When there's this video game goal you're trying to achieve...
...and you overachieve.
Let me explain. There's this Bonus Boss you've been trying to kill, or beat this marathon level of awesome or whatever other challenging thing. You've managed to almost beat it many times over in a climactic finale that unfortunately ends in your game over. You could've done it if you only had a bit more HP, or one more life. But no matter, you're full of energy from that exciting attempt and you're sure that when you do beat it, it'll be in a glorious battle with a climax in which you, the player, use the last drop of your soul to beat.
And then you beat it with half your HP, many extra lives/special attacks/mons/whatever in a curbstomp battle which didn't even feel that challenging.
It's disappointing.

When that happens I actually feel like I won by my own skill/strategy than just that I happened to be slightly luckier the second time.
That's more or less what I meant.
Late Edit That Nobody Will Read But Whatever: Unless you meant a literal one-shot, in which case that's not what I meant.
I dunno, to me it feels like having beating it for the 10th time, while the moment I beat it the first time was erased from history.
Collect EVERY block you can see on Far rendering?
I almost emptied out a 3x3x64 area, all the way down to the Bedrock on my file.
DIG STRAIGHT DOWN?
DAMN STRAIGHT.
For....something. I only ever use it for obsidian.
because i am a TOOL

Nah, they last 1500+ uses, and a 1x1 area can go up to 64 blocks down, so you can easily empty out a chunk with one pickaxe...provided you have 64 ladders.
Or 31, I think.
Stupid ninja DYRE.
I LIKE TO WASTE LADDERS
