October 10, 20232 yr Playing a From software game is usually super hard, but overcoming the challenge is better than an org*sm

Malenia the Rot goddess is one of the best female characters of the Souls universe. Beautiful, goddess-like but also horrifying at the same time. This DLC is about her brother and she might return depending on what the developers have in mind.

Like how in Ashes of Ariendal the player enters a Painting. I'm thinking that the DLC is either after the base game or it's a prequel to it, like you go back in time or something.
October 13, 20232 yr @Cult Icon I never listen to this track (cause I didn't remember it as a great one when I played DS3), but I just did and I realized that it has Gwyn's theme incorporated in it.
October 14, 20232 yr Watching Mike Flanagan's new show, THE FALL OF THE HOUSE OF USHER. I have seen three episode. So far it's my least favorite of his.

It's weird cause it's the composer's (Yuka Kitamura) official account. The soundtrack is "Soul of Cinder" and there's a transition (that starts at 2:16) to a mix of the first part of the track and Gwyn's theme (aka plin plin plon). It seems to correspond to the 2nd part of the fight. I didn't notice it when I played cause I didn't know Gwyn's theme at the time. Now I hear it very clearly, it's unmissable when you know Gwyn's theme. I think it's beautiful.
October 16, 20232 yr You can hear it during the fight (if you can see this video). It starts around 2:30 on this video
October 16, 20232 yr Oh and now I see that he sends lightning like Gwyn in the intro cinematic of Dark souls 1! I didn't know these references when I first played DS3. Miyasaki is a real genius. Lots of subtle cross references in his games. I understand why people spend hours trying to decipher the games.

Soul of Cinder | Dark Souls Wiki | Fandom It makes sense that the song would be a throwback to DS 1. The remarkable thing about Dark Souls Lore is that there are so many interesting ideas massed together, just very creative. "Soul of Cinder is an amalgamation of previous Lords of Cinder such as Lord Gwyn and the Chosen Undead (assuming they survive and manages to link the flame in their world), and every other character who has ever linked the First Flame. This is confirmed by its Japanese name, Incarnation of Kings (王たちの化身, lit. Outachi no Keshin), as well as the description from the Soul of the Lords.[1] As such, it wields the combined abilities, weapons, and magic of its components, giving him tremendous power. The Soul of Cinder's role as the deific manifestation of the previous Lords of Cinder is to defend the flame; as such, it acts as the final line of defense against the Ashen One when they arrive at the resting place of the First Flame."

This is beautiful!
October 19, 20232 yr The horrifying, nearly forgotten history behind Killers of the Flower Moon A century later, we still don’t know the full, stomach-churning extent of the Osage murders. Four women of the Kyle family all died suspicious deaths, from left to right: Minnie Smith (d. 1921); Anna Kyle Brown (d. 1921); Rita Smith (d. 1923); their mother, Lizzie Q. Kyle (d. 1921). The surviving sister, Mollie, narrowly escaped a similar fate. Bettmann Archive President Calvin Coolidge poses with an Osage delegation in front of the White House on January 20, 1924.

October 19, 20232 yr The book is very good, read it a couple of years ago, very much worth your time if you are interested in the story.
