I think this was one of those "tired of waiting for silksong so I'll make my own hollow knight-like" games and I really wonder how many of those are now dead in the water

I feel like if they were doing a bad job on purpose they'd pick a less embarrassing way to go about it

I don't think I've ever seen anyone argue that puzzle games should have hint systems for example

I think this also highlights how flattened the concept of "difficulty" has become, people talk about like it's a single linear scale you can crank up and down but there's infinite things that could make a game hard for any specific person

Potentially relevant incident: the time my friend insisted I'd said there was another girl at a tournament I went to, and it turned out what i'd actually said was that there was another anji-mito main

it's like that one character in crypt of the necrodancer who dies when you miss a note

oh yeah I get REALLY bad nausea too, but I have medication that helps with that thankfully

migraines suck so bad. its like, your brain just goes absolutely haywire, with symptoms that would make most people think they're literally dying, for basically no discernible reason. ok sure.

luckily I only have migraines a couple times a month at most but in retrospect the harp is like the perfect instrument for triggering this lol

People like the aesthetics of horror, not so much the content unfortunately

People are playing the dark souls in their head rather than the dark souls they've got
