Ranking arachnophobia modes as someone who's been terrified of spiders for nearly 30 years

A test of Grounded's arachnophobia mode with spider blobs.

I have been alive for *shudder* almost three decades now, and for pretty much all of that time I've been scared stiff by spiders. Please, keep your armchair therapising to yourself. Yes, I know the majority of spiders can't hurt me. They're just bros, chilling, with their way-too-many legs and eyes and… urgh. Anyway, I'm not a fan.

I am a fan, however, of videogames. And you know what videogames love to do? They love to shove freakin' spiders into everything! Thankfully, most developers are kind enough to implement some sort of arachnophobia mode in order to shield my eyes and feeble, fearful brain from such atrocities.
