Broke: This boss is bullshit.

Woke: All bosses are bullshit.

Bespoke: All bosses are bullshit, and that's what makes the game engaging.

baroque: i hate making bosses and they're always a let down anyway so my game just won't have any

@eniko this post was inspired by the fact that in my most recent ER playthrough, in which I did not use armor or defense-boosting talismans or spells, there were a lot of attacks where I was like, "wow, that's bullshit". And I found myself saying it over and over again. Until I realized that, actually, the bullshit was what made them challenging, which was the whole point.

The common denominator was that if a boss is gonna murder you with some absolute nonsense, it needs to look impressive 😁

@eniko

Dying because you got run through/eaten/blended: five stars, funny, would get eaten again

Dying because you got clipped by a random hitbox that didn't even look like a deliberate attack: zero stars, frustrating, I cannot believe the absolute jank this game sucks

@eniko anyway my point is that you should totally make bosses and make them complete bullshit on purpose 😛
