@“buy-frank-lewd-mags”#p151244 So if NTSCworld is Fortnite, and PALworld is … well Palworld, then what is indeed SECAMworld ?

If mandatory deaths aren‘t counted for the concept of “most lethal enemy”, then the boss at the beginning of elden ring is still eligible. Unlike other souls opening bosses, I don’t think there's a single person who played the game for the first time and beat that boss, despite it being technically beatable.
There's no trick or gimmick to it at all, it's simply a boss which is tuned to be too difficult to sight-read without being able to heal, and which doesn't allow you to try fighting it again after you die. (until you have gained said healing ability and traveled across two large areas of the game.)
All that is to say: fighting that specific enemy is the literal first thing you do in that game, which means pretty much every person who ever created a character and pressed accept has almost certainly experienced at least one death there.
Of course, I would agree that The Goomba is the most likely candidate. The weight of the sheer amount of time and omnipresence of opportunity is difficult to beat. By that principle, I don't think any recently released (last 10 years) game could possibly have anything in it which cracks the top 100 of hyper-lethals.
@“thebryanjzx90”#p150801 I know this isn't the confession thread, but I absolutely remember patiently waiting my turn to play Super Mario Bros. for the first time, failing to jump over the goomba, and then being quietly devastated while my friend played for another five minutes before I got to try again.
Uhhhh what the heck. I’m kind of freaked out right now. Somebody help. Explain what is going on.
Last night, I was randomly watching terrestrial live TV, and thinking, man, nobody watches live TV anymore. I flipped to TVK, テレビ神奈川, the local Kanagawa station, and caught the last ten minutes of some old movie called セーラー服と機関銃 (Sailor Suit and Machine Gun). Some high school girl kissed a dude’s corpse on the lips in a morgue. Then she stood on a bridge playing a harmonica. Then she walked down the street in her sailor uniform and provocative orange high heels. The movie ends with her pretending to shoot machine guns with this little boy, and she says something like 私はバカな女になりそう。きっとなる。All super long shots, no cuts. I was bummed when it ended because I thought, man, they just don’t make movies like this anymore.
Now, I’m on the train, and just listened to the last 27 minutes of this episode of the podcast, and at the end, @"exodus"#3 mentions this exact movie, seemingly for no reason??
But there must be some reason, right? Is the movie in the news? Did the director die or something? Ahhhh! Whaaat!
Just in case anyone doubts the veracity of my wild claims, here’s an article about the movie airing on TVK last night.

Seriously though, I have goosebumps right now. Freaky stuff.
@“whatsarobot”#p151442 There is no reason! Unless TVK is really clued in with Barnes & Noble sales, because they had Arrow blu-rays 50% off which is what led me to finally buying this thing. but the disc came out in nov 2021 so yeah. just one of those things!
The director did die but quite a while ago.
The most likely scenario is they put it on there because the movie was massively popular at the time, and the rest is pure coincidence.
OR TVK is stealing my brain waves which I would really appreciate some residual payments for.
@“exodus”#p151444 Haha well that sure is a heck of a coincidence. Thank you for getting back to me so quickly. Otherwise I’d be spending all day being intensely weirded out. Now I’m only regular weirded out!
Anyway I’d definitely like to watch the first however many minutes of that movie there are to watch. It’s a cool one.
@“whatsarobot”#p151446 depends on the version! critics seem to recommend watching the theatrical cut first. both versions are on the blu ray and the director's cut has an additional 18 minutes or so. kind of a lot of them!
@“exodus”#p151447 Huh! Well I wonder which one I saw the last ten minutes of. It sure did capture my attention, whichever it was.
By pure luck I was just watching S2 of Arakawa Under the Bridge and lo and behold

Lots of fans of the podcast out there is what I'm hearing.
I have just realized we somehow never got a Switch port of School Girl/Zombie Hunter. What a shame.

@“◉◉maru”#p151469 it probably would've run at about 3 fps though
appreciate the Pathologic inspired dog treat recipe
@“yeso”#p151644 Dust and ash from a box long worn and dead make it a Dark Souls 3 inspired recipe
If you want to talk about Pathologic treats they you have to get some regional wild herbs, alcohol, and bulls blood in those bad boys!
{“sticky”:false}
Just saw this cooked little image pop up on Facebook (and it was posted on Jan 30 no less). Now trying to find out if the poster is a fellow IC head or if it's just a coincidence
@“BippityJones”#p151772 you‘re correct, but the dog treat recipe could be out of Pathologic because it’s basically how shmowder is made in that game, substituting ground up fragments of dog treats for random pills fished out of the trash by local children
