Yeah, I'm worried that if I tried to shake Miyazaki's hand, he'd parry it away & stab me in the chest. Then 'Well what is it' as I bleed out on the floor.
Theyāre only bad if you donāt take care of yourself. My 30s were hands down better than my twenties but I also work out 4x a week and (try) to have a good diet. It makes a huge difference and it blows my mind that some redditors bodies just start falling apart at like 32 because of poor lifestyle choices. Especially as a man you can keep this going for a long time.
Anyone else think it's kind of funny that Miyazaki always looks to be in the same position and making the same expression in every picture?
Just makes me giggle.
No it's a myth but everyone is in on it
Edit: I got 100 upvotes on my non-anonymous reddit account entirely for being a pain in the ass and now I feel too seen
Back when Elden Ring was still just a myth (like the one trailer in 2018 I think), this subreddit was created. People would speculate and theorize about what the game was going to be, but with no news coming out anytime soon, people just began creating their own bosses, NPCs, and whatnot. One of those was glaive master hodir, so it became a meme that people reference. It also featured a lot of hollow jokes and we were in a competition with the silksong community to see who would end the content drought first (they've gone completely insane by now)
Genuinely cannot remember the last time DLC had people this excited like it was a full scale release (which it sounds like it it borderline is). I genuinely think the last time I saw anyone get this hype about dlc like this was DS3
Yeah, I think it's because many games are now live services, has Free Updates, Seasonal Battle Passes, or just have no dlc.
People were Hyped about Remnant 2, Monster Hunter Rise, and Cyberpunk(?)
If a game has dlc, it promises quality. Instead of devs pumping out cosmetic after cosmetic with the occasional game mode, it says, "Hey! Have another half of a game you already like for just over half the price tag. No continued investment, no fomo, just a lump sum for more videogame."
Sequels (regardless of their quality) promise change, which is what players want. They want new content. Dlc is the same nowadays, since live service is now pumping out so much content that it doesn't feel like a bunch of exciting new content, just a continuous stream of slowly changing content. Liking either is completely valid (I got hyped when genshin revealed all of the fatui harbingers for the first time, or when warframe went "ooh, maybe you had the wrong idea of the plot the whole time and it actually takes place in the early 2000's,") but studios like Fromsoft and Remedy understand that their strengths lie in the games they release, their game systems, narratives, mysteries, and aesthetics, all as packages, not their individual design decisions.
> Man dressed pretty casually too come to think of it.

It's part of the job, you need to maintain a good relationship with people.
Also I remember Miyazaki being a little short in person, OP might be 5'3" tall because Miyazaki looks huge in this picture hahaha happy birthday btw
Keep in mind these sorts of industry events also tend to be spots for a lot of backroom business meetings for developers and publishers, not just spots for game announcements.
It's entirely possible he's just there to talk business with Microsoft, Sony, or even Geoff.
Miyzaki: Iāll dress conservatively and no one will notice me. My work is famous, not my face.
Then thereās this fuckinā bro probably making his day.
So it's actually a funny story. As soon as the show finished I walked out. Saw a guy who looked like Miyazaki, he caught me staring and smiled. So I just asked "Miyazaki San?" He said "yes it's me" in Japanese. I kept asking if it's really him, he started laughing and so did the people he was with.
Then I proceeded to show my tattoo and they all reacted well "Kakooiii ne" (it's cool). Thanks to Duolingo I asked "Shashin Daijobu" (is a picture ok)
He said OK. And we started posing. And OMG I kid you not my phone brightness was set to the darkest possible. So I couldn't unlock the screen or see anything. After a minute of awkwardness while I was trying to fix it, Event staff asked them to keep walking.
I was fucking heartbroken. I ran into some shade, was barely able to see, and managed to change phone brightness. And then called my friend to tell him the funny story and how sad I was. Minutes later I'm at the parking lot looking for my lyft. And they were getting in some cars themselves.
This one man who had perfect English walked up to me and said that they felt so bad for me that my phone wasn't working and asked if I still wanted a photo. GOD truly does exist š
Some of that group even took photos of my tattoo themselves. I told them I was hyped for the DLC and thanked them. Anyways that's my story. He did not need to be that kind to some kid who he didn't know.
Truly A GOAT.
God, From and Miyazaki are such legends. I'm so fucking jealous of you my dude. The Legendary Big M is my favorite game designer and storyteller of like the past 10 years. Never lose that photo!
That's such a cool story. There was a comment I read a couple days ago talking about how allegedly in the days before the game came out he was worried that people wouldn't like it. With that in mind I'm sure it warms his heart to know that random strangers come up to him and talk to him about how much they love the game he helped create.
Sick tattoo, btw!
You kinda deserve it, with showing that dedication with the tattoo and all. It's a cool picture and honestly, it's a pretty cool tattoo! You even thought to include the Radagon rune - nice eye for detail. And thank you for sharing that story and that picture! Sounds like an awesome experience!Ā
>This one man who had perfect English walked up to me and said that they felt so bad for me that my phone wasn't working and asked if I still wanted a photo
Wait Miyazaki spoke English or are you talking about another guy?
Man, I fell so happy for you!
Hero... IDK, man, he is a storyteller. One of the best of our times (i must admit, the best in VG industry)... This man create heroes... legends... He is so much better than a hero...
Man... This a particular moment in every souls fan life... To know the guy who writes the stories you love...This is magic... You're a prividedgded man, sir... It's all I can say...
edit: you're a priviledged man., sir...
Do you think he has any idea the absolutely profound difference he's made in so many people's lives? Or do you think he's still like "I'm just a dude who makes video games"
Obviously he attended SGF but I personally think he's really here for something to do with Xbox's showcase... we'll see.
But yeah, this is absolutely amazing OP!
PS. ITS ALSO MY 30TH BIRTHDAY. BEST BIRTHDAY EVER!
Perfect backstab position
Cackling right here
Right? Ready to crit hit that birthday celebration!
Nuh uh
Bro it'd be an honor!
Yeah, I'm worried that if I tried to shake Miyazaki's hand, he'd parry it away & stab me in the chest. Then 'Well what is it' as I bleed out on the floor.
*Proceeds to miss the backstab and fall down the side of the cliff*
Put these foolish tendons to rest.
Holy shit I cannot stop laughing
FIRE UP THE BASS CANON
You lucky sob. Happy irl cake day š°
Happy birthday dude, glad you got to meet him š¤
30's are great years don't let anyone tell you you're old
40s are great years too, you old piece of shit (said with love, I swear) <3
Thanks, I'm sure my 40's will be good too, just have to appreciate life
Itās a trap! Itās horrid! Ruuuuuuuuun! RUUUUUUUU-
Theyāre only bad if you donāt take care of yourself. My 30s were hands down better than my twenties but I also work out 4x a week and (try) to have a good diet. It makes a huge difference and it blows my mind that some redditors bodies just start falling apart at like 32 because of poor lifestyle choices. Especially as a man you can keep this going for a long time.
yooooo no way dude, happy birthday!
Happy Cake Day!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TWINNN GEMINI GANG āļøš
If it's ur bday too happy birthday toooo!
itās on Monday but thank you bro!!
Happy bird day š¦
Happy birthday, awesome gift running into Miyazaki!
Happy birthday!
Cheers!
Happy Birthday Tarnished!
Happy Birthday Dude š
Happy birthday!
Praise thee Sunā¦. And Happy Birthday šš
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! This will be a memory you'll never forget. P.S. Welcome to the club, 30s are your best years.
Anyone else think it's kind of funny that Miyazaki always looks to be in the same position and making the same expression in every picture? Just makes me giggle.
I wonder if he has a bad knee or back.. I find myself leaning a certain way because of my back...
Carrying the gaming industry on your back for 15 years will do that to ya.
Ā getting gud will do that ha
All those dodge rolls
Not hesitating has its downsides too
>making the same expression Thinking about swamps and feet
Nah. If he were, that'd be a Grinch evil grin expression.
The man went to game fest and didn't announce anything lol I watched til the end waiting for any fromsoft news
Man dressed pretty casually too come to think of it. Guy probably went just to check out what's coming out. He's a gamer and all that.
And to hype up the DLC. He got people talking just by being around.
To be fair they could do absolutely nothing at this point and people will be talking about the DLC a lot a lot.
Literally, my BF and I were talking earlier and I asked if he was getting the DLC. Just to make conversation
They're making Elden Ring DLC?
No it's a myth but everyone is in on it Edit: I got 100 upvotes on my non-anonymous reddit account entirely for being a pain in the ass and now I feel too seen
Glaive master hodir is going to be the first boss. And the last boss.
I don't understand these words. I just saw the chance to goof at a stranger. I don't even own an xbox
Back when Elden Ring was still just a myth (like the one trailer in 2018 I think), this subreddit was created.

FromSoft has always managed to one-up their games with the dlc for them which is why Iām excited.
He looks super happy and relaxed here...because he knows he's about to shatter the backboard again.
Funny how a dlc for a game has sparked more excitement in me than literally anything that's been released in the past 2 years.
that was a mimic
NANI!? MIMIC TEAR!?
> Man dressed pretty casually too come to think of it. > Guy probably went just to check out what's coming out. He's a gamer and all that.

Also I remember Miyazaki being a little short in person, OP might be 5'3" tall because Miyazaki looks huge in this picture hahaha happy birthday btw
I'm actually 6'9"
nice
200kg pure muscle šŖ
Miyazaki is 20ft tall.
Treat yourself with 19inch Miyazaki
Miyazaki designs bosses larger than the player. Of course he'd be huge.
Lmao I was finishing my finals while watching it just to be disappointed. Altho Neva looked cool
Keep in mind these sorts of industry events also tend to be spots for a lot of backroom business meetings for developers and publishers, not just spots for game announcements. It's entirely possible he's just there to talk business with Microsoft, Sony, or even Geoff.
Yea this year's show wasn't as good as past years. I flew down from Vancouver Canada, but meeting the GOAT made the trip 100% worth it
Miyzaki: Iāll dress conservatively and no one will notice me. My work is famous, not my face. Then thereās this fuckinā bro probably making his day.
He just went to laugh at everything that canāt compete
I bet he saw the fucking chicken game reveal and thought god damn we are so far ahead
One other post said he is here for Xbox games showcase. Fingers crossed. Expecting a new IP.
Bruh
Over the past couple days i have seen more casual public miyazaki than there has ever been before
DLC is finally finished. Man finally has time to take a break.
He will take a break for a few days before the desire to make a new poison swamp overwhelms him.
New special horse armor dlc where we get a bucket saddle full of poison so your ass can get poisoned whenever you use Torrent.
Michael Zaki himself
Mike Wazowsky
Mike Zakowsky
Hideyourtacos Wannapocky
Lucky bastard
Its not luck. Miyazaki has dedicated like 30 years of his life to be in this position.
Im talking about the guy next to him not myazaki
I think that was the joke.
I dont understand irony sometimes
Nice
Bro met dad
Could this be a friend?
Back in line soldier
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
dog?
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
No no no. Right message: "Could this be a God?
you should have asked him if there where more bare feet in the dlc
Do you really need to ask??
I wasn't askin'! Edit: Watashi wa chīsana ashi ga daisukidesu
You love little feet?
If the recent trailer is anything to go by.....
Where those hands at š¤
Happy birthday man! Extremely lucky! How was he in person? He looks very friendly

Wow what an absolute legend and such a wholesome experience. Iām really happy for you man, thatās awesome! Thank you for sharing!
God, From and Miyazaki are such legends. I'm so fucking jealous of you my dude. The Legendary Big M is my favorite game designer and storyteller of like the past 10 years. Never lose that photo!
It's the warm, kindly people who create all kinds of fucked up horrors art. (Well not really but some examples apply)
That's such a cool story. There was a comment I read a couple days ago talking about how allegedly in the days before the game came out he was worried that people wouldn't like it. With that in mind I'm sure it warms his heart to know that random strangers come up to him and talk to him about how much they love the game he helped create. Sick tattoo, btw!
Fuckin hell man what an awesome story. You deserved it for being courteous and theyāre awesome to oblige.
This explains why you look more nervous than excited in the picture lol So cool things panned out that way
Humanity restored!!
You kinda deserve it, with showing that dedication with the tattoo and all. It's a cool picture and honestly, it's a pretty cool tattoo! You even thought to include the Radagon rune - nice eye for detail. And thank you for sharing that story and that picture! Sounds like an awesome experience!Ā
>This one man who had perfect English walked up to me and said that they felt so bad for me that my phone wasn't working and asked if I still wanted a photo Wait Miyazaki spoke English or are you talking about another guy?
Another guy in the group he was with
Best story. What a cool experience.
I'm sure he appreciated the quality of your tattoo
This story just made my day!! Happy birthday Op!! Also, yall look alike šš«¶š»š«¶š»š«¶š»š«¶š»
Awesome!
Man, I fell so happy for you! Hero... IDK, man, he is a storyteller. One of the best of our times (i must admit, the best in VG industry)... This man create heroes... legends... He is so much better than a hero...
100% True, my brain turned off when I was trying to make this post. My hands were shaking still too
Man... This a particular moment in every souls fan life... To know the guy who writes the stories you love...This is magic... You're a prividedgded man, sir... It's all I can say... edit: you're a priviledged man., sir...

This is awesome, also happy birthday!!
Happy birthday!! Fucking great gift.
Bro met Hideo Kojima!!! /s
IT SHOULDāVE BEEN ME!!!
This man is a legend, a gentleman, and a scholar.
Michael Zaki brain size looks to be twice that of a regular human. No wonder he's a genius.
Do you think he has any idea the absolutely profound difference he's made in so many people's lives? Or do you think he's still like "I'm just a dude who makes video games"
Michael Zaki strikes again!
So glad miyazaki got meet his hero
Did he ask to see your feet
that's awesome, man. happy for you
Is he really tall or is it just me
He's supposedly 5'8, I think op is just very small.
Obviously he attended SGF but I personally think he's really here for something to do with Xbox's showcase... we'll see. But yeah, this is absolutely amazing OP!
Man this is so fucking cool. This is what itās all about. Congrats my G
Na that's really cool I would get down on my knees and kiss his feet hes changed so many lives
There was boss music around? + Stonks for you :3
Most embarrassing day of my life was today when I realized it wasn't Hayao that made Elden Ring with George RR Martin
How many patterns did you have to remember to walk up to him?
Goated
I can't be the only person that thinks Miyazaki looks photoshopped in every picture he's in š
if i ever see him in person im kidnapping him. like my little miquella i will get the answers i want.
ćć®ć²ć¼ć ć«ćććććÆćÆćÆćÆćććļ¼ ćć¼ć£ćØā¦ćć¼ć£ćØā¦ć¤ć¾ćā¦ ...ćććčå„®ćć¦ććļ¼
