I just saw what the 'Full Body' logo from the Catherine rerelease is supposed to be.  I figured it'd be wine swishing about in a glass, but that didn't quite match due to some element pointing outwards on the left hand side.

Apparently, it's the outline of undies on one of the main female characters.  indecision

I've started Celeste yesterday.  As someone who grew up with 2D platformers, this is my cup of tea.  Currently on the 3rd chapter.

I didn't recognize the green jewels to be mid-air reload points for your dash move, so I crossed the first one with a balsy move where I'd jump towards the far end of the spikes and would cling to the sides of those that were slightly higher raised so I could jump off from there and cross the whole breath of the screen in 2 jumps.  laugh

Oh god. Woke up stood coughing over the bathroom sink so hard it felt like my lungs would flip outside my body. Then no energy so sat on the cold bathroom floor coughing into the bin. Then so tired I couldn't stand up. Just lay on the bathroom floor and covered myself in used towels.

I noticed it pretty much from out of the gate, but I will admit depending on how it's presented it's very easy to miss. It's one of the things I've really liked about a lot of the promotional material they did for that game. It's like they went out and grabbed the handbook for '70s and '80s subliminal advertising tricks and started playing around with it.

Coming late to the party, being the rather low-key release of the Switch version, I had not seen any of the promotional material.  The image showing the woman 'wearing' the logo pops up for a split second when you boot up the game, but that's basically it.

Damn. That sounds absolutely horrible. Get well soon.

Ha, ha. I never realized that. I saw the artwork and such, just thought it was simply some fancy artwork. LOL

Thanks to sudden stratosferic ploar heating 6 or so weeks ago we're now getting a cold streak of at least a week. It started snowing Saturday night and we have between 5 and 10cm of snow now, which is the most our kids have ever seen over here.  They're also making the most of it, playing outside as much as they can.

That’s so weird. We just had a pretty huge snowfall here a couple of days ago and we also have a week + long of freezing cold temperatures here as well.

Everything looks more peacefull when blanketed in snow.  The region we live is rather ugly; all asfalt, brick houses, sheds and structures in gardens...  Snow softens that, makes everything coherent again while hiding all the sharp edges.  I think we'd all be happier people if we had snow for longer stretches in winter.

Loving Celeste so far.  Deaths come quick, but so do successes.  The artstyle is nice too, although a little too low-detail for my liking.  Cool how they stole Rare's garbled speach.

Just wanted to say it'll be in the low '80s here today. Florida winter is pretty much over.

Be careful what you wish for. Nyaa

But yeah it does look very nice during and just after a heavy snowfall however a few days after that things start looking all dirty after that with soot settling on top of the snow and sand getting pushed up from snowploughs. Then when it warms up it gets all slushy and sloppy.

Still seems perfect to cover up everything in one cohesive blanket.  Soot, sandy, slushy, ...  I couldn't care less.  Nyaa

It's been in the 50s here for the past week or so. Been taking advantage of the nice hiking weather.

I've been taking advantage of the 'sitting in front of my window, gazing outside' weather.
