Jason is delusional.

That’s how I used to beat Bowser in Super Mario Bros

It was the weapon of ineptitude

Predicting Dark Souls.

Like a bee: you don’t bother it, it won’t bother you.

Bet she wishes she could do the same with Jason!

Backwards!

Yepper… I love this arc… No agro; no fight.

Takeaway Jason: pick your fights.

It’s Colossal Cave text game all over again. It asked, “Do you want to kill the dragon with your bare hands?” Every answer “No” responded, “With what?” I had about 40 weapons, and went back to look for more. Nothing worked, not knifes, clubs, swords, guns, or grenades. In exasperation, I finally typed, “Yes” and vanquished the dragon with my bare hands! (It was the first and last text game I ever played, about 1981)

There’s a lesson here Jason.

Recently picked up a playstation 1 with few games. One was a FPS, I lasted about 30 seconds. My 14 year old grandson, never seeing the game, played for a half hour straight.
