Soulslike - Discussion, News, Memes
This is a community for discussion, news, and memes pertaining to the video game sub-genre "soulslike".
Given Lemmy's size, the definition of soulslike may be treated relatively loosely. While games like the numerous FromSoft titles, the recent Star Wars Jedi games, Lies of P, Nioh and similar games should be the focus, games that incorporate soulslike elements - like Hollow Knight and Blasphemous, for example - may also be discussed here.
Basic Lemmy-quette applies. Additionally, since flairs don't exist yet, please do make sure to include a marker to denote what game your post is about in square brackets for clarity's sake. An example could be:
[BB] This enemy is so difficult!
or
[DS1] Anyone struggling with the gargoyles?
Friends:
Should you have any questions, please do let me know.

I've lived in UK, Iran, and Canada.
Iranian school system is a lot less than accomodating. Yeah you can retake the university entrance exams after a year, but they're a nightmare. 5hr exam, 1min per multiple choice question. Need the bathroom? You can go but you lose time.
I don't know what this would be called in English, but the questions, if answered incorrectly could lower your score by the equivelant of 1/3rd of a correct answer. Was better to leave it blank than make a mistake. Luckily I moved before I turned 18. If I had stayed until after I'd have to do 2 years of military service, and take the entrance exam.
I did one year of highschool in Canada and didn't really understand that I could ask for accomodations. Actually, I didn't know dropping courses was an option. In Iran an individual question from Islamic studies had twice the weight of a question in biology. This particular exam was for biology related fields, medicine, pharmacology, dentistry etc....
University in Canada gave me accomodations like being able to take a 10minute break, use a volunteer's notes. Wasn't really enough for me. No exam retaking that I can remember. Delaying them cause of sickness or urgent situation, yes.
