so, last boss of the DLC
the Orphan and the Pthumerians. Whats the connection there, if at all? I assumed they were a civilization who abused the blood of Kos instead of the Moon Entity, but it seems like using the blood of Kos makes you more fishy, like the people in the Hamlet? and the Orphan seems exactly like a Pthumerian, but he's not in the past and in another dimension, so how could he create another civilization?
It’s steep (coulda been a few bucks for both emotes and the stickers instead of 10 total) but I don’t begrudge extra dlc costing money (especially immersion-breaking silly cosmetic stuff like this) because they still gotta pay artists and devs to stay on staff after development is completed to make this stuff.
I am extremely skeptical that they would be unable to properly pay their employees without charging $4 for a single emote
Oh I agree. Especially with a pool of 6 million potential buyers.
But if this does well and we get more monsters out of it then sure whatever.
I’ve already dumped over 100 hours into the game and I’m nowhere near done, which is also part of the metric I use when deciding if dlc is “worth” it. Kind of like a tip jar to get them to keep supporting the thing I like.
The ability to further monetize a thing will absolutely impact how many resources they commit to said thing. Especially since the only announced monster right now is free.

It will definitely impact how aggressively they decide to monetize future DLC offerings.

So as far as I'm aware, there's no direct connection to the Pthumerians and Kos/Orphan, at least stated in game besides their general relation to the Great Ones. I assume the Pthumerians mostly had contact with Oedon, due to their ability to control blood as a weapon (the Queen, and the abilities granted to Vilebloods/Maria). The story is so open-ended pretty much any interpretation of events/motivations for the Great Ones you can give could fit.
Per the game, the body of Kos washes up off the Fishing Hamlet. The nascent hunters & researchers of Byrgenwerth are dispatched there, and violate the now mutated villagers seeking to understand what happened to them due to the Great One's influence. What may or may not have happened there, including to the unborn Orphan is left up to the viewer's interpretation, aside from the fact it so disgusted Maria she gave up her weapons. And Gehrman is clearly tormented by the Orphan's influence via the Hunter's Nightmare, you even get that small audio clue of his crying overlayed with the Orphan's at the end of the cut-scene before the fight, and the Doll's dialog to you should you kill the Orphan before the end of the game.
But given the whole, layered realities, even dying physically isn't death dying for Great Ones (or even Queen Yharnam), I don't suppose reverse causation and non-euclidean time stuff isn't out of the question here either.
Adam Scott and Scott Aukerman are doing a weekly podcast about the band REM? What am I missing here? Is there a joke I'm not getting?
They did this before with U2. It was initially supposed to be at least a somewhat serious music podcast but they didn't get through one episode before it devolved into something extraordinarily silly
And now instead of trying to wring more material out of U2 they're moving on to one of Adam's other favorite bands
One of the signature goofs of U Talking U2 to Me was nested podcasts, where anytime someone said something that vaguely sounded like a podcast title they would transition into doing an episode of that podcast
Is there like, a second podcast playing in the background of that audio?
Yes. That episode is a commentary special where they were meant to be providing a "directors commentary" to one of their earlier episodes. They gave up on that about 3 minutes in and it's wonderful.
The one about the fucking space hairdresser and the cowboy. He's got a tinfoil pal and a pedal bin

Okay gotcha. I had the volume turned down low and was like, WTF am I hearing? Is some other tab paying audio right now?

Thanks, I just wanted to be sure. This means I can workshop my own theories without having missed an esteblished connection.
also I have fallen down a Bloodborne fansong youtube hole and I never wanna climb out
I'm constantly confronted with apalling objectively unenjoyable utterly meritless entertainments every single day of my life, you don't see me goin around talkin about it
Broke as fuck in the style of the times. Gratitude is all that can return on your generosity.

I'm still not sure who's hitting those circles or strumming those 4-string guitars.

My man if that is a cumulative effect, you must be halfway to Earth's core by this point

Usually I can sort of get the appeal of a thing, even if it doesn't work for me
Like I get WHY monster hunter should be cool, even if I don't like it
But I seriously couldn't even understand what they were saying on that because of the overlaying
But also I have trouble understanding people in restaurants so maybe thats a me problem
I'm just razzing you buddy
See, sometimes people wanna pay money to eat food they don't have to prepare
I’m only 24 minutes in myself, and while I agree, I feel like I’ve now definitely at least heard of R.E.M., so I’m not going to complain.
Idiots, you can just make pancakes at home
Wait this is the first time you’ve heard of REM?
Roll me into my coffin right now, because my ancient form can’t last too much longer.
Fuck
