In fact, this was hardly a spontaneous, lazy afternoon affair, with MissMikkaa racking up a complete of 553 makes an attempt, which totals someplace within the area of 15 hours of playtime, all spent simply battling this one single boss character. Like so many of those unbelievable self-set streamer challenges, it has taken dedication, persistence, observe, and knees that gained’t fall off at a second’s discover, (like mine), to ensure that MissMikkaa to step as much as the plate. Actually. Whenever you add into the combination that they had been additionally internet hosting a stream and talking to the viewers whereas the battle raged on — That’s some multitasking.
