I just feel dumb at this point/can we change space smashing at a hook?
It's a minor rant.
I have 3.000 hours. Two days in a row I had 3 games where I just died because I didn't press space during struggle stage. Maybe it's because I've been playing for too long during these days and it was during nighttime but I feel so dumb that I couldn't press a button. Juking? Okay. Fixing? No problem. Pressing space? NO. I couldn't do the bare minimum. PRESSING THE BUTTON WAS HARDER THAT LOOPING, WHAT THE HECK? And I died to the same killer who tunneled me the previous game, it literally killed me in the reality as well and I had to stop playing.
I don't know why, each time I look at the "press space" my brain feels frozen. In a way videogames freeze. I don't know what is it, it's either me being too tired or my brain just refusing to continuously press the same button after 3.000 hours.
In all fairness, I think it's both, I feel that my brain is tired of pressing space. It doesn't feel entertaining, fun or pressuring, it feels unnecessary, loud and monotonous. It's been 3 years of complaining that smashing a button isn't fun in any sort of way but all the complaints were ignored. It isn't a priority to make a whole mechanic we ALL face more entertaining. We have cages, pressing skillchecks with the risk of loosing sacrifice time feels freaking better than PRESSING SPACE OVER, OVER, OVER, OVER AND OVER AGAIN.
And before you ask, yeah, I played for an unhealthy amount of time for two days for this to happen AND I played during unhealthy time (night)... BUT it still doesn't change the fact that space smashing is wack!

While I agree that the struggle mechanic as a whole is pretty dumb and antiquated and should probably go, the fact that you have 3,000 hours and haven't mapped your struggle to mouse wheel down is far more concerning.

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAIT, OH MY GOD.
Now my brain will be relieved with the fact that there will be no more space smashing! YES. All hail the infinite mouse wheel spinning! Oh, but hold up, you can choose the mouse wheel JUST for struggling?

It is an incredibly stupid and irksome mechanic, especially considering consoles still get the occasional framerate hiccup.
Know what happens when you get a framerate hiccup during the struggle phase?
Thanks BHVR! I know you say you don't change it because of "immersion" but what gets me knocked the ######### out of immersion is getting killed because your game took a dump for a second or two and it got me killed.

I'm looking at a bad boy piece of information.
I did it. I feel 🌠relief🎆.
(But the mechanic is still boring.)

The mechanic is absolutely terrible and frankly should just be replaced with PH cage skillchecks (so no auto-suicide, but good skillchecks keep you alive longer) and frankly I don't care if they have to change PH's cages after that, just make struggling less bad.

Don't forget gradually wearing down your controller.
