Yes, I'm made a "Climb Celeste" joke. What do you mean I stole that joke from Rumble Tumble Gaming Gamer

I had 0 idea as to what kind of video I could make after the Super Freaks video. Another game I want to review had already come out and I was really interested in giving a new perspective to it, but I didnt have enough money to buy it. While looking at other Steam games I could review or give a retrospective on, I stumbled upon of the most famous, most beloved indie games of 2018: Celeste.
I remembered my troubled history with it, and decided it was time to finally give the game a chance, after all, the game's 5 year anniversary was going to happen soon (I started making the video right after the Super Freaks video went live). I knew it was going to be difficult but fair, having Assist Mode and other accessibility settings incase I got stuck, but I didn't end up those features, only for a segment of this video. The video does state my final first playthrough death count, and honestly, it's impressing how this game's level design can be!
On another note, making this video has been some of the best fun I've ever had. I'm glad I unlocked the community tab, since otherwise I couldn't have communicated this video would have took longer to upload than I anticipated, but in the end, I'm glad I took the time to make this video the best it could be! Infact, when I was editing the part of The Summit, my heart was pumping hard and I couldn't figure out why. But after further thought it really is because this video is truly a change for this channel moving forward, for me.
