    It’s just so cool to slowly work out how to beat these bosses, then backslide and still stick with it, then to finally break through and defeat them…big yell when I won!! And it’s just so gorgeous and fighting larger than life enemies and the music. And I’m barely started!!

    See anything fun in the stars?

    Hell yeah, I am glad you enjoyed it! Souls games are my favorite for exactly that reason. If you are a fan of platformers I really recommend hollowknight.

    I'm out in the desert so it was genuinely the most full sky I had ever seen. Moonless as well so it was quite bright; I didn't realize how blue the stars could be. Granted I was on mushrooms so the color may have been influenced by that. Either way I spent a few hours finding constellations and when I was peaking looked at the orion nebula. Truly stunning, never seen anything like that in person. 10/10 would do again

    Just a word of advice: don't listen to this meme. The games have a reputation for difficulty, which makes people think they're supposed to slam their head against a boss until they win (which is how most games work). Souls-likes, when designed well, are made so when you find a boss and struggle, there's many other options to win.

    The best for ER is to go find some content you haven't done and do it. You'll unlock some new equipment and upgrade material while farming runes for leveling or spending. The teleports always being available mean it's really easy to just go do something else. Just mark it on your map and go do something else. Next time you come back you'll be stronger.
