Incredible reflection from a player on their journey to be the first to beat an insane challenge in Pokemon Salt & Shadow.

Celine, the fact you started insecure and grew into an unstoppable juggernaut was always the point. "It always looks bad at first, but then we find a way".

Well done.

In the wee hours of April 22, 2025, Celine Kalante Love & Friends (The Woodlings) were the first in the world to beat one of my favorite challenges ever: Pokemon Salt & Shadow, No Sacrifices, Perish Mode. This is on an opposite end of the conceptual spectrum from Kaizo IronMON, and is just as hard.

Trail of the Behemoth 2nd Ed. + NEON HOPE Role-Playing Game Two TTRPGs that are ideal for bringing to board game night. Hunt enormous monsters & topple dystopian corporate power.

I released a new project! Does "TTRPG you can bring to boardgame night!" or "Shadow of the Colossus meets Monster Hunter" or "Hopeful Cyberpunk Dystopia" sound weirdly interesting? Of course it does!

If so, it'd be awesome if you shared it too. :)

@jennynicholson.bsky.social You love insane reality TV shows and bizarre corporate projects - Have you seen Spark'd - the bizarre corporate reality show that EA made for the Sims - where "pro Sims players" competed for like $100k? It tried to be "Project Runway but for the Sims."

Still one of the best images ever made. I'd paint this on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel.

Want to know how Game Devs give eachother useful feedback? I wrote about it for Riot Games. Also works for posting feedback for devs to read on reddit and similar.
