Tbh I find myself playing games that have high skill ceilings and beating levels/bosses feel like real achievements, such as Celeste, nethack, and dark souls.

Im opposite. I used to be very "Hardcore" in terms of difficulty and nowadays I'm just...

Laid back.

I beat Celeste 100% in the past (5000+ deaths in Farewell, pure suffering) and nowadays when I replay it I enjoy it much more with assist mode turned on (90% speed and the double dash from the start)

nethack

now that’s a name i wasn’t expecting to see, and i’m curious: any clue how large the fanbase is these days?

From what I can tell, it's not something with a player base like fortnite, but it's not underground enough to not have a wiki.
