Crazy how Souls has actually changed people's lives and way of thinking. Only game franchise I have ever seen do that on such a large scale. Souls taught me that if you try something enough times, you will eventually get it. This way of thinking convinced me not to quit my job as an electrician, even though I sucked at first and lost my leg a few years ago. Not quitting was the best decision I have ever made, and it's now a great and lucrative career for me. I swear on my mother's good name that if it wasn't for the mindset that Souls instilled in me, I would have borderline no direction in life.

But im rly hyped for ER dlc because of the unique boss Design plus moveset shown to us. I hope modders try to make more new movesets instead of coping alot. But thats just my preference.
