I don’t think it’s glorifying it, it’s just making fun of how nefarious the CIA is

Into the breach but with the caveat that you have to have a fucking Netflix sub to play it for God knows why

Some people just like complicated rule sets that allow for complex character builds.

Plus the atmosphere design is top notch. Video game writing is usually shit, so instead of that the souls games just go with an immersive vibe instead of getting bogged down into specifics.

Think of it as a video game version of a tabletop campaign. Youre given a weird fantasy world, a bunch of rules to experiment and make a character to with, and some really good monsters to use your build against.

Idk it’s just fun to me and nothing really scratches that itch except ARPGs, but those are usually more RNG focused with randomized loot while souls game let’s you hyperfocus on an exact build.

desperately attempting to overcompensate their irl failures by succeeding in “hard” videogame challenges

Also lol. Same bullshit people say about TTRPG fans. “Oh you failed at real life so you need escapism.” What a chuddy thing to say.

I ended up watching it via renting DVDs from blockbuster (not even aging myself that much this was one of the few left after streaming and I had no internet) a few years ago and thought that was a decent way to watch it lol, since all the fucking cliffhangers didn’t matter cuz I could binge watch it

Lol what

We cherish human rights. That’s literally the whole point of being a commie.

so they’re swapping from blaming employees to blaming consumers. that’s something
