I learnt that “louse” is the singular of “lice”, like of course it is but I never stopped and considered it

That's where the word "lousy" comes from

I remember seeing a bunch of episode endings to this while waiting for The Venture Bros. on Adult Swim. It seemed neat

“Louse” has a “s” sound while “lousy” uses a “z”. Meanwhile “mousy” uses a “s”. The whole thing’s stupid

Mousy means "like a mouse", while lousy means "infested with lice." Of course you'd pronounce them differently, otherwise it would be confusing

it's badass, it's animated by staff who worked on batman: the animated series and the second season veers it off from an episodic post-apocalyptic noir giant robot anime into a trippy existential conspiracy nightmare

it also has a badass opening theme

For some reason I didn't like Big O at all as a kid, and I don't know what the gently caress I was thinking then because I watched through all of it a few years ago and thought it was fantastic.

i found that jump easier to do if instead of using the bubble, you hop into the air, dash diagonally down and to the right and hop right as you land, it launches you forward a ton and lets you dash again after. you'll need a similar trick for 8c anyway, except the one they teach you there doesn't give you the extra dash, so it'll give you some practice on top of being really useful for the earlier c-sides

I've done that move by accident several times while playing Celeste, it didn't even occur to me to try that. I wish I had thought of it instead of trying to rely on this stupid bubble.

Anyway I did it and now I can die

I would not put myself through this kind of hell if the game was trash is the thing. The game is absolutely fantastic so it keeps me coming back and trying to do poo poo like this that has, in my opinion, huge flaws or design issues, because overall the game is so good.

Big O is very cool and good. Personally I prefer season 1 over 2, but both are good please watch them so that I may continue to dream of a third season. Please enjoy Steve Blum as Steve Blum.

Steve Blum's voice always felt very off coming from Roger to me, like it just isn't baritone enough for how big of a guy Roger is supposed to be. I think that's largely why I prefer the Japanese dub.

the best episode of big o is the one where the villain tries to destroy big o by creating a perfect replica of roger's upper body that just shouts "BIG O! BIG O!" constantly and putting it on a tiny set of wheels and driving it off a cliff

they're probably some of the best-feeling controls in a 2d platformer i've played in a few years, but it still goes a little overboard sometimes. i think 7c and 8c are fine thoguh

Really only the mechanics in the 'optional' challenges it seems, 'cos the gameplay of the plot levels was a delight thru and thru

I just started Celeste this weekend and I have been trying to avoid spoilers and such, but seeing up the page there is a thing called C-sides and I cannot even get past the second screen on the first b-side is making me go :aaaaa:

The game itself is an utter delight and the track that plays in the first level is burned into my mind and one of my favourite music tracks from a video game of all time! So glad it is on spotify.
