wretched single ply might as well use my socks
Exquisite work LordMune, my depest thanks for all the work you guys do.


Harrowing chapter, Casca seems to realize the guilt that Guts carries and the wounds he bears. He seemingly reacts aggressively only when the demons attack the casket, but bears the pain if they attack him. Does this have some connection to the waterfall where Casca mentions the wounds Guts has and how she is responsible for them (or have I misremembered)? And again in the eclipse where she tells him not to look so that he doesn't endure more pain?

I'm pretty poor at interpreting things.

I'm also very impressed with the quality of work, the digital work looks a bit better, even if the faces are still quite doll like.

It's cool seeing the iconography Fromsoft will crib for their next game as it gets published.

Funnily enough I was just thinking those shadow bat things looked a lot like those weird pink gargoyle monsters from Anor Londo.

So maybe it works both ways? :v:

First page states the "the long-awaited monthly serialization begins", and the final page says next chapter end of april. Wonder how long that'll last.

There'll be an updated version of #348 and a torrent going up sometime this weekend. I realized I completely bungled the context for one of the lines. :negative:

Hey, at least you don't have a paying client screaming at you. Seriously though, I'm a professional translator and the stuff you guys do is top notch. Love your work, keep it up.

i forget, did guts ever get around to mentioning to the rest of the group the general outline of his and casca's past? cause it's starting to look like maybe he should have given them some pointers before they entered the mindmeld

Puck and Schirke got a general outline of "REAL BAD poo poo HAPPENED" from peeking around in his mind from time to time but other than that he hasn't said poo poo to them about his past. Farneese didn't even realize (or at least wanted to consider) that Casca and Guts might have actually been lovers at some point until like halfway though the boat trip. Isidro didn't even find out he was in the Band of the Hawk until they got to Elfhelm.

Isidro not quite figuring out that Guts is his boy the 100-man slayer is one of my favourite running gags.

I thought about that a bit before I realized Miura is too busy with...other games...to realistically care about Dark Souls, but it'd be cool to get a shout-out some day.

You've got guts! Come to my village, I'll buy you lunch.

In Dark Souls 3, the "poise" stat does literally nothing (among other things making heavy armor nearly worthless compared to older games in the series) and the developers repeatedly insisted that it was working as intended.

This was never true, but it's now (after a lot of patching) way less true.

Haven't read yet, busy for a few more days. Keep those spoiler tags rolling! There clearly hasn't been enough conversation about the subtle hints on the chapter about what outcome to expect from all this... though I imagine it would suck if they sailed all this way to have no resolution (after all, when was it that SK recommended this course? Or was it Flora?).

Looking forward to helping spread the torrent later this weekend.

That was just because it was a place where they could live free of being attacked by ghosts every night. Skull Knight is the one who told them the King of Elfhelm could heal Casca.
