A mystery gamer announced this week on Reddit that they had "finally" completed level 35 mastery with all playable characters in Mortal Kombat 1, mere weeks after the game's release. Their celebratory post was met with impressed congratulations and concern for their social life.
"I just love MK, but I can't let them slide with how freaking grindy this is," they explained in the post, along with screenshots of gold-skinned characters signaling max mastery.
Fellow Redditors quickly did the math, asking "How long has it been since you've seen the sun?"
The original poster later clarified that "When I'm not working, I don't go near the game during the day; I'm out like at the park. At night, I play." This did little to convince commenters of their outdoor exposure.
"These are the people that no life a game for days straight and then complain that there's no content," analyzed one user.
Other users expressed awe at the gaming marathon. "Insane dedication," applauded one commenter.
"Now go touch some grass, lad," suggested another user.
The original poster graciously accepted the feedback, responding, "I definitely am" to go touch grass, exhibiting courtesy despite sassy comments.
Some offered wisdom for power-leveling characters. "Put all points to attack, then spam uppercuts and do a uppercut brutality," advised one commenter.
Another user ominously warned "They're definitely gonna increase the mastery level over time," threatening further grinding requirements.
So, while residents commend the dedication, they also hope the original poster gets some sun and enjoys life beyond Flawless Victory screens. We'll wait and see if achieving this gaming goal leaves them fulfilled or searching for their next hit of dopamine.
