  • Yep. Agreed on all aspects of your post.

    I started too late (undergrad) wearing earplugs all the time at shows/other loud things. I don’t think I have much hearing loss (thankfully) but I do get the buzzing every so often (I know it could be worse, and am grateful it isn’t).

    Hearing protection is not something to take lightly (I know you know, but just to reiterate for others reading).

    Ffs, don’t get me started on knees haha.






  • How I did it may not be the best. But damn, did I feel accomplished afterwards.

    I went into DS1 without any background. I only looked up things when I was 100 % stuck (I played with the broken short sword for far too long). I definitely used some summons (mainly the NPC ones), but you could also choose not to.

    Beating O&S the first time after a week or so of trying was one of the best feelings ever (don’t want to spoil anything hence the vagueness).

    Elden Ring is definitely more beginner-friendly, but the sheer mechanics you can learn in DS1 will help in all soulsbourne games (maybe not Sekiro).

    I have not played Demon souls, so maybe that’s a better jumping off point?
