    Customizing controls is normal and good. Don't ever feel bad about adjusting things so they work for you. Constantly fighting controls can make a 10/10 game something you don't even want to play.
    Also, your videos are always so much fun! I'm super excited for this series. 😁🍀

      It's honestly not quite as brutal as many folks say. It just requires the same sort of patience as games like Dark Souls (it's fairer than early DS, too). It got its reputation because the charming art-style attracted a lot of folks unfamiliar with that sort of game.

      You can teach yourself to think the same way she does, if you want. Whenever you START to feel yourself getting frustrated, find something to compliment in the source of your frustration.
      I personally taught myself positive thinking using multiplayer games. Any time another player got one over on me, I made sure to compliment them over the chat. Even just going "nice shot" every once in a while really improves the vibe of the game.

    Woah, that's fascinating! Literally every sidescroller, basically since the SNES days (so over 30 years) uses X for attacking, but Amber has been through so many soulslikes recently that it feels weird for her to not use the triggers. I've literally never seen this happen, it's great. I've had the exact opposite experience when starting Elden Ring.

Today I finished watching the 4th episode of Undertale and I want to joke that the author went to Cuphead to practice.) The author did a great job in Hollow Knight and Bloodborne and I think that you can do it here too. Good luck!

    I always view difficult games as like learning a dance... it can seem impossible at first, but the more you practice, the more noticeable progress you make. Until that point where you master the dance, and it almost feels like it's easy, and you could do it without making mistakes
    that's the beauty of games with difficult but well designed boss fights, if you keep your cool and just practice, you always get there in the end. So there should never be any shame about being "bad" at first, not saying that you are, but often I approach games with excitement about being bad, it means there's something to learn, which means there's satisfaction in the eventual payoff of beating it
    For me, Sekiro was the prime example of this. A near ideal "practice makes perfect" game

    Glad you're finally playing cuphead! You will love (and hate) this game.
