it's like anything, if you have the money to throw at random poo poo one day you might get lucky, as someone said it's basically bitcoins

like if i'd known how things would go i would've bought some of those dragonclaw hooks for pudge when they were £40ish on the market cuz now they go for like £130, or the alpine ursa set (if i even played then)

i just started playing the first dark souls last weekend

i keep getting pounded in to the dirt by the asylum demon

is dark souls the type of video game where you struggle a lot and fight the same enemy 50 times but the struggle makes the victory all the sweeter? or am i just really bad at video games?

the bosses in dark souls do not mess around and are like that. regular enemies are usually tough-but-fair and once you learn their patterns very easy

tropic 4 was a slightly better tropico 3, they'd have to change a whole lot with tropico 5 to make me get it

yup, he drops a cool weapon if you kill him the first time. admittedly that's just about impossible without picking black firebombs as your gift

i didn't run past him the first few times i died but then i googled for it to learn that weird old tip

i ran past the second time but now i got lost and some of the doors are locked and i can't find my way back to the boss (i only tried for a few minutes though and i haven't played it since then)

but it's good to know that it improves (sort of)
