i actually play games on hard because i hate myself, specifically
So you basically mainline Bennet Foddy games?
Bennett Foddy games are the perfect balance of challenging, unforgiving, and not actually that difficult. A lot like dark souls 1 and 3. I love them
I genuinely wouldn't know, as I have never actually played one, but I have watched/listened to a couple different streamers do it. It's a perfect game for streamers, as far as I can tell, but seems extremely frustrating if you are (like many streamers) not that good at video games. Which isn't their job, their job is to be entertaining, and this game certainly delivers that.
Like Northern Lion is a god at Issac, but his Bazaar Era was extremely fun to watch because he was extremely bad at the game, and I honestly couldn't tell if he is trolling the audience or actually being real half the time (kinda like Jerma). Shit is funny to watch.
Streamers play up the difficulty and frustration for content. Getting Over It is like a mildly challenging 2-4 hour game. If you're really bad at games it's maybe more like 10 hours.
Exactly. So I am just playing into the meme, but not really a solo gamer (I pretty much only play with my friend group on a rotation of solid indie titles and friendslop).
