Here's another lighting change between the original Dark Souls & the remaster, this time for the worse. While the remaster is known for having some issues with the lighting, I should clarify that the particular kind of change seen here is actually quite rare, which is why I find it interesting:

Dark Souls, Prepare to Die edition is on the left, comparison screenshot from Dark Souls remastered is on the right. The hallway was made a little brighter in the remaster, but things overall look more washed out, and the enemy in the hallway became harder to see, blending in instead of being contrast against a dark background.

Here's a pretty subtle lighting change between vanilla and the Dark Souls remaster: They made the exit to the Asylum Demon's room a little brighter by adding a point light floating in front of it. It illuminates the doorway itself a bit better, and also lights the ground in front of it.

Something I'm ultra curious to learn about, but will have to check in with proper data miners, I wonder if there's any direct evidence of online messages healing the player being dummied out or broken in Dark Souls 1? It's the only Souls game to not do anything for upvoted messages & that's weird.

Lindsey Graham spoke to Mitch McConnell for 20 minutes yesterday. Both Senators confirmed they’re in very high spirits and doing well despite how hot it is in Hell.
