If you're a small studio or an indie dev, I need you to understand that you're all that's gonna be left when the billion dollar oroboros that is the gaming industry finishes eating itself.

It's also SO consistent in spelling/pronunciation that it makes English orthography look like a mad science project.

An alignment chart mapping all dark souls 1 bosses against the axes "easy to hard" and "fair to bullshit"

Finally got around to beating Dark Souls 1 (I've done all the other soulsy games) and have produced a scientific alignment chart for each boss based on real science and empirically "getting my ass kicked a bunch":
