Part of me feels like Dark Souls wouldn't have caught on if the first game had difficulty settings. It'd be "cheap", "pointless", etc.
Arcade games had a relatively granular difficulty option via credit feeding and it played a big part in them written off as "button mashers"/"quarter munchers".

more RPGs should do what mega man battle network/star force do and just let you randomly encounter higher-level versions of bosses you previously fought. the newgens need to know how it feels to get jumped by quickmanV3 when you're still in the earlygame

if you liked Clair Obscur, i would also say XC3 lives in the same thematic territory but, imo, is a better take on most of it

something that made a lot of Japanese game design fall into place for me was learning that a lot of arcades had a "communication notebook" so you could share messages with other players
they became essential for obtuse games like Tower of Druaga, which required community effort

Playing ZOE 2 MARS and I kinda love the visuals? Just speaking remakes and stuff where I am generally down on them, I love the texture work here. It's an neat middle ground where the textures are high fidelity but the actual models are still relatively simply, detail drawn rather than modeled out

If you need something to scroll through on your phone whilst ignoring your family and would prefer to not have social media tear at your corneas then perhaps try binging my weird Let's Play or reading my various interesting blog posts
I plan on continuing with a truncated NG+ to show some alternate options, but worth noting my old-style screenshot Let's Play of an obscure fan-translated JoJo's Bizarre Adventure fangame that began on Cohost has hit end credits of a full playthrough. Read it!

The battlefield does not always witness linear evolution, developing frontline conditions may require time-honored solutions. Sagarmatha [G] Types have been approved for rollout.

The Jedi Exile leaves Malachor, leaves the galaxy, searching for truth beyond the rim. They meet Revan who says “Kreia, right?”. The Exile responds “I know! Fuck!”. Revan takes a familiar seat on the Ebon Hawk, “Man… Kreia. Fuckin’ Kreia”
