      I’m also slowly getting into it. Just got a run yesterday where I got a super good wand in the hisi base. I was shooting these blue bubbles at high speed with homing. It had so much knockback that I could use only that to fly. It was the first time where I got to level 5,6 and even 7 and I was still breezing through. But I still died. I used a wand with lots of slots as storage for spells and it killed me immediately. Can’t describe how terrible I felt after that…

        Yeah once I randomly got a wand with lightening bolt.

        Holy shit that spell is awesome, and also very dangerous.

        Took me to the end of level 3 before, i killed myself with it. Lmao.

        DunkOrSlam is awesome! I’ve learned so much. Now I die slightly later lol. But seriously, very nice community. Long live the moist mob! (!uguu)

    Fear and Hunger man… that game is like a playable version of Berserk as a random person, rather than Guts.

    I do recall a joke about something similar.

    “LSD and Unix both came out of UC Berkeley, I do not believe that this is a coincidence.”

    Noita is really interesting, but I feel like the base game’s balance is janky. You can play really well and just get utterly fucked on wands. They have this amazingly nuanced magic system but it feels like you rarely get the chance to harness it or experiment and death is very easy.

    Don’t get me wrong, I highly recommend it if you like side scrolling rogue-lites. Plus the game’s a LOT bigger than it first appears.

      After playing for hundreds of hours, I decided that being fucked so often and so arbitrarily is the secret sauce that makes god-runs the fantastic dopamine rush that they are. Eventually, you attain equanimity with death; only then are you ready to ascend.

        I played a lot and once had a really good run and got really far. After that I didn’t want to play any more because it felt it would take too long to ever get beyond that run.

        Some kind of checkpoint from which you could start when you die would probably work better for me.

    My friend’s theory was that a lot of it is because of how long and dark the winters are in northern europe.

      That same lots of free time for many and early projects by universities to connect to the internet, and there’s a whole lot of us Nordic nerds around

      Maybe this is how they balance their lives? “I’m too happy, I need to create evil in some way”

      Haven’t played Baba is You, but ULTRAKILL is 10/10. I love it, I just can’t play it. There’s a certain boss fight I’ve gotten stuck on and can’t get past because the game’s pacing and music sends my heart rate through the roof and my ability to control my fine motor functions and ability to be patient and wait for attack patterns just kinda regresses to that of a 5yr old (music can have a very strong affect on me, Ultrakill’s music is extremely fast).
