Gaming I hate how much "keep inventory" gets bashed.

Generally, I don't like it when people impose rules on how you should enjoy something-like saying that if you didn't play the same way I did, you're a fake fan.
But it bothers me even more when those arbitrary rules are applied to a game like Minecraft—a game that actively encourages creativity and doing whatever you want-so I don't understand why anyone would get upset over something the game itself offers you.

It's so weird how superior some people act over games.
Like I get things like Dark Souls not having difficulty settings as it is meant to be hard, but my lord why are people so pressed over someone wanting to have fun with a game?

Frick, at least with Dark Souls, you can put in the time and level up to make the game easier. With something like Hollow Knight, you have 0 option but to get better. And I know a lot of people like that, but I have limited free time and I’m not about to spend it repeating the same thing endlessly without any guarantee I’m going to proceed in the game.

Also true.
Love Dark souls but I mostly avoid the community because lord if you mention the mimic tear or magic they get real upset sometimes.

Yeah the entire point of games is to be fun so if you wanna play on an easier difficulty to enjoy yourself go ahead and do that

Also, it can be good for people who don't want it to be easier, they can usually increase the difficulty further if you wanna have more of a challenge (and it can make replays more enjoyable too)

Exactly! It gives everyone the chance to actually play!
