I didn’t mean it negatively; criticism can be constructive. trek was sorta supposed to be humanity after it surpassed the qualms and trivial issues of today’s problems. characters in the new shows are too flawed, irrational, ill tempered, quick to act without explaining or planning things. I get it makes for better tv but to me it speaks to regression in humanity rather than the progression roddenberry envisioned; that said TNG and DS9 were probably my faves.

- Comment on Hollow Knight: Silksong Sparks Debate About Difficulty and Boss Runbacks 5 months ago:
yea agreed. in general though our attitudes with gaming have changed due to how many titles are available (over abundance) and the history of gaming, etc. we’ve become spoiled in ways. there needs to be a ‘penalty’ of sorts to encourage trial and error growth. get some true dopamine overcoming a trial.
there’s a place for all types of games and difficulties though. let the artists create their vision.
