I seriously recommend checking out Celeste if you’re into platformers with the difficulty of dark souls. The main game is completable in 8-10 hours, but theres about 2-3 times more content in that game. There is also a speedrunning and a modding community.
I’ve heard so much about Celeste and have never gotten around to checking it out, so I was really pleased to see it coming to Gamepass, I’m going to have to try it.
Something about Celeste is truly rewarding. You’re very right about the challenge being fair, and I think that’s what does it. It’s definitely tough, but not unreasonably so. It’s so worth it.
Edit: replied to the wrong comment, but my point still stands haha
That game stands out in so many unique ways. The story is emotionally mature, the challenge is very tough but very fair, and the soundtrack by Lena Raine is gorgeous
It’s hard but the levels are one screen long and you restart instantly on death (or after pressing a button). So you don’t have to replay lots of stuff and you don’t lose any progress. I don’t like Dark Souls but I loved Celeste.
For starters, it scrap sites instead of torrents so you don’t have to worry about that old show having no seeds. But it’s not a matter of either having one or the other, you can have both !
Sony doesn’t give a shit because non-PSN countries account for fuck all of their sales. Just pirate it and move on. Stop crying like it’s your Holy duty to give megacorps your money.
Please make sure that they also refund you the interest on the money. Although preordering games is pretty lame imo, companies should be punished for going back on preorders, better yet have to make it work no holds barred.
Why not opt for FOSS, self-hosted options such as jellyfin? Geniune question, as servers and storage are relatively cheap, and in combination with the arr suite you can easily have a decent catalog without tol much effort.
Gotta admit, I get the hate against boomers. Like, they literally shoot you with artillery when you first try to approach them. (Pro tip: stay close the the rocks, might save your life)
Honestly, I think am close to done with game pass. The games on it are fine, they are acceptable. But the fact that I can’t play them on linux/steam deck and the fact they go away. I’d probably just rather sub to humble monthly or such.
Starfield and Forza Motorsport are coming to Game Pass on day 1. Both pretty solid reasons to stick around (or at least resub in a month or two) IMHO.
But the real trick is to keep an eye on Slickdeals. I got three years of Game Pass Ultimate for like $120 or something like that a little while back. Game Pass is so much better when it’s a fraction of the normal price! 🙃
You don’t own those games though. You can’t play them on any device you want to. I got kids so I’m wanting them to play these games in a few years. I’d rather just pick up starfield if it’s good. Forza doesn’t interest me at all.
I have such mixed feelings about all the time I spent with my cameras during the event. By time I realized I had no practice with the camera and eq mount for daytime use, it was cloudy the whole time at home. Totality is not something you can reasonably practice anyway. So yeah, I have a few cool totality pictures with varying detail and a couple hundred showing the partial phases… But for what? They’re not as good as many other amateurs, let alone professionals. If there was ever a time to deal with the hassle of raw photos, it was then. Part of why I gave up on most astrophotography is because the best I could possibly do is simply match it to scientific equipment. It’s cool to do it, but there’s no personalization. Instead, I look more for nightscapes or wide angle really detailed starfields. I’m still conflicted as to whether or not I experienced it properly. I got to show the pics to some people passing by after, assuming I was the go-to person for info on what they experienced, something I love about night time astronomy, but those aren’t such time-limited events.
I’ll probably revel in memories whenever I actually flip through the pictures. But, personally, I don’t think it was worth spending so much of my time getting pictures of a black hole in a black background rather than just letting my mark 1 eyeballs observe the hole in the blue-fade skies.
However, the one piece I absolutely would bring every single time again is binoculars. Maybe that’s why I feel like I didn’t see the eclipse. The view in my 10x binos was so incredibly detailed, the memory matches the stacked and tweaked pictures. I could see more than just the big laser-don’t flare on the bottom, I saw at least 3. Just unreal, no sight in my life before could explain it. A cartoonishly large corona with a black hole in a black background. Maybe I just couldn’t comprehend.
The light effects near totality were certainly something to experience. Decades of experience being in sunlight just didn’t jive with what the sun was doing then. It was more akin to a distant white streetlight rather than a sun. It dimmed and crisped shadows unlike a sunset by not turning orange and blurring of the edges.
I’m glad you had the emotional experience I was expecting to have.
Yeah, my photography issues were similar, re: unfamiliar context. I’m still puzzled as to why the quicksetting menu works totally differently when using it in mirrorless mode. But oh well. There’s always… 2044??? Oh, crap.
I admit, other than a better lens with a tighter view, the bits of equipment I really wished I’d invested in were a tracking motor and a shutter remote. I paid zero attention to my camera during totality, but I still had this nagging voice in the back of my head telling me that I should check my centering, and I didn’t need that.
To potentially save you the confusion I had, the next popular one in North America will really be 2045. They’re both in August, but the 2044 TSE is a relatively short, northerly event with totality ending in Montana at sunset. Meanwhile, 2045 is more akin to the 2017 path, passing from California to Florida.
Yeah, not much of an emotional reaction from me, beyond a slightly incredulous laugh and an extended wow punctuated by gawking in awe. Definitely should have brought my 'nocs!
