    This is the first comic that expresses why I rage quit so many games with overly difficult boss fights ( if there’s any delay measured in more than microseconds between retries ).

    I played (and still do) the original one hit kill arcade bullshit. Hell, I beat Alladin on SNES. I’m not allergic to a challenge.

    But, today, I have no time to repeat anything that isn’t fun in a video game. I could be filling out tax forms with that time.

    Edit: Rogue Legacy 2 is so good at this. It has deeply adjustable difficultly, short boss intros, and a fast forward function for when even the short intro is too long.

      Bro, for real. I just want to practice phase two Radahn with my build, but it’s such a slog just to get him there and then survive long enough to figure out the moveset.

      This is a big reason I farmed hard in Elden Ring and have 356 hours. I spent a lot of that time leveling my health up so I can take more damage. Level 156 and my health bar is like half the width of my TV lmao.

      I beat the original Ducktales and Battletoads back in the day. But, back then I had the luxury of time. Ain’t nobody got time for this shit!
