I felt much the same way beating Dark Souls for the first time back in the day. Funny, going back to it now. Everything feels like it’s been slowed down, after beating Elden Ring and newer games.

I guess I leveled up.

Great point about scrub mentality. It’s wild how prevalent it is, and how it holds us back, and the Souls community is a perfect example.

I haven't beaten Dark Souls (yet), but the "slowing down" feeling is familiar from Remnant II, another favorite game of mine.

That was the first game I have played on a controller (was MnK before that), and I still remember struggling with the most basic enemies.

Now, I can kill the bosses on apocalypse with my eyes closed! So, I became the boss.

I played the first Remnant on controller as well. The second was on my radar, but never quite got around to it.

Sounds like I should prioritize it next!

Remnant II is absolutely amazing, it's already in my top 10 of all time.

"You win or you learn. You only lose if you give up!" 100% agree with that, especially when it comes to learning new skills

Great post! The point is keep your eye open, learn and adapt to situations. Don’t give up easy. The message is not something new to be interesting. The interesting thing is the way you conveyed it.

Thanks! For me, the most interesting is that these life lessons are available for us even in childhood, but we tend to easily miss them. I sure did.
