Stuff you’re randomly good at in games.

My efforts to sleep have left my mind rambling instead, and my thoughts have brought me to this: “Why do I like sniper characters?” I’m a shit sniper; I’ll be honest about that. Having said that, there’s moments where I’ve somehow managed to get three headshots in a row or landed a critical blow against the enemy in ways that I should not have achieved with my level of skill. It’s happened multiple times. With that, I’ve gotten the idea for this thread here. If sniping is something I’m randomly good at, then what’s something you folks are randomly good at? The primary focus will hopefully be stuff outside your normal playstyle, but If you’ve got interesting stories outside of that criteria I’m certain they can still find a home here.

  • As I was looking through my games, I found that usually it’s the opposite for me. I’ll have things I’m reliably good at, but I’ll completely & utterly fail every now & then. I do have a proper answer, though. Enter the Gungeon! Now, I don’t mean to brag (okay, yes I do), but I’d say I’m pretty good at this game. Not pro-level or anything, but I haven’t had it that long, and already have shortcuts 1-4 (out of 5), beat two super secret bosses, beat the Dragun twice, unlocked The Robot, amd crafted the Bullet that Can Kill the Past. But despite all that, I find my skills vary wildy both ways. Now, some of that is just due to the game’s Roguelike nature, but not completely. So, I can reliably get to the boss on Floor 3, though whether or not I beat it is up in the air. Sometimes, when I have the best guns, a great set of items, and 6-7 hearts, I’ll get hit by absolutely everything, and die anyway. Despite this, I can have awful items, only 1.5 hearts, and only my starter gun, yet somehow manage to beat the boss flawlessly with no damage. The weirdest part is this can happen mid run. I’ve had times where I get completely destroyed on Floors 1 & 2, but completely turn around on Floor 3 and make it all the way to the end.
