I get to work on this Python codebase and then immediately notice the strict adherence to using type annotations everywhere... except they are such a pain to get right for some people that half of them are only partially right.

Then I get told to avoid using two indentation levels because indentation is a pain...

I'm also told performance is critical and should be mindful of not introducing significantly slower code.

At this point I'm wondering why the fuck are we using Python if it looks like what we actually want is Go.

@sarvo La fuerza siempre fue la única garantía de los derechos y reglas que quieras imponer. Y lamentablemente eso siempre significa que si el que tiene poder decide romperte la cabeza, nada lo puede detener.

El verdadero error de todos los países bien idiotas fue firmar esos tratados contra la proliferación nuclear y contra el desarrollo de misiles balísticos. Mira como le va a Ucrania tras entregar sus armas nucleares a cambio de una "garantía de seguridad".

@newt @Paradox No, that's Dark Souls fans. FromSoftware fans just want to glaze the company even if what they put out isn't as good as their previous games. Prime example being how a lot of Armored Core fans didn't like the latest entry in that series that further simplifies everything.

@newt @Paradox If you get the DLC, there's one area that is boring as fuck and FromSoftware fans will go rabid if you point out how boring it is from a gameplay design perspective.

@newt The bosses all play like regular Dark Souls bosses for the most part (except you can jump now). It's the open world part that is tedious.

As for other 'souls-likes'... My experience has been that they all fucking suck in one way or another if you're expecting a similar experience because none of them put effort into making combat or exploration feel the same way.

You have to approach them as 'generic ARPG' instead.

Or play Sekiro instead, which is not a souls like but it has its own type of combat where it's satisfying to overcome a challenge.

@newt It's esentially Dark Souls 3 (so basically casual mode on at all times) with the addition of recycled movesets for mobs that have insanely extended range because they couldn't figure out a less shitty way of adapting the combat system to an open world setting.
