Have you ever seen on Twitter that when Silent Hill is trending topic, is always when it's super foggy out there and people say "Wow, this looks like Silent Hill". Yeah, that's the legacy of Keiichiro Toyama, Akira Yamaoka and Konami: always seeing "silent hill" trending on Twitter because there's fog. Pretty sure a lot more people are making the joke than playing the game.

Well, now we have another game that seems to be reaching that milestone of "Recurring joke when weather is bad". Have you ever reached Caelid from Elden Ring? Yeah, that orange sky part of the map. Well, that area has been trending on the Spain section of Twitter.

Is it because lot of people love that area? Heck no. Spain is suffering some Saharan calima, or haze... A lot of sand from the Sahara is on the air, basically; and the skies are pretty orange right now.

And thus,s earching the term Caelid, brings responses like this, claiming that they're living in Caelid.

Congrats to FromSoftware for becoming such a well wide loved developer. This is an example of videogames entering the mainstream.

What exactly is going on weather-wise tho?

And yeah, I was a little thrown when transported to that cave and high-tailed it to what luckily was the exit and came out to that shit haha.

I have some friends that understand the Silent Hill fog thing now, but were out of the loop for years.

So this is what it feels like.

This shot makes me think of modern video-art and similar indie videogames, as if it was some sort of filter.

It's so weird how mainstream games have become, though... Nowadays when I pass by a group of young men in the streets more often than not they're talking about games. Or maybe it's just that we're more conditioned to notice when it happens.

The difference is that SIlent Hill is an old IP while ER is the hot stuff.
It's a terrible comparison and everyone need to calm down with ER and FS in general.

To scare away a typical naked and crazed Caelid Man you have to make a circle shape with your arms which confuses them.

I'm from Morocco, the red sky has been more apparent here, but we have had this several times before. I don't get why it's suddenly something noteworthy.

It's because of heavy wind in Morocco carrying lots of sand in the air, making the sky look red. Apparently it's also visible in Spain. But it isn't that rare, perhaps people in Spain have never seen it before and it has never reached this far.

It has happen multiple times in Spain. Its not like a one per year thing, but its something thats not super rare at all. Sometimes its more pronounced than others.
Its only that people now can attatch a joke to it instead of just, oh the sky is orange.

I literally spend 2 minutes in Caelid, look at the scenery, hear the soundtrack of that area & nope right the hell out of there. Hopefully I'm not missing much, although I think a questline I want to tackle is in that direction.
