It is not easy to get the hang of RPG titles that FormSoftware churns out frequently. These games offer a heightened level of difficulty, daunting boss fights, and non-linear storytelling that can get a bit confusing. The likely new owner of Twitter, Elon Musk, once compared the platform with a FormSoftware game back in 2018. This comparison could imply that being active on this platform is as difficult as figuring out how to stay alive in Dark Souls 1.

Musk is a massive fan of video games since an early age and even built the first game at the age of 12. The SpaceX founder event revealed that he earned a handsome sum of $500, which is indeed a remarkable feat.

In a similar manner, Musk compared Instagram, Twitter, and Reddit with various titles that rule the roost. Starting from his own beloved bluebird, he also went to assigned Reddit Bloodborne and dubbed Instagram to be Zelda. Nintendo’s biggest RPG franchise definitely can be compared with Instagram. The latest iteration of the franchise indeed felt like a breath of fresh air and the platform indeed feels like it.

Twitter is Dark Souls of social media. Reddit is Bloodborne. Insta is Zelda.
