    Skill-driven games require major dedication. Why would @rumschlumpel@feddit.org care to suffer through Silksong, not knowing what to do or where to go, getting frustrated by having to memorize enemy moves, etc. when there are experts out there who have already discovered everything and the most efficient takedown methods (or other amateurs who don’t find it as painful to explore so)? I see nothing wrong with this.

    I used to be a huge gamer but frankly I find tinkering with Syncthing and Espanso perhaps even more fun than playing tough games, and watching NC (no-commentary) playthroughs by people who have already tested everything, etc.

      This comment is so funny to me. I watch game streams primarily because I don’t have time to play most games, but Silksong is the one game in the last year that I was excited enough about to play through myself.
