I learned that technically, one could argue that a knife isn't always a dagger in the same way a rectangle isn't always a square. Daggers are a subset of knives (being sharpened on both edges instead of just one) and thus technically the single edged Bandit's Knife is not a dagger.

On the topic of "getting bored" with otherwise good games: You're right, it's not a failing on the games' part. What's happened is you've identified what it is about gaming that motivates you. You're the type of gamer who lives for the rush of overcoming a great challenge, either by wit or by will. Games which cater to that need are going to hook you and keep you hooked. This is not to cast dispersions on other games, they're just not about challenging yourself. They set challenges and expect you to overcome them, but they do not offer the tools to handicap yourself and see just what you can do within the rules. In a sense, many games are man vs art; the games you like are man vs himself. I'd love to see you do some rogue-lite style games. I enjoyed FTL: Faster Than Light; and if you've not tried Payday 2, build variety and off-meta options abound and can make challenge runs very fun.

It wasn't the biggest challenge run, or the most exciting. However when the music started playing at the end and your closing monologue started, I found it really touching. Peaceful even, which I thing was your goal. It's funny there is almost a story within the story of these individual challenge runs. I don't know if that's the point or even intentional. However, it makes even these smaller challenge runs really enjoyable. Almost like this video is a peaceful bonfire one can rest at before pushing ahead to whatever, crazy or intense, challenge run comes next. You know, I think I kind of like that. Thanks Lemon

If you're looking for some fun hollow knight challenges, one of my favorite challenges is the nail only playthrough. Only using the spells for exploration purposes rather than combat since there's a few spots where the dive spell breaks floors. Conversely, trying to beat it without using your nail is a much harder challenge if you want that.

There are some pretty decent daggers in DS1, so this should be a fun and relaxed one. Edit: Didn't disappoint. Daggers are indeed fun. Too bad you didn't use the Ghost Blade, even cheating it in would be fine as the drop rate is indeed annoying. The move set is quite fun. Although I agree that the Dark Silver Tracer is probably the best one. Too bad the Painting Guardian Sword is no dagger as well, that one is quite fun too. IMHO most of the starting weapons are pretty good and a decent pick to carry you through the whole game if you want to.

If you found hollowknight meh because of lack of challenge, there's a randomizer mod you can get that splits attacks, dash, cdash and wall cling up into left and right (Meaning you have to essentially find the item that lets you dash right and a separate item to dash left) this changes the pace of the game and the way you have to explore as you're limited with movement. It's a great way to change up the game and add some challenge.

This is a fun style of challenge, I did this in DS3 and only got hard stuck on some of the DLC bosses. Before actually watching the video, I'm going to make a guess based on my experiences and say it's definitely doable, but some bosses will become immensely harder due to the short range and low DPS. Light rolls and Ninja Flips for days though, making bosses much easier! Edit: No ninja flips, but besides that this went about how I expected. Bleed resistant bosses causing some problems, the rest not being too bad. Glad this was a good break, I'll have to try this run myself!

I have the same problem when it comes to gaming. If there isn’t a way of me creating a difficult challenge I’ll most likely get bored. I like a challenge, especially if being tactical is involved. I’m currently doing a run on Call Of Duty games, at first I wanted to do a no death run on veteran and I did CoD4 on my 3rd try and didn’t even take long. CoD2 was next for me and I got bored after an hour. The campaign is actually a good one but I didn’t feel challenged enough. Then I thought of another challenge… beating it on veteran difficulty without reloading a gun at all. And honestly ot changed the game entirely, especially when I’m looking at the bullet count and knowing I need another weapon. It’s an interesting and intense challenge, and currently been doing it for a week and I’m still on CoD4! I blame DS for this, ever since I started doing challenge runs that’s all I wanna do on majority of games I play

It was actually fun having a challenge instead of killing everything quickly with +15 weapons and blocking all damage. I felt like I actually got better at the game! Especially for bosses like the iron golem. Daggers do like 35 damage per hit so the fight takes so long that I get to learn every move he has and how to dodge it.

ideas for challenge runs in hollow knight if you need it for your first run!: Downswing/nailhop only, no crystal heart (requires skips), no healing, minimum bosses... There're tons more too, a quick youtube search will give more ideas. Plus, once you unlock Godhome and the Pantheons they're specifically designed to have different "bindings" restrictions you can apply, and you can fight every boss like that. There's a lot to do in hollow knight!

PZ is one of my favorite games ever. I would love to see challenge runs of that game from you! Can you "beat" PZ using only kitchen tools? Can you get from X to Y in a certain amount of time, maybe involving some high speed car wrecks. I dunno, i'm not a creative youtuber, but i do love some PZ 😍

4:12 Lemon explains masochism, and the beauty of challenge runs. My thoughts exactly, these runs help you enjoy a game you love way more and for way longer. My challenge runs are cosplays usually, Aragorn being my go to. But there's a magic to challenges: once you begin, it's hard to not do them for everything you love.

Something like this might be a fun casual challenge run for DS3 as well, since a dagger build would be great with Flynn's ring if you plan to use daggers and perhaps even the tearstone rings.

About your rant of being bored when not challenged. I'm the same but I've kind of forced myself to chill out a bit because I found I was able to actually relax and enjoy my time. I can't really explain how I did it but I've started going through my backlog and I've started to enjoy gaming again. But I also never did challenges on your level lol, mainly platinuming games.

I totally understand the bored when no challenge bit of playing games. To me its a hard spot to hit, becaue I get bored quickly when things are too easy, but also get bored when things are so hard it just takes an excessive amount of time. If things are hard to do but reward me for my skill, thats when im having the best time

I have an idea for the run. I call it the Ooh Shiny run. Whenever you encounter a weapon you must pick it up and use it until you encounter another weapon. Added difficulty to limit levels/souls so you can't just grind your way to being able to use all weapons at any time. I mean it can be done, but to me seems like a fun idea.

I honestly like these kinds of challenge runs. Like, of course you can beat the game with only daggers, but you’re gonna learn a LOT about them in the process. Considering my lack of gotten good (never beat the game legit), these videos are a great way to learn about the game, and maybe give something new a try…if I can get to it, that is. Regardless, I don’t know if you take suggestions for runs down here, but maybe doing the polar opposite of this in a Great Hammer run could be interesting. Maybe even go for early Demon’s Great Hammer.

DS3, sl15 bandit knife +3 was the single most fun run I've ever had in a souls game. Just the right balance of insane challenge without downright unfair. You feel like fantasy Batman

I've loved keeping Priscilla's Dagger in the offhand as a finisher while keeping a great scythe or a gold traced in the main hand. it's extremely effective
