  • Not that my opinion matters any more than the next person’s, but I also can’t recommend Celeste enough.

    It does so many things so very right.
    The pure gameplay is crisp and responsive platforming.
    Like any good platfmorer it has some specific mechanics that make it unique, but every one is intuitive enough to pick up easily enough. I have heard it called something like “the hardest platformer that everyone can finish.”

    And it is true. I could never finish some of the harder SMB levels but I never got too frustrated with Celeste.
    And if I were, there would have been accessibility options to make the game more approachable.

    But it also caters to the hardcore crowd with completely optional collectibles that are organically included into the gorgeous level design.

    It is speedrunnable for those folks.

    And as if that wasn’t enough to make a good platformer it also tells a heartwarming story supported by a beautiful soundtrack.

    Sorry I am rambling, but Celeste is fucking awesome.









  • I know that you have put more thought into this topic than I did and you just might be right.

    But dude that wallmart analogy misses the point by a mile.
    Wallmart kills the small stores by simply undercutting them, this has nothing to do with what meta might do.

    And you didn’t really argue my point that people like you and I could and probably would consume meta content if it was federated.
    But why would anyone that is part of the fediverse right now jump ship if meta came and went away again?

    I damn sure will never create another meta account or use any meta app. Would you?







  • I don’t know if I would call it really good, but if I were to ever write a novel the setting would be dark fantasy like somewhere between the middle ages and the modern times where most men of the protagonists society are about to come back from a long war, but they also bring back a mysterious illness.

    The protagonists were just too young to have gone to said war, but maybe an older brother did go, maybe he fell idk.
    At some point the father comes home, but what was supposed to be a happy occasion turns darker because he is changed by war.

    There has to be some form of secret society that has something to do with the illness or the lack of a cure for the common people.
    And the young protagonists will have to deal with that situation due to circumstances and not because they were chosen or secret princes or something like that.

    And I am a sucker for happy endings so while the novel would be rather dark as a whole, the ending would see a dramatic change to society with at least the potential to get better.
    I think times of change make for good fiction.

    I will never write that novel though, but just maybe I might get to use the setting for a TTRPG campaign some day.
