Discovery is one of the greatest joys in video games so I try very hard to not rob myself of that experience.I have intentionally "spoiled" myself(inconsequentially), a couple of times though, like when I checked out an early boss fight in lies of P to see if the gameplay was as good as people said, or recently I wanted to know if/what content from SotE was added in the nightreign dlc so I looked that up... but well, going in with fresh eyes is the best, imo. Some things become meta in a community and are impossible to avoid, but in this genre is very hard to make sense about anything without context, so...

anyway, I'm about to fire up nightreign and tomorrow I'll get back to demon souls. A little NR sketch I did on earlier today, the chaos goat... such a good fight, a banger soundtrack.. awesome sound design ah! tough mf tho.... :P but definitely my favourite character design from the game.
