i didn't realize celeste is comin out on switch drat hell ya

it's probably gonna be way easier to control on PC tho hmm

Keyboard is how I rock, others prefer controller.

They've said they are interested in a level editor some time down the road and I imagine that will be pc only.

No.

Always just reach the credits as fast as possible regardless of how lame it is

Especially if you can just select the credits from the main menu

It's obviously not a solution for every game, but emulating the virtual console versions of n64 games through dolphin works great.

the emulation is coming FROM INSIDE THE HOUSE

I don't know how anyone could hear the stories over the years or see stuff like his board breaking this GDQ and not believe all of it. PJ should just be an Amish at this point, for the sake of all electronics.

His board was fine, one of the quick connects on the button in his arcade stick came loose, super common for fighting game players.

The air ones just make it slightly easier to regain your dash because "can i get my dash back when i touch the ground?" Is on a cooldown after you dash. They're fundamentally the same thing but for whatever reason the majority of people picking up the game are convinced they're different and want to use a extra name to refer to them.

At one point i was told that hl1 runs used a weird amalgam patch that had a both a glitch that was patched out and one that was introduced later which sounds way too crazy to be true

Naw it was definitely hl1 cause one of the things was the higher cap on speed you can get from a gaussboost

Isn't the portal to here in Fossil Falls? Any reason you couldn't use this to skip an insane portion of the game? Had anyone tried this?

you need 124 moons in order to progress to the moon

srcom is a really well made service that does a fantastic job of handling the load it puts itself under via some questionable webdev choices

That one specifically gets more speed than a normal hyper because of the moving block stacked on top.

it's not even a little bit difficult, it's a victory lap

Ok but do it while not stopping to enjoy the spectacle and instead jumping and trying to hit each pillar with as many fireballs as possible while you're running to the next one, you know, speedrunning

Go figure is talk about speedrunning that segment of the game in the speedrun thread

This is why you don't give nerds drugs, they're too lame to handle them without freaking out.
