a reason i 100%ed this game 6 years ago or whatever and will prob never touch dust forstrce is few few SMB levels take more than 20-25 seconds to complete. the dust forecec levels look way too grindy for me and the fact that content is locked up behind perfectly minute+ long marathons is too dire a situation for my soul.

sort of the opposite for me. SMB levels are so brief and the controls so slippery that you just sort of throw attempts at a level until you eventually pass, which isn't too satisfying

this run is sick tho

I had a beer once with Stephen Miller and now I like him.

I also tried to ban someone from a Discord for pointing out what an unrelenting shithead I am! I'm even dumb enough to think it worked!
I love the "stand here" boss. I think it was last year or maybe AGDQ this year where the boss cycle got really weird and he just wouldn't do the face plant.

something I learned from SGDQ today: thereis something incredibly soothing and comforting about PC platformers being played with a keyboard. the clickity clack to each jump is pretty cool to listen to.

my wrist hurts too bad so I just stick with FPS games which are a lot easier on your wrist (if you are playing them right)

ive always had bad wrists and a hosed up left knee, but in the last few years its gotten pretty painful to use a controller

the steam controller actually makes it possible to play, its a lot less painful than other controllers

Technically it's just on hiatus but that was to work on Meat Boy Forever which we have heard gently caress all about for like two years now. Edmund did say development was resuming on MBF since Rebirth and Fingered were more or less finished, but now he's got another expansion for Isaac in the works and another side project with whatever Legend of Bumbo is. Since there isn't even a real Team Meat site anymore, who the gently caress knows what is going on with them.

The cool thing about Super Meat Boy is that all of the rotating saws and such are on level-wide cycles tied to level time in such a way that, most of the time, if you're doing the intended route as fast as possible, they'll all line up for you.
