Galloping Syphilis? Good God! That's worse than Trotting Gonorrhea! And I haven't seen any porn where a guy eats a chocolate bar while getting a BJ, but I won't rule out its existence.
The latter. Most of the people I associate with at least pronounce it with hard E sounds like in "bee"Bob_McMillan said:Wait, is that the way you Western folk pronounce "chibi", or is Yahtzee just too English?
He missed an entire "bucket".moosemaimer said:I can't help but feel like Yahtz missed a trick with the Brando reference.
I love Yahtzee's very English pronunciations of Japanese words. Not that I'm an expert on the language or anything but things like saying samurai "sam-you-rai" really stand out.twcblaze said:The latter.

This may sound like a curious question, but how aquatic are the environments in Salt and Sancturary? I've a particular fondness for the ocean and swamps as ideal locations for Dark Fantasy horror, and loved the Fishing Hamlet and Cove areas from Bloodborne and Darkest Dungeon respectively. S'n'S may have a cartoonish art-style, but I can overlook that if the in-game regions are a collection of salt-soaked, barnacle infested decaying ruins overlooking the cruel and unfathomable seas.ClockworkAngel said:This game is keeping me tide over until Dark Souls 3, even if in so many, many ways it's literally just "Dark Souls in 2D."
I do enjoy how it uses player corpses, though. Seeing them swinging from gallows or seeing their heads impaled on spikes in a boss's lair does more for me than Souls' bloodstains. (Not that I don't enjoy the bloodstains, mind.)
I haven't seen every area in the game yet (like the Mire of Stench mentioned in the review), but so far I haven't seen anything like those areas from Darkest Dungeon or Bloodborne. The first area features a beach and you can see the ocean, but beyond that, nothing like what you've described.Dragonlayer said:This may sound like a curious question, but how aquatic are the environments in Salt and Sancturary?

But I can say that as I've played, I've always been aware of the fact that I'm on an island, with the sea all around. Some of the areas have a misty or dreary atmosphere that reminds me that the sea is nearby. And one area of the game is a castle where it's always storming, which makes me think of what it might look like from the shoreline, or what the sea might look like from the castle. However, that's all just kinda in my own mind, and not necessarily because of the game itself.
Also (as an unsolicited suggestion) if you like the atmosphere of the Fishing Hamlet and the Cove, and enjoy the idea of cruel and unfathomable seas, you might look into a game called Sunless Sea. It's a rogue-like of sorts where you captain a ship and explore a vast, unknowable ocean. It's slower-paced than DD or Bloodborne, however, with lots of text, but it has a lot of the same imagery.
