#NightReign is almost here and it's so strange to me how many aspects of it seem to line up with Padfoot's fanon/vibes that I remixed across the souls games and #EldenRing up until now.
So if the final boss looks like a confrontation with their dark reflection I'm gonna go absolutely feral.

No, it was a successful coup. None of the people who led it were punished, and are in fact back in power, rewarded for their efforts to break the system by running it. Donald Trump is currently the dictator he attempted to become 5 years ago, and it’s because nobody treated trying as a crime.
We must speak plainly: January 6th was an attempted coup. It was an effort to nullify millions of lawful votes and subvert the will of the American people.

Hands off Venuzela means hands off Cuba, Columbia, Iran, Somalia, Palestine, Yemen, Nigeria, fuckin Greenland - if you let ONE nation become an exception you let them ALL become targets for US imperialist pillage & ruin.
Be angry & take it to a worthy space. Make them fear you as they should.

Starmer and Farage both drape themselves in flags but once again it's really clear where their loyalty really is.
It's Trump first. They will always be on the side of the super rich and powerful - no matter how heinous the crime.
This is not patriotism. It's subservience.

"Maduro is a brutal authoritarian dictator," I wisely intone, as the corrupt demented paedophile US President violating Constitutional Law while operating a gestapo and concentration camps illegally arrests a foreign leader on charges which read like they were written on a paper placemat in crayon.

they didn't need AI to make Silksong, it just needed some deeply insane guys to have a blank check for living expenses until their next thing was done, I think we should try doing more of that instead

You are completely right. For me, intention matters. This is why I think it's so important for folks to support and highlight devs who state an open opposition to it, and why I have 0 patience for all these new mealy-mouthed vague minimization statements that still try to leave the door to it open.

The campaign group Defend Our Juries said Thunberg's arrest could signal "a new level of repression", questioning whether police had misapplied the ban on Palestine Action or whether expressions of support for detained activists were now being treated as terrorism offences.

i think if you use genai for anything, even writing an email, you're both a moron and a huge baby, and i dont want to play your video game as a result. its not that hard!
As the backlash to generative AI in video games continues to pick up steam heading into 2026, it'll be fascinating to see what is considered "made with generative AI." Can a dev team say they're not using AI if they're writing design docs with Copilot or using chatGPT to make schedules and budgets?

I like the idea that in contrast to the dryleaf arts, martial prowess honed through Trina's sleepy nectar would be a drunken fist combat style.
Chaotic dives and tumbles disguise a state of unbreaking focus, as the user's mind is held in a state of restfullness teetering on the edge of sleep.

Been sitting on this for over a year now but wacky #EldenRing idea
What if the love and fate Miquella abandoned was, by some forbidden rite, taken up by his twin sister?
I call the combination Trilania for brevity, but they remain their own distinct selves (though not entirely unchanged).

So look man if we're just gonna be online here watching all these big studios come out and lay down on the tracks about Gen AI going "I have to do this for some reason." then I think it's more important than ever to celebrate games from based devs who are out here openly posting "Nuh uh, fuck that."

Can't believe we got the DLC and the two new characters were literally
Item spamming arcane build support strategist
and
Weirdo with enhanced movement abilities and a big ass
One of my first drafts functionally included Bagcraft and Loathsome Hex almost exactly
What the heck is going on?

Been coming up with Nightfarer concepts based on Tarnished OCs with friends
Big question was; how does one make a nightfarer out of a tarnished who was already how nightfarers compare to tarnished from the outset?
Not sure if I succeeded, but the result at least feels true to character

![[A mock up of a Nightfarer's codex page for an Elden Ring OC]
A rogue in leather armour and a mask, with their hair tied back and a sword at their hip.
They have a curled feathery tail with leather pouches, knives, and clay pots strapped to the side.
Text on the image reads:
A wandering rogue that uses a vast collection of items and eclectic skills to escape danger and help those in need. Their propensity to disappear as quickly and quietly as they arrived has earned them the moniker “Padfoot.”
An agile generalist who not only makes effective use of nearly all weapons, but can suppliment them with unique benefits while two-handing, charging an attack, or dodging.
Preference: Straight Swords
Passive Ability:
Spirit Sprint
Traverse silently with great speed and agility.
Footsteps create no sound. Surge sprint costs less stamina and allows for the use of unique attacks and contextual movement options, such as a double jump.
Character Skill:
Aspect of the Crucible: Fine Feather Tail
Manifest supple tail and fine wings to attack and
enhance movement even further.
The effect of this skill is contextual, and is altered when used in conjunction with specific actions, or if followed by additional inputs.
Ultimate Art:
Smithscript Arsenal
Conjure forth a suite of items and enhance the effects of all nearby consumables and weapons.
Hold to spawn items and weapons in exchange for spending more of the Ultimate Art gauge to activate.
Use empowered items and weapon skills that drain
Ultimate Art gauge based on equipment held.
Activate again to resume normal item use early.
Attributes:
HP: B
FP: C
Stamina: A
Strength: C
Dexterity: B
Intelligence: B
Faith: B
Arcane: A](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:tss2s67amyhbzku6rm5wzjgi/bafkreif5xyt2rkhkzxb5ifukexk5bdicfghfvrolil67xrx46gwgbxtcue@jpeg)
