Oh my god I have hundreds of them!

On-topic : Valtteri.

Try to guess why

That's like almost the entire forum

then it isn't a well designed level, period. Part of the fun of playing video games is to experience something new, to be faced with a challenge and to overcome said challenge using only your wit and the game mechanics. If a good level is played after watching a video of someone else playing and beating it, then the level isn't as much fun to play because the player already knows what's coming up and part of the experience is lost; it's not unlike reading spoilers for a movie before actually watching said movie.

If the player isn't given enough time to react to hazards without advance knowledge of them, then it just results in an unintuitive, unfair level, regardless of intent.

On topic: now that I thought about it some more, my opposite would probably be Andi Alif Batara. He frequently makes a lot of similar levels while I try to differentiate my levels and end up taking a long time to finish them (with few exceptions). Plus, I haven't changed my username or avatar.

I have a cat but no camera RIP. How long have you guys had your pets?

I've had my dog for around two years. She looks a little different than in the picture, since that's from about a year ago and she's much more muscular now. Before Shadow (that's her name), my family had a Jack Russell terrier for 17 years named Storm

My cat's name is Shadō.

I have 3 cats. One for like 4-5 years or something. Second, like over 1 year and the last multiple months.

My cats are siblings, they're turning 2 soon. We got them a few weeks after their birth.

Rooster: I've had him for around five years.

Sleepy but not as cute (sorry for the bad lighting):

Some people are taking this too seriously while others aren't taking it seriously enough.

Tbh the closest to my opposite are probably PixelPest and castlewars. You guys tend to be quite soft while I've adapted a 'tough-luck' and condescending attitude recently. I like to blame it on my significant lack of a love life, which I found out in January is a great thing to have.

Well said TNT. In my experience though I'd say I've adapted into an "altruistic misanthrope" attitude over "tough-luck" because of stuff like you said.

I tried to consider multiple areas where I might be different, which is how I came up with [Egg]Egg. What it took was Egg creating a thread as strange as the Apple Pie thread while I'm a bit hesitant just to create a thread, compared to me posting in political threads while Egg does not. I think those are two very big differences compared to what shows or video games you like.

Mere participation in political threads is one reason I did not pick AeroMatter.
