Somethin' filled up my heart with nothin'.Better by far you should forget and smile Than that you should remember and be sad.Weep and you weep alone for the sad old earth must borrow its mirth, but has trouble enough on its own. To learn for what, please resume climbing. It is in falling short of your own goals that you will surpass those who exceed theirs. Find fault with yourself and not with others. Harm comes to those who know only victory and do not know defeat. Patience is the foundation of eternal peace.I sigh the lack of many a thing I sought,Īnd with old woes new wail my dear time’s waste -William Shakespeare To the sessions of sweet silent thought.If you try to please audiences, uncritically accepting their tastes, it can only mean that you have no respect for them -Andrei Tarkovsky.Of all sad words of tongue or pen, the saddest are these, 'It might have been.Sorrow is my own yard where the new grass flames as it has flamed often before but not with the cold fire that closes round me this year.You have no rose without a thorn a diligent picker will avoid the pricks and gather the flower. Life is a mosaic of pleasure and pain-grief is an interlude between two moments of joy.To survive is to find meaning in the suffering. Do not stand at my grave and cry, I am not there, I did not die.Knowing this, truly believing it, will make you less miserable now. You cannot believe now that you'll ever feel better.I feel within me a peace above all earthly dignities, a still and quiet consciences-William Shakespeare.The pain I feel now is the happiness I had before. The soul would have no rainbow had the eyes no tears.This thing that we call failure is not the falling down, but the staying down.(Music) "Goin' Down the Road Feeling Bad" -Cliff Carlisle.That’s a deep frustration, a real punch in the gut. The game also features quotes from famous writers and musicians when the player falls down the mountain and a monologue voiced by Bennett Foddy when the player is going up the mountain. The game consists of a mountain with various levels and obstacles that the player has to overcome using controls that are very unfriendly to the player (a signature game mechanic of Bennett Foddy's). When you do this you can enter a chat room with other players who have completed the game to discuss the experience.Getting Over It with Bennett Foddy is a platformer video game created by developer Bennett Foddy and released on October 7th, 2017. You complete each level by reaching the highest point on the map. This is made harder because if you fall you go right back to the beginning. It's a really hard game and increases in difficulty as you progress up the mountain. This underlines the challenge and perseverance of humanity when faced with an absurd and difficult task. Like Everything the game is accompanied by voice-over commentary by Bennett Foddy, who talks about various philosophical topics as you ascend each peak. Using a mouse, trackpad or controller you try to move the man's upper body and hammer to climb a steep mountain. You play Diogenes, who like his namesake resides in a large metal cauldron and wields a Yosemite hammer. However, your only means of locomotion is a hammer that can stick to objects and drag you forwards. Getting Over It with Bennett Foddy is a strange game about movement and momentum.
