Off My Chest

RULES:


I am looking for mods!


1. The "good" part of our community means we are pro-empathy and anti-harassment. However, we don't intend to make this a "safe space" where everyone has to be a saint. Sh*t happens, and life is messy. That's why we get things off our chests.

2. Bigotry is not allowed. That includes racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, and religiophobia. (If you want to vent about religion, that's fine; but religion is not inherently evil.)

3. Frustrated, venting, or angry posts are still welcome.

4. Posts and comments that bait, threaten, or incite harassment are not allowed.

5. If anyone offers mental, medical, or professional advice here, please remember to take it with a grain of salt. Seek out real professionals if needed.

6. Please put NSFW behind NSFW tags.

seeth over it for some reason

I told you what that reason was though, and you ignore it in favour of imagining strangers as entirely unreasonable antagonists.

Seething over someone wanting to enjoy a game they bought is unreasonable. Some people get pissed at the suggestion it should have an easier mode.

Accessibility takes nothing away from the way those players want to play Souls games. Simple, small adjustments to enemy health, damage, invincibility frames, and speed could go a very long way to making the game worth the money people paid for it.

It's especially frustrating that Elden Ring was constantly pitched as the most accessible souls game, but it's still not nearly as accessible as fans and reviewers made it out to be.

Do they really though? Or are you just imagining the people you argue with online in the least charitable light?

Have you been on Reddit? I'm not saying this is the ER community as a whole by any means. My entire whole point is "why does anyone care how I or anyone else wants to play a single player game" even if it's only a few people. I've seen comments verbally berating players for saying they wished there was an easier mode. Yes they're the minority but my point was never "all players are like this".
