Am I the only one who hit 1000 deaths in Celeste and felt weirdly proud of it
So I was grinding through the B-side of Chapter 7 in Celeste last week, the one with the wall jumps over the spikes, and I died for like the 40th time in a row on the same stupid screen. I wasn't even mad anymore, just numb, and then the death counter in the corner rolled over to 1000. I just sat there staring at it. A thousand times I've watched this girl explode into red crystals and respawn at the start of a room. My roommate walked by and asked if I was okay because I was laughing at my TV at 1am like a crazy person. The weird part is I didn't feel bad about it at all, I felt like I'd earned something. Like a frequent flyer card but for falling into pits and getting impaled on spikes. Has anyone else hit a number in a game that should be embarrassing but somehow felt like an achievement instead?
