one infamously frustrating level of Celeste has a cutscene at the end where the main character uses a centering technique to get a grip, imagining using her breath to keep a feather in the air. it kicks off a minigame where you do just that by pressing and releasing A. the level being so frustrating primed me to be in a similar emotional state to the main character and the minigame had the same effect on me as it did for her. it's a small thing but that always really stuck with me

Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.

4) NSFW is okay, within reason

Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com. NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].

It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions. If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
