I spend an unnecessary amount of time thinking about the fall damage in Spelunker
Neo Quinn
not Spelunky, Spelunker
Neo Quinn
this game
this game
Neo Quinn
if the Spelunker there steps forwards without catching the lift
Neo Quinn
and falls those, like, 16 pixels
Neo Quinn
they will die
Neo Quinn
that's a fatal drop
izzy.vrm
the fall damage in spelunker occupies a permanent part of my brain because
Neo Quinn
it's almost as bad as dark souls 2
izzy.vrm
it's featured prominently in the opening scroll of game center cx
daughter hours
well, let's think about this
daughter hours
there's a whole lift system for that drop
daughter hours
that suggests it's actually a pretty long drop
daughter hours
which means
daughter hours
for scale purposes
daughter hours
the Spelunker is a giant
daughter hours
which would make relatively short falls even MORE dangerous
Princess Emily
I mean like, if you think about it,
Princess Emily
that fall is the same height if not a little more than the Spelunker(?) is
Princess Emily
most real people do not regularly take falls of ~6 feet onto rock
Princess Emily
especially while also weighed down with mining gear
Neo Quinn
I think if I fell six feet I would not die
Princess Emily
I would,
Neo Quinn
I'd hurt my knees
ooh mama suemay
the thing about the original plurk, though, in Spelunker in particular
ooh mama suemay
You do not take fall damage from hitting the ground from too great a height
ooh mama suemay
after you fall a certain number of pixels, you die, in the air
ooh mama suemay
it is, in fact, the fall that kills you and not the sudden stop at the end
Overbringer
If you hurt your knees in the depths
Overbringer
you might as WELL be dead
Neo Quinn
maybe it's an emotional death
Neo Quinn
having fallen off a cliff, the spelunker laments that they've failed as a spelunker
Neo Quinn
the game knows they will never survive the depths without self confidence
Dragomorph
just a reminder this exists 
Spelunker is a teacher (スペランカー先生) - Opening 1 - YouT...
Neo Quinn
for a given value of exists
