More accurate difficulty level names

[Blastfrog]

1. Why is my grandson wasting my time with this strange contraption?

2. I suck.

3. Average, yet inexperienced.

4. I can handle myself.

5. I hate myself.

[Voros]

Sounds more like you're depressed. The current names are pretty accurate.

 

I'm Too Young To Die - the moment I read this, I imagine some coward. Pretty fitting

 

Hey, Not Too Rough - I imagine a guy who doesn't want it to be easy, but not hard either. A cautious kinda guy.

 

Hurt Me Plenty - OK this one is probably not that accurate.

 

Ultra-Violence - Imagining a tough guy asking for more.

 

Nightmare - We all hate nightmares because they scare us, weaken us. It's the one thing people tend to avoid. This name's accurate if you ask me.

That's just stupid community conventions that have been preventing proper use of skill levels in far too many mods.

[baja blast rd.]

1. The mapset doesn't implement difficulty settings so I'm going to play here so I can finish Sunder without having my neighbors alert the authorities.

2. What's this again? 

3. Maximum 'acceptable' amount of pride swallowing.

4. Normal. What's that about a text file that says UV is only for ubermensch Doomers? Listen to me sonny I've been playing this game for years. I can handle anything as long as it's fair, and not one of those stupid slaughterwads (which everything that is too hard for me happens to be, even that platforming map with 2 imps, stupid platform slaughter!).

5. Weirdo central. Also speedrunner central. No, wait, what's the difference!

I don't want to learn from the beginning. Probably that's why I am bad at this game... Can't beat Sunder with S/L. I hope one day I can.
