  • Alright, I can see a couple of things I did completely different. While I DID dodge into the attacks (something I internalized from Souls Borne), I used it non-stop all the time. I also focused on my enemies instead of myself for better aim. I also didn’t play with a controller, I played with mouse and keyboard which made my focus on the enemy/crosshair more or less mandatory.

    All in all I played waaaaaaaaaay too aggressive. It never crossed my mind that I should play safe.



  • Have to say FTL must be the weirdest game I have ever played. I bought it right when it came out back in 2012 and I loved it. But for the life of me I couldn’t finish it. That fucking super cruiser boss pummelled me every single time. I had no chance. And I tried so many times.

    At some point I just gave up and forgot about it. Until last year when YouTube auto play threw a beginners guide for FTL into my playlist and I found out one can pause the game by pressing space. You can freeze the game, think, give your commands and unfreeze it. I did not know that because nobody gives a shit about tutorials.

    So I immediately downloaded FTL, started a run and beat it “first try”. Then I started again with that Drone Ship, and I won. Then I started another run, this time with that stone thingy ship and I won again! I couldn’t beat it once back then, then I beat it three times in a row knowing the function of the space bar.

    What I’m trying to say is: Don’t be like me, play the stupid tutorial.

    PS: I wonder if I also did something wrong with Enter the Gungeon…

    Kentarō Miura died in May 2021.

    Osama Bin Laden died in May 2011.

    3657 days apart to be precise.

    3: 3 planes managed to hit their targets on 911.

    6: Guts started his sword training at the age of 6.

    5: Griffith becomes the fifth member of the God Hand.

    7: WTC 7 was one of the buildings destroyed in the terrorist attacks of 911.

    I am not making this up. The numbers don’t lie. These two fates are deeply connected.

    Which means the victims of 911 had a pretty solid idea of the pain I had to go through when Miura died before finishing Berserk.
