I had given DS1 a try on PC back when I saw the game played by PewDiePie (jesus this was ages ago) and didn’t really get the game at all; keyboard controls prior to PTD edition probably didn’t help either lol

My first real venture into soulslikes was Bloodborne and it went horribly to say the least. I killed the Cleric Beast and Gascoigne the first evening I tried the game and put down the game afterwards but it was just too much for me. I was scared, didn’t know what I was doing, and it was just waay to hard for me.

Took me a couple of years to get back to it and give it another shot. One of my all-time favourite games today.

How about you guys?

    I can imagine it’s tough dealing with this. How do you manage? And is this an official diagnosis or just something you’ve noticed over the years?

      Like I said, it’s not life changing like some pathologies I just have to be mindful of what is difficult. Sometimes I mute the TV, sometimes I have to apologize very well and ask for people to repeat themselves - or ask them not to talk to me while I read. It’s a little friction but not insurmountable.

      It’s not an official diagnosis, just a label I’ve found useful for dealing with shit I can’t handle
