A phone wallpaper from the game Celeste where the main character has a panic attack and you have to help her use her breath to float a feather in the air.

How is this game both so good and so hard?!

Celeste deeply impacted me. It immediately turned to be one of my favorite games of all time, even if I suck so badly at it (still hasn't been able to beat the post-game content lol).

I use one of the beautiful official phone wallpapers (the pixelated one) available on the EXOK Games website. Highly recommend them!

the music in this game is very hype

probably the first game I played with really good music

Lena Raine did the music, she's also credited with my favorite Minecraft track, Pigstep. There's a few interesting interviews with her, she seems very chill and perfect for that game.

she's also trans and the game is (kinda accidentally, cool story) about the trans experience

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago

Oh yes. Actually I just looked it up, I think it's probably close to her 10y anniversary coming out as trans. I'm not sure when, but her book was published with her dead name and that was 2014 and an interview about it was 2015, back when she was riding high on Guild Wars 2 music. Didn't realize that was so long ago!

It's my first playthrough and my makes my heart feel big feels. Also makes my blood pressure skyrocket. That wind level had me so tense, but then the feather came out and I was like who is cutting onions in here
