Terraria may be one of my favorite games of all time, but many of the bosses have flash visual effects, rapid attacks, spammed projectiles, high speed dashes, and teleports. It becomes a mindflood. Seeing the "Git Gud" toxic meme applied to Terraria of all games is bewildering
I can enjoy plenty of hard tier games; I've solo'd every souls game and had a great time, I love shit like DMC and even rapid twitch games like Ultrakill on lethal difficulty, but fucking Terraria bosses like moon lord destroy my brain. I don't think I've ever beaten him solo, and I still have an absurdly hard time with the majority of bosses past hard mode.
"Git Gud" ableism has turned me off interacting with Gamers more than anything (aside from the blatant racism and queerphobia that have always been rampant in gamer circles) and threatened to ruin my enjoyment of series I loved. When asking for help or takking about how a particular progress wall is antithetical to how your brain works is just met with smug jeering, it is ableism. Beating a game without help, or by placing arbitrary limitations on yourself (no magic, no coop, no npc summons etc etc) is not a virtuous act motherfucker, it's a game, a toy to enjoy.
I have no qualms about modding shit to fit your play better, or to get around bullshit that you can't do anything but bash your head against. Playing Elden Ring with the seamless coop mod has been my most fun souls experience by far and I don't give a single fuck if gamers whine about it being easy mode (or whine about the ability to turn off invasions in the config file - to that I say lol get fucked, we're playing in our own tranquil world fuckers)
