Congradulations!Victory!
With Gwyn defeated and this playthrough concluded I am now ready to move on to Dark Souls 2. I am not done with Dark Souls 1 and I will probably return in the future as I have more playthroughs planned but for the time being I shall focus on something else.
Anyway these are my five playthroughs and the ending level I had for each of them. Which I will share with you totally unsolicited.
Guy de Leonne - 115
Lorencio the Lasombra - 110
Brother Albrecht of the Black Templars - 87
Sir Godfrey the Dragonbane Knight - 89
Luthor the Heretic - 81
So as you can se its a vast improvement in my skills as I've been playing this game.

I'm back to some more Dark Souls and working my way forward with Dark Souls 2

I am currently doing a Professor Oak Challenge (or POC for short) of Pokemon Leaf Green.
It is not for the faint of heart, you need to catch, level up or otherwise fully evolve (if possible) all pokemon in certain sections before proceeding to the next gym badge.
I've been told that the segments before Brock are the second most grueling part of the challenge.
And I believe them. I've clocked 18:50 in game hours just on this first section alone.

I'm almost done with the stuff before brock haha, just gotta evolve Iveysaur and Mankey.When the going gets tough, stay strong, and don't go hollow.
Both of which are nearly ready to evolve. (Iveysaur is 5 levels away and so is Mankey ) Then I Eviscerate brock (Who's far more lower leveled and using unevolved pokemon)
It's just grueling because you're only getting 22-50 EXP per knock out of a given wild pokemon and later levels (usually 15 and higher) of the pokemon you're raising require multiple thousands of EXP. It gets easier later in the game because the pokemon drop more EXP per kill and you can eventually re challenge trainers for good EXP. But for now, it's pain.
If you want to try it, I don't suggest starting on leaf green like I did. I only started with Leaf Green because it's the game I 'know' Best out of the old games.

I've made my way to the first mist wall. I'm unsure if this is where I enter to enable PVP or if there's a boss behind this one. But either way I'm getting hyped to push through it.
EDITED: And I've got myself a nice shield as well.

Catching every pokemon is fine enough, it's leveling up/evolving them that's a bit rough.
At least in the early areas where the exp yields are barely over 100.

Not for a few weeks now, but when Suzerain: The Neutral Lens comes out, I'll try and get it.

Currently doing a Professor Oak Challenge for Leaf Green.
Also trying the Demo for Monster Hunter Stories 3. Seems to run fine on switch 2.
I wish it had graphics options like on PC though, the only option you get on switch Version is Brightness lol

I'm playing Dark Souls 2 and I've made my way to the fog gate before the first boss. There are some design choices in this game that I don't like so I can see why its ranked as the least of the Souls games. But it still a pretty damn good game on its own.
EDITED: But since I can't avoid PVP invasions by other players and I get not enjoyment from PVP I've regretfully decided to skip this game. Its a shame but there it is. I can't justify playing a game and laying down so much time when I know I won't enjoy it. It hurts a bit but there it is.
To get something from it I'll just have to watch Let's Plays and lore videos and read the lore on wikis and such, and move on to Dark Souls 3 and keep enjoying my gaming.

The players invading you aspect has been toned down in 3 (You have to actually be in online mode for it to happen, there are a few 'npc' fights dotted about but they aren't as annoying as real players.) and Eldin Ring you can avoid it completely. I don't recall how it works in BB since I only saw that in a Let's Play and they did it in offline mode.
I wouldn't mind the invading mechanic if you didn't actually drop your souls. I'll have to give Eldin Ring another go since I never finished it. Each playthrough I get a bit further but still.
If you want something Dark Souls like but Single player Try Tunic, it's equally hard (especially early game when you aren't powered up) but it feels a lot more like a classic Zelder than anything.

Once I'm done with Dark Souls 3, Tunic and Elden Ring could be options. But I've also got Sekiro and that's a strict single player game so I've got some options to play to avoid the hated invasions.
I'll have a look at Tunic and see if it something I might get further down. Right now I've got so many games in my Steam library that I feel that I should at least try some of them before I get more. :/

I'm the same way, my back log is more of a twig but I'd like to 'take care of business' before I purchase anything else.
Plus OOT Remake is on the way with a new Fire Emblem also, I'll be busy for a while. You might also try Beast of Reincarnation, it's a souls like made by Game Freak thats purely single player (I think)

Anyway, right now I've decided to give myself some variation so I'm playing a bit of Pharaoh (Yes, that old classic game) and on-and-off Vermintide 2 where I'm doing achivement hunting
Dark Souls 3 will be coming up shortly
