.

As stupid as it was for the Chinese players to crash out and mass downvote for slight balance changes in the beta branch of an early access game (the feedback button is right there…), what happened later was even more stupid: some idiot people found Anita Sarkeesian credited as a consultant in the credits and lost their minds. I mean the Gamergate harassment campaign was l over a decade ago… And some sad individuals just wanna continue to harass… The Chinese players at least played the game, but some nitwits who don’t even play the game have now mass downvoted.
