DDS Tarot Cards I Drew For One Of Its Anniversaries

is probably one those details that are just here to look cool and nothing else, it doesn't make that vishnu "non-vishnu" and they can stay there

Asking you because I can't find anything about it myself. What are those two long objects strapped onto Vishnu's back, near his shoulders? Are they non-specific items that represent snakes or do they have an established identity?

I have no idea!

Have seriously been wondering about these for the longest time. If you know what these could be, drop me a line!

um, in 1958, 14 years before pong, there was a game called “Tennis for Two”. it was created by American Physicist William Higinbotham.

*designs kaneko has ever made

People always asks "what's your favorite demon design", but rarely character designs. In a series known for its "unique" character design (mostly Kaneko's). What's your top 10 SMT character designs, regardless of story? (doesn't have to be the protagonist)

I answered Aleph a number of weeks ago but to be honest? I might have to add that my favorites overall might be this ensemble.

Add Roland, Jimenez, and Zelenin, too.

(almost) the entire intro cutscene!!!

Behold, your new overlord!

honestly a Warhammer collab could be kinda neat (though im mostly familiar with 40k) i like the concept of a space marine screaming "HERESY!!" when he see japanese teenagers summoning demons

Putting aside outliers like Sonic, what series would you think would be a good fit for a Dx2 collab?

Something that immediately comes to mind is Court of the Dead.It's basically a collection of lore to sell expensive statues and other merch of its collection of characters, but I like some of its designs:

I can't say I'm really in to the property, whose best days seem behind it, but it's more or less the American equivalent in quality/tone to the less-than-stellar JP series you'd see Dx2 collab with, like Seven Deadly Sins.

Ah, Dx2, you're the perennial "break glass in case of SMT main series doldrums," such as what we're in now.

The 2003 PlayStation 2 RPG Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne contains unused dialogue seemingly spoken by Luigi in its files. It is part of a text file containing placeholder messages for a negotiation system, with the Luigi message being called "DUMMY_SUCCESS_INFO", indicating that it was a placeholder for succeeding in persuading a character to divulge information.

Why Luigi was chosen for this is unclear, especially due to the lack of Mario references in the rest of the game and code.

King Dedede gijinka! So now, the full RTDL set is complete! (unless you count the other 3 kirbys. Idk how to portray them though, I don’t think they should just be recolored Kirby clones bc I like the idea that Kirby changes color when using abilities like in NIDL and Super Star… so it’d get confusing if the other Kirbys looked exactly like the main Kirby)

As you could probably guess, Dedede is the oldest of the group. I imagine he’s something like a father figure to Bandanna Dee (and all the other Waddle Dees perhaps, since they are mostly his henchmen). Unlike the other 3, Dedede doesn’t tend to dress lighter for adventures & usually just wears the same outfit. He is prone to changing hammers though, since he’s always open to improve his weapon’s functionality. The hammer he’s got here is actually pretty small by his standards, he usually prefers to keep a heavier one on hand. 

I like to think of Dedede as a part-time hero, part-time villain. I think he’s capable of being a good guy when he wants to, and when Dreamland is in danger from an outside force, but… sometimes he just likes to cause trouble when things get too peaceful, because he finds it boring. LOL. Tbh I still like the idea that he’s the self-proclaimed king of Dreamland (like they didn’t have a monarchy before he arrived LOL) so I think I’ll keep it. Plus, clearly he’s at least semi-decent at being king, since even outside threats from elsewhere in the universe can recognize him as one (…even if they do end up kidnapping or possessing him because of it)! Also,

Dedede is balding, so he’s really adamant about keeping the hat on, even underwater. Though I’m still trying to string together a kirby series timeline (Super Star, Squeak Squad, & Amazing Mirror are RLLY hard to place for me) I imagine Dedede used to have a full head of hair back in his old days (Dreamland thru Dreamland 3 perhaps? Since I imagine they took place in succession) but it eventually fell out over time. Perhaps as a result of stress from Dark Matter possession? since that happens to him a lot.

Speaking of the Kirby timeline, do you see Kirby’s Dreamland and Kirby Super Star Ultra’s Spring Breeze subgame as separate events or the same event? Personally, I think they’re different enough to be separate & perhaps when Kirby finds out about Dedede’s plan in Spring Breeze he’s like “HOW COULD YOU DO THIS AGAIN??” & Dedede’s like “I was bored, okay??!!” or smth lol
