Many many years ago I used to play Maplestory. The game was a cancerous grind and rng-fest if you wanted to be top-tier. Hours and hours of grinding levels and weapon scrolls that had a 30% chance of working and a 10% chance of destroying your weapon if it fails. Naturally with such investment someone would want to post their damage on YT or forums. "Didn't count. You're using takoyaki." That being a simple attack boosting food anyone could buy for a little bit of currency IIRC.

[@1500Sachem]

It's said that there are two kinds of geniuses, the “ordinary” and the “magicians.” The ordinary one is someone who anyone could be just as good as, if we really threw ourselves into it for a very, veeery long period of time. You can see that's not somethign you can currently achieve, and that it would not be easy, but it seems achievable. And then there's the "magicians". They are someone whe excells so much at something, that even if you udnerstand how it was done, you know there's no way you can reach that level. I think this run is an example of the latter.

No summons btw, agreed with that. Bosses are already RNG. Some have moves that puts you in a waiting queue, can't hit them, can only dodge or wait. Don't have to add more RNG to a run by summoning Tiche to oneshot a boss while some other guy just got an evading mouthbreather. It's not extra arbitrary, it just ensures that someone doesn't lose because their summon decided to dolphin-dive off the planet costing them half their damage.
