Speedrunners are single players too. 👌
It's actually a virtue that these games let players find their own way of progressing. I love the Souls games because players have ways to express their character that would be unthinkable in other games that aren't immersive sims.
I gifted Scholar of the First Sin to my partner at a time when she was feeling stuck and overwhelmed with options and responsibilities and I wished she'd venture down a path she liked, scrutinize the obstacles on it and overcome them through pattern learning, practice and resourcefulness, asking for jolly cooperation whenever she needed some help.
It immediately clicked and had a good influence on our lives. We both pushed forward with better attitudes. 💛
