based on Wabisuke's Auto Difficulty Adjustment, but with the added effect that the difficulty also goes up, not just down. originally made for my k-pack but i'm happy enough to make it public

if you beat a level, difficulty goes up if you wipe, difficulty goes down

very resident evil 4 like... very god hand... very... idk those are the only games that come to mind with dynamic difficulty

this also includes a command to turn it off, type !adaptivedifficulty and it's off until you turn it on again (it's stored as an ems file)

consider it a gateway drug to expert

works on realism and mutations
