I don't mean to judge anybody's life based on their performance in videogames. All I'm saying is, if you're the type of (perfectly valid) gamer who quits at the first bonfire, Dark Souls is not for you, and you shouldn't be playing it. For your own sake. Save yourself from Blighttown while there's still time.

My point is that someone could be exactly you, and have the potential to play DS exactly like you do, but also make the mistake at the start.

Mind you, the odds are still greatly weighted towards figuring out the right way, but it's still chance.

But anyway I'm definitely done talking about it now.
