I was thinking about starting Dark Souls again since my last save got deleted. I’d probably play on PC this time around for convenience. Maybe I’ll get to it this weekend. :)
I’ve got two tattoos and both are kinda related to soulslikes. The first one are two koi fish circling a sunflower against a backdrop of waves. While not originally intended as such, I do love Sekiro a lot, so the koi also represent the big carp in Sekiro who’s just really cool.
My second tattoo is quite clearly inspired by soulslikes. It’s a blue butterfly with two white lilies under and over it. The butterfly is in reference to the butterflies found in Lies of P as well as a direct nod to Sophia while the white lilies can be found in Gehrman’s boss arena in Bloodborne. Love both games, so I was looking for a way to incorporate them both into one tattoo.
Do you have any Soulslike-inspired tattoos? Would you like to share if you do?
I don’t have any tattoos at all. And honestly, if I were to get one it would probably not be Soulslike-inspired. When I was young and pretentious I did want to get Rimbaud’s poem Départ tattooed somewhere, but these days honestly I’m kinda glad I didn’t. I don’t think I lived up to all that. I do still resonate with it though.
No Soulslikes for me right now. I tried doing some runs in the roguelike mode of AI Limit but I ran into the first new DLC boss and just uninstalled the game instead. The game is fine but I just wasn’t really having fun with it. I can’t really tell if the game has some annoying designs or if I’m just not into Soulslikes anymore, it’s been like 6 months since the last Soulslike I played.
Anyway instead I finally finished up Rise of the Ronin. I burned out on the open world some months back so it was good to finally see the credits and be able to free up some disk space. Next up on Backlog Cleanup is getting around to finishing Ninja Gaiden 4.
