Was in a comment section about designing games to respect the player's time and mentioned I never finished Hollow Knight because it makes you fight the final boss again each time you want to give the secret boss another shot.

Someone jumped in literally telling me "GET GOOD" and when I told them there were other things I'd rather be doing, they followed up with "so don't get hard games just to complain about." They never responded when I asked them how I was supposed to know exactly how hard everything in the game would be before I ever played it.

Every fucking time. I swear I can set my watch by it. The Dark Souls series has earned my undying enmity for what it has done to gaming discourse.

"Oh but it's not the developer's vision" yeah cool i'm not omniscient, if someone who i didn't forsee found a way to play my shit anyway then good for them!

I am teaching myself game dev and maybe I'm not auteur enough or something but frankly I'd be delighted if anyone spent any time on my silly little creations and had any thoughts about them at all.
