This is something that often gets lost in translation if you’re mired in internet circlejerk communities. HRT is not magic. It’s amazing, but it’s not magic. If you want to be read as your gender you gotta work at it, and part of that work is trusting in yourself and the process

Reminder that applications to the Experimental Games Showcase at GDC are still open until October 23! If you're working on something interesting, submit it! We want to see games that surprise, delight, and inspire. fr, one of my rubrics for curation is: "Makes me go 'woooooah' when I look at it."

This map reminded me why I fell in love with Celeste. It's a short-and-sweet beginner map, but the vibes are immaculate, and there's really unique platforming around the assets it uses. On more than on occasion, I said, out loud, "OHHHH, that's really neat!" You gotta play it, it's worth the time.

A drawing of Madeline Celeste sitting in front of an orange tent by a campfire. The surrounding area is mountainous and forest-like, and very blueish green! A very C-shaped moon is in the top left corner.The information screen after completing a Celeste level. It reads "Up the Amethyst Trail" in the top-right corner, followed by 4/4 berries, and 36 deaths.
