    But here’s the thing - I didn’t enjoy dark souls when I tried, but I do enjoy other games that are very difficult for me and where I need to be determined to win

      That’s fair, and that’s why I stayed with him for 5 years after watching him ragequit after losing 15 times to Asylum Demon. I was hopeful that it was just him bouncing off the game, and I also assumed he’d have other moments where he could show me what he was worth under stress. He never did, and eventually I became fully responsible for the both of us.

      Like I said, being bad at DS isn’t a red flag. Having no determination and constantly giving up at the first sign of adversity is a red flag. There’s a very faint correlation between the two, but that’s all.
