Not that I'm complaining, but six Eyeless Skulls in one day is ridiculous.

Never Forget: Any appearances of the RNG favoring you are nothing more than it's attempt to raise your spirits so that when it crushes your heart in it's steely grip next you hurt even more.
Never forget, the RNG is evil.
Never forget.

If it never returned ridiculous results, it wouldn't be very random, would it?

In the eyes of the RNG all is fair and all shall be fair. Though the RNG giveth and the RNG taketh away, it giveth and taketh in equal measure on the grand scale of time. Probably.

That's where you're massively mistaken - rng is Random Evil. Mostly because a neutral "zero" outcome is considered as a bad one by the folk - as it means no thing good has happenned. Hence the whole distibution gets shifted into evil.

I tried failing a 40% check, and I instead passed it 7 times in a row...

I've been failing like three or four low-risk checks in a row every once in a while now. I've also failed a straightforward check before but succeeded in very chancy and high-risk challenges.

The RNG is just waiting,and watching. Soon you will fail ten 90% chance or higher in a row. I'm looking at you unfinished business in spite.

I have gotten four eyeless skulls in a row... which is good from an epa standpoint, but terrible from a "I want tears of the bazaar, not another 66 echoes in items!" standpoint.
Any appearances of the RNG favoring you are not because it's trying to raise your spirits, but because it picked up the plans for someone else. For instance- you may not be complaining, but my reaction to six eyeless skulls would begin with the words "really? really?" and would probably use up my three-swears budget and involve incoherent growling to boot. For me, eyeless skulls are like when a minnow eats your worm. i'd rather have the bait.
When it gives you coruscating souls in a row, it's because there's some poor fool who wants to see the failure text of the last option who's scheduled for always failing before that point, or succeeding past it, and then it got the schedules swapped. one person's good luck is another person's misfortune.
