Sure thing, let’s dive into this mess of a thought train about gaming quirks.

So, there’s this thing, right, where some folks go completely bonkers with their gaming. Like, forget about trying to blaze through a game at lightning speed or dodging every enemy attack like a ninja—nah, some people dive totally the other way. This dude, a YouTuber who goes by ymfah (why is it always these names, I know, right?), decided to just embrace all the chaos. Just soaking in damage like a sponge, especially in this game, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. It’s one of those all-star games everyone’s buzzing about.
Anyway—oh, wait, back on track—ymfah took on this game, with its hardest difficulty settings, without dodging, parrying or doing any of those fancy escape moves you’d think are, well, necessary. I mean, just picture it; that’s like saying “No thanks” to every single survival tool the game throws at you. Wild, huh?
Here’s where things get a bit mind-boggling. This game has a way of rewarding you for parrying attacks. You know, giving you these points called AP. Use those points, smash out some killer moves. But no parries mean no points… so less smashing. And more, um, getting smashed. That’s a rough ride, not gonna lie.
Despite – or maybe because of – this madness, ymfah found ways to win. It’s all about the game’s Pictos and Lumina systems. Don’t ask me why, but it reminds me a bit of stacking cards back when I was a kid. Buffs here, boosts there, and before you know it, you’re a damage-dealing machine. It’s like… I don’t know, magic but with more math and chaos?
There were some cheeky exploits involved, sure. Like skipping this big boss, Évêque, early on. Good tactic, really. You farm up all the experience points, come back swinging later. If it works, why not, right?
End result? They not only finished the game but also took down those boss-level enemies that appear after that you only take on if you’ve got nerves of steel. Seriously impressive stuff.
Go on, give that video a watch. It’s got all the makings of a compelling, if slightly insane, tale. Plus, some decent tips for when you want to try this game yourself (whether you fancy the all hit marathon of chaos or prefer a calmer approach).
Whew, did I cover everything? Probably not. But let’s say I did.
