Quoting Wikipedia: "Stoicism teaches the development of self-control and fortitude as a means of overcoming destructive emotions". Anyone who's played Dark Souls should know that's basically the opposite of like 99% of the enemies in the game lol.
tbh i dont think theyre 'forgetting' anything i just think that being anti-AI is in vogue enough that it attracts some performative virtue signaling against it lol
which on some level i get, fuck genAI, but we'll also get some comedically unhinged takes like this
Has this guy actually... *played* a Souls game? The carnivorous funnels aren't exactly dignified, never mind the literal balls of animated bones, or the angry clay jars full of viscera. Among many, many other weird little critters, like the land octopi, or the angry lizards made of burning tree.
Have people been talking about the Souls games in terms of stoicism for a while?
Otherwise I think this person might be trying to parrot MarkMSX’s Demon’s Souls review from like two weeks ago, which is an impressive turnaround for a YouTube take morphing into its bastardized forum argument form lol
I think you’ll find that Samus does not quite have the stoicness of an Artorias nor does the enemies of Prime 4 have the elegance of the Dancer of the Boreal Valley *proceeds to sip some wine through a kid straw while reading the Dark Souls Official Guide Book*
Damn, because of this completely unrelated game with a gothic aesthetic, with mushroom men and bug-eye flying frog monsters, i cant take this sci-fi alien aesthetic seriously at all! Next they'll say the dodge-roll iframes arent based on equipment weight
