Its ok to not master anything and just enjoy learning about different goings

maybe that's part of the issue, too many people focused on them winning, not enough having fun and enjoying their time with others.

I raised my daughters like that try anything and do it if you enjoy it, better to find something you enjoy and be happy

I am still dreaming of the day I meet an archeologist so I can ask them the difference between archeology and grave robbery.

I have this attitude about life, unfortunately capitalism has decided that lifestyle means perpetual poverty

You’re conflating “you can enjoy things you’re bad at” with “life is fine if you never bother to get good at your chosen profession”

3 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 2

Im not, you've just misunderstood me. I enjoy doing lots of different jobs, and that means I never "climb the ladder" at one place.

3 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

That’s just another way of saying “life is fine if you never get good at your chosen profession”. Which is not what Vonnegut was saying.

This is also a good argument for playing games at an easier difficulty so you enjoy them more.

Deep rock galactic. I play on hazard 2 because I want to play with my friends who aren't good. I play hazard 5 solo. difficulty goes 1-6

as someone who plays on tryhard difficulties, full agree. no one should be forced to suffer my masochistic gaming preferences.

This. I'm old. Don't have time for games much. I modded Elden Ring's easy mode, having such a blast.

I'd rather finish a game on easy than get frustrated and give up when the devs finally get lazy and add cheesy difficulty ramps.

That's me. Idgaf about how hard it is.. I just want to experience the story more like a movie and not a challenge.

Plus sometimes you'll earn more powerful items and weapons to use on harder difficulties if you want. It's what I did Bayonetta 1&2 and RE5

I am a firm believer that every game should have an "easy" mode. Even if thats not the intended experience.

3 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 1

I've started to embrace this idea as I've gotten older and my reflexes slowed. Games are meant to be fun, enjoy them!

I consume FromSoft games like oxygen, I also play building/survival type games with creative mode on. Sometimes you just wanna make a thing.

This is why I like MMOs that allow high level characters to solo old raid content instead of scaling it. I don’t enjoy group raiding.

True. But if you think a game I make is too hard or too easy leave feedback, even negative reviews are appreciated. But please don't 1/2

pretend me not pandering exactly to you is a moral failing. Same with genre/story/characters/mechanics. 2/2

Right, that's what mods are for ? poor game devs, you give your heart & soul to make a game and people demand your first born as well!

3 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 2

But the difficulty of From Soft games is holy! Anyone wanting an easier time should be beaten with a sack of door knobs for blasphemy! /s

That’s how I play games. I dont like the feeling of adrenaline unless im on a rollercoaster

Yes. There is a place for both a more relaxed experience, and a more difficult one. Play how you like, games are supposed to be fun.

This is why I love the addition of journey mode in Terraria! 700 hours and I could never beat the first hardmode boss. Journey mode made it>

Bad take but most games should have an easy mode but Darksouls and Dark Souls like games shouldn't.

3 years ago | Likes 5 Dislikes 3

I totally disagree. They need a "story" mode where there are few fights and the fights are easier

3 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 2

Granted I say that there should be ways to make the games easier like exploting bugs, mechanics or broken synergies but

Not a toggle that lowers enemy health, damage, or dumbs down AI for a blanket easier challenge. I am piss poor a DS like games but that is

Part of fun in overcoming challenge and adversity in defeating a challenging boss or getting through a difficult area. Lake of Rot not fun

I have a question. If they put in an story mode in their next game that reduced the number and difficulty of fights, whould you use it?
