Hey guys!

For this weekend’s discussion post, we have an announcement to make. Inspired by the recent post about Elden Ring’s “Seamless Co-op” mod by @sad_detective_man@sopuli.xyz and all the fun and interesting data they have gathered, @Skua@kbin.earth came up with an idea for an official c/Soulslike Seamless Co-op event!

He made a poll to gather some info which can be found here. Here, you can let him know what your preferred co-op experience looks like (PvP, PvE party, PvE gauntlet), what kind of communication you’d prefer (we have a Discord and a Matrix channel!), and what your general availability looks like.

The event will be taking place on 2nd May (time TBD) on PC only (at this time). The specifics of the event will be ironed out until then going off the information gathered in the poll. Another follow-up post to this one to announce the specifics will follow soon.

What you need:

  • a copy of Elden Ring (PC)
  • Steam
  • a knack for Jolly Co-operation™
  • a free Saturday

Here are the links to the Matrix channel and the Discord channel if you’d like to swing by and chat a little until then.

Huge thank you to @Skua@kbin.earth and @sad_detective_man@sopuli.xyz for coming up with the idea and organising the event - we hope you come by and have a good time!

If you guys have any questions, do let them know.

Have a great weekend y’all ♥

    Looks a little too horny for my taste, but I’ll have a look at it :D

      What made you think it is a horny game? Just curious because it’s not a horny game like… at all. Seriously. It’s just a phenomenal roguelike deckbuilder with a built in visual novel story that will probably surprise you at times. I ended up really liking it and I don’t even like anime. Good music too.

          Are they that scantily clad or am I just brainbroken by modern standards? They look like typical anime designs to me - which for the record I don’t particularly love either but they don’t stand out as over the top horny?

          Anyway the game itself is not horny at all. The main character is a child, there is no sex anywhere, there is no flirting - not even between other characters.

          The only suspect part is the anime beach episode DLC but you have to purchase that separately and it’s not part of the game or the main story. And honestly the game would be better without it. At least it adds some fun items and abilities and you don’t have to engage with it beyond that.

            I don’t think there’s a right or wrong approach here - I just might be a bit more sceptical or a little more sensitive when it comes to this topic. But if you say it’s fine, I’ll definitely have a look at it and try to go in as unbiased as possible.

              I hope you do, I think it’s one of the best roguelike deckbuilders ever. The mechanics are great, the boss fights are interesting and there are plenty of different builds available since you have four characters to combine and each has at least two ways to build them, often with build A and B for a character synergizing with different other party members.

              The story is also surprisingly decent and touches on some interesting themes and even though I don’t really like anime it managed to land the big moments for me.

                A deckbuilder with an actual story is also interesting. With your Slay the Spires and Monster Trains, the focus is usually on the gameplay and not so much plot. Interested in seeing how that works
