    My first dark souls play through was 40 hours. Speed run is under 20 minutes. Parenting? 18+ years.

    Now which one is harder…

    But they didn’t say becoming a parent is difficult, they said that parenting is difficult. Which is true if you’re doing it right.

    Majority of Dark Souls players struggle to understand, it’s a turn based game, not action hack n slash. In opposite to parenting, that is 24/7 service action p2w gacha game.

    Granted my kid is probably autistic, but parenting is so hard that dark souls is what I do to relax.

    Technically you can never actually beat parenting but you can beat dark souls.

    At least Dark Souls becomes easier when you already know what to do. Parenting is a randomizer run, every attempt has some new bullshit.

      Roguelike with permadeath and randomised drops. It’s kinda like a deckbuilder where you’re options are finite but combining cards you can play can lead to very good outcomes and depends on creativity.

      I have a 2 year old now and I basically remove the block with “Deception: Fake want consumable” so I can land “Deliver vegetable” in very few attempts.

      I’m still very much playing eco build to get a good minion 6 years that hopefully evolves to a nice mercenary character that can handle with move furniture and shit when my character deck starts containing unremovable curse cards like Injury or Feeble.

      You start to think the whole parenting thing is easy and other parents are just doing it wrong. Then you get constitution checked by the teenage years and your strategy goes out the window.

        I thought you replied to this

        Folks, the best of us cheat on our wives with spies. When I cheated on my wife Marples with Melarnia, I said, you’re so beutiful, I don’t care that you’re sponsored by the FSB. That’s what they called Yugoslavia back then.

    Additionally, people have been parents since prehistoric times, but nobody managed to beat Dark Souls even once until less than 20 years ago.

    I just played dark souls for the first time, then became a parent for the first time.

    Dark souls is some peepo shit compared to this bro 😅
