I feel this. I’m 300 deaths in. 140 hours. 0 wins.
99% of my deaths now are unavoidable stuff like a worm shooting out of the side of the screen right into me. But I still have never built a really good wand. Some chainsaw sparks, and a few bouncy machine guns. The youtube vids where a streamer builds an aamzing wand by the third level just seems faked at this point.
Will I keep trying? Yup. Because I enjoy it? I don’t know… I keep opening the damn thing.
why!? I’m not sure that game makes me hate myself as much as it makes me hate the game - most of the time it’s just bad luck when I die … once I git gud it’s like slowly accumulating power until I’m god, and then it’s just so delightful and satisfying - that game is just so psychologically brilliant that way
A lot of my deaths come from accidentally exploding, electrifying, cremating, or goring myself. I love the game for it. A telltale sign of a well-designed game is when failure causes the player to blame themselves and not the game.
