I thought Canada was like our hat or some shit so was kind of part of us.

It's where we store cold air for our air conditioners.

Also this is amusingly relevant again.

I'm like 1.78 meters (5 ft 10in) and weigh like 62 kg (135 lb). I've been working out to try and gain weight, but apparently I've got a small black hole somewhere in my digestive system. Averaging probably 4000+ calories a day, haven't really gained weight this summer.

Oh yeah, hadn't consider IWBTG, must have been trying to repress the memory.

ITWBTG is stupid. It's hard, but a lot of times it's only hard because you just don't know what in a certain room is going to kill you until it does a dozen times. You have to die twenty times in some rooms just to finally see the solution, that doesn't make a good game imo.

I agree with this.
Artificial difficulty isn't fun, imo. If a game is literally impossible to beat your first time through simply due to lack of knowledge then it's not true difficulty.


Normally I would agree, but that's sort of the point of IWBTG. The guy set out to make a really hard game, not a fair one. If you're playing the game you're probably already aware of what you're getting yourself into. Plus all of the Nintendo stuff is pretty silly and makes it bearable. Finally beating a really hard section is incredibly satisfying.

Edit: Also the game requires a lot of twitch reflexes which is real difficulty.

I agree, plus, when you die it's not a big deal since you can respawn very quickly without even having to wait for the game over screen to appear, so it's actually very friendly to restarting.

Play games like Gradius 3 arcade version---that game is just impossible. I don't think I've ever beaten level 3.

Yeah even if you're mechanically terrible like me, you just have to grind the iwbtX games until you know how to move and what happens.

The very definition of artificial difficulty.

I mean, at some point it becomes questionable whether IWBTG is actually more difficult than other platformers once you pass the point of memorizing all the gimmicks that exist to kill you the first time through but are straightforward to avoid once you remember it's there. It's still obviously difficult, but the difficulty relative to other platformers after you remember all the "fuck you" stuff is pretty questionable to me.

I played a lot of Super Mario ROM hacks and the stupidest ones were full of invisible coin blocks. Usually those levels weren't even creative in how you were supposed to execute movement, but instead relied on the lack of information to force you to grind the level a lot.

Games that are actually difficult are ones where you know the exact layout and backend yet still can't complete it. Chess is incredibly difficult but the rules are straightforward and transparent.

true, but then you set the difficulty up to impossible

I read that article. Everyone who intends on being a parent should read that article. It's gut-wrenching, heart breaking, and depressing, but it's a bitter pill.

Run some tests and report back. Try as you might, you can't theorycraft IWBTG's difficulty.

Well, in a classical platformer like Super Mario 3, generally extra lives are a finite resource, and to some extent difficulty is based on that. IWBTG does away with that, which is why I view the trial-and-error as acceptable.

Still, trial-and-error is kinda boring at times.
