Well, there's a reason Dark Souls is the one that got popular and Demon Souls is the hipster choice...

[heydude6]

And they left that feature completely unchanged in the remake.

It's kind of funny, ideally you want to rework poorly implemented ideas like these, but any attempt to make world tendency actually make sense would end up going contrary to the idea's initial intent. There's no way of winning besides cutting it out entirely like in Dark souls.

I just wish I knew what the original designers were thinking when they implemented that!

Killed the Taurus Demon. Was pretty easy once I came to the fight slightly-better prepared.

...Then I walked right into the instant-death zone of the next problem I have to deal with. To be fair, I pretty much expected it though and wanted to see what would happen. Death, by the way. Death happens.

Dark Souls: Remastered. Not sure if I should be using a Battle Axe or Longsword. Longsword hits faster, but the Axe hits harder, penetrates shielded enemies slightly, and is less affected by walls in the way of the swing. Also got a bow, rocking that one pretty well.

[Egan_BW]

Keep in mind that with axe and club weapons, a missed swing will make your character stumble a little bit and add more ending lag than if you had hit. But I like them a lot if you know you're going to hit.

Next boss is a bit of a DPS race so I'd go with the axe.

I probably shouldn't tell you this because it will hurt you in the long run, but if you're doing what I think you're doing, then when you go under the bridge use your bow and shoot the tail until it drops a sword. It's a pretty good weapon and doesn't get any scaling from stats so it does kind of free you to just raise your HP and equip load (or Faith or Int if you're into casting), but you should still keep building your primary attack stat to a reasonable level. Once you've rung both bells, the Drake Sword just can't deal enough damage to keep up from then on.

[Egan_BW]

I never used that since it's tedious to get the cheesy way and really hard to get the legit way.

[SeriousConcentrate]

I only used it the first time I played through and then I found out the hard way why having a crutch do all the heavy lifting for you is a bad thing.

Had a mirror match with another May player in Guilty Gear Strive. Nothing worse for your ego than getting your ass kicked by someone just doing your strategy but stupider- and winning- because your physical execution is subpar.

Ugh. Fighting games. Why you got to be so uncompromising about how much work I have to put in for my winning dopamine?

Guilty Gear: Strive, obviously.

Playing SnowRunner again, this time on hard mode, which makes pretty much everything cost money, including fixing shit and refueling. It's a rather different experience where you need to plan shit out way more and mistakes are punished much more harshly, and if you are too shit you can easily hard lock your self from completing the game by running out of cash.

So I was feeling real clever when I started siphoning fuel from a giant 5k liter trailer that was part of one of the mission chains that unlocks a ton of following missions. So clever in fact that I intentionally skipped doing the mission for a while just to be able to nick fuel for free from the trailer whenever I needed to. Hell, I even got a a tanker add-on for one of the trucks to be able to ferry that shit to other regions. Imagine my horror when I finally emptied the thing and decided I'd like to deliver it now and collect my cash and reputation, as well as continue the mission chain, got it to the delivery place and it failed to register it. As it turns out, you're supposed to get the full thing delivered, not a drop missing.
I then recall that restarting a mission also resets any specific trailers related to it back to their original state, so I casually reset and still feel smug, completely failing to check the trailer itself to see if was actually refilled when it was returned to the starting location.

Turns out it doesn't, so now I gotta find 5k liters of fuel from somewhere, which is not fucking cheap :I

Edit:
And after cashing out and driving a bunch, it turns out the trailer sticks around until you complete the entire mission, and you can just empty it afterwards without any issues with completing the mission :V

Killed by a giant mummy throwing black balls of magic at me in Diablo II: Resurrected.

A very embarrassing death since greater mummies are not very dangerous on their own, and I'd just fought past a ton of skeletons and ghosts to get inside the room.  I always try my hardest to get as far as I can without dying once, despite never playing hardcore, and I was miffed to die before even making it to Duriel.  Duriel didn't even kill me, but a stupid greater mummy did.

That's the danger with playing with the game muted I suppose.  I didn't realize the 5 of them were even attacking me instead of my golem and mercenary.

[Akura]

Got stun-locked to death by a nine-year-old.

No Straight Roads: Encore Edition.

[JimboM12]

[chaotic skies]

I got hit by a train. Then I got hit by a train. Then....you get the idea.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Factorio. Fun game, trains are neat. And also hurt when they're going a few hundred km/h.

[KittyTac]

Fucking wasps and their slowing sting... They're the new mooses (meese?).

Surprisingly, the plural of moose is just moose. Like with sheep.
