At 69 years old, this dad had never played a video game in his life — until his son challenged him to beat Dark Souls to show that gaming isn’t a “waste of time.”
Starting from scratch, he:
▪️ Didn’t know how to move the character
▪️ Struggled with camera movement
▪️ Constantly ran into walls
▪️ Spent hours stuck in the tutorial
▪️ Took 5 hours to beat the first boss
Nine months, 1400+ deaths, and countless tries later… he finished the game — and called it “a thrill like nothing I’ve felt before.”
Next he’s diving into Elden Ring — and we’re all rooting for him. 🔥
