I just don't think we should allow glitches on the leaderboards, it's not Christ-like

What the hell are you talking about

Psalms 104:5 says "he set the Earth on its foundations, it can never be moved." Glitches are trying to move the foundations of the game set by God through the devs

Obligatory ้ถๆฒณๆๅฃซ is metroid and ๆถ้ญๅ is castlevania
It seems the unfortunate naming of this genre did not escape the chinese language either
้ถๆฒณๅ (lit: galaxy city) is still a banger name for a genre though

Glowkeeper logo with a pure character with a white scarf and simple body shape (round head, black eyes) holding a firefly glowing yellow
The player pushes a rock towards a stack of other rocks cutting off access to a higher ledge
The player uses the fireflies in a five-pointed-star shape to erase grassy blocks in their way
Glowkeeper by @oolimry.bsky.social and @bucketfish.me, an exploration puzzle platformer [PC]
With the light of fireflies, manipulate the world to break obstacles, construct bridges, and find your way through a glowing world.

I'm staring at my own game figuring out how @mikanhako.bsky.social managed to pull this off
Perhaps I should make this speedrun routing a secret bonus puzzle in game or something
Anyways, Glowkeeper in 1.5 days ๐ฃ๏ธ๐ฃ๏ธ

Celeste Movement Guide Thumbnail
I can finally release my biggest project so far: A Celeste Movement Guide. This is by far my biggest project that I worked on and off for the past few years. I'm very glad to finally be able to share it and give quite a few tidbits to optimize your Celeste speedruns.

Gentoo Rescue store page on Steam showing Very Positive with 50 all-time reviews. There are actually 53 reviews, but Steam doesn't count the 3 users that were gifted the game.
Gentoo Rescue is officially Very Positive! It's 100% positive with 50 (actually 53) reviews. This is quite a milestone for a difficult puzzle game in a niche subgenre.
Thanks for all of the support! On towards 100 reviews we go ๐ง

The History of Celeste Speedruns - The Peak of Movement
youtu.be/5lgPt6TPfCg?...
Yall should go check out this video it's such a well made video on the history of celeste speedrunning.
As a somewhat newer runner myself the first part was really educational and the nostalgia really hit when I recalled watching @isaactayy.bsky.social grind for 25
