[Even though the video first opens up with what is obviously a young woman, probably in her late teens or early twenties, the voice that comes through is obviously a man of distinguished speaking skill. Well, at least it doesn't seem to be coming from the young woman, as her mouth isn't moving]

"-the screen flickers, obviously doing something. You think it might be broadcasting."

[The young woman sighs, and when she speaks, yeah, it's obviously not the male voice that spoke moments earlier]

Broadcasting to who? I'm probably just going to get some NPC...

... jeez, what the hell is this, anyway? My status screen is different now... did I grind all those skills for nothing? At least I figured out how to sneak past all those winged freaks after the first few game-overs...

Maybe if I'm lucky, some tutorial character is going to pop up... yeah, right.

I pretty much grind my skills to the set max at the start of each new game.

Progress is pretty easy to get back when you remember everything you have to do.

... That kind of grind would have taken thousands of hours where I'm from. Most demons just don't bother getting to max level...

[save_load]

It's skill based rather than level where I come from. I just need to keep using an ability to raise it.

[dependently_independent]

That still sounds like a very large amount of grinding...

[save_load]

It's not that bad. It's easy to reach the cap in the first game, and it only raises by a hundred each game.

I should get started for this one, I guess.

"You delicately insert your lockpick into your left nostril."

[Yes, Doomkitty just did that... and there's an audible click]

"Success! You now have an open nose."

... oh wait, I can't even see my stats anymore.

[dependently_independent]

... What.

[save_load]

It's the fastest way to raise that one.

[dependently_independent]

... Doesn't that have a nontrivial chance of killing you by sticking an object into your brain?

[save_load]

That's what loading is for.

[dependently_independent]

... I'm not sure I'll ever understand your world...

[save_load]

Spend a few decades in there and you will.

[dependently_independent]

I'm perfectly comfortable with the oddities of my own world, thank you.

[save_load]

Not like I have any idea to send you there, anyway.

[dependently_independent]

Let's call that a good thing and leave it at that.
