The cheeks also say "left cheek" and "right cheek" lmao

EDIT: Does the neck say "Larian"?

EDIT: the full neck is "Larian Studios", amazing

I want to be so fucking angry but that's just clever.

[–] bane_killgrind@kbin.social 38 points 11 months ago

There's a bug report somewhere I bet.

"Face tattoo puzzle regression: only default text shows"

[–] BrianTheeBiscuiteer@lemmy.world 10 points 11 months ago

They kind of broke the fourth wall with Karlach. It'd be epic if there's an NPC out there that bursts out laughing when they see those tattoos.

You motherfucker. I was sat here for a minute like "Wait... whats the joke? I guess the image is loading... Oh you bastard."

[–] neoman4426@kbin.social 2 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Note, that's not the joke, wikia images are just weird. For whatever reason the ?cb=whatever bit causes hotlinking to fail. Stripping that leads to an image of a ...bouncer? from the show Gravity Falls with face tattoos reading "head" and "chin" https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/gravityfalls/images/3/35/S1e3_works_for_me.png

I was gonna post the same thing!

[–] SzethFriendOfNimi@lemmy.world 69 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Clever. Less chance for …. Cultural misunderstandings in some markets.

[–] Stamets@startrek.website 34 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (2 children)

True. I just had this whole image in my head for one of my characters. He had those tattoos and got them when he started worshipping Bhaal. Meanwhile they're just like... infernal IKEA instructions. Dunno whether to shake the hand of someone at Larian or slap them.

[–] Cylusthevirus@kbin.social 12 points 11 months ago

Imagine doing some elaborate deal with Raphael for the promise of greater power through understanding of infernal runes only to get this fucking translation done.

I would die laughing.

[–] WarmSoda@lemm.ee 5 points 11 months ago

Definitely fist bump

[–] tburkhol@lemmy.world 31 points 11 months ago (3 children)

Don't have any tattoos, myself, but now I kinda want to have "shoulder" runes on my shoulder. In case I ever forget.

[–] Stamets@startrek.website 25 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

You wake up, Durge style, and look around. Don't remember your name. No idea what you are. All you know is that you've been marked by infernal runes, engraved into your skin.

You search high and low and after much effort, and months of travel, you eventually stumble across a demon who is willing to trade a favor. In exchange for you making him a sandwich (with the crusts cut off), he will translate these hellish symbols.

"Shoulder."

"W... what?"

"It means shoulder."

"What the hells does that mean?"

"I don't know. I'm not the one who got the tattoo. I'm an infernal being not a psychic."

"But... why the fuck would I get tattoo of shoulder? It makes no sense!"

"In case you forgot?"

"Bruh. If I forget what my fucking limbs are called I'm pretty sure I have other matters that are going to be more pressing."

"Mmmike mmmwat?"

"Mother didn't teach you any manners?"

(Devil just chews, staring you in the eyes)

"Oh yeah. Of course. Well, wanna try that again?"

(big swallow) "What other matters would be more pressing than discovering the names of your various body parts?"

"Like wh... forget it. Okay. Well now what am I suppose to do."

"I dunno. Did you add mustard to this?"

"Yeah, it's a little extra zing. I mean I revolved my whole new personality around discovering this. I thought it would lead me to the secrets of my existence. Of who I was. Of what I went through. Of why I ended up here in the first place!"

"Huh. Well you should have made a deal for that."

"Fucking what."

"Well dude, I'm a devil. While I may not be a psychic, I can hook you up with one pretty easily."

"... Oh my sweet and sour Bahamut, what do you want?"

"Got any chips?"

[–] neoman4426@kbin.social 15 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I've always kind of wanted one that says something like "I don't know, I don't speak Japanese" in Japanese

[–] deus@lemmy.world 10 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

It doesn't have to mean anything as long as it looks cool. I'm gonna get me a tattoo that says "Japanese tattoo" in Japanese, would probably look like this: 日本のタトゥー

[–] Akasazh@feddit.nl 3 points 11 months ago

I have none, not don't desire a tattoo, however if pressed I'd do a Lorem Ipsum tattoo because, I'd like to meet people that got the joke.

[–] Hotdogman@lemmy.world 22 points 11 months ago

Top tier trolling. Simply marvelous.

[–] Anonymousllama@lemmy.world 22 points 11 months ago

Peak immersion

[–] macisr@sh.itjust.works 18 points 11 months ago

At least it doesn't say Damaged, or HaHaHaHa.

[–] Romanmir 17 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Missed opportunity for a “Drink your Ovaltine” reference.

[–] threelonmusketeers@sh.itjust.works 1 points 11 months ago

"A crummy commercial?"

[–] neuracnu@lemmy.blahaj.zone 15 points 11 months ago (1 children)
[–] ares35@kbin.social 9 points 11 months ago

that's what the tramp stamp says.

[–] GreenMario@lemm.ee 12 points 11 months ago

That's brilliant! If you been following Larian since Divine Divinity, this is classic Larian lol

[–] theodewere@kbin.social 11 points 11 months ago (1 children)

foolish mortals think this is some kind of game.. those labels allow the demons to take possession of you.. that's the point of writing the words in their language.. they can now use that face like a puppet..

[–] havokdj@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago
[–] fsxylo@sh.itjust.works 9 points 11 months ago

I think I finally know what tattoo I want.

"Left arm"

[–] Varyk@sh.itjust.works 7 points 11 months ago (1 children)

What do you think he says when people ask him what they mean?

[–] sexy_peach@feddit.de 5 points 11 months ago

that's hilarious

[–] thisisawayoflife@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago

I translated this as:

"burt is a slave driver and is going bald too"

[–] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 3 points 11 months ago

This is how I name characters and places when I write

[–] catmtking@lemm.ee 1 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)
