@Daemons No Man's Sky - The Cursed expedition.

Lasting only two weeks because they simply HAVE to be annoying (nope, the fact this is "Halloween event" is not an excuse to cut the usual time in half)

Also featuring the "Not-a-Metroid" you saw above....

The "Not-Millennium-Falcon" exclusive reward ship...

(for reference:)

The "Not-a-mind-flayer" helmet ...

The "Not-FF7-Remake-Whisperer"

> ghostly creatures drifting across the boundaries – will gather to watch Travellers moving through their domain. Most of the time, they are simply there to observe, but be warned: as your suit’s Anomaly Suppressor weakens, time will begin to behave in non-linear ways, and these anomalies may turn hostile.

and more importantly the Totally-Not-Lore-Related "Water potion"

> For those that reach the end of the journey, its final trial will require a drink from the Elixir of Water – and the consequences thereafter.

Because Water in NMS is TOTALLY not related to Void Mother.

@Daemons That is indeed Frieren. As for the reason, it represents a change of sentiment

@SPArcheon-onstrike “What “creative redesigns”? I don’t see any “creative redesigns”…”

Also, what’s the sentiment change (if you want to share)?

@Daemons oh, well, I am perfectly fine with "references". It is not like NMS is trying to look like Star Wars just because a ship looks like the Millennium Falcon, nor it is trying to abuse the Star Wars fame and look&feel to confuse players into thinking this is a Star Wars game. Now, if this was a game about mons that you can catch into balls, give guns, torture and mentally abuse... that would be different and I wouldn't be so surprised if someone sued me.

@Daemons As for Frieren.... are you familiar with Genshin lore?

Short version: in Genshin there is a tree that somehow controls reality: if you change the records here you can change history to a degree. But the tree is not perfect: it can even change books and written records but it can't change what was written as an allegory. For that reason a character that coincidentally looks like Frieren has took of an habit to hide relevant story events that may risk deletion inside fables.

This was why for a while I had that character - Nahida - as an avatar and this profile

@SPArcheon-onstrike “a game about mons that you can catch into balls, give guns, torture and mentally abuse...” You know, something about that sounds ever so familiar, but I don’t know why.

@SPArcheon-onstrike Oh cool, game lore in profile. And about being familiar with Genshin lore… I’ve played the game a very small amount, but that’s not it. The extent of my knowledge was that you play as the traveler(?), who is special for some reason.

@Daemons this was a troll for the anime chatroom but you probably get the reference

@SPArcheon-onstrike MIMIC! ITS A MIMIC!! RUN FOR YOUR LIFE!!!
