There's also an actual physical candle in there as well. So it's like an entire candle gets glued to the top of your head when you dunk it in there... I guess.

I just noticed that the wax head of Dark Souls 3 has its candle wick texture not cropped/ transparencied correctly, surrounded by a black rectangle.
My immersion has been ruined! Pre-order canceled, etc.

Shout out to the Famicom version's box art. They like... actually made a model of the character and photographed it? Weird amount of effort tbh.

Fun fact: Not only is this the ending to a real NES game, but the game it's from has some of my favorite tom samples in NES music.
I ripped those samples & you can hear them in (most?) of my Dark Souls Dissected chiptune intros.
Find me better 1-bit toms; Just listen to this.

Stoning people to death for being gay was "god's perfect law" according to him.
Also did a smarmy "just saying" when bringing it up. Disgusting monster he was.

Dunno how many people actually use restricted mode so I can't be certain how it'll impact viewership, but half of my videos are considered potentially mature and disappear from youtube with restricted mode on.
Red slashed ones are the ones that are removed, of course.

I'm fully aware I need to correct this, but to this day the only Akira Kurosawa film I've seen is Dreams.
I own it on Blu Ray and it rules.

Online only stuff makes me nervous.
Anything they put into the game as timed unlocks will be moddable into the game on PC, but I hope that there'll be something like a final patch later on that makes it permanently available, especially for consoles.

Player ghosts in Nightreign are completely new to the general playerbase, because as far as I know they were completely absent in both the network test and final game until now.
I had absolutely no idea what the group password description meant by this, but it's finally making sense.

Something not mentioned in the Elden Ring Nightreign patch notes:
Player ghosts are back! 👻
Reportedly they were supposed to restore some of your Arts Gauge if you get close enough to them but I haven't been able to confirm yet if that's actually a thing. Keep an eye out!
