I've put a fair amount of effort in leaving helpful messages during my first playthrough of elden ring, pointing out secrets and hidden paths, without too many appraisals, but as soon as I put 'hole!' in a random hole in the ground now I get healed every minute or so

This has been a long time coming and shouldn't be a surprise to anyone. Today I'm officially confirming the Dumbshits Guide to Dark Souls series, as well as any other content as WildPie101, has been shelved for good (and has actually been for a while now).

wasnt the whole problem when genshin came out the fact that the majority of its movement and melee combat was ripped directly from nier automata and breath of the wild? is this whole game just a mashup of stolen ideas stuffed into a slot machine?

It does make me a little sad to admit out loud but it's something I've known deep down for a long time and the only reason it's taken me this long to admit to it is because of audience expectations.

The reality is making these guides is not fun for me anymore and has not been fun for a very long time. There are moment where I would have a great time but the monotony of the format as it came to be was tiresome to record, cut and edit.

Every moment I spent making them from around the time of the Anor Londo video was about 80% forced effort. Any inconvenience I would face during editing like having to rerecord or struggling to make a bit work would be cause for me to drop it entirely.

I also don't look back too fondly on the videos themselves. They're products of their time and low quality ones at that, dragged into an online landscape that they don't seem to fit in with anymore, so I feel comfortable leaving them there rather than try to carry them with me.

Part of me believes that this is because I've just gotten older and my sense of humor has shifted. I was a university student when I started making these videos and the peak of my Dark Souls obsession was in high school.

While maybe I don't appreciate them for what they are anymore, there's still a lot of people who do, so I would rather preserve the series for how it is rather than change it just so I can bring myself to finish it.

As for the WIP Dukes Archives video, I may just render that and upload it as is for the sake of prosperity, in all it's unfinished and janky glory, because there are a couple of bits in there that I like, and it would be a waste to have a 75% finished project never be seen.
