!gaming is a community for gaming noobs through gaming aficionados. Unlike !games, we don’t take ourselves quite as serious. Shitposts and memes are welcome.

Our Rules:

1. Keep it civil.


Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only.


2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry.


I should not need to explain this one.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.


Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month.


Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

The analogy makes a lot of sense to me. Once you have an "easy button", it's hard to not use it. It's sort of like when you're at work and see the "quick workaround" effectively become the standard process.

I remember burning out on games because the cheats made them really fun in the short term, but afterward playing normally felt like agony.

I did. Completely different lol.

Look, it's like my favorite game ever, but it's pretty hard and it's not for everyone. I hope you enjoy it, but the game only ever seems to go down to $30, so I don't want someone to waste money on a game they don't like on account of me.

I guess it can refund it in Steam, though I'm not sure if 2 hours is enough time for it to gel. I've seen people say that the early boss, "Genichiro Ashina" is the first real test, and indication of what's to come. That one will be tough, but it's all about learning the attack patterns.

Sounds good to me.
I am not against a challenge.
But it's good to have different viewpoints to get a general idea what to expect (and as you said, not to waste money) ;)

Good luck! Remember: Hesitation is Defeat 😉
