I was fighting near a supernova, so I did standard Fire-Prevention procedures: Vent the entirety of the ship but the rooms with crew in them. It was all going well. Until the enemy shot my oxygen system. RIP crew of the FS Doomed.

Probably should have picked a less foreboding name.

FTL: Faster Than Light, Advanced Edition. I've yet to complete a game with the expansion. I made it to the Flagship once, but then the hacking...

So for this to happen, not only do I need to qualify for every single speedrun achievement on each level, but I need to have enough cushion there to make up 14 minutes across 14 levels.

You could also do really, really well on a handful of missions and then not make the cutoff on a few others.

Unfortunately "really, really well" has thus far been "barely on pace," hence the dying and crying.

On the elevator rides up, my two starting characters were getting in arguments about a past conflict they were both involved with.   Then, halfway through the game, one of them MURDERED THE OTHER ONE.

This was a good thing in the sense that he was the token evil teammate...

I haven't been arsed to look up a wiki on the subject, but do you recall if Token Evil was higher level than Whatserface? I know he was when it happened to me, and I'm not sure if that story turns out the same every time or if relative level is a factor.

I was wandering in a forest when I suddenly encountered a vine beast. I took out my gun to shoot but apparently there wasn't enough inventory space to keep the knife I was originally holding. The game then asked if I wanted to drop my knife instead and I said yes, wanting to kill this vine beast as soon as possible.

I took a few shots at it but I wasn't doing any damage. At first I thought I was just missing my shots when suddenly in my combat log I spotted the message "The bullet passes through". At this point I run, trying to get as far away from the vine beast as possible. Then I realize that I forgot my knife. That knife meant everything to me, it's my lifeline. It allows me to butcher animals to eat and it's my strongest melee weapon.

I ran back in to find it but unfortunately I bumped into a few queen trifids. I did not survive that encounter.

He was either higher level or the same.  Don't remember.  She killed him.  There were little red lights around her so she may have gained a buff or something from doing it, either way it was certainly not as good as having a fourth team mate.

[pisskop]

I simply don't have the heart to breeze through Zone three, let alone kill Death Metal.

NecroDancer, as Cadence

Teh back and forth step.  most critter will come to you.  And goblins are easy peasy.  You can literally corner them.

the lute is weak, but hits just about everything.  A catseye with upgraded range, so as long as you stay out of attacked squares you good.

Someone should write a TAS program for speedrunning DF: Conquering the Circus being the goal. This would require a large number of scripts that can call eachother, and an ability to accept failure. Which I assume will be hard for a machine.

Speedrun as in minimum amount of real time? Or as minimum amount of in-game time? Because I've seen some designs that could easily conquer the circus in the first two seasons if you invested your starting points right and had a bit of luck.

Some kinda giant demon-hog decided he didn't like the way I was sedately wandering around harvesting grass, so he headbutted me into oblivion.

Don't Starve

[Culise]

That...thing dropped down literally right in front of me while I was heading back through the ward; didn't even technically kill me because I panicked and killed the program.  I ordinarily attempt to avoid cursing, but I literally figuratively cursed a blue streak with my heart still racing. 

Gods, I don't even know how I'm going to keep playing this game if I keep panicking like his.

Alien: Isolation

[Cthulufaic]

Damnit... it feels like a non-standard game over.  It was so sad, but I probably deserved it for ignoring that social link.  THIS SUPER PEACEFUL MUSIC CAN'T STOP MY TEARS GAME.

Persona 4 Golden. ;_;

At least I got the good end though.

[Niccolo]

I accidentally wandered into an evil zone... Apparently I was playing as a Japanese schoolgirl, since I was immediately surrounded by half a dozen giant spiky tentacles.


Don't Starve

[heydude6]

I finally got XCOM for the first time and it's kicking my ass.

There was this one moment when my rookie was being attacked by 2 floaters. Both shots missed thankfully but what ended up happening instead was honestly alot worse. So the shots missed and they end up hitting the wall behind my squad.  Behind that wall was a dormant pod of thinmen who have now been alerted. To make matters worse they had a flanking position on my squad.

And it's not even over yet. A third floater then one-shots my other rookie and the entire squad panics.

My entire squad got eviscerated the next turn.

Deerclops paid us a visit. After that hounds showed up.
