Blow some cannabis smoke in my face and point me in the direction of a comfortable chair. Now it’s a chill hangout session, not a boss fight. But you still win.

Completion reward: let’s share some pretzels

Ask me about something I'm above average knowledged about that I'm also interested in, and then you can disarm the bomb, save the pricess, destroy my entire species before I'm done oversharing the introductory part or even its preface.

Bring as many npcs in the room as possible; then wait for the social anxiety to make me lock up

Ask nicely if they can scooch past. Id be mortified that I was in the way at all.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 5 months ago

They'd probably handle me the same way as the fish boss in Earthworm Jim. Just one smack to the face and I'm done. That's all it takes.

A look of disappointment and a sigh.

idk probably like detaching my brain stem with a hammer or something

Steady, unrelenting emotional abuse.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago

Oof, hope you're better now.

By making me chase after them for more than 30 seconds. Just go ahead, I'll catch up later.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 5 months ago

Wait out my timer or go around me.

Attack at dawn.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I was driven mad by the unrelenting noises of society. The clamor, the insanity of humanity. The protagonistic figure decides a more peaceful option is adequate for my type of villainy and offers me quiet respite. A lovely cottage suitable for my hermit-like needs.

With this, I am at peace. I have a home. I have quiet. No quarrels with the world anymore

What loot do you have to make it worthwhile for the protagonist?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago

Hmmmmm, I might have a shiny rock or two. But I think the general public would be the providers of most appreciation awards due to not having me around anymore

Subtly undermine my self-confidence.

Are you professor Nakayama?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 5 months ago

Any way he choose. How would pick my as boss? That's a very bad move.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Show me the error in my ways so I can learn from it, or transform me from bad to good.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I dunno, but you can skip the boss fight if you bring me some nice food

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago

Cheese.

Either the edible kind or the repetitive-bullshit-but-it-works kind.

Takes away my coffee

Exploiting my hubris.

I actually wrote out an outline for this back when I was making small videogames as a hobby. I never actually made the game, which was probably overly ambitious, which is fitting because it was a game about ambition and hubris with me as the villains (multiverse shenanigans) and a pair of scrappy teenage sleuths as the protagonists.

Distract me with food and drink.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago

In my case, a sack of White Castles.

Probably shooting the chips from cutting a log with a chainsaw at my face. That’s gotten be at some point painful and extremely annoying.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago

Tell me they're going to meet me at like 5pm, and never show.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago

I'm gonna say donuts

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago

Laugh at me and say I’m stupid.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I'm not an incompetent fighter or anything. I assume it wouldn't be a chance encounter, though, and I'd probably be prepared. In that case, well, they'd definitely have their work cut out for them. Prepare to dodge bullets, and engage in hand-to-hand combat with someone who can take a good beating before giving up.

I'm exhausted easily in my current state, however. Anything more than a short close quarters fight will likely do me in. That is, importantly, assuming I don't use πŸ’«drugsπŸ’«.

When you hit phase 2 of the fight and the boss pulls out a crack pipe

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago

Intended method: three phase fight where the PC must break a magic shield before I get off a spell (DPS check). Breaking the shield releases a shockwave which either needs to be dodged or cancelled by an optional item (magic earmuffs). Failure to break the shield fails the fight, sends them to the room before (fuck you watch the whole cutscenes again)

Pacifist method: compliment me a couple of times and I won't know what to do with myself. I teleport away, leaving the key

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago

Just start yelling at me and I'll probably shut down and cry.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago

Showing me a picture of your mother lmao gottem
