FolkenRawr 06/05/23 8:51:42 PM #2:	Nah. I'm dogshit at video games and if my SNES Classic is any indicator(it is) I've somehow gotten much worse over the years. I'm pretty okay with Pikachu in Melee, though. Halfway decent at Conker's BFD multi-player.

Xatrion 06/05/23 9:01:23 PM #13:	Something gaming has taught me many times over the years, is that there's always someone better. You beat Dark Souls? That's just great, hon.

Aressar 06/05/23 9:01:40 PM #15:	Yes, but I'm professional in the way games are supposed to be played, as opposed to rushing in with the bare minimum like those NERDS do, who always manage to ruin multiplayer for everyone, so I'll just stay professional in single player mode.
