      Me when I want to enjoy a conversation with someone who went through the same difficult game:

    Probably never learned Blackflame, too.

    There will come a time in your life as well when you value it more than the satisfaction of finally having killed that boss after four hours.

      And then that day comes, I’ll watch someone good at the game play rather than lobbying to cheapen it for everyone.

      Me, playing doom: easy mode, tearing through hordes of demons, having a good time.

      Me, playing any other game: okay, what’s the highest difficulty I can force myself upon

      I’m glad you did, I fully expected the bad at games crowd to overwhelm the hard workers :)

    You went to edgy, if it said something like “No, thats not okay, you must sweat so much at every game that all enjoyment is strangled in your stone cold quest to be the best”

      This post is for the whiners who want Soulslikes with easy difficulty. The difficulty is the point, the improvement.

      They’d rather cheapen it for everyone than watch a let’s play video.

        No one is cheapening it. Miyazaki doesnt care. Smell the poison swamp feet.

          Player 1: Spent an hour memorizing attack patterns to finally clutch the w after trudging through a poison swamp

          Player 2: Three-taps the boss in god-mode after ignoring the environment

          Did Player 1 and Player 2 really play the same game?

            Idk, chief. It seems to me that difficulty selections aren’t in FromSoft soulslikes. So your entire argument makes no fucking sense.

            But do indulge, did they both launch Some_Fucking_Soulslike_With_Difficulty_Selection.exe? Then they are in fact playing the same game and can probably summon each other.

              You’re the one making it about FromSoft soulslikes. I’m talking Soulslikes in general. They ain’t soulslikes if you have an easy mode.

                Hard pass. This sounds like the talk of gods. Those of us who follow the dark have no concern over matters such as “worthiness”

                  Claim the mantle of Dark, do ye? Thinkst thou ye may claim Lordship by right rather than might? You speak like the Gods, born into their might with little struggle.

                  Take it. A gift for a friend so ye may learn the way.

    Their enjoyment of the medium brings me joy, idc about their ability. It’s not like it’s immoral to be bad at Dota, and I don’t have money on them getting gud either. 🤷

      You can be bad at dota, but if you queue into the English queue can you please for the love of God. SPEAK ENGLISH.

      the game has a language based queue for a god damn reason.

      I don’t speak French so I don’t queue into the French queue and hurl racist insults at the French for not understanding English.

      So why does every fucking Spanish speaker that does speak in the English queue seem to be dead set on insulting every English speaker.

      I don’t even talk in matches, I’m just so tired of seeing it and it tilting my allies into oblivion.

      I’m starting to think riot was right. Gamers shouldn’t be allowed the privilege of speaking. It never turns out well in mobas.

        Someone didn’t go to PC cafés with 20+ friends to play Dota and CS after school and yell profanities left, right and center and it shows! And don’t worry, they’re also insulting each other, lol.

        But honestly, if you can’t handle people getting spicy and being overtaken by their emotions sometimes (in whatever language it may be), just mute them. I did that with LoL (and I also muted myself not to be a troublemaker cause I used to get verbally abusive…) back when I played.
