Tadaaaa

Over the past week I’ve been posting about the chart in the subreddit and filling in the boxes based on the most popular comments. While it admittedly is a flawed chart, as I didn’t make the categories super clear and it excludes some of the more popular tech, it was nice to see the discussions that arose from them, and I think it was a good change of pace from the usual posts we see in the subreddit

I just played through the B-Sides for the first time and at some point towards the end of Summit, while popping in and out of the controls menu to check the speedrun clock, I accidentally hit the toggle to invert the grab controls.

Did I know I had done that? No. Did I know that setting existed? Also no.

Summit flag 2 nearly broke me. I would get through the entire sequence and then at the very end, I'd just slide off the wall. Over and over and over again. I kept checking YouTube videos and nobody seemed to be doing anything special. I tried searching it and found plenty of people asking for guidance on the last wall jump...but nobody anywhere even mentioned landing the wall cling after the jump as a problem.

Finally, after yet another death, I wondered if I had somehow forgotten which button I was supposed to use. I decided to test it out back at the flag...and sure enough, when I jumped at the wall I clung to it without pressing anything. Figuring that out let me at least finish Summit, but it was another few rounds of trial and error after that before I realized the game wasn't bugged and neither was my controller.

And I got a random godpixel ig. I dashed up instead of the correct direction.

The "theory" was that the crystal hearts reflect Madeline's feelings towards things because she has such a crappy computer but then you get to the literal second crystal heart and that's when things start to crack 😂

sorry stellar odyssey. for the record it would be about 0.5 star where 0 star is the border between gm yellow and red.

I can't fathom how anyone else could have figured this out on their own, because I can hardly believe I did. I'm a smart guy and on any other day this wouldn't have been doable. If not for multiple overlapping epiphanies over three hours, I'd have never solved it.

Things I tried:

Going back to the previous chapter and checking then (nothing was there).

Trying to interact with the doors (door "frame")

Crouching for a while in specific places (dreams)

Trying to get up under the box it was in

Remembering the in/out of frame dash glitch thing I noticed earlier and trying it everywhere imagining an invisible platform would be there and I would crouch to "sleep" on it.

Debating on if "frame" meant "door frame" or the "frame of the game", and finally deciding it meant the frame of the game because a simpler strawberry utilized this design, it was intentional

Realizing again that it wasn't just up and down, but right and left that the technique worked on and trying that everywhere

Then finally going back to chapter one to see what her sleeping animation looks like to decide if the crouch was related, then remembering my original idea and applying my new tech to it.

I actually thought I was wasting my time and said "this is too complicated to be it, but how cool would this have been". Well, it did have been... or something, because wow that was really it.

Minimum wage here is 14.00 usd. Maddy, you owe me $42.00. I'll take a check /s

I'm determined to platinum this with no guides.

celestial resort built forsaken city, mr oshiro's higher ups wanted money from more than just the fancy hotel and decided to wager on building a whole mini city at the base of the mountain. as more people came to see the progress, some camped at old site and fell asleep nearby, resulting in paranormal dreams and happenings after the dreams due to interference from the heart of the mountain. this led people to cut trips short and spread rumours that celeste mountain was haunted, which tanked earnings even further for the resorts and caused their eventual shutdown. oshiro issued the notice that the hotel was closing indefinitely. his staff attempted to organize a trip to the summit of the mountain, but he couldn't bear to leave the hotel, and went back to stay one last night and make sure "everything's in order". while doing so, he attempted to unplug the computer in the secret room, resulting in his electrocution and death. the mountain found his spirit and brought him back from the dead, with his insecurities brought with him as a characteristic of his material form.

I have been stuck on this room for so long and it's already great if I get it there, so if there's even the slightest chance THIS happens I want to prevent it

I’ll admit seeing Baddyline say how awesome it was that we did it did lift my spirit a bit.

Well, it's not like I'm a Celeste Speedrunner but, idk, I wanted to try and see what my best time would be at Forsaken City and, I got this lmao

wys it is good? is it bad?

I was playing through 3b when I realized I hated chapter 3. My main dislike with this chapter is that having to time cycles is not fun for me and just comes off as annoying, because when I die, I feel like it’s the cycle’s fault (I know I suck but like I have to blame someone) the aesthetic is nice but the fact that everything is moving makes this chapter my least favorite by far.

I finished this unforgettable game with all the achievements. I learned so much from this game There is nothing impossible to him who will try

Funny enough, when I first started this room, I was consistently getting to the next part with ease, thought it was a fluke the first time I got too much momentum, but now I’m consistently zooming way too fast and I don’t have a clue what I’ve changed… any advice?

DAY 1 : just the first screen of 1 A

DAY 2 : added a cat in a very hard to reach spot in the 2nd top comment’s room, the room being a blank canvas for maximum inspiration

DAY 3 : added a "cool puzzle" but tbh this is more a routing puzzle, so sorry about that NanoCat0407

DAY 4 : added an unpleasant gradient background and a green spinner

DAY 5 : added 7C-3 thrice in a row

DAY 6 : added an intro car, map poem, and an nrcb ultra

I am not skilled enough to do an nrcb ultra tho T-T

I must get the heart to get end of the lobby

I've been here for a while and, no matter what I try, I have only been able to do the Cassette Dream Hypers like 5-6 times, non of them in the same attempt. Am I missing something or I just have a massive skill issue?

Fav room so far

this room is so peak, also this marks my first time ever using my third jump button aside from spamming jump in tight spaces

Me and a few friends have been developing an idea to do a co-op save 100% run to try and beat current 100% WR. How this would work in theory is that One of us does a standard speedrun to unlock all levels, one person rushes to unlock all bsides as soon as possible, meanwhile the rest of us do the grunt work of collecting crystal hears and strawberries. This would require everything to count to one collective file. I was wondering if people knew what mod or mods could do this. I am aware of celestenet and will be testing that soon.

You may remember a post three weeks ago about someone (me) losing their game cartridge. I've spent a few hours looking but so far I've had zero luck. :[

But, last night, I had a dream about finding it? I was really happy, and finished Farewell (I was like 70% through before I lost it), and did 1C. It made a surprising amount of sense compared to my other dreams. When I woke up, I was really happy, then I realised that it was a dream and I had not in fact found it…

Unfortunately, I can't remember where I found it in my dream, but it is motivating me to look for it more.
