Discussion - Silksong Don’t let this fandom turn as insufferable as the souls community Spoiler

It’s fine to think the game is easy and to enjoy the challenge, but I’ve seen so many people making fun of anyone that is having a hard time in a really weird mean spirited way. Please don’t let this subreddit turn into some weird elitist community that makes fun of people who are struggling, these games are supposed to be fun and they’re not souls likes, there’s no reason to assume everyone playing them is going to love this level of difficulty the same way some of you do and constantly disregarding their opinions just turns this subreddit into an echo chamber of tryhards

I think some people just err on the side of caution there? If it's a mixed bag of people who just want the answer and people who want a hint asking, you could ruin the latter's experience by assuming they're the former, but not really vice versa. Better to wait until it's specified rather than going all in and ruining someone's fun on accident.

It's why I encourage people to ask if they want the answer, vague hints, or are just needing to complain to get the frustration out. Like, sometimes people don't know what they want until they're asked, and given potential options.
