@ambyrb @Noelle808 The best way I can describe this eloquently is that there should be an ebb and flow to difficulty in games. As the player becomes more skillful and learns the game's mechanics, the game should adjust to keep them comfortably within that "sweet spot" of difficulty-- hard enough to be satisfying to the player, but reasonable and fair.
That dance between developer and player, as new challenges and mechanics are introduced to push back against the player's growing skill and knowledge, creates a tidal pattern back and forth in that sweet spot. And in a best-case scenario, the player should be able to choose where that sweet spot is for them.
@ambyrb @Noelle808 All of this!! People seem to peg me as a """hardcore gamer""" because I play difficult games, but honestly I'm just really bullheaded and like tricky combat systems that work well with difficulty. And of course, there are days where I'm just sick of difficult games and I don't want to play them.
I guess my view on difficulty as a game design tool is that games are best when they're at the right difficulty for the person playing, whether it be easier or more difficult. At the same time, from a game design standpoint, it's important that players understand their own limits. An easy version of Dark Souls is just... not fun to play anymore.

I think Windows 10 is hands-down the most invasive operating system, by a small landslide. Never before have I been so constantly and consistently hounded about updates, right up to the point where the OS viscerally rips the controls away from me and forces the update regardless of my preference.
Honestly, Microsoft needs to calm the fuck down...

And now, watch in awe as Rowan gets owned by Orphan of Kos over and over for nearly an hour because nobody will co-op with her.

Me: Sorry, what was that? I was just doing playthrough #7835 of Bloodborne and wasn't paying attention
Bloodborne, lounging on my couch, wearing sunglasses and sipping from a martini: ye
I think it probably says something about me as a person that upon buying a PS4 and several brand new games that I was excited to play, I almost immediately started yet another playthrough of a game that I have already beaten half a dozen times.
