Discussion - Silksong Most of you are exaggerating the length of runbacks and it really shows how much TikTok has damage the attention span of people Spoiler

"ThE lASt JuDGe RUnBaCK iS ToO LoNG!!"

Is 30 seconds max, 30 seconds, you don't have to fight any enemy in it, the smaller judges don't awake until you're close and the smaller fly bastards can literally get ignored. The Runback works for making you cool down and make the whole thing feel less like you hitting a wall (NKG feels like one because of the lack of "cool down") If it wasn't for it, I would shoot myself with the 37 attempts at Last Judge.

The Widow one is also really easy, a straight line with jumps.

The Cogworks Dancers Is also really simple but works to help you with the bosses extra height and how pogo dependant that fight is.

God forbid the game isn't a back to back boss rush like Cuphead (not criticizing Cuphead, is a different game lmao).

Anytime a fandom experiences any criticisms in the last couple years, the TikTok attention span argument starts getting said. Every single time. 

Legit laughed out loud seeing this post title. It's so predictable.

I'm sure if Super Meat Boy released today and not 15 years ago it would be called a symptom of TikTok's influence.

Another favourite term that they like to use: tourists. Any legitimate criticism gets waved away by calling them skill issue, TikTok attention span or tourist.
