The 'Final Boss' in your life

[DubWolf 16,573]

Probably graduating out of a hard degree program, or lenders..

 

And probably whoever is evaluating my performance on any of my flying check rides .

[CT-1138 3,179]

Getting my Bachelors degree. I'm 3 credits away from my Associates, and I'm getting a Bachelors even if it kills me!

Ugh, my own laziness! Besides that, nothing can stand in my way!

Obviously for me it would be depression.

[Snow Frostflame 3,567]

probably trying to become popular on YouTube something I have been trying for since my Sophomore year

Where to begin?

 

Humankind, Society and Speciesism are most likely ones. These aren't things that I want to be adept at so much as do away with.

[Akari of Duskshire 581]

There's no telling what it will be for me. Even if I do take down a major obstacle, be it internal or external, another one will surely come up. As of now though, it'd have to be me. Think of the final boss of Okamiden.

You want to . . . kill all of humanity?

Why the final boss from that game and not the one from Okami proper? Granted I haven't played the game and don't know who the final boss is.

Assembly language. Regardless of what instruction set you're using, it's without a doubt the most difficult language to program in. Even with a crazy amount of commenting, I had significant difficulty reading what my code was doing. I hope to never see it again in my future career... but it's possible...

 

 

I know an old quote but: my winter project is going to involve MOS 65xx machine language (Hex editor attempt, if I fail at that, I will use ASM.) There are soooo many hour going in to just organizing EXACTLY what I am going to code. I imagine the coding will be somewhat quick. I am hoping that the trouble shooting will be done in stages, as proper troubleshooting after the fact can be nearly impossible with ML.

[One-Punch Man 316]

My final boss will be overcoming my social anxiety, or creating my own cartoon.

Either way, I am going to need a lot of coffee.

Because in Okamiden, part of the final boss is literally your dark mirror image. I figured that was a better representation than a living being of the sun going up against a machine of the cold darkness.

 

Also, the other part of the Okamiden final boss is your friend. We've never had any big fights, but my friend and I are different enough that there's still clashing.

[IndigoStarstorm 68]

My own weaknesses and fears that haunt me everyday. If I can overcome them, I'll be forever at peace.

[Mars Orbit 729]

Boredom.

There's never really anything going on in my life.

I see. That makes much more sense. It also provides a better final boss in sort of the same way Lex Luthor does for Superman. Lex is no Darkseid or Metallo or Braniac, beings who are closer to Superman in power and provide a more significant physical threat, but Luthor is Supes' personal nemesis. His antithesis, the one who's conflict is less physical and more ideological. The same for Joker against Batman.

 

To use an example from video games, Link and Ganondorf are the eternal rivals . . . literally. Even though Gannon is usually the ultimate physical threat, it's just as much what he represents as well as the man himself that Link is trying to stop. Think about Link as a character, even though he's pretty one note as far as protagonists are concerned and varies depending on incarnation but there are common elements that can be sussed out.

 

-Usually comes from a humble, rural existence.

 

and

 

-Is completely selfless almost to the point of martyrdom.

 

In contrast, Ganondorf was born as the king of the Gerudo so he is of high birth and status and is driven entirely by selfish desire. Even when he does team up with another villain, he ALWAYS betrays them in the end. Link, even if he recognizes the betrayed as evil, would never turn on his own allies. In addition, the two of them have history, which makes every time they clash a battle that has been continuously fought for eons.

I have two final bosses in my life. Insecurity and boredom. 

[TigerGeekGuy 4,659]

Like what a lot of other people stated, my final boss is my severe social anxiety. It's the main thing that's in my way of living a full life.

[Hocus Pocus 636]

Passing as female in looks, voice, and clothing

[Malinter 3,064]

My pony OC. He has alot of traits I wish I possessed so its only natural that at the end I face him.

[Carl Poppa 464]

The way things are looking, my dad's father will be my final boss. Perhaps in tandem with my sister.

[yayayayayala 1,668]

Achieving good shading for digital art is my before-the-final-boss boss. Not sure how many there'll be before the FINAL boss though, or what the final one would be

[Sonic Shimmer 4,116]

Loneliness. For a long time it was both my arch enemy and, ironically, my only companion.

 

It spent the last few years beating me to the ground but I'm back on my feet now and I think I'm actually going to win.

[Sectus 246]

I've faced several mini-bosses, but I like to imagine that my true 'final boss' would be a criminal I have to stop in order to save someone as a police officer when I get hired.

[Venomous 18,813]

Math. Just math in general.

I ow a lot of people say that they suck at math, but you probably know more than me. I barely know my times tables.

[Sunwalker 981]

My final boss is the future or, in a broader sense, I can say it is time itself. I tend to be insecure and anxious towards future, and dealing with not being sure about what lies ahead is one of my biggest challenges.

[SugarfootWillie 383]

My final boss is the creation of technology that will allow living organisms to phase through solid matter. I have been researching this for almost 5 years now and am barely any farther along than when I started.
