Soulslike - Discussion, News, Memes

907 readers
41 users here now

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!

or

[DS1] Anyone struggling with the gargoyles?

Instead of a soundtrack with ominous Latin chanting, it's just some guy with an acoustic guitar.

It really gives new meaning to the Newsboys song "God's Not Dead."

Eat it, Nietzsche.

at a strip mall where it's surrounded by Mediterranean and Asian restaurants, a liquor store, and a mobile phone repair shop.

Not all protestants are boring like that. This has very "so-called 'non-denominational' protestant" energy to it. Quite different from an Anglican, or Calvinist, or Presbyterian, or Methodist church.

[–] Ephera@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

It's not about being boring. Protestantism came into existence out of protest, because the Catholic church was accepting money to lower the punishment for sins.
Without this money, you're less likely to build elaborate cathedrals. But I imagine, it's also a matter of not wanting to indulge in the same gluttony as the Catholic church.

[–] Zagorath@aussie.zone 3 points 1 month ago

Sure, but there's a big difference between an austere Calvinist church and fold-up chairs in a rented hall often used by so-called "non-denominational" (a term I absolutely hate, because it's just a lie) churches.

Episcopalianism is basically just Catholicism where the pastor is (openly) gay.

Thanks for the clarification - that's good to know

Mormon Dark Souls: slight variations of the same map over and over. And you take damage from the scratchy carpet walls. Boss level maps are different and cool but everyone's dressed like bakers for some fucking reason.

Invasions could arrive on bikes, wearing a white button-down and slacks.

Here’s a Protestant church, Westerkerk Amsterdam

The Kingsman church fight scene was actually just concept art for the most horrendous mob fight From has ever devised

[–] RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

A midwestern Lutheran souls would be too cosmic-horrific.

[–] Skua@kbin.earth 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Hallgrímskirkja in Iceland is a Lutheran church and it's one of the most amazing pieces of 20th century architecture I know of

[–] RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Very cool.

I'm sure it's basement is just as terrifying as every other Lutheran church basement.

TranscriptionTweet by Sofia "Buff Girlfriend" @sofiabuffgf:

They should make protestant Dark Souls where instead of cathedrals it's just like regular rooms with folding chairs

[–] v4ld1z@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 month ago

And thanks for the transcription :)

[–] Gladaed@feddit.org 5 points 1 month ago

Protestants also have 500 year old, beautiful churches.(Germany)

[–] gustofwind@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

They finally made an easy mode

[–] rockerface@lemmy.cafe 5 points 1 month ago

So, The Surge? Granted it's futuristic tech chairs

Is anyone else getting bombarded by these ads recently?

Carrying multiple chairs requires a minimum STR of 18 but every maiden refers to you as "that strong guy" for the next meeting.

[–] AgentOrangesicle@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

I mean, everyone in Dark Souls is already like crazy old, so there's that.

[–] chonglibloodsport@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Rooms? How about tents with folding chairs and a barbecue outside?
