Agreed about ER. Although, I try to play more relaxing games if I'm playing late in the evening. I'm finally at the final legacy dungeon in the DLC, and boy oh boy there's an enemy in there that killed me so fast in like 3 hits. It was over before I even had time to react, lol. I called it a night and switched to something else before bed.

That's the one thing I finally learned with the DLC that I should have learned long before this - leaving and coming back later instead of fighting and dying to a tough boss 30 times in a row

For sure, taking breaks is important if I get frustrated with a game. Fortunately enough the only boss to truly stump me so far has been Commander Gaius. I eventually summoned 2 of my friends and the fight became a lot more fun, but even with 2 other people it took us probably 15ish attempts due to the massive health increase caused by summons and I'm also on NG+. I'm sure the final boss will be tougher, since I've heard from everyone who crazy it gets.

I've been better about my pacing this DLC, too. When the game initially launched and I binged it for about 2 months straight and was super burnt out by the end (had a lot more free time back then due to COVID and only 1 kid).

I mean. To be fair, I’ve never played Elden Ring but from what I’ve seen it’s a very pretty game

Elden Ring is absolutely beautiful. Since the DLC they've stepped up their game, using shadow and light to make something that's really special.
