Soulslike - Discussion, News, Memes

848 readers
336 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.

A midwestern Lutheran souls would be too cosmic-horrific.

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 9 hours ago

Very cool.

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

Here’s a Protestant church, Westerkerk Amsterdam

[–] MagnyusG@lemmy.world 20 points 14 hours ago

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.

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.

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

[–] rockerface@lemmy.cafe 5 points 14 hours ago

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

[–] Gladaed@feddit.org 4 points 14 hours ago

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

[–] gustofwind@lemmy.world 4 points 14 hours ago

They finally made an easy mode

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

And thanks for the transcription :)
