  • That’s a fair point and I agree with you that it’s difficult to enjoy soulslike (I am referring to the game’s I played. I’m sure there are exceptions) in short bursts.

    But I don’t know whether this is because of their higher difficulty compared to the games you mentioned (which I didn’t play a single one of) or because they’re overall slower games.


  • They are and in a weird way they aren’t… I didn’t play a WHOLE lot of souls likes. I finished Elden Ring, am pretty far into Dark Souls 3 and Lies of P, played some Dark Souls 1 and 2.

    The thing is: Yes, you die very often for sometimes maddening and sometimes silly reasons, but you get better: The mechanics just start to “click”, you earn just enough souls to afford another level up or some piece of equipment, you learn the positioning of you enemies, their attack patterns, timings etc… And slowly and steadily you progress: Around the next corner, to the next boss, you beat the boss. Then you come back to an area you already visited and murder everything…

    And if you can’t progress in any way there are summons (players or NPC) that can give you an edge or you try using consumables you forgot about…

    Especially the Fromsoftware games have managed to hit that sweet spot where the game is challenging but (most of the times) doesn’t feel unfair or broken. It’s just an amazing piece of game design and you should try it. :)






  • Aaah gut zu wissen. Ich habe schon gelesen, das die “Lebensdauer”, die bei den Samenhändlern bei Autos angegeben wird, einen Idealwert darstellt, aber ich hätte nicht gedacht, dass Schwankungen so groß ausfallen. Ich rechne damit, dass diese Pflanze locker 16 Wochen alt wird. RQS gibt 12 an.

    Das bedeutet aber auch, dass die Samen, die ich vor einer guten Woche in die Erde gesteckt habe, wahrscheinlich hinfällig sind.






  • Thanks for your advice. I’ll try giving them more nutrients and keep them damp. This will be difficult for me because I’ve conditioned myself to only water when the top 3 - 5 cm of the soil are dry… I killed more plants by overwatering than uunderwatering…

    They alread have fruit but I read that cucumbers keep producing fruit as long as I harvest them before they’re fully ripe.
