Lover of games and the stories they create and tell.

Restructured account as of 2024, I left 3 reviews behind from my original account.

I hope to actually begin using this website to document my gaming and exercise my writing, and here is how it will be structured:
- I will mark all games I have played in my life, but will not review/rate any of them until I have played them in the present.
- My rating system might get a little skewed, but I will be rating like a teacher: a 2.5 star is barely acceptable, 3-4 is decent to good, 4.5 is incredible with a few notes, while a 5 star there should be nothing that I would change to make the game a better experience.
- gaming.

Though incredibly fun courses, the quality drop still floors me. Going from the DLC courses back to the base game just hits you in the face like "woah the trees have texture the grass has texture the world looks cool" where the DLC courses just lack that. The new courses, especially Yoshi's Island and Squeaky Clean Sprint are fantastic, but the ported courses from older games and the tour tracks just disappoint.

Its still Mario Kart though.

This game is truly something special. This was my 3rd time playing through the game, but my first time completing all B-sides and the Farewell level. I plan to go back and complete the C-sides as well, but I am choosing life over golden strawberries!

What sparked this adventure back to Celeste Mountain was my partner getting me the special edition for Christmas. I immediately hopped back in, and played most of the game handheld with my Koss Portapros or on an old TV, to truly do my best to fit the vibes.

I connect with Madeline quite a bit in her journey to overcome anxiety. I have pretty brutal anxiety myself, and in the past few years despite working to overcome it, anxiety always crops back up. Beating the game for me was a challenge in patience and a reminder that I am able to do whatever I want if I put my mind to it.

Sitting by the fire and talking to Theo, reconciling with Part of You, learning to love Grannie and miss her dearly, all these pieces of the story weren't necessary to make a good platformer, but to me they are what makes this game a great platformer. Where there are games like Getting Over It and Jump King that push you to the edge of insanity, Celeste would rather encourage you than put you down.

Part of what made playing this game this time around such a special experience for me was my roommates showing up at random times to watch me play. Watching me bash my head against the wall in a tough screen for 20 minutes just to finally get it and cheer was a great time. It made me laugh when the expectation for me was that I'd get pissed and rage at the game, and though there were some audible "DAMN's," Celeste has this special something that kept me from ever really being frustrated.

Celeste has easily secured its place as my favorite 2D platformer of all time, and it would truly take something special to take its place.

"Alright guys, [cough] I'm doing 'Take On Me' now, alright. I, I really, I really like this song, it sounds good."

Minin' away
I don't know what to mine
I'll mine this anyway
In this Minecraft day
So beautiful, mine further down
What's that I found?
Mine diamonds (Take on me)
Mine diamonds (Take on me)
I'll mine them
So far I've got two!
So easy to mine
With my Minecraft pickaxe and shovels
Hopefully they stay
In my Minecraft chests
So I'm gonna make
A lock on it
Mine diamonds (Take on me)
Mine diamonds (Take on me)
I'll mine them
So far I've got two!
"Ah! [cough, cough, cough, cough, sniff, cough]
I'm alright, I'm ready"
All these diamonds
Sittin' carefully lay
I'm getting worried ("Shut the fucking door!")
If they might get stolen
From my ender chest
Wait, who is that?
Holy sheep, it's Notch!
Mine diamonds (Take on me)
Mine diamonds (Take on me)
Now they're safe
Woahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
Now...
Now that they're safe
Woahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
Mine diamonds, [heavy breathing] (Take on me)
Mine diamonds (Take on me)
"Uh, Thanks, thanks for listening guys and thanks for recommending this song"
