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.

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.

Very impressive

truly feels like an alien fantasy world not just medieval fantasy earth.

This is what I love about Morrowind. It really gave me a sense of wonder and strangeness, at a whole new world to explore.

The successors are good games, too, but much more familiar. They fit right in with if you’re used to cliche high fantasy / DnD settings.
