I posted my first win of Enter the Gungeon on the relevant subreddit and it people were convinced I was cheating/lying because I had low max hp (meaning I didn't flawless victory the minibosses) and I was given a warning and the posted was deleted by the mods.

Extra one: I used to have to walk past a clinical trial facility that would commonly have people stay for 2 weeks or so to be monitored while they were part of the trial. You weren't allowed to smoke but people would always be out in their little yard asking for cigarettes. As I was turning the corner one day there were three guys watching for someone to bum one off of and one say me and said, "Aww fuck he looks healthy as HELL!" Not really an insult but was said in legitimate anger and I am still riding that compliment.

Respect for the Enter the Gungeon run, it doesn't sound crazy to me since I never became consistent with not getting hit on level 1 bosses. Also getting a medical tent in a run, buying some hearts and getting drops is enough to maintain the health often.

It really wasn't that hard. I had the upgraded Ser Junken that can revive you and the turtle pet I believe? I was using the chicken gun and was able to just blast through the dragon.
