I keep trying to come up with a response to this but I can't even parse it. Are you saying people always have to say they dislike the creators of fictional characters rather than the character themself? Why??

remember how you can get the suit of armor costume for ashley


just watch her clankin' around for the whole game
Didn't that make her effectively invincible because she was too heavy for NPCs to grab?

no, she could still be attacked (And hurt), and iirc she could still be grabbed and carried but npcs would be hella loving slow when carrying her

the arguably bigger thing was that the armor made her bulletproof so friendly fire becomes a virtually nonexistent worry

her being bulletproof actually got annoying because she would stop ducking to let you shoot over her and would just lower her visor

Nah, she couldn't be hurt at all. I remember playing through on the higher difficulty and using her invincibility to cheese El Gigante fights since ammo was scarce. They could still carry her away, though.

But it's all a consequence of her actions? Like, if she is to blame because she's stupid, and her stupidity detracts from the game, then it's kosher to hate on her. :psyduck:

and don't most of these people have to entertain on camera anyways? like, to make a living? i'm assuming most of the runners here are making a living with their streaming

All of the runners practice the game but forget to practice talking and their commentary. Speaking well is a skil you need to practice too!

Like I said earlier, not to start a dick measuring competition but 9 years at SDA isn't the biggest deal. There are plenty of us that were there for a lot longer that have since 'retired' from speedrunning.

The fact that Carci has been actively speedrunning for that entire time and is able to make a living off of it is WAY more important/interesting than when he registered on a forum.

i'm not gonna talk about it anymore but there's a big difference between saying 'this person is an rear end in a top hat' or 'this person is really annoying' and going 'i hate this person because they get stuck in traps' in a resident evil game of all things. it's b-grade horror movie poo poo.

Yeah and I hate basically every other character in the series too because its all written poorly. Didn't realize I had to mention that in my post to keep you from going off on an absurd tangent.
