Imagine if DS9 premiered in this day and age; Black "DEI" captain, "Transgender" Alien, "FEEMALE" Major, Arab doctor, "woke politics" about an occupation ending, we'd never hear the end of it (hexbear.net)

Huge fan of pretty much every souls game but I wish it had more accessibility & ability to customize play. I would love to share the experience of the beautiful art, creature design, music, wonderfully bleak landscapes, but then the online Gamer discussion becomes about "cheating yourself out of the experience". Fuck that lol

I think it was 100% the movement that made me bounce. Cuphead has a similarly toxic fandom but I had a blast with that game. I get the design intent (time and plan your maneuvers because each one is a commitment) but it just did not subjectively feel good to play for me.

Dodge rolling mechanics fuck with me too, honestly. Might be because I'm old and grew up with an older generation of games. When I see an attack coming my way, my instinct is to use the control pad (or control stick) to get away... and since the game is balanced around the player using the dodge roll, I just get hit.
