genuine question is it an all dads thing or just a my dad thing to put salt and pepper on literally all the food you eat no matter how inappropriate it is for the dish

like its such a classic gaming thing to do. your sequel protagonist is a girl so you make all the characters girls. its like the guy being like "a normal man" and then the caption says "butch woman" and their jaw drops

finally done with silksong forever. or for a while. all i dont aim to do is steelsoul because i dont hate myself that much. at least for now. my final takeaway is that i love that the game's entire theme is girlbosses and girl power.

Made this joke to my girlfriend. She was like “do you … have an attachment disorder?” And I was like umm maybe I dunno probably

God celeste rly tops any of the other games out there accessibility wise. So awesome

Wearing a hat that says “has attachment disorder, do NOT accept romantic advances” but I can’t read so I’m like what does the hat say I don’t get it

Which I do *not* mind a person choosing, but as a developer I think it would be hard to keep people interested when at *that* section in the game, the difficulty is the whole point

holly “shocked” pine @shockpine.bsky.social · 4d

Like I do think of any game Celeste is one of my faves when it comes to accessibility. Giving players access to straight up slowing the game down is kind of ideal, but I think in using that you lose some of the excitement.

holly “shocked” pine @shockpine.bsky.social · 4d

like i think with the lack of plot in those B/C-sides, the main thing keeping you interested is that emotional feedback of feeling rewarded for accomplishing something difficult! i think it would be difficult to keep people engaged for that long when they need assist active the whole time

holly “shocked” pine @shockpine.bsky.social · 4d

it does! but i've known ppl before who didn't see the point in doing all the levels where the entire point is that it's hard with assist mode on

holly “shocked” pine @shockpine.bsky.social · 4d

I dont think the entirety of the main plot was accessible to everyone even in that game with incredible options for that. For average players, the Farewell ending was locked behind doing all the B sides or whatever. That’s hard!

holly “shocked” pine @shockpine.bsky.social · 4d

So you want a tough as nails, rewarding platformer... that's completely accessible and everyone can have fun with it?

holly “shocked” pine @shockpine.bsky.social · 4d
