Really struggling to grok what that title means and I don't want to bother finding the article because I feel like it's just clickbait.

Stardew Valley :: Dark Souls
Haunted Chocolatier :: Elden Ring

The meme is asserting that as Dark Souls and Stardew Valley are the origin games which were immensely improved upon in their successors: Elden Ring and Haunted Chocolatier.

Ahh, thank you

That metaphor was meaningless too me, I just kept thinking they were trying to make a confused statement on difficulty or something

Likewise, especially with the title being about stress. I know some people want to take Stardew slow and find some of the timed bits or rushing to repair the community center stressful, and I mentally linked that with difficulty.
