I've seen it in like three posts now and am genuinely mystified what some people think a foreskin looks like. How does petrification has anything to do with it? Scales??

I think it's less of a 1:1 visual cue and has more to do with the metaphorical idea of emerging from an outer shell

Can't figure it anymore but the argument was basically as Lovecraft wrote about evil foriegn cults and the horror of race mixing, bloodborne is about how Victorian England plays on those fears to oppress the underclass while secretly engaging in the horrible rituals they claim to surpress

Even if I had the money, can't justify buying a PS4 just for Bloodborne. Need a PC version, shouldn't have to buy an overpriced mini-PC just because greedy rear end Sony treats its exclusive titles like Disney treats copyright law. Especially with PS5 development announced, clearly too late now to each that $400 turd sandwich. Come on Linux programmers, what was all that big talk on Monolith drivers and everything can be read and is just a file to Linux. blech...just about out of DS1 bosses again, not feeling the patience for the long rear end DS2 run and coming off that overplayed DS3 kick brought me back here, to begin with. God, I miss Blockbuster and their console rentals

You can get a PS4 for $150 easily these days and it's absolutely worth buying one to play Bloodborne if you like the souls series. There are a lot of other PS4-exclusive titles (mostly sony properties) that are worth playing that you can pick up for cheap too. Bloodborne is never, ever, ever coming to PC for the same reason Demon's Souls isn't, so if you want to play it, PS4 is your only option.

The real Gwynevere possibly wasn't actually that size considering the door to her chamber is too small for her to fit through it. The paintings and statues around Anor Londo do imply she really was that big though.

If you make a JP psn account you can play it through PS Now for like 5 dollars but I don't think that counts that so no.

PSN accounts are managed individually on your PS4, so you can just create a new user account and change your selected region to JP on signup. Then it'll automatically switch your region when you change accounts. From there you just navigate to the JP PSN store and Demon's Souls will be there on PS Now. The reason I don't recommend you do it though is because the text is not in English and I haven't found a way to change it.

It's much easier to do this:

"The world is a hellish place, and bad writing is destroying the quality of our suffering."
Solaire is working by his bonfire when he hears the booming voice of Darkstalker Kaathe from below: “Solaire, sacrifice your souls. Entrust thy flesh to me.” He ignores it. It goes on for days. “Solaire, sacrifice your souls. Entrust thy flesh to me.” After weeks of this, he relents, selling his souls. Darkstalker Kaathe says, "Solaire, go to New Londo.” He asks why. “Solaire, take thy souls to New Londo.” He obeys, goes to New Londo. Kaathe says, “Solaire, go to the deepest well of The Abyss and throw all of yours souls down into its infinite depths.” Solaire hesitates but knows he must. He's commanded by one of the Primordial Serpents, after all. The depths are the deepest blackness. “Solaire, sacrifice thy souls.” Why? The Abyss— “Sacrifice thy souls!” He demands something of Darkstalker Kaathe--to tell him if Ceaseless Discharge is an allegory for anything; he dumps some souls into the Abyss as he does so. He breathes easy. “Solaire, sacrifice all of thy souls.” What? “SACRIFICE ALL OF THY SOULS." He asks for another answer: Was the furtive pygmy a midget or a dwarf. Some more souls are sprinkled into the well. “Solaire, sacrifice thy souls,” the voice of Darkstalker Kaathe commands. I only have a million left! Solaire shouts. “SACRIFICE THY SOULS!” booms the voice. One more question, Solaire suggests, sprinkling more souls. The booming voice of Darkstalker Kaathe goes: “Hit your dick with a hammer, if you still have your foreskin it'll bounce off like it's made of stone."

Sony is working on its next-gen console, expecting 2020-2021 release date assuming the market and tech don't call for delay or anything. Microsoft is considering another Xbox One X type of rollout to compete if necessary. They don't want to make a new generation of consoles, they would like to make living room couch-friendly PCs that fit under TV, but they do have a small team exploring Xbox 2 angle if Sony forces their hand.

So... where was ps5 development announced, you didn't answer the question.

edit: I mean 'huh?' isn't much of a question but the implication there is that you have a source for such a claim.

not a done, release build date announced. Just that Sony is trying end this generation sooner than later. Like the Nintendo Dolphin announcement way back when. Instead of Nintendo system running CD games in 2yrs we got a Sony PlayStation and Nintendo 64 like 2.5yr-4yr or so. usually, any news doesn't leak until the projects are much further along behind the scenes.

My problem with the ~lore~ community of Dark Souls/Bloodborne is that the whole point of the story in these games is to force you to think about the themes on your own and come to your own conclusions. Not just about facts in the setting but about what overarching themes all this poo poo represents. Instead people flock to lore videos and take them as word of gospel. Nothing wrong with those videos as a way to stimulate thought and discussion but if you only listen to them and never do your own thinking you are missing the point.

this is misleading, i did this and its not super easy but I got it running

you need to run through the entire game before it can run properly though because it needs to build up the shader cache and you can't import someone elses caches like you can with Cemu or whatever

otherwise you'll get less than single digit fps every time you see a new thing

That is true, it is definitely not recommended for a first blind "whoaaa look at this atmosphere" experience, but it's great to just see how it feels to play DeS after watching billions of LPs.

Were you able to get the sound playing properly? It's fine for me for five minutes, but then some effects start playing over each other, cacophony into chaos and finally it stays blissfully silent...
