That guy in the second picture has fused with his dog

I'm not gonna lie, its so refreshing to see someone refer to the sclera correctly.

your linework is just magnificent.

Its always a fascinating experience to be mid-kink and find out, oh boy, I am WAY too deep to stop this

It really is.
DS2 has a certain charm and humor to it that the others don't
the sheer amount of diversity in experiences it offers and playstyles available just make it incredible

I had a white lady correct me when I called myself black to the point where I had to tell her, "look, I'll call myself whatever I want"

I've never met a CEO or read about one who shouldn't have been replaced with a board of directors, specifically built from people with the direct work experience they oversee, and yes, preferably from within the company.

3 is definitely better than 1, but the best you could claim is that its different from 2.
For every person claiming 2 is so bad, they never seem to remember how much 3 learned from 2.
DS2's dna is written into 3 and Elden Ring is the obvious spiritual successor to DS2.

DS2 is easily my favorite of the three.
Its the most flexible for playstyles, by a WIDE margin, each NG+ cycle has new enemies, different enemy placements, even MORE items, including stuff you can't get in the prior new game cycle, up to a point, and even MORE LORE

never mind the black and white joke, its probably because there are a lot of artstyles out there that use that afro as a representative for like frumpy white people hair.
I didn't associate that with an afro until you mentioned it, although I DID know you weren't white.
