  • And I appreciate you responding in a constructive way. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not expecting a load of new content that’s very different to the reddit subs. The series ended nearly 10 years ago now, it’s hard for anyone to think of anything creative to post at this point. And yeah I get you for sure, I wouldn’t expect someone to devote themselves to this stuff!

    Love a shitpost myself and was a fan of r/shittydarksouls too, there’s some gold on there. It’s not on there I see this stuff I talked about, I feel it’s more on the main subs. The sheer amount of times I’ve seen some slightly differently worded variation of asking why people hate DS2 so much. And while some of it will be genuine of course, I can’t help but think that people just make those posts cos they see how much engagement it gets, even though it happens all the time. Also some of it could be bots too I guess

    I dunno, I’m over here ranting about a certain type of post on a specific game’s subreddit being boring and overdone and not wanting it here too, maybe that says more about me than them

    But anyways yeah I will engage more and try and get some more varied discussion of DS2, you’re right to point out I can do that after me saying this. It’s the most unique one after all, I think you could say? Whether the uniqueness is good or bad or wherever in between is a big part of the debate




  • I love DS2, it’s my favourite one out of the series. But do we have to have these baity DS2-related posts here that happen so often on the reddit Dark Souls subs? Every time it’s like I’m looking at basically the same comment section on them as the last one. It’s so boring and predictable

    There are many, many more things that can be discussed around DS2 than how and why most Souls fans either think it’s the least good one at best or outright hate it and refuse to play it (even if they’ve never actually tried playing it once and seeing for themselves) at worst

    Yep as I expected, nothing about supporting the annexation or openly working with Russian propaganda/intel services. In fact what I’m seeing from googling that is many examples of him actually publicly condemning the Russian governments actions over the years, including the invasion of Ukraine. If he’s under Russian employ as you say, I’m very surprised they didn’t fire him years ago

    But yeah you’re clearly someone who sees the Ukrainian government and NATO as perfect and could never do anything wrong and will continue to do so. So anyone who says even slightly different is worthy to be demonised by you, whether it’s actually true or not they even said anything like that. And before you accuse me of being a “Russia sympathiser” or whatever I completely believe Russia is the aggressor and that we should be supoorting Ukraine. Just not that Ukraine and NATO have been 100% good themselves

    Like, for instance, it’s also funny that people can’t see that NATO are loving the invasion. It means they don’t have to all openly go to war with Russia to severely weaken it, something they’ve always wanted. They can just use Ukraine in a proxy war and allow the country and people to suffer all the hardships while the rest of NATO just pump Ukraine with war funding and the politicians in government in those countries get an easy win in popularity. Starmer is a great example of this, just about everything he’s done is unpopular and the UK population for the most part are at the very least disappointed in him. The only time he was really popular was when he was all nice to Zelenskyy after the terrible Trump meeting he went through. Which is exactly what Starmer should have done of course, but it just shows how much of an easy goal it is



  • This will likely get buried in all the other replies and you may well have already done what I suggest. But I have to say this because it doesn’t seem (from me skim reading anyway) that anyone else has really touched on this but have you been to a psychiatrist, ideally more than one? Done any research yourself beyond just the depression?

    I ask because it seems like so many people just label themselves as having depression and that’s it. They don’t think about there being an underlying cause that has to be examined and worked on/healed, they only focus on that one depression symptom.

    I’m a huge example of this, I’m in my early 30s and spent my whole adulthood so far thinking I just had depression and anxiety, that’s it. A few years ago I found out I had ADHD and thought that was the answer. But it really wasn’t what was causing bad feeling so much. And so over the past year I discovered I have CPTSD. Bad. A lot of trauma over my life that I wasn’t aware of and living as a shame-bound person was making me feel, think and behave the way I do, for the most part. Knowing that made it so much easier to know what path to take to heal.

    And in contrast to what so many others have said here, I’ve healed for the most part and it happened very suddenly, over the course of a month or so actually. I won’t go into details as it’s long and not needed but yeah it came from going through a very horrible, abusive struggle for most of the past two years. I got out of it and did had many realisations about myself and life because of it. I saw that, despite what I thought all those years, I am a strong and good person and my life is, in fact, beautiful. It’s like I can hear music and see colour again after so many years without. I’ve never felt so genuinely happy and contended with myself and life. That’s simplifying it too, I could write an essay on my experience and the difference

    There’s still more work to be done, of course, but I was blown away by how much change I’ve felt and in such a short space of time. This isn’t me saying you should seek out and also go through some terrible ordeal at all, of course. I just wanted to get across the importance of looking at potential underlying causes and mental conditions, not just trying to treat one or two symptoms. And also that healing isn’t always a slow, linear journey. There are people who have major depression and take a psychedelic once and they don’t feel that major depression ever again after. The human psyche is a powerful and not well understood thing that has a huge range of difference from person to person
