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 mean I guess.

But I always liked the idea of reclaiming stuff from the assholes.
So if people think this template is nice to make memes with, I always enjoyed taking it away from Crowder without giving him the power to stop anyone from using it.
In my eyes he doesn’t own this meme, but I can see your point.

Steven Crowder is a well known asshole with an internet presence that he uses to sow misogyny and other forms of hate.

I don’t want to see his face in memes.

That asshole shouldn’t have a meme, cmm.

Just use Calvin.

Little Bobby Tables is my favorite XKCD strip of all time, and I don’t even actively work with databases.

If meta joined, the users that make most fediverse content now will see their engagement drop.

That’s where you lose me again.
Why would the engagement drop if a ton more users could consume your content.

It’s not like the ratio of content creators to lurkers is any better on meta apps than here.

Btw thank you for the good faith discussion, I don’t think that would have happened at the old place.

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 understand all those points.

I just don’t quite see how that would kill the fediverse.
After all wouldn’t we be exactly where we are now if meta disconnected again?

It’s not like you and I would suddenly start using threads if it started federating.

I am pretty sure Epic gave away TW:Warhammer at some point, so maybe check if you already have it.

Disco Elysium is a good one but I know I don’t have the time right now.

Maybe I get me another Metroidvania.
I have Blasphemous (which I think was already on sale), Bloodstained RotN or Sundered EE on my wishlist, but again I would probably just make the pile of shame grow.

Having never played either, is the remake ending different from the original ending?

Well it’s German, we can always split up our long words into a long string of shorter words.

If I want to compare something to another specific thing I would probably never use “vergleichsweise” (which is more or less just “rather” like you described “relatively”).
I would probably use “im Vergleich zu” (in comparison to).

But maybe that’s just me.
And writing in English about German stuff makes my brain feel weird so maybe I don’t make much sense rn.

I don’t even disagree.

I just also can’t deny I had a lot of fun with it, too.

On the one hand I totally agree, on the other hand I spent like 40€ on PoE for everything I wanted and got way more gameplay out of it than of many full price games.

That would be the end of the free press.

But yeah a wet dream for politicians.
