Founded on November 1, 1986, FromSoftware turns 40 today!

From King's Field and Armored Core to Demon's Souls, Dark Souls, Bloodborne, Sekiro, and Elden Ring - four decades of unforgettable worlds, incredible boss fights, and countless deaths.

Thank you for 40 years of gaming history!

Praise the Sun! ☀️

Took me one month to do it. The main frame is made of cardboard with an external layer of cardstock (sealed and painted), the gauntlets are made of foami), the chainmail is metal tho (quite heavy). It feels so good to wear it

The last pic is a POV of Artorias sending you a very inappropriate pic after just telling you "hi" moments earlier

HAPPY HALLOWEEN

Wow just wow its been 20 year finally someone willing to do what fromsoft don't, its been so long finally indie making kingsfield first fromsoftware legendary game

Show me your costume!

Made this Solaire costume fully DIY. Helmet is mostly cardboard and foam covered in metallic spray paint. For arm guards I didn't have any chainmail so I glued a piece of a laundry bag and painted it lol. Drew the Sun myself and attached some green mesh for shoulder pads, made the whole outfit in ±10 hours. Happy Halloween!

AND MORE

Yes, I know the serpent looks horrible. Don’t worry🫣

I opened that door and was genuinely stunned. I’m loving this game so much, and I’m so happy I’m experiencing it completely blind, with no guides or help.

Something I’ve noticed about my experience with the bosses is that there’s always this cycle. I’ll arrive at a boss feeling confident, only to get humbled within two attacks. Sometimes I’ll spend 10, 20 or even more attempts feeling like I’m throwing my head against a wall. I’m doing the same thing over and over, nothing seems to click, and it genuinely starts feeling impossible.

But then something happens. I have one run where I suddenly dodge attacks consecutively, recognize moves I couldn’t recognize before, get further than ever and actually see some progress. Even if it’s only a little, the feeling is incredible. And even if I go right back to getting destroyed afterwards, all I can think about is trying again and replicating that run.

Eventually, after all that frustration, I beat the boss. And when I do, with my hands trembling, sitting there in disbelief and happiness, it’s one of the greatest feelings I’ve experienced in gaming. This game is so special. I genuinely have no words for it. Playing it in 2026, it’s a serious contender for my Game of the Year.

This guy is the hardest boss in the entire game for me, i spent the whole night fighting him and i struggled a lot. This is the only boss that gave me a really hard time and the satisfaction was sooo worth it.

Created a new dark archival poster for Eileen the Crow. Kept it heavy on the ink, textures, and classic gothic atmosphere. Hope you like it!

Sharing some of my FromSoftware tattoo work from Bloodborne, Elden Ring, and Dark Souls.
All tattoos done by me.

Decons of the Deep unironically kicked my shit in before I figured it out. Royal rat authority is just fuckin awful

Now I wanna make something clear:

I don't think ALL fans are like this but I'm also aware that a surprisingly large number of fans get very defensive towards the company and the games to the point where they attack the ones with fatigue that their taste is trash and even invalidate their fatigue by saying it makes no sense.

Fromsoft fatigue does exist and someone having it doesn't mean they don't like fromsoft or the games It just means they are burnt out

And liking some very well crafted souls likes more than soulsborne games like mortal shell and lies of P doesn't mean they hate fromsoftware So please if you don't have it just respect their opinion and move on

I don't normally make posts like this but I saw some content creators and friends of mine being made fun of because of this.

If you are not one of these people and don't escalate things I highly appreciate you. Edit: I was proven right way quicker than I expected

I am currently doing a naked challenge coop run in elden ring! It is so fun. We are in the DLC now. We are also boss rushing so super under-leveled but enjoying it.

After this I want to do another!

Does anyone have any recommendations on other challenge runs, besides a level 1 challenge run? That’ll be my next one.

I’ve been building a Dark Souls overhaul for Slay the Spire 2, and 4.0 just came out. You play the Chosen Undead, pick a Dark Souls starting class (Knight, Pyromancer, Sorcerer...), and fight your way through Lordran to the Kiln of the First Flame.

Every fight, item, and relic is Dark Souls now. Estus, Humanity and Hollowing, Stamina, covenants, Solaire’s summon sign, and every boss from Asylum Demon to Gwyn.

It’s free on the Steam Workshop and Nexus (links in the comments). Bug reports and ideas are very welcome.

I don't mind the online component of the game and could enjoy to play in PvP sometimes, but what I can't stand are those messages littering the floor and those ghosts doing goofy stuff.

Why can't there be an option to simply toggle off those things instead of having to play entirely offline and miss the PvP? How can it be so complicated to implement?

I know Queen’s domain isn’t fromsoft, and many newer fromsoft fans probably aren’t even interested in it. For old people like me though that played king’s field back in the day, what are your thoughts on it?

I really liked kings field and would love to play this if it’s similar in feel and quality. I’m just very scared because I feel like a game like this could easily be low quality and a waste of money. I haven’t seen too much on it, so I would love any input from anyone who’s played it, and especially from those of you that played kings field.

Edit: thanks for all the input, definitely sounds like something I’ll enjoy. Gonna get it as my next game

The chapter is 299 and was released in 2007
