I'll add a clarification edit, thanks for pointing that out.

Your comment made me critically engage with this hellhole instead of being catty on the sidelines. Great work. I posted it in /c/bloomer if you're curious. No more seriousposting on ANY site for a few weeks, I've completed my quota.

Seems like it. From a structural standpoint, anyway. Reddit and Reddit alternatives aren't good for discussion - the upvote/downvote system is a blight. Metrics are a blight. The fact that the admins removed downvotes is probably the best part of this website (even though it resulted from another site-wide meltdown). Every time I pop in here things seem to get more chaotic, and no one actually seems to know how to fix it hahaha. For now they're just making a shitdumpster community to try and quarantine what's ailing the site. Not smart - they should learn how fermentation works! Vague platitudes of "non sectarianism" don't work when no one's willing to be an The Asshole. There's a difference between accepting everyone and letting everyone shit in your mouth lmao.

Of course, being The Asshole doesn't always work, either. My best regards to the admin team - good luck. I'll check back in a few days. Love this garbage.

hahahahahaha what does this site even want to be

The first half of Dark Souls is one of the best games ever made. The 2nd half is unironically worse than Code "bro look off of a cliff and find a hidden path lmao" Vein. In this way, I think DS2 is a truer sequel to DS1. Incredibly high highs, unbelievable lows. DS3 oftentimes feels too polished - if that makes sense. Weird and offputting is necessary for these games to work. Not to say DS3 is bad, but it doesn't really feel as rotten (positive connotation) as I think it sometimes wants to.

Bloodborne is the true superior sequel to DS1 because it actually represents a leap forward in both mechanical and aesthetic design. Nasty game, love it.
