Performance Anxiety

Proceeding through the next area, I get cornered by a Scion and some Abominations and get killed. Mom is displeased.

I reload and try again, but once again make a mistake and get killed.

Mom: You really suck at this game.

Me: Shush!

This time, I cloak and try to bypass all the enemies and hack the door. Cloak ends up running out right between two Scions and I die again.

Dad: How many tries do you get?

Me: As many as I want. There’s no lives or anything.

Mom: Good, you need a lot of tries.

Me: This is one of the hardest parts in the game!

Mom: I don’t want to hear it.

As a flailing effort to retain my Gamer Cred I feel compelled to tell you that I’ve beaten the Derelict Reaper on Insanity with a Vanguard in a single attempt.
