Got slapped to death a bunch of times.

A Hat in Time

[NullForceOmega]

Reduced Rogue Process to a sliver of health, then the damned game failed to register FOUR thrust attacks IN A ROW.  Cue Rogue getting a lucky hit and me getting killed.

The Surge.

[AzyWng]

The game I play is hard. Once you outright die (not to be confused with reaching zero health), the margin of error gets really, really small because the ghost essentially prevents you from undoing your actions.

Some of the obstacles (like the mushrooms, the vampires, and those big red spiders) are pretty clever in their execution, but so far I've just been having trouble playing the game.

Really like how the title screen actually teaches you about some of these things, though.

Edit: Right.
Just been dying a lot in general.

[Egan_BW]

Not only did you not tell us what game that is, you didn't actually say how you died.

[KittyTac]

Okay, HoP was handing out all-access. I went to EVA, grabbed the space equipment and went off to explore. On my like 3rd raid, I got shot to death by the turrets at a space ruin. RIP.

Space Station 13

[Akura]

Turns out when the storm shrinks, it shrinks fast. Didn't kill me, but the guy I was tailing did.

Fortnite. Still calling bullshit, I'm seeing rounds fly by me several feet to my right, yet still damaging me.

Nearly cleared the True Arena, using Cutter Kirby. Not as used to it as Hammer, so took more hits than I wanted to. Hammer has higher DPS and more predictable invulnerability frames, but is completely lacking in range. Cutter can hit at interesting attack angles that other abilities can't, and has a melee combo that does nearly as much damage as the Hammer, but is harder to control your positioning. Interesting attack angles don't mean squat when it's Sectonia, who teleports faster than the cutter blades can hit, and is often too far away for the melee combo to trigger.

Kirby: Planet Robobot.

[Dunamisdeos]

Warhammer: Vermintide 2

Was launched approximately 300 feet into a river by a Bile Troll. I should have remembered that dwarves do not have [INNATE_SWIM].

[hector13]

I’m not quite sure what happened, but I think the bandit chief jabbed me in the throat twice with her shield and then stabbed me with her sword.

But hey, my heavy armor skill went up, ‘causing me to level up on the hit that killed me!

Skyrim super duper HD or whatever the re-release was about

[Man of Paper]

Started the game on the Overpass, game starts me off with a Radstorm and a pack of Ghouls three feet from me. While getting away from them a survivor being mauled by dogs ran past me. The dogs peeled off and went for me, taking me out in two hits.

Fallout 4 FROST mod.

[Akura]

Built a SSTO rocket at a 45° incline, and a horizontal support structure of girder segments beneath. The idea was to not waste fuel trying to turn to establish orbit, either at launch or after leaving the atmosphere. I had already tried the concept in the spaceplane hangar, but since I had started with the support structure, you can't control the actual rocket without quickly switching to it after launch. Turns out, you can't reset the base part and control defaults to the base section rather than the section with crew/command. On this one I started with the cockpit and built down.

It actually worked despite part of the launch structure exploding, and the craft did establish orbit within a single stage with a bit of fuel to spare. It wasn't exactly a good rocket design, just proof of concept.

Now as for what went wrong, I kinda de-orbited a little too aggressively, resulting in the wings and tail fins burning off during re-entry... not that I was assuming it was going to make any successful landing. As it spiraled out of control, it ended up pointing directly backwards, so I used the last of the fuel to slow down. Tried to deploy the landing gear, but the forward gear wouldn't deploy and the craft was pushed to point upwards anyways.

I would say it was a technically successful landing since the cockpit survived impact(the only thing that did), meaning the entire crew survived.

Technically Successful Landing is Kerbalese for, "Aside from bowel microbes, no life was lost."

Got smashed by a level 45 bandit leader with a 2 handed hammer, when I myself was level 3.

Heavily modded Skyrim

[askovdk]

Finally got through 'Alien Isolation' after many many deaths.
It's been a love/hate relationship, as I love the high quality of background graphics and sound, but am getting ill from the horror.
The trick that made it possible for me to survive (not Amanda, - me in the real world) was to learn not to care. The savepoints are generously distributed, so if you just walk cool, then sometimes you die, but sometimes you make it.

About the ending:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

I had hoped for a final showdown ending in blasting the bastard out of an airlock (like in most of the movies). 

The Steam forum have an interesting theory, that the last section on the Torrent is just an nightmare (due to waking up outside an airlock, her staying in the spacesuit, her voice not being muffled, and her moving at normal pace). So it's light of the Torrent that we see in the last second.

I like that thought, but I can't make it fit that we see Amanda hook her up to something just before the final explosion.
* If she hooked herself to Sevastopol, then she would have been burned in the gas giang, - not possible.
* If she hooked herself to something from Sevastopol that got blown free, then why bother showing the hooking up?
* If she hooked herself to something on the Torrent. That would make her waking up below the stairs (to the ceiling entrance hatch?) make sense if she somehow got in during a mental blackout.

I guess I will have too play the start again to check the pictograms on the Torrent to check if the stair outside the medbay indeed could be an entrance hatch.

Had a really epic encounter where I ran out of ammo with only 60 nitra and had to grapple around a cavern looking for more during a swarm.  Managed to get my ammo back up... then got grabbed by a cave leech.

Bosco went directly below me then fired straight up into it.  AKA he tried to shoot through me.  As a result despite firing 4 bursts he did not manage to save me and I'd used up my two rezzes.

Deep Rock Galactic.  We were asking for trouble pairing up Bosco with a robot and a small person; I've seen Gokaiger.

I'm trying to play through the god of war trilogy (I've played them before I just never beat them), the first game was going fine but then I got to hades, hades is the most infuriating part of the game not because of a difficulty spike but because of the fucking level design. they only reason I'm dying is because of the fucking spikes on the rotating pillars. fuck the pillars, I wish that who ever made those pillars has to go through the fucking pillars for the rest of eternity. fuck.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

sorry, the combination of the knock back of the spikes and the checkpoint system has made me incredibly angry because its not actual difficulty it is artificial difficulty because the entire level is nothing but those pillars
