I find it easiest to remember sounds, equations, and diagrams
words are the hardest, if not accompanied by something else fortunately, words are usually accompanied by sounds and meaning, via pronunciation and association
More people have said that and been killed than there are thorium decay products.
Stage 1: You've done this so many times that you make it look easy and you can do it in your sleep. You'll still get hit 1/5 of the time, but it doesn't matter because it's only the first stage and you only lose a minute.
Nazrin: You've done this so many times that you only get clip-deathed 1/5 of the time now. Even then, you only lose 3 - 4 minutes if you have to reset.
Stage 2: Gather bombs faster than you are using them. This means knowing every inch of the stage, inside and out.
Kogasa: Cheap clip-deaths ahoy, just in case you have a few extra lives by the time you reach The Wall. That is assuming you understand how her patterns work. If you don't, this is the end.
Stage 3: Spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam. I hope you get lucky with those bullet cancels and darting through lines of enemies. If you get clipped more than twice, reset.
Ichirin: You know exactly what to do, and yet you still fail her patterns regularly. If you haven't mastered the "death-bomb" feature, this is the end.
Stage 4: More spam, but if you got this far, you can stay calm and move smoothly. If you haven't memorized every precise movement on the mid-boss, YOU HAVE JUST LOST TWO LIVES AT THE SAME TIME. RESET.
Minamitsu: There is only one pattern that you will not either bomb or be clipped by. The trick is knowing not *if* to bomb, but *when.* Fail, and this is the end. This girl will suck your bomb stock dry, just in time for the nastiest stage in the game.
Stage 5: If you haven't memorized the exact timing on EVERYTHING, you're dead.
Shou: also known as "The Wall." If you don't have four lives, you're dead. If you have no bombs, you're dead. If you get clipped because you haven't learned to read those curvy lasers, you're dead. Expect 1 out of 200 runs to pass The Wall, if you're lucky.
Stage 6: You can try to replenish your supplies, but you will fail.
Byakuren: You are now at minimum power and almost dead. If you are worthy of even seeing her final attack, you are god-like. When you get your inevitable game over, try again. It was only 30 minutes.
You are the end result of a “would you push the button” prompt where the prompt was “you have unlimited godlike powers but you appear to all and sundry to be an impetuous child” – Zero, 2022
Mom and I bought a four-drawer filing cabinet at the Habitat for Humanity store
Getting it home in the back of a family sedan was quite an ordeal
it was actually a pretty neat essay, he talked about how reading is a two person process, with the reader interpreting the text through their own experiences and stuff.
I actually have it on hand here, i found it in this critical theory primary source supplement thing i picked up at a garage sale, it has a bunch of cool essays by cool people and it helped make me the favorite student of at least three high school english teachers

I'm more proud of this than I should be.
