Totally understandable, not trying to say you need to play the genre if its not your cup ofntea, I’m just highlighting what draws people to these games.
Oh and beyond the “it’s a challenge to overcome” crowd, Soulsborne games also draw in the lore nerds too. There’s a lot of stories about the world and it’s inhabitants to discover though the flavor text on items and through the environmental storytelling.
The draw of elder ring and soulsborne games in general is the challenge. Taking the time, failing, learning and getting good, finally beating that challenging boss, the thrill and rush of seeing the big “You Defeated” text across the screen is truly unmatched by most other games.
I also totally get not wanting to go through that. The low moments in the game can hit really hard on the motivation to play. Hitting a difficulty wall and just not having the ability to progress, dying a second time and losing a ton of souls/currency you were going to use to level up.
Why not? There’s still people born who’ve never played those games and come across them. And besides preserving legacy media is actually a worthwhile cause.
The difference is trump is enthusiastically sucking to get the biggest and fastest completion of all time and dems have been slow blowing for 2 years trying to avoid the worst possible outcome.
Honestly, it holds up. Sure there’s fewer polygons, but more polygons doesn’t mean it looks better.
Take everything with i say with a grain of salt/do some searching to get more specifics of what I say, its been years since I’ve really considered myself properly Catholic and a lot of what I learned is a bit rusty.
It depends on the flavor of Christianity, Catholics and some Protestant denominations that are still traditionally pretty close to Catholics, like the Anglicans, use the all black outfit with the Roman collar, that black collar with the white tab for their day to day outfits and the wear specific robes and garments when performing Mass.
I’m not sure of the details of the various flavors of Orthodox, but the bit I have seen tend to also use the various robes and other garments.
Some flavors of Protestant tend to focus on their leadership being part of the people and being in service to others (and actually do a lot of community service) tend to wear fairly plain common clothes.
And then the big Protestant mega churches that operate more like tax havens than actual ministries serving the community, tend to wear the nice suits and fly in their private jets.

I don’t think that’s what OP was commenting on, they were just pointing out that class consciousness and changing systems to incentivize helping people would be a more effective long term solution to the struggles people face with disability and homelessness.
