Howdy howdy howdy!

I honestly can't stop greeting people like this, even though I've never stepped foot in a place where it doesn't snow

A hundred percent, but the fact remains that journalists have a very hard time supporting themselves in their profession. A job that is critical (when done well) to an informed public.

It must be depressing knowing you could just take a TypeScript React bootcamp and probably double salary in a year. Like, journos have an important job. It's just not lucrative, despite its value to people/society.

Just do your best.

First time with one of these? They are pretty cool, yeah

Pretty accurate to the story, now that I actually read it.

Haha yeah, I remember we disagreed on something, but now I can't remember what. Can't have been too fundamental, anyway -- see you around!

That sounds very healthy.

Oh hey sugar_in_your_tea - I'm starting to recognize you from a couple of other comment threads in this community :)

I agree that the game falls apart without challenge, but the challenge will vary by player, especially those of different abilities. So while I wouldn't use them (until I get older and slower maybe), I support the addition of optional accessibility options in Souls games. They aren't a fun little experiment anymore - they're a proven formula, and I believe it can survive tweaking.

I agree with the person you were replying to, and I am glad that the Souls formula isn't the norm (I've played all of them, and haven't finished a one)...

But the Soulses get a pass from me personally, because their whole thing is about being present in the moment and overcoming what appear to be unbeatable odds. It's the closest thing in modern gaming that gave me the feeling of being crushed by, and overcoming, the first Airship level in Mario 3.

That said, I'm not against accessibility option in a Souls game, so long as they're optional.
