In isolation, these 10 solitary assets are nothing more than slabs of low-poly lumber, but combined in the right configuration set teenage Harvey&#8217;s controller a-flying.<\/p>\n<p>It does remind me of just how savvy and efficient FromSoftware can truly be. While Elden Ring did catch a bit of flak for <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/souls-dataminer-shows-why-elden-rings-asset-re-use-is-actually-awesome\/\">its asset reuse<\/a>, it&#8217;s hard to overly complain when the end result left its mark on a generation of players\u2014it being one of the biggest games of its decade and all. That the game&#8217;s developers were able to cobble together its most infamous zone from a mere handful of planks is nothing short of inspiring. Also, terrifying.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, Grimrukh&#8217;s fun fact also came as a bit of a relief to those waiting for Nightfall, since <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/Grimrukh\/status\/1851375183246082249\" target=\"_blank\">his last tweet<\/a> was made in October of 2024, wherein he said &#8220;I&#8217;ve been hit with pneumonia immediately after getting back from an overseas trip and it&#8217;s not a fun time.&#8221; Instead, as he now reveals, he&#8217;s merely been locked in &#8220;Grim&#8217;s cave, where he is working on Nightfall almost every day and isn&#8217;t allowed to leave until it&#8217;s done.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m personally glad to hear he&#8217;s feeling better, even if I whole-heartedly resent him for informing me that I can have my blood pressure raised by 10 bits of muddily-textured digital scrap arranged just-so.
