tbf if there’s one woman I expect to encounter on 4chan it’s her
samus12345@lemm.ee 2 months ago
No, if this were her then her bf would have paid someone else to play the game for him.

Fake. Women don’t use 4chan
slaacaa@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Anon never mentioned their gender, so it can also be real and gay.

I knew a girl that went on 4chan.
She didn’t seem to understand that trolling doesn’t work IRL and that was kind of her entire persona, It was like babysitting an adult. You’d hang out with her for her own good, so the world wouldn’t attack her. Then one day my friend and her broke up and that was that. NFI. Don’t even remember her name, just how weird she was.

Nah, who would date a neckbeard?
djsoren19@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 months ago
I’m just gonna put this anecdote out there:
When I first started dating my ex, I wanted him to play through some Dark Souls to see if he had any determination. He failed completely and whined a lot, but I kept dating him anyway. Nearly 5 years later, I ended up leaving him, and a big part of it was his defeatist outlook and complete lack of willpower.
I’m not saying being bad at Dark Souls is a red flag, but I think girlie would be justified in getting out now.
Zozano@aussie.zone 2 months ago
I’ve 100%'d all 3 souls games.
Can we date (As an experiment)? I suspect dating someone with the obsessive qualities to do this is also frustrating.
djsoren19@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 months ago
I’ve only 100%'d DS1, so I’m pretty impressed by your ability. I’m not obsessive enough over most of the franchise to get 100%, namely because there’s sections of DS2 and DS3 I don’t love replaying, but I love DS1 to death so I wanted to have the Dark Soul achievement.
Anyway, if you wanna shoot your shot dm me, just know you gotta be cool with bussy.
Gurei@sh.itjust.works 2 months ago
Did he try finger but hole?
djsoren19@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 months ago
Y’know it was another one of his failings, not really? He was very big on railing me, but not super big on lubing me up properly with his fingers first.
savedbythezsh@sh.itjust.works 2 months ago
But here’s the thing - I didn’t enjoy dark souls when I tried, but I do enjoy other games that are very difficult for me and where I need to be determined to win
djsoren19@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 months ago
That’s fair, and that’s why I stayed with him for 5 years after watching him ragequit after losing 15 times to Asylum Demon. I was hopeful that it was just him bouncing off the game, and I also assumed he’d have other moments where he could show me what he was worth under stress. He never did, and eventually I became fully responsible for the both of us.
Like I said, being bad at DS isn’t a red flag. Having no determination and constantly giving up at the first sign of adversity is a red flag. There’s a very faint correlation between the two, but that’s all.
Amanduh@lemm.ee 2 months ago
Sounds like he dodged a bullet
JPAKx4@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 months ago
I don’t think he dodged much, that was the issue.
luciferofastora@feddit.org 2 months ago
It’s probably more seeing how he reacts when frustrated that’s the red flag.
If he kept his composure until he eventually stopped playing and said “I don’t think this is my type of game”, that would have been a more mature approach to the issue than whining.
BreadOven@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Just gotta git gud. Maybe he needed to level ADP.
djsoren19@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 months ago
I’m not a monster, I’d never start a man off on DS2.

KillingTimeItself@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 months ago
the problem that i have, is that i’d have to be good at it, and enjoy it to be capable of playing it for an extended period of time, i would probably fail darksouls instantly, because i suck at competitive combat, shits too stressful for me, but if you sat me in front of minecraft or factorio i could cook like a motherfucker. There are different types of challenges, some people like combat, some people like analytical, and some people (me) really fucking enjoy implementation challenges.
You definitely need a better litmus test i think.
sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 2 months ago
Hmm, I rage quit when the game crashed right as I was about to accomplish something I had been failing at for hours, and I haven’t touched the game since. I have finished similarly difficult games though.
Am I salvageable?
djsoren19@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 months ago
Were you playing Remastered or Prepare to Die? If it was the OG Prepare to Die release…yeah that thing is a buggy mess and you’d probably have further frustrations with it later on. Remastered doesn’t crash very often though, and the game is pretty good about saving progress, you could’ve hopped back on!
You also probably didn’t have a cute boy cheering you on and trying to motivate you to improve either, which I really think would improve the experience of failing to kill Asylum Demon, but I don’t think my ex agreed.
KaiReeve@lemmy.world 2 months ago
My SO hates it when I play dark souls. She says it increases the stress levels in our home.
VitoRobles@lemmy.today 2 months ago
She didn’t say you create a stressful situation. She said “it” increases stress levels. It’s US against the problem.
That’s a keeper right there.
KillingTimeItself@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 months ago
some of us just need the fight our demons, it’s better that we fight virtual demons that don’t actually exist, instead of fighting real demons. It’s a healthy outlet.
something something, bashing my head against a concrete wall because neuron activation, something something.

Pfft, sometimes you just want wreck shit all casual. Ain’t no shame in it as long as you aren’t trying to pretend you’re uber 1337, or fucking someone over.
Trainguyrom@reddthat.com 2 months ago
I always say “there’s no such thing as cheating in a single player game” and it’s interesting seeing the varrying reactions. Some people take a minute and see the wisdom, others for “but…but…your using cheats that’s cheating!”
southsamurai@sh.itjust.works 2 months ago
Yup, I’m with you.
Mind you, if it was an all the time thing, it seems kinda boring, but as an occasional thing, it’s fun. It extends replay value, and sometimes lets you see things in the game you don’t have time for normally.
djsoren19@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 months ago
I just don’t understand it for games where the primary draw is difficulty. Like, if you take the difficulty out of a game like Dark Souls…it’s not really all that good? The game has good atmosphere and an interesting story if you’re willing to engage it, but both of those are inherently tied to the difficulty of the game. The idea is that you’re struggling to succeed in the face of a dying world, and it all falls apart without the struggle.
Whereas if you’re playing something like the Sims 4 or like GTA where the point is just to screw around, totally understand why you wanna add cheats or mods. It’s your power fantasy, tune it how you like. But if you just want to turn a game like Dark Souls into a power fantasy, IMO there’s so many better games out there for you to play that will give you a better experience.
sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 2 months ago
There are games for that, don’t play a game that’s intended to be challenging on god mode, because that kills the entire point of the game.
southsamurai@sh.itjust.works 2 months ago
Nah, it doesn’t.
The entire point of any game is to have fun while killing time.
sometimes that means just going ham. Sometimes it means jacking up the difficulty setting, or nerfing yourself, or speedrunning, or wandering around and doing nothing at all except look at the.graphics.
Maybe, for you the only point of a game is to fuck around on.whatever the max difficulty is, and I genuinely hope that you always have games that can give you that.
But, my gaming homie, there’s no single point to gaming.
And, can we be real for a minute? Most games, the skill involved is hand-eye coordination combined with reflexes. Which is fine for what it is, but it isn’t like the challenges involved are.something special.
BastingChemina@slrpnk.net 2 months ago
If it’s a single player game, who cares?
If you have fun playing the game then congrats! The point is a game is to have fun.

Nah, they love scary games, they just think STALKER sucks. Hits different when the NPCs call me “loner”.
