| VintageGin 12/03/19 1:50:50 AM #17 | 70% or higher. I've had some pretty fantastic 100%. White chocolate is also good for different reasons. Milk chocolate is pointless. --- Ginhyun https://imgur.com/t7G7uoU |

| VintageGin 11/29/19 3:50:59 PM #33 | I've completed the first 5 chapters + B sides so far. Golden Ridge B Side has my most deaths at 615. I think Mirror Temple and Old Site have been my favorites so far, though I actually enjoyed the windy parts of Golden Ridge --- Ginhyun https://imgur.com/t7G7uoU |

| Topic | Finally playing Celeste |
| VintageGin 11/26/19 9:45:47 PM #19 | I don't know if it matters? They are significantly harder than the regular sides, so I'm wondering if maybe it makes sense to clear the main chapters first. --- Ginhyun https://imgur.com/t7G7uoU |

Although even if money's an issue I'd still reccomend checking out some of the hiking spots around the area.

| VintageGin 11/18/19 10:50:30 AM #6 | Ngamer64 posted... Fantastic job! I've run a few myself and come close but haven't been able to crack 2 yet, it's my goal as well. Keep trying! Also, maybe it's just a placebo effect, but it feels like caffeine helps my running performance a lot. This was the first run where I had a little coffee 2 hours before the race, and I think it may have been what pushed me over the edge. MZero11 posted... I can't even imagine running for 2 hours straight I felt the same a few years back. I still can't believe there are people who run for 8+ hours --- Ginhyun https://imgur.com/t7G7uoU |

| Topic | What's your job like? |
| VintageGin 11/12/19 12:13:04 PM #2 | I manage a small team that does client operations for an adtech company (basically a company that helps websites/apps make money via ad revenue). I'm fairly ambivalent toward my job. It pays well, and I generally like the people I work with, but it's fairly far from where I live (so I work remote on a regular basis). I do enjoy meeting with clients and essentially wining and dining them, though that's not a primary component of my job. It's a tech job so it's got the typical techie office with stuff like cold brew coffee on tap, catered lunches, snacks. All in all, it's fine. It's comfortable and not overly stressful. --- Ginhyun https://imgur.com/t7G7uoU |

| VintageGin 11/05/19 4:57:56 PM #55 | Nelson_Mandela posted... It's an important distinction to make. It sort of reminds me of people who watch shows like Two and a Half Men and don't realize they are being manipulated by the laugh track. Maybe one day MCU fans will grow up and realize how hollow these films are and will watch something truly great like Parasite! Not taking part in this argument but just wanted to say that Parasite was amazing --- Ginhyun https://imgur.com/t7G7uoU |

It's pretty much in accordance with his stance in previous topics, so I think it's something he actually believes.

| Topic | Super Metroid-- where am I going? |
| VintageGin 10/29/19 9:26:38 PM #45 | Lopen posted... I mean there was a broken glass tube somewhere nearby right, and the top and bottom areas scroll off the screen? That really was hint enough for 9 year old Lopen. Not sure why it needed to be more obvious I mean, there were two reasons it seemed non-obvious. 1. Like I mentioned, the broken tube doesn't really look like a broken tube. I just thought it was a weird plant thing because it was green. I spent a lot of time investigating things I thought were weird in Maridia that turned out to be just weird with no real purpose. 2. The fact that it only reacts to the power bomb. What kind of glass are we working with here? A super missile isn't enough? Also the fact that it doesn't react to the x-ray visor, which shows breakable blocks. You could argue that because it's glass, there wouldn't be anything to see, but the game's internal logic with the x-ray visor is more about showing what breaks a given item rather than looking inside something. On a related note, Portal did breaking a glass tube for a puzzle in a much more intuitive way. --- Ginhyun https://imgur.com/t7G7uoU |

| Topic | Super Metroid-- where am I going? |
| VintageGin 10/28/19 8:28:14 PM #38 | I used the x-ray visor to conserve power bombs because otherwise I would have just done that all the time to find hidden passages Which is ironically what prevented me from progressing --- Ginhyun https://imgur.com/t7G7uoU |
