I love Lycoris so much, I'm now the president of her protection club
As for the discussion on times I've felt a fear of failure from a game~ I have a pretty wacky one when I played Runescape way back. I was doing the quest The Underground Passage (or w/e it was called) and completely ran out of supplies and found that I was probably too underlevelled to actually finish it properly.
At the time, I didn't have the benefit of all the fancy perks you get these days to make life easier. It was 2005, so it was just me and the passage. I basically lived in that underground passage for a week like some lost traveler in the jungle because I didn't want to die after all that progress (considering I would DEFINITELY lose all my expensive-at-the-time equipment due to the long trek back), and completed the quest underlevelled and without any more potions or buffs by pure tenacity of survival - so a lot of hit and run tactics, standing around to heal naturally, etc etc.
I guess in a way, fear of failure in video gaming gets me into extreme survival mode.
