Diogenes is the protagonist of Getting Over It with Bennett Foddy.
Bio[edit | edit source]
Diogenes is a man who aims for the heavens. Unfortunately, his ascend is severely hindered by two cumulative factors: Firstly, he categorically refuses to leave the cauldron he is seated in. Secondly, his only means of locomotion is to drag and pull himself along by means of a rock climbing hammer. This hardly is pragmatical in itself, and only made worse by the fact Diogene's quest often requires him to scale near-vertical surfaces, only to make a single mistake and fall all the way back to the game's starting point again.
Aside from the inherent draw presented by the game's punishing difficulty level and borderline unfair design, its main popularity actually comes from watching a third party (i.e., assorted e-celebs and twitch thots) play it. And, even more specifically, from the moment when it all comes tumbling down and the streamer turns into a screeching spastic. This proves the old adage that people only watch gaming streams to a) be a simp for a glorified camgirl, or to b) bathe in the suffering of other people.
In 8chanmania[edit | edit source]
Diogenes only appeared in 8chanmania XIV, and lacking records mean nothing beyond him not winning a belt (but presumably falling out of the ring) is known.
