Man, this site on mobile is like psychological warfare. You read a paragraph, and it's interesting, and you scroll down a bit to read more, and they spawn another ad that takes up ever so slightly more of the screen until the article is a postage stamp in the middle like I'm playing Quake on an old machine in 1997.

Set up a PiHole if you can, I see no ads whatsoever.
I can't wait until the everything-is-a-soulslike era has ended. I know some people like it, but it absolutely does not inspire any excitement for me.
I love Souls games, but souls-like as a genre usually doesn't even feel like souls games. It means you have a health and stamina bar, everything else is ignored...
I'm not sure if i've ever played a souls like apart from the couple of VR ones. When i feel like playing a souls game i play a souls game.
Similarly, I can't wait until the everything-is-a-survival-game era ends.
Well, they finally started appealing to me, because the new crop cares less about trying to survive and more about building stuff.
I love Souls likes but flooding the market with one specific genre is never a good thing.
The number of survival games or indie roguelite games is at the point where I actively avoid them now. Ive played so many I dont want another one for a while.
The trick with roguelikes is to get addicted to 1 and not play another game for 10+ years. So you don't get sick of roguelikes in general.
Every game these days wants to monopolize my time, which I do not like either. I just play what I want, and I find myself more and more playing old classics because of the better variety they offer than newer titles.
