this is a less hypnohorny alt, just for random posting lmao. about games/movies/shows, whatever. maybe will post a bit about Creative process here but that's as canon as it will get.
i'll happily replay HK for a fourth or fifth time, but idk if i wanna touch silksong (alone) again.

the game's good is excellent. but, while i tried to be mindful and patient and embrace the Intended Experience, the bits that snagged me (shell shards, certain runbacks, the unrelenting rhythm in exploration AND combat that allowed no tension release) hampered the overall a lot for me.

i found this way harder than ds1/ds2/bloodborne fwiw, so maybe I'm particularly bad at 2D but shrug. 36 hours, 7 masks (i was one shard away from an eighth), 2 nail upgrades, MOST side quests etc.

everyone's got a different tolerance but this leaned slightly too far into tedium, into "fuck you" for my enjoyment. it also hurt the usual relief/dopamine rush of actually surmounting a challenge, as i mostly just felt relief each was over lol. which is disappointing! but a lesson learned

the game has a lot of good, and its challenge is Surmountable, but idk if I like the ratio of Fun Challenge Time vs Tedium time. life is short x3

LOVED Hollow Knight but atm if the game's difficulty/tedium balance remains the same, or worsens, no way I'll even beat Act 2, let alone 3. which sucks!
