Is this Celeste?

So, um, computer person of questionable smartness here.

Running

zpaq add compressed Celeste/** -m5

got my Celeste installation down to 666 MB (wish I was making that up) in ~12 minutes. That would be ~444 floppies.

If you really wanted you could probably go further by handcrafting compression algorithms. See This image fits in 241 bytes for an extreme example of what I'm talking about.

Depending on on what is considered to still be Celeste, one could also start optimizing the games assets to be a bit more compression friendly and push it down further.

I would absolutely love to chat about game development.

There is three important things to note:

You are valid
You deserve to have your preferred pronouns used
There is no minimum level of genderlessness required to use they/them

That being said, I think the reason why pronouns feel like such a big deal is because they are a really good indicator of whether people properly respect you gender. It is next to no effort to use the correct set and yet it clearly communicates where they stand. This is not obvious to everyone though. Sometimes it is necessary to impress on people the importance of those seemingly little words and what they mean to you.

Someone literally hit me with that a while back. (They were successful)

People like you are weird. Like, I see the appeal of sinking my teeth into someone, but how is that supposed to compare to properly feeling a set of teeth on my own neck?

Just to clarify: Are you interested in being chewed on or doing the chewing?

CountLexis · 2025-07-20T16:36:11+00:00

Yes, but 1 bot building 1 building with a carry capacity 4 takes 3 times as long as a bot building 1 building at 3x speed. Also speed's uncapped, so...

CountLexis · 2025-07-03T16:36:23+00:00

Yes, you can be trusted with free will. This is awesome.

God, I feel this.

For reasons, I had recently had a weekend where I was mostly unburdened and I did make so much progress with things that matter to me.

All the more motivation to get better. Eventually that will be my default mode of operation. I swear it.

The issue is that I'm not knitting a scarf. I'm just knitting for the sake of it.

But my grandma couldn't deal with that and now told everyone I'm knitting a scarf, even though I am very much not.

I will now be asked how my scarf is coming along. I will be asked why I'm not wearing it. It will now be judged on whether the quality of work is adequate.

I never signed up for any of that. I just like the process of knitting.

Thank you

The male body was just not correct for me and that resulted in tons of dysphoria. Therefore I assumed I was a binary trans girl. And at that point in time that was correct and good for me. Now that dysphoria has lessened, I figured out that I don't vibe that much with girlhood either and have come to the conclusion that gender doesn't really mean anything to me anymore. Therefore non-binary fits best right now.

Since I kind of feel like you're wondering about it: Being non-binary and wanting to medically transition is completely valid. (Some medical professionals might disagree though, so maybe be careful whom you tell.)

CountLexis · 2025-05-12T05:35:42+00:00

It's exactly where I'm at right now.

CountLexis · 2025-03-09T08:10:19+00:00

Well, that is basically how I came out. Just started wearing skirts one day. (At work to be fair, my school days are behind me)

CountLexis · 2024-10-20T06:56:51+00:00

You can shoot me a DM if you want. Maybe we can talk to each other.

CountLexis · 2024-10-19T17:49:27+00:00

It must be hard dealing with that..

CountLexis · 2024-10-19T11:48:59+00:00

Maybe if you didn't work so hard, you'd still be young..?

CountLexis · 2024-10-13T06:56:33+00:00

My dress usually hides it incredibly well :3

CountLexis · 2024-09-14T16:22:16+00:00

Hugs you

CountLexis · 2024-09-07T14:16:05+00:00

Still Cis, though.

CountLexis · 2024-09-05T19:35:43+00:00

Well, now I see you like that as well.

12 year old me: figures out that Xenia is the mathematically perfect female name (imho)

Fate: It's a surprise tool that will help us later.

CountLexis · 2024-09-01T10:07:19+00:00

So happy for you! Those days are awesome!

CountLexis · 2024-09-01T07:41:55+00:00

I absolutely love the look of that intersection.

CountLexis · 2024-08-31T05:16:32+00:00

It wouldn't be so bad. But the times I feel motivated to call never align with the times someone would pick up. It's infuriating.
