  • This is really cool! But – and I mean no disrespect – it’s not really Tarot (or at least not the Major Arcana). Tarot is about symbology, whereas these cards are akin to the Minor Arcana royalty – Page, Knight, Queen, and King. The art of the Major Arcana is specifically designed to contain certain symbols which can be used for readings. Of course, there are plenty of decks out there that do not conform to this, but they aren’t particularly useful as Tarot. It would be really cool to recreate this symbology as Major Arcana cards in the context in Elden Ring though!





  • It is a somewhat reductive statement, I’ll give you that, but I think the core idea is true. Most people will go to the easiest solution. Lemmy’s userbase may continue to grow for some time, but it will not reach anywhere close to the level of reddit. I think it’s foolish to point to the trends from the last week and try to draw conclusions about the future, as this is clearly an extraordinary circumstance.






  • I haven’t had any interest in FF games since the original 7, but I played the demo after I saw it on the store just for fun. I think I’m gonna buy this one.

    Other than some gripes and annoyances, it’s fucking fun. Closer to dark souls combat than the weird ATB stuff they’ve had for a while.

    The writing is surprisingly okay, albeit with some cringe lines here and there and and overall trope-ey lore. Some of the exposition actually didn’t feel totally out of place!

    My biggest concern is about grind, as is the case with much of the series, but we’ll see I guess.
