It’s a Half-Life mod where you have to navigate through an insanely deadly maze by solving movement puzzles, to the amusement of a sadistic commentator and audience, without knowing why you’re even in there. Level design is unique and minimalist, the soundtrack is absolutely awesome.
And it came out 5 years before Portal.
I wouldn’t call it super hard, but you usually die a few dozen times per level until you’ve figured out the solution to reach the next one.
And there are over 100 levels.
It’s extremely frustrating at times, and that is the point. The game immerses you in the experience of being a trapped lab rat.
It’s not a relaxing, fun game.
I am a mod, but i am so out of passion. The original egg_irl on reddit is responsible for me finding myself as a trans woman.
The title rule exists to keep this place light-hearted. there are other places on this instance for deeper conversation, but this is first and foremost a place to share memes about eggs and gender questioning people and being trans.
The vast majority of community reports here are about breaking the title rule. Every once in a while there’s a spam report, or a report of stuff being off-topic, but mostly? just people breaking the title rule.
I get it. I thought the title rule was silly at first too. but it helps keep this place light-hearted and a place where people can flirt with their gender and/or dip their toes in the water safely, and make silly memes about the whole thing, without having to get serious about it and confront deep things within yourself you’re not ready to yet.
Sure, some random gru’s plan meme may topple you into that place anyway, but that’s the point. The only person who should crack an egg is the person inside that egg, and only through personal realization and self-understanding. The title rule helps us not step over that incredibly important boundary line.
Also, another point here: In the rules you’ll find a long list of content warnings. The title rule serves to make sure anyone who wants to avoid any type of post can do so without having to look at the content.
Anything you might want to put in a title, instead off egg_emojis_irl, you can put in the description underneath your meme. still get to say what you want to say, but it’s all post-click, and not just appearing on someone’s feed.
I feel like tagging shouldn’t be optional, like they should be required to tag it as transmasc, transfem, nonbinary, nonspecific in addtion to a content warning if applicable, after all a transmasc person clicking on transfem memes could make them dysphoric and vice versa, hence why flairs are mandatory on the Reddit one.

I very much agree with this, if only people in the Reddit version cared about this, many of the people I met there believed it was their duty to force people out who aren’t ready, either because they didn’t know better or didn’t care. Also Reddit unlike Lemmy has the flaw of showing fully maximized posts in the feed so the title thing doesn’t help, the bad stuff will hit you as you’re scrolling.
I saw the post and comments in question earlier and thought to myself that it was dumb. Having a unique title for posts helps find them again if you’re not in the habit of saving every single thing you come across, so I’ve always kinda hated the “every post needs this exact title” rule on various subreddits.
That said, I’m also not fond of titles that are 100% emojis.

I didn’t make the rule. it has existed since the original egg_irl back on reddit. Your post was reported by other members of this community for having broken the first rule of this community.
I am but a servant to the masses, and the masses demand this rule stay in place, as is and has always been the tradition of egg_irl.
