Both times I managed to equip it right before getting ambushed by a difficult boss

Not just “let’s waste the player’s time if they die” but “let’s make a game where the player is supposed to die a lot figuring things out then waste the player’s time when they die”

Literally this but replace “capitalism” with “Soulslikes”
Imply? Soulslike fans will say it to your face, then suggest that sucking at video games also makes you a bad person.
I remember once being told on this very site that my dislike of Dark Souls was illegitimate because I didn’t spend long enough (about half an hour) playing it.
