I used to have that exact model of chair. Looted it from my previous job when they replaced the chairs in the conference room. Comfortable, but sweaty to sit in for longer periods.

Are you suggesting they're not good with cheese?

Quite violently, yes.

It's essentially what happens at Thanksgiving every year when people try to deep fry a frozen turkey and burn their houses down.

Sadly, it's just makeup. He's orange because he wants to be orange.

Donald, the oil's too hot! Quick, dump a bucket of ice in there before it catches fire!

That's pretty tame, IMO. I feel like Souls bosses like the Leechmonger or the Gaping Dragon, are originally much more grotesque than the changes made to the Vanguard demon. Even the Asylum Demon in Dark Souls is based on the Vanguard demon and seems more unsettling than that.

I feel like this guy works out at least. It's the tutorial boss that you're expected to die to. By the time you meet him, you've been playing the game for about 10 minutes, you probably haven't really got a feel for the controls or how to fight a boss, and he shows up to scare you, and you die to him, most likely in about 5 seconds. The original stony version does the job, and so does this one IMO. You fight another one later on in the game as a slightly-stronger-than-average enemy, but by then you're equipped to handle him, and it's a pretty quick battle again.

I know I'm not someone who cares that strongly about the integrity of the original vision, but I feel like given the 15 years between the original and the remake, even if Fromsoft themselves had remade it, we would probably be seeing similar changes.

You think you've got the stones to become a geologist?

There was also a video a while back from one maker channel where the guy said that he got some type of nasty poisoning from breathing in fumes from ABS printing. Fortunately ABS isn't as popular of a material as it once was, now that there are better alternatives, but I'm sure many of them still put out some nasty fumes.

There's no return address on the envelope, so it wouldn't be returned to anyone.

To be fair, it's pretty hard to laminate a chiseled marble slab that one has to carry around as ID.

there were definitely some “enhancements” that didn’t exactly match the authorial intent of the original.

Like what? I haven't and probably never will play the remaster, but my understanding was that it was meant to be as close to the original as possible only with nicer graphics. I read that they were even trying to match the timings of combat exactly.

It was Sony that went to Fromsoft to have a game made, essentially. It was going to be a Sony game from the start, and if they hadn't done it, we wouldn't have Bloodborne at all.
