[rel☠x] Allotropy 😛: This player is fantastic! Just needs to work on movement, prediction, awareness, aim, dodging, spam spots, timing, weapon switching, trickjumps, positioning, item control, map knowledge and INTUITION!
That was how my mom taught us. I didn't win a board game, card game, video game, word game, or car game until I damn well earned it. First time I beat her at chess the look of complete shock and bafflement on her face was priceless.
Haha I remember the first time I beat my dad in chess. I think it was mostly luck, since I won in like 3 turns (I later learned it's called the fools gambit or something). Was very funny, and is still the only time I've beat him
Reminds me of a moment in Deltarune that's sort of the opposite of this:
Minor spoilers: >!In Chapter 1, if you look under Asreal's bed you find a console with two controllers, one original and one knock-off. Then at the very end of Chapter 2 if you look at Toriel's monitor in her classroom, it'll say something like "The desktop background is you and your brother playing videogames. He's using a knock-off controller."!<
That hit me unreasonably hard lol. It was a mix of "AAAAAAAAA he's such a good older brother 😭" and "Jesus Christ this is some good fucking storytelling." It's a callback to the very beginning of the game, which you find at the very end of the demo. An absolute gem of storytelling put into the flavor-text of two otherwise mundane objects, the latter of which is in a totally optional room. It's such a subtle yet beautiful way of showing that he loves you.
A few tears were shed. It was a great reward for being so thorough in reading all of the flavor-texts throughout the game.
You give yourself an obvious handicap. Play with one hand. If they can beat you go to 2 hands. If they can't beat you 2 hands try playing with the controller upsidedown
