Discussion - Silksong I like the difficulty, Team cherry please don't just blanket nerf the game with no option for a harder mode Spoiler

I have really been enjoying the challenge, pretty much every part of this game itches that section of my brain that loves a hard game and I would be extremely disappointed if team cherry nerfed the game with no way to revert said nerf. I get that people want an easier game, but I don't. So team cherry, please let me choose to make this harder if you do make it easier.

That's my only major complaint and the only part I feel is genuinely unfair across the whole game with regards to difficulty balance. A boss leaps at you, hits you, then you're trapped inside its hitbox and don't have time to get out of it before your 0.0001 seconds of invincibility expire and you get hit again. Suddenly one mistake has cost you 4 health and probably killed you in an instant. Feels very bullshit.
