“Try feet, but...?”

The Many Feet of The Lands Between: A collection of the many feet you'll encounter on your journey through the Lands Between. [Steam Community][SFW] “Elden Ring is full of hard bosses, esoteric secrets, and weird exploits, but the current top guide on the game’s Steam page isn’t about any of that. It’s about feet. The fleshy pads come in all different shapes and sizes, and Elden Ring, like the Souls games before it, is full of them. So of course someone decided to document each pair, and now Steam users can’t get enough of them. “The Many Feet of The Lands Between,” reads the title of the current most popular guide. The collection, curated by Steam user Mister B, has over 70 entries, from Fia’s long narrow tootsies to the Mad Pumpkin Head’s gnarly arches. There are zero descriptions; it’s all just names and images, and it keeps getting updated with new content. The guide has a perfect five out of five stars and over 500 ratings.” [via: Kotaku]

Haha I admire their dedication. I had an idea to take pictures of every painting in videogames and make some kind of gallery of them, but I forgot after like 2 games so just have a few dozen screenshots of random game paintings.

have often thought that if the continued existence of humanity ever comes down to a situation in which the feet people gotta feet, we can all sleep easy knowing they're on the (foot) job (sorry)

Yesterday I knew next to nothing about these games. Now I know that there is a character named "Rykard, Lord of Blasphemy", which I guess means they swear a lot, and that they need a massive emergency pedicure

curiously, Rykard, Lord of Blasphemy does not have feet

perhaps this is why he wishes to eat god

ok so technically Rykard has feet but I don't think they should count

So is this game set in a fantasy world where shoes haven’t been invented?

Oh there are plenty of shoes! Lace-ups, boots, sandals, you name it. For some reason, though, the person who compiled this list only seems to be interested in bare feet. Odd.
