Sometimes I don't like running over or killing random bystanders in GTA games or similar

Most of my life i used guides up until i was 15.

I thought Danganronpa was about who you manage to let live and having different outcomes and trials depending on who dies.

Due to unfortunate events, i will continue to exist until further notice. (also i'm fluid now)

I was one of those people who thought Pinsir evolved into Heracross. I think I didn't learn the truth until Gen 4.

Tbh I never really hated his minigames in the original, but they did make them better in the remake.

I'm really bad at most 3D platformers not because I suck at platforming (though I'm certainly not good at it) but because I, for some reason, always get lost during them. For example, while playing through Psychonauts 2, I wasn't sure how to get to get to the Questionable Area so I tried to get there through the Abandoned Psitanium Mine and somehow ended up out of bounds.

Mostly lurking in forums and on trope pages.

[up][up] Similarly, I thought Farfetch'd evolved into Doduo. Didn't know the truth 'til 2011.

I got stuck on the Ice Man scenario in Mega Man Battle Network 1 for literal years cause I couldn't find Froid's son.

Somehow looking it up never occurred to me until later.

I took a break from BOTW for 4 years due to thinking I'd never get anywhere in it. Thankfully I returned to it recently and made actual progress.

When I first played Pokémon SoulSilver, I named a Sentret "Sexy". I was only about ten and I didn't know what that word meant back then, I only chose it because it was alliterative.

[up] Speaking of SS, I was stuck on Lance for years. Teen Reiko had no idea what she was doing so just put the game down and kinda forgot about it. Then my DSi vanished, and it was only this year that we found it again and I was able to defeat him with Lugia. I uh... also forgot in that time that I already had a Lickitung so ended up pointlessly seeking out and capturing one to show to Bill's grandfather. And... I think I might have actually sold the Charcoal I got from the guy in Azalea. Shame too, I'd love for my Ninetales to have that boost to her fire moves. (Yeah I did a lot of dumb shit in this file lol that's why I'm deleting it and starting fresh after I beat Red, but not before I rename and transfer my Ampharos and Quagsire)

Wasted a Master Ball on the Rayquaza in Pokemon Alpha Sapphire. It was my very first Pokemon game and I didn't know it had a boosted catch rate...ever since then I've literally never used a Master Ball on anything.

Due to my habit of reading the Zelda ALTTP manual over and over and over again cause I knew I'd never beat the game, I thought Geldman, the random desert sand enemy, was a boss cause the art made him look like one.

Last night I bought the RetroPie edition of Donut Dodo on Itch.io without knowing what RetroPie is. It’s a multi-system emulator built for Raspberry Pi computer models, and the game only works on Raspberry Pi. I tried it on my Ubuntu VM and a Raspbian VM, and it didn’t work.

It was only $6, far from the most irresponsible purchase I’ve made, but wasted money is wasted money.

I rage quit on Fire Emblem: Awakening. More specifically, in one of the best levels of the series, Chapter 10 Renewal. That's because the last chapter brought me so much rage on the fact were i tried recluting everybody and not letting anyone die that i just got so tired.

Only Fire Emblem: Three Houses got me back into the series. And i at least consider that "Don't speak her name!" is one of the best themes in the series now.

I feel so dumb...Spent hours trying to reach Rito Village in BOTW by gliding, I kept trying to map paths and the updrafts and stuff and find high enough places to jump from, and turns out there's a bridge and I could walk there.

When I first played Live A Live (the SNES original, not the remake), I didn't realize you could save from the menu in Cube's chapter and I went through the entire thing without saving. Considering some of the ways you can very easily die in his chapter, it's very lucky that I didn't.

Tbh I never really hated his minigames in the original, but they did make them better in the remake.

When in the Yiga Clan Hideout in BOTW I entered the correct room to progress, but didn't notice the fake metal wall despite using Magnesis to get the treasure chests out, and promptly got caught trying to escape and died. Then after purposely avoiding that room in subsequent runs, thinking it was a trap, I was completely confused at where to go and had to look it up.

Boy did I feel silly.

I didn't finish the genocide run of Undertale, but not because it was too sad or anything like that, but rather because I couldn't beat Undyne the Undying.

I've only mained weapons with the subweapon Sprinkler throughout the Splatoon series. Why? I think I just liked the turfing capabilities. Personal favorites were:

  • Splatoon 1- N-Zap '89
  • Splatoon 2- Slosher Deco, Bloblobber Deco and Kensa Dynamo Roller
  • Splatoon 3- Dynamo Roller, Bloblobber, and Aerospray RG.

Peahats from OOT terrified me as a kid. I remember running away from them frantically cause I didn't know how to kill them.

A lot of 2D Zelda enemies get scarier (and bigger) in 3D.

Those characters that had to be unlocked by doing special things in Vampire Survivors?

...I used cheat codes to unlock two of them.
