I had to come back again to say BLOODY AMAZING AGAIN. This game is making me feel like I’m so lucky to be experiencing it for the first time. I’m sure I’ll wish to be where I am now once I get a lot further into the game.

Anyway - just discovered Greenpath!
INCREDIBLE.

How do they make it switch from a creepy melancholy empty vibe to an alive, adventurous jungle vibe????? Both atmospheres are just beautiful in their own way, and the way the music adapts slightly to the Greenpath is just fucking cool. I love how the creatures slightly increase in difficulty while maintaining the same pattern as the ones in the crossroads, and I love the mysterious appearance of the girl (from Silksong, or idk if that’s her name) and how she runs off and you just wanna catch up. I love the introduction to new mechanics like dropping the platforms by cutting the vines, and the journal that creepy guy gives you.

Last things that I loved before leaving the crossroads was that Stag who takes you to different places. AWESOME. I had already payed the toll but hadn’t rung the bell and when that thing came through I was just like WHAT
So satisfying to defeat the False Knight and get the fire ability to get through that shield bug. (Apologies for the no doubt wrong names).

Still waiting for the wall jump ability to get to those caterpillars and set them free and to reach other places, as well as finding the key to that slot and a way to break through the floor in the crystal mine.

I’m loving how it comes together bit by bit without showing you what to do exactly. Such a satisfying reward system.

I might just be obliged to come here and glaze this game each time I do something interesting. If people like it I will, though I’m not sure if it’s torturing or amusing to see someone getting to play this first time and maybe missing very obvious things.

Please do not spoil anything, tbh I’ll probably find out soon cuz I am ADDICTED.

Had to come in here just to say WOW. I’ve been playing for about an hour and I can’t get over the beauty and dark whimsy of this game. Even with a simple 2D structure it feels like an open world with its non linear story and large map. I love that it doesn’t tell you where to go or what to do or what the story is exactly, but it’s left up to us to figure it out. I’m in love with the combat and creatures you find, but mostly with the incredibly palpable atmosphere, music and details that make it feel so creepy and melancholy.

It’s so satisfying to be presented with such a clear masterpiece that I can purchase for so little money in the E shop. I’m enjoying it so so much.

I have 1 question: I’ve seen mention of some “expansions”. Are these purchased separately or are they included in the game?

Are the Sunday paper comic strips in the lazy Sunday book different to all the other strips from the main books or is it basically a compilation of some strips from the books that used to appear in the paper?

Same question with the tenth anniversary book. Are they different exclusive strips or same ones from the main books?

Lastly, in the compilations like the authoritative Calvin and Hobbes, do they include the FULL two books (Yukon ho and weirdos from another planet) or just some strips of each?

The community has been deleting my post so if it happens dm me with the answer if you have it pls!

I’m not sure what year model it is, but it has the manual screen not the touch screen and you have to press on Media to activate the Bluetooth. It connected perfectly easily to my old android but now I have an iPhone 15 and no matter what I do it just won’t connect!

I know no sh is superficial or less valid/serious but I wonder if you count relapse as any small cut again for example or just a few minor ones, or do you count it as fully going back to how badly or consistently you used to before? Maybe you count it as more than a day of doing it? Idk.

I don’t mean B sides but more like random songs some that even aren’t on Spotify. For example Feels Like I Only Go Backwards by Tame Impala which they covered, or I LOVE their Love Machine Cover by Girls Aloud. Some people maybe recently discovered tlsp or Vertigo with Alex and Mini Mansions, but I just recently discovered Diamonds Are Forever and I’m obsessed. Alex sounds amazing!

What about you?

I am 18 and my parents are aware of my mental health struggles (anxiety, depression) and the seriousness of it ever since they found out I was doing SH. After that I got medicated for a couple of years, I had some therapists and psychiatrists I had to go to (never really liked it I only liked one therapist), and I got clean and generally felt good. The meds honestly felt like they didn’t do much but it was Prozac which is not like instantly evident and maybe it did do me good I just didn’t notice it in a massive way.

I wasn’t always consistent with it, sometimes I felt like I didn’t like taking them because it made me feel weak and kind of covering up my actual issues, specially since I stopped going to therapy after I went on a trip and came back and just stopped going. Apart from making me shake a bit more than I used to I didn’t have any side effects, but since I didn’t feel much of a change I stopped them. It was horrible, I had to take them in liquid form and I got so depressed and tired during the comedown. I had to go to the psychiatrist again to get the clearance and, as I always did, I lied about the severity of my mental health. Truth is I never really understood why I agreed to stop or wether I wanted to or not.

Anyway it’s been like nearly a year and I’ve been feeling real bad. Very frequent depression, constant high anxiety, suicidal thoughts and relapse. I want to go to therapy again, I’m aware of what I’m going through and I know I need help. I even feel like I should go into a mental health program, because from the very beginning I have lied about suicidal ideation and even an attempt, and just the general severity of it all.

Anyway, my first issue: I feel like I need to go back on medication, but I feel like it’ll be covering up the wounds and not fixing them. Not letting the reality show. Even if I am in therapy.

Second issue (main one): how do I tell my parents this? I’m still dependent on them and I cannot bring myself to talk about this since it was already hard before, and I know I’ll have to explain WHY I think this and probably go into detail about depression pits, sh and severe anxiety moments I’ve had. However I definitely need help, but how, how do I say this after leaving the medication and complaining about going to therapy every time?
