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?
Friends:
Should you have any questions, please do let me know.
I made this meme a few years ago and posted it to reddit. It immediately got gold and then barely any upvotes. I've always wanted to find a place to repost it, because it's a joke I'm proud of.
I feel like it should be Godfrey, not Godrick" but otberwise... lol.
Foul Tarnished... nice work!
I don't think I get it. Care to explain it to me? :c
Thanks for posting though!
"Are You There, God? It's Me, Margaret." is a popular coming-of-age novel for young girls.
According to Wikipedia:
This contemporary realistic novel was popular with middle-grade readers in the 1970s for its relatable portrayal of a young girl confronting early-adolescent anxieties, such as menstruation, puberty, bras, and boys.
What I've done here is add two associated Elden Ring characters, Godrick and Margit, to the cover, because their names are similar to "God" and "Margaret".
Inserting these Dark Fantasy monsters into a coming-of-age story about puberty is absurd, because Elden Ring couldn't possibly be more dissimilar to Judy Blume's work in both content and tone. The humor comes from that absurdity.
Thanks for the very thorough explanation :D
