So we should just do away with definitions, and go with whatever people think a word means the first time they hear it? Why?

That might be what people think the word means when they first hear it, but that doesn't mean we should use it that way.

I like it, because it forced people not to assume master is the main branch. If something is common enough to almost be a standard, but it's not actually a standard, it's just waiting for disaster.

These assumptions cause unnecessary breakage, but people will make them unless forced not to.

I like to imagine him as a slightly less sexy Danny DeVito

Is cuddling ever dangerous? Like, a cat is usually max. 10 kg, but they can be surprisingly intense while cuddling. I'm trying to imagine a 75kg pig standing next to you and flopping down, and it probably doesn't feel good!

They can't know whether the baby actually eats them. The baby could be buying them for their parents, after all.

Oh, is it actually mentioned that the guy who tipped them off saw which room they went to?

I mean, what is a body if not a stretched and widened head with one nose hole, no mouth, two chins at the bottom and two extra chins on the sides?

Hey there! After some requests, I've opened up a community around Elden Ring Lore: [email protected]

If you're interested, please join! Can't wait to hear all your ideas and thoughts :)

 

Okay, title might sound a bit crazy, but hear me out.

When you cross the bridge to the Divine Tower of East Altus, you're pulled into a boss fight with two Omens: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GVuAtY6Lq8M

I think that this fight happens inside the veil which separates the Shadow Lands from the Lands Between. There are a bunch of reasons for this:

  1. We know that Omen blood is needed to cross into the Shadow Lands, as Miquella uses Mogh's accursed blood to allow himself and his followers to cross the boundary
  2. There are very few examples of similar visual effects - I can only really think of the fight against Rennala (the transition to the second phase), and the fight against the Elden Beast (also transition to second phase). Nowhere else do we see shadows appearing like this, and both these cases can be linked to Marika (through Ranni and Radagon respectively)
  3. The Omen don't have the kind of magic you'd need to do something like this. They have some magical properties, but those are mostly out of their control. Maybe they aren't even doing this on purpose - the Fell Twins could simply be stuck inside the veil, unable to progress further
  4. When overlaying the DLC and basegame maps, we can be sure the Divine Towers would be close to the borders. Even though the maps don't fit when looking at all details, we can be certain the veil must run somewhere along the area of the divine bridges
  5. The fight ends once we kill both Omen. It's reasonable to assume that the hand which transports us to the Shadow Lands also would cease working if all the Omen blood were removed

All of this leads me to believe that this fight happens inside the veil! What do you think?

 

Hey there! This is a new community for all those who enjoy the lore and worldbuilding of Elden Ring, an incredible game developed by FromSoftware and published in 2022. Feel free to post any theories, questions and ideas you have!

 

Amazing episode! But I'm not sure how to feel about this decision yet, guess we'll have to see which theories are correct.

When the short animated movie starts, we clearly see a projector with three separate projection sources, one with a lens for each base color:

Since they are each positioned with a slight offset and angled, the projected pictures can't work well for all distances. The further you get from the actual "perfect" distance, the more the different color channels will be offset visually. And yet, what do we see when Mr. Milchick steps in front of the screen?

Obviously the whole fandom has been intensely discussing multiple theories:

  • Lumon has developed projector technology lightyears ahead of our own
  • Most of the production cost for this season went into growing such a talented child actress, so Apple saved money on set design
  • Mr. Milchick is actually a flat surface that merely looks like a 3D person due to optical trickery

I'm not sure which one I agree with the most. What do you guys think?

Freunde, ich wende mich an euch aus tiefster Verzweiflung heraus. Das hier ist keine Werbung, sondern ein Hilfeschrei.

Warum genau schmeckt mir die Tiefkühl-Tonno-Pizza von Dr. Oetker so gut? Was ist da genau drauf? Ich habe endlose TK-Tonnos durchprobiert und selbst viele gemacht, aber irgendwas ist auf der Dr. Oetker-Pizza drauf, das ich nicht reproduziert bekomme. Aber auch nur auf der! Es sind Klekse aus einer undefinierbaren Masse, die mein Ambrosia sind - vermutlich eine Mischung aus Thunfisch-Ersatz und Gewürzen, aber jeder Versuch es zu erforschen hat ins Nichts geführt.

Hat hier jemand Zugriff auf die geheimen Rezepte und wäre bereit für ein kleines bisschen Industriespionage? Meine aktuelle Vermutung geht in Richtung Koks oder Heroin o.Ä., anders kann ich mir meine körperliche und psychische Abhängigkeit nicht erklären - doch der rationale Teil meines Hirns widerspricht vehement, weil man das bestimmt rausschmecken würde.

Versteht jemand, was ich meine? Oder bin ich gefangen in einem sisyphosischen Kreis, verdammt dazu stets zum Supermarkt gehen zu müssen um das High erneut zu erleben?

Falls ihr das lest und die TK-Tonno noch nie probiert habt, bitte ich euch: tut es nicht. Es war schwer genug, die Kommentare von dem einen Reddit-Account durchzulesen, der nur Mal Heroin probieren wollte. Ich möchte für ähnliche Abstürze keine Verantwortung tragen.

He's a little shithead, but we love him dearly.

 

It doesn't stop. It just never stops.
