A running list of stupid bullshit that has ruined a seemingly perfect run of Spelunky 2:

- getting hit by one of the arrow machines because I was not paying enough attention
-successfully dodging the arrow machine, only to have it shoot directly into the shop and make the shopkeep go berserk mode, killing me with his shotgun
-Panicking and jumping when I see one of the yellow lizards, only to get pinned against a wall and have my whole health bar get owned
- the fucking moles
-having one of the hired hands decide to kill me for some unknown reason
-lava. I hate the fucking lava
-lava monsters. I hate the fucking lava monsters even more than the static lava
-stepping on a bear trap that was hidden behind a plant, which immediately wipes my 15 points of health in one fell swoop.
-getting crushed by the eye block in the pyramid
-thinking I successfully dodged the eye block in the pyramid, only to have it slide in a horizontal direction and crush me anyway
- an unseen chain reaction of explosions sending a ufo hurtling from the heavens to perfectly land on me mid-jump in the ice caves, sending me careening into the abyss
-everything in neo-babylon
-and a million other things I am definitely forgetting.

Despite this absolute bullshit, I love this game, and I cannot stop playing. I've completed the base run a few times, and am working on finding more secrets//getting to the deeper levels, and fully expect to be playing this game for a long time to come.
