Lol, no - I was trying to post a gif, but it failed to load. I just tried again by downloading it and uploading rather than link.

A couple of comments are suggesting that, but I remember this scene and just assumed it was a weird still from the movie.

I’m confused why someone would’ve recreated it, or modified part of it with AI, but it’s possible.

It’s way more fun to make up your own build as you go, based on how you want to play anyway. Just be warned that the upgrade materials are really stingy after a certain point, so be a little selective with how many weapons you commit to.

…and you’ll know you’re in this swamp when you find it. Good luck!

I love reading people’s first time experience with these games.

Demon’s Souls was the last of the Souls games I played, and I thought it was hard still. The bosses aren’t as frenetic and complex as later titles, but the levels and the navigation is brutal. I still remember running back in that swamp over and over and over.

I also remember grinding out weapon upgrade materials in a cave for literal hours, because I didn’t see any other way to get enough.

I’ve always considered it the latter.

No worries. It would be best to just repost that one in the politicalmemes community instead.

That’s how I’ve always interpreted it too.

I do envy their ability to take such big risks though (often because they have money to fall back on, I assume).

I’ve never been in a position to take a risk like that without jeopardizing my (and now my family’s) future.

I’ve heard it’s one of those ways they haze new operators.

It’s not something that’s unique to tech, but I read it as a joke about enshittification due to greed.

Lots of start-up companies start out all idealistic and positive, then don’t stay true to that mission as the founders age and want more (or sell out to a bigger company).

They might be using an app that doesn’t show display names. I can see it when on my PC, but this is how it looks in the Voyager app, for example:

You actually did it! What a legend.

It sounds like the robots still have a lot to learn.

Please be warned, that part of the text was 100% AI. I’ve never baked cupcakes…
