• they/them...for now

weird depressed person trying to make a game? actually not sure. yeah i should probably more thoroughly interrogate my appreciation of the referenced video game character

also:

I almost want to cry (and I'm trying not to)

I've been going through some kind of shit lately

I just see the game, that suddenly exists now

I didn't know that I wanted it

I've only been playing for a few minutes

but this like, feels different

like, I thought (oh fuck I'm crying and I don't know why) that uncritical joy and wonder had just left me forever

Since I beat the first video game I ever loved as a child, when I was still that child, and I became depressed?...because it was over? Is this that which I thought was lost for so long?

I can't think straight. I don't know whether to be upset or euphoric, or both?

The original Celeste didn't even do this to me

But now I'm idling in this spiritual-successor-sequel-whatever and it's

Magical

I think?

Help?

Okay, maybe it's time to stop this crying and just try to play it actually
