I also have an issue with dogs, I grew up in a neighbourhood that had a handful of aggressive dogs. Biggest thing for me was walking by tall fences in my neighbourhood and getting jumpsscared by dogs banging on them. Didn’t help that I got chased down/bit by my next door neighbor’s dog as a teen.
I enjoy being around dogs of friends and family, but if it is unknown and unleashed I am very guarded and will plan out a fight. I still flinch if a friendly dog barks unexpectedly but I work hard to keep it under control.
Life force (nes) gameplay. It’s a scrolling arcade space shooter.
I dabble in trying to speed run it. although I’m no good at the speed running, It is such a niche game with punishing moments I would easily win high score just by playing safe.
