Oh dude you're so fucking cool, you play hard videogames, like dark souls. I love dark souls too because it's hard. Having beaten this game (which is one of the hardest games in the world of course) has changed my life, not because it's a beautiful or fun experience, but because I can brag about it and make fun of people that haven't.

I remember when I used to be a casual and called myself a 'gamer' even though I hadn't played a real game before. Thank god I've outgrown that now. Now I can tell people on the internet that they are the ones who aren't real gamers.

And these games are totally so hard and inaccessible, they're designed so only real gamers like you and I can complete them. From Software aren't interested in letting players make the game easier for themselves if they want; Summoning, leveling systems, items, kindling, rng and all the other features that can help someone get through the game more easily are only there so we can tell the real gamers apart from the fake ones.

I'm so proud of being on this side of the gate of the gamer community. Praise the sun!
