  I’d be pretty happy with just a ‘realistic’ dark souls setting. The wild views were great in the various games, but now give me a perfectly rendered recreation of actual castles and medieval villages to romp through, with the occasional huge reptile ripping through a village’s eastern quarter as I race to the well to raise the bucket of water that is its only weakness.

    How about modern liminal settings. A subway car at 3am. A Waffle house restroom. A closed stripmall.

      Not a Souls game but Alan Wake 2 has some great liminal spaces.

  Holy shit. I’ve played through all of the souls games and only just now am realizing just how many churches are in the games.

    Japanese know that churches are cool for boss fights.

    I have only played DS3 and ER. If i remember correctly, DS3 includes 1 big ass abbey (they call it cathedral), 1 big ass cathedral… annor londo isnt a catholic temple, but it has the looks for sure ::: spoiler spoiler And beneath it, there is another freaking temple ::: plus scattered churches.

    ER does not look like it gives churches that kind of protagonism apart from cult of marika

  Dark Souls, Protestant Uprising DLC:

  • All health items are reskinned as various types of potluck casserole.
  • Wall art updated with children’s drawings of random Bible scenes.
  • Library has various weird children’s books, the entire collection of Veggie Tales, the Ten Commandments, and Mel Gibson’s Passion of the Christ, (VHS only). -Visible signs of water damage on the carpets and tiled ceiling.
  • The parking lot is full of Lincoln Towncars that look like they have never been driven anywhere and farm trucks that look like they’ve been driven everywhere.
  • Parishioner characters on site increase dramatically during Christmas and Easter, then disappear the following Sunday.

    Works best if it’s next door to a Spirit Halloween shop. The cults of bad religion and consumer spook night are the last decomposers to show up on the carcass of a dead suburban intersection.

    The post is referring to american protestant, as opposed to capital P Protestant churches. They’re usually in smaller buildings that aren’t full-time churches/ the space is often used for non-sermon church functions. For example, my childhood church was based out of a community center room that held ~40 people and hadnt been updated since the 80s

      american protestant denominations

      One of the items Luther was protesting about was that churches were too expensive and ostentatious. So, no, unless you know if some protestants that aren’t actually in the protest.

      The post is referring to american protestant denominations like baptists, evangelicals, presbyterian, etc. as opposed to capital P Protestant churches.

      They are all capital P Protestant denominations.

      Almost all of which were built before the reformation.

      Ulm Minster, Cologne Cathedral, Speyerer Dom, the Berlin Cathedral, all originally Catholic.

      England is a better example since their brand of Protestantism really favored big works to rival the Catholics.

    The words they’re looking for is “evangelical” or “nondenominational.”

  This sounds like a joke I’m too European to understand because my local Church of Scotland Kirk is a gothic edifice dating to the 15th century.

    A remember a congregation out where I live in Yankeestan fastened a crude structure onto their truckbed and they called it their mobile chapel. They’d drive out to agriculture zones and try to preach to migrants against catholicism.

      That’s still a thing? Anti Catholicism in the US?

      I mean I know the US Government has beef with Catholics because of Liberation Theology so they funded Evangelical missionaries to preach that the people screwing them over were righteous and they should simply pray about it.
