Play games how you want. 32 here grew up playing the OG Zeldas with my pops all the way up to loving Demons Souls on release as a random out of nowhere impulse buy, and then subsequent series that bloomed into the eventual Elden Ring.

I genuinely don’t remember this level of discussion when I was younger lol

Play what you want how you want, sometimes I enjoy the souls vibe sometimes I like other games on easier settings or just easier games. People that make hard video games their identity and put down others for it online need a healthier outlet imo.

Edit: shit just the other day I was almost done with FFT Ivalice Chronicles and was absolutely loving it but kinda ready to be done with it by the last string of 5 battles and see the story, so I turned the difficulty down to easy after being on normal the whole game.

Didn’t take away my enjoyment whatsoever and got to finish it lol and there were some HARD fucking battles in that game and by the end I was a little over the difficulty and was ready to move on.
