@codl ohayou, codl!
digging through my old photos
@codl awww, they're pretty cute!!
you're definitely better than me at traditional drawing
digging through my old photos
@codl i loved sunkern in super mystery dungeon!
I wanna offer a game for GDQx but
@karma oh, don't worry! runs are almost always really fun to watch, even if they have quirks in them and not everything goes perfectly
besides, if you think you'll regret passing up the opportunity if you don't try, you should totally do it!
being early on your trans path might be a little tricky though, since that could mean some dysphoria--but know that no matter how early on you are, you are valid!
you don't need to put your life on hold--live as you like!
Celeste
@noiob i loved that place, it's was just so...atmospheric
@red@icosahedron.website @codl that's quite the fan-fare you've got there
@codl oh yeah! i'm a big fan
@noiob me too actually
i just didn't find meat boy's aesthetic to be very compelling, so that's probably why
i definitely want to get through celeste though!
probably because it feels nicer i guess? and also i hear it has a really nice story, and i totally dig that
@noiob i remember this one!
i can't remember how many attempts it took me, but i definitely was stuck there for a while
@noiob haha nope!
i found it considerably harder than the main game in places
The Trans Experience (tm), Dragons
@somekindofcrow welp
i have two examples of this being true, and zero of it not
@noiob good luck! it gets pretty brutal
i won't spoil anything, but i made it a few stages after a shift in the aesthetics of the game--and oh gosh, some stages are just *mean*
@noiob oh yeah! and because of that, i actually played more of it there than i did on pico-8 proper
and since a lot of the mechanics are so different between the two, i also discovered that if i play one, it takes a little bit of time for me to not be Very Bad at the other again
@noiob i was completely blindsided by that!
i mean, i giggled when i first saw the icon on the computer since i like making things in pico-8, and definitely perused celeste--so i thought it was just a little easter egg only some people would get
but that turned very quickly into an "OH GOSH YOU CAN ACTUALLY PLAY THIS! WHAT??"
i mean, i'm not complaining--surprise weekends are sweet!
it just...doesn't make any sense. especially since any idle thought about the day would reveal my assumption as Not Quite Right
@raccoon this tbh
oh hi! i do computers, and sometimes draw stuff~ i like lo-fi things and cute aesthetics!
i also probably like you
