The are many strange transformations across the Souls series, with various entities changing form for better or worse. In some cases, patterns seem to emerge, and enigmatic concepts in previous entries might potentially be expanded on by later titles. youtu.be/LRuNbDBUoO4

I want to stream but my sleep schedule lately has been rough. For the past like 10 days I've been having a lot of chronic pain acting up, and it disrupted my sleep time such that I'm falling asleep around when I'd usually stream. If I moved stream time, I'm not sure if earlier or later is better.

We've been told The Duskbloods is not quite as similar to Nightreign as you'd think. For one, Duskbloods is competitive where Nightreign is cooperative. Rather than a Nightlord capping off each run, the thing you'll be preparing to fight in Duskbloods will seemingly most often be other players.

I think they probably weighted the game's budget and scope against the risk of making something so experimental. It probably ended up much more worthwhile cost-wise than they prepared against, because it was built on the assumption that failure was a real possibility.

And of course, all of this hinges on whether Ishizaki or another director at FromSoftware would even want to reproduce the game's format. What if this was truly a one and done? A project they felt fully satisfied the need they'd felt to create it, or one very reliant on its particular circumstance?

If they made a sequel or successor, would they want it to continue to exist in the context of Elden Ring or create a new, unique world for it? Or maybe it would depend on whatever newer game it would have to draw from? I'm really curious about a lot of the practical elements given its unique nature.

Nightreign was fundamentally a byproduct of Elden Ring's scope, only able to be made because of the volume of work that already went into the Lands Between. Was it successful enough to merit building a new Nightreign from scratch or would it only be possible if another game paved the way again?

So I've still been playing Nightreign since it released over a year ago, and sometimes I find myself wondering like, what happens with Nightreign as a concept from here? It seems to have succeeded beyond their expectations, but what does that mean for it as an IP, or even just a gameplay formula?

Going live with more Dark Souls. Our journey through Lordran is nearly complete, with only one Lord soul left to claim. Ancient graves and the Abyss still beckon, but the distant tired flame of an old and withered god dimly lights the horizon. youtube.com/live/23waZDW...

Current plan is to stream more Dark Souls tomorrow at noon CST. With only one Lord soul and the back half of the DLC left, this is likely to be the finale.

Something about the order of the words in Snake Knife concerns me. If the primary enemy were the snake, you'd expect it to be Knife Snake, knife being a modifier for snake. But no, the implication would seemingly be that the primary enemy is the knife and the snake is an accessory to it.

They put out official names for every enemy and boss in Mina the Hollower and I think it's important you all know this one is Batbat. www.yachtclubgames.com/blog/mina-th...

Going live with more Dark Souls. Our destinations for this stream include Lost Izalith and Ash Lake, so we'll be descending into some of the lowest points in Lordran, geographically speaking. youtube.com/live/cdvqhtp...

Current plan is to stream more Dark Souls tomorrow at noon CST. The only remaining lord souls are Nito and the Witch of Izalith, so we'll be starting off with a trip down to the Demon Ruins and scenic Ash Lake.

So, health entirely aside, some real life plans changed last minute and I won't be able to stream today either way.

Current plan is to stream more Dark Souls tomorrow at noon CST. I'll be upfront though, I've been having especially rough sleep issues lately, so there's some risk of having to cancel. If things go well, it'll most likely be a trip down to Ash Lake and Izalith next.

Going live with more Mina the Hollower. It seems like there's probably not too much left, so we might be able to roll credits this stream. I've had such a wonderful time with it so far, so hopefully we'll reach a wonderful ending as well. youtube.com/live/CXBusnK...

A weird thing I've been grappling with lately is a feeling like some load-bearing part of me was broken by facing my speech issues and putting myself forward as a person more. I feel I was more functional before, but only because I was deeply numb to things that are now making their weight known.

Current plan is to stream more Mina the Hollower tomorrow at noon CST. Not sure how much of the game is actually left, but it feels like there's strong odds this will be the finale.

I've been thinking, and I'm not sure what's best. If I'm unable to stream one of my regular days, would it be better to add a stream on a new day, or just move it to the next usual stream day? I'm concerned if people used to the usual days would miss out.
