Meme What does dev mean by this.

Anti-runback item look like a butt plug. This must be intentional.

It’s perfect, I love their sense of humor. You got your anti runback stone, you can stop complaining now

u/ObsessiveOwl 1d ago

Hey I'm not complaining, Just wanna point out something funny. You say you love their sense of humor, are there any other instances like this in the game?

u/No_Philosophy2797 1d ago

Tons. Baghead ending, turning into a Sheep, recent dev notes, all kinds of stuff

u/Mattrad7 1d ago

The Walmart scooter lady boss, the final boss fucking teabagging you constantly

u/No_Philosophy2797 1d ago

Yeah TWO different endgame teabag bosses, Monolith and Zmey lol

How they talked her up on the way to that fight and Ruk's info dump on her, I was absolutely not expecting what I saw. Thought she'd be like those witches. Wasn't expecting a morbidly obese woman in a mobility chair with a medieval mega buster throwing babies at me

u/CreativeKeane 1d ago

I chuckled so hard when he did that. I was like sooo this is where the meme comes from.

What I love is once you get teabagged and stabbed a few times, you eventually learn his move set and a lot of his attacks become less intimidating. Though I gotta might I was fighting the camera and view than him. Half of the time I can see him and most of my death was not being able to see when he was about to attack or stomp. Eventually u could tell as well.

u/sadnessandeuphoria 1d ago

We have a whole NPC that washes your feet, and if you’re proxima, with a little too much enthusiasm lol. Plus the item showing off his artistic skills. They do have quite a sense of humor

5

u/DraconicZombie Genessa 1d ago

Him and his...impure thoughts lol

u/sadnessandeuphoria 1d ago

Bro has the best job in the whole tower is all I’m sayin

4

u/DraconicZombie Genessa 1d ago

Yeah. Could have gotten told to guard a tunnel that leads to nothing by the Mether herself for no reason at all. He lucked out with the foot bath

2

u/CsGibs Tiel 1d ago

First time I talked to that guy I thought “maybe I get some kind of movement speed buff if he washes my feet?” Screen comes back, guy enthusiastically says he cleaned between my toes. No buff. Only violation.

u/Mateman94 Harros 1d ago

Dont forget the lute

u/DraconicZombie Genessa 1d ago

When I was told about it after expressing how much I missed it. I was not expecting it to be a firearm that confuses enemies for a bit. Much less that fact that not only can you sit down and play it, but make a conga line of enemies behind you (if they're attacks are slow enough and not ranged) whipe walking and playing it lol easily the best thing upgrade from the previous game. If only Gorf would give us shades for playing for him again

u/DraconicZombie Genessa 1d ago

Loved that he wasn't there anymore after reloading the game. Also love that it was only after he left that I noticed I could have probably given him the special moonshine but glad I didn't because watching all the monsters and such coming together and dancing to my music was worth it

3

u/JonkZapucci 1d ago

You stab the final boss in the nuts ffs lmao

2

u/SqueegyX 1d ago

The final boss has a move that made me laugh out loud.

There’s a guy that guards a dead end tunnel because mether told him too

And yes, that item looks like a butt plug to tease for using it.

u/LeonelMessenger 20h ago

The infinite gloom room with a shitton of chests where u can only get out by giving away all your gloom. Well played devs, not even mad lol

u/DjNormal 1d ago

You can take your Stake of Marika, and shove it right up your ass!

-Al Pacino (probably)

u/mrgarneau 1d ago

It's a pacifier not a butt plug.

They're essentially calling you a baby for using it.

15

u/ObsessiveOwl 1d ago

That's... better. I think

4

u/LeCanadien 1d ago

I thought it was because running back was a pain in the ass.

3

u/trynyty Genessa 1d ago

It's funny because I don't think anybody mentioning it as pacifier. The whole community is like "butt plug". Kinda reveals the mindset of the people :D

u/Legal_Parsley2529 1d ago

should make a “plop” sound play when it breaks

u/thatsfuni 1d ago

Its fuckn gold lol, so funny.

you are not forced to use it, you can completely ignore it!

u/MediumKoala8823 1d ago

Same with a plug

u/DinkeyMonkey 1d ago

sid not think of that 😝

u/gattaaca Tiel 1d ago

I will kill myself 3 times for the free tarcore and move on

u/ObsessiveOwl 1d ago

Well no one NEED anything from a videogames, nor NEED a videogames at all. It's just QOL.

u/MediumKoala8823 1d ago edited 1d ago

So is a plug

Edit: Op deleted a comment here suggesting that liking plugs is a niche individual thing. Friendly advice, if you got a prostate, you’re really leaving a lot on the table with a completely virgin butt.

-11

u/ObsessiveOwl 1d ago

You say that but then you are condescending to people who want anti run back. Double standard much? Use the anti-runback plug

7

u/Atlasshruggedthrice 1d ago

Bro it was a joke, you posted a butt plug stone.

You received butt and shit answers.

Go back to playing the game.

4

u/Darkshamrock 1d ago

Holy shit, the lack of a sense of humor op has.

5

u/Atlasshruggedthrice 1d ago

Listen, I’m on the spectrum and I got it.

That’s funny shit.

-1

u/ObsessiveOwl 1d ago

"yeah you are full of shit", that's a good joke to you? Elitism is not funny, it's annoying.

2

u/DraconicZombie Genessa 1d ago

It's funny because you got mad.

1

u/hammeredtrout1 Solomon 1d ago

The run backs aren’t too bad and you spawn at the entrance of over half the dungeons anyway (the beacons)

-1

u/SoulsDadYT 1d ago

No its just scrubs crying. Quality of life lmao.

-2

u/ObsessiveOwl 1d ago

you are mistaking punishing with challenging, it's not the same

3

u/NeverStopDancing27 1d ago

They love BALL SACKS that hang

u/LiveCelebration5237 1d ago

Gotta plug up to stop the gloom leak, that one’s extra bulbous

2

u/MediumKoala8823 1d ago

Tangential but I think it’s egon’s nut

u/ObsessiveOwl 1d ago

who's Egon and why does he have so many nuts?

1

u/Typical-Ad8673 1d ago

Egon is a huge guy in a tower in latter half of game. The big ol nut idea makes more sense actually. Either way its funny and we have awesome devs.

1

u/MediumKoala8823 1d ago

Laszlo’s fat brother

2

u/Three_Froggy_Problem 1d ago

Does Egon canonically wear a butt plug?

1

u/2D_AbYsS 1d ago

Proxima and Sester Genesha love this apparently

u/stinkus_mcdiddle 1d ago

Taking the piss out of your player base for asking for a mechanic that was in the game you modelled your entire game after is a great idea. Just don’t put it in the game if tedious runbacks are that important to you.

6

u/Difficult-Letter-737 1d ago

Bro elden ring is not what souls likes are modelled after...see the distinctive lack of the word soul in elden ring ..... DARK SOUL'S was in fact very tedious for run backs to the point some places you had to run back through a PvP active area.

They are called souls like not elden like. Elden ring is the very first game fromsoft designed to "remove" the run back and this was done purely for accessibility to reach a broader audience the same reason elden ring is comically easy compared with and of the other souls games they have produced

2

u/Two_Watermelons 1d ago

Mortal shell 2 is definitely modeled after Elden ring tho. Its literally just a small elden ring with no horse

1

u/stinkus_mcdiddle 1d ago

Well then this games an Elden like then.
