Shoutout to Timburr for being one of the few unevolved Pokemon who makes me think "this is a solid, respectable design" despite not ever making any of my "favorite Pokemon" lists. It's just overall good.

Second group is the worst group we've had yet.

Tag for later

Counting romhack/homebrew stuff, Celeste Mario's Zap & Dash has some pretty advanced mechanics.

Looks pretty but that framerate chugs when more than two enemies are on screen. It is in no way a technical success.

Well mainly in the "graphics" category. The topic didn't specify which technology.

Kirby's Adventure
Gimmick
Bio Force Ape if you want to count that

The top ~5 will then be covered.

What does this mean? The top 5 will be used for the next 5 weeks? Or am I reading it wrong?

Cumulatively the worst day so far.

Would I be allowed to register my alt @Dedf1sh as an authorized voter for me? It would allow me to vote from my phone while I'm at work. It's fine if not, I'll just get into the habit of voting nightly after I get home.

Shadow of a Dream reminds me a lot of Undertale final battle music. Just hits a lot of the same vibes.

Not in terms of composition but by "TOTALLY attempting to be the kind of a badass song that might be suitable for a similar purpose".

Charmander

Sudden Depth - The story mode map themes are unlike any music used in the series previously, and this is what helps make the mode feel more unique even though the gameplay isn't really that different. The Youtube uploads with the transitions between the phases help enhance this too, because I actually found it annoying that the music upgrades in the game are permanent; once you unlock the new phases you're stuck with it forever. Unfortunately, this isn't really something that I'd listen to for a long time (not that I haven't done it on occasion). If I'm listening to S3 music while I'm not playing the game, it's usually gonna be level themes or battle themes. For me the distinctive thing about Sudden Depth is that echoey sound in the beginning that reminds me of Woodfall Temple from Majora's Mask, not sure what it actually is. Phase 4 is my least favorite one (which again is why I don't like this song ingame).

I posted this topic too late to catch the fad wave, but I am willing to keep going if anyone else bothers clicking this.

Alright I guess I'll keep the spoiler tags for the time being.

j3sting - Gives off the signature "weird" vibe that most of Side Order has going for it. Due to the type of level that it plays in, it's not as "dark" as some of the other themes. Not that I've listened to Side Order that much yet to be able to form strong opinions (given that it's so recent), but this one seems to be a bit less memorable than some other ones which have already entered my head at times.

#47 onward - On Feb 24, I got on my computer before work and surprisingly saw Alice Peralta streaming (she's usually not on that late, as it was after midnight in Japan). I clicked the stream and she was literally on the final boss (specifically the part with the pulsing heart beat before starting the final phase). So I got to see her clear the game and watch the credits. And that led to an incredibly touching scene where she was singing along to this song while wiping tears of happiness from her eyes. Obviously she knew the song, since she literally sang it, but this was her first time being able to see it in context of the game as well as sharing it publicly with hundreds of people for the first time. Due to this whole thing, this song is now permanently associated with that memory in my mind. Every time I hear this song I will always think about that moment.

The list:

1 nom per user. I will attempt to sort them into an ordered list (no numerical ratings). Songs do not have to be from 2024. Base game and expansion pass are both allowed. Disclaimer: Side Order spoilers may potentially be posted.

The story mode in the base game is barely even a game. It's like the obligatory "throw in the bare minimum 1P content to satisfy demands because people don't like buying multiplayer-only games even if that's the only mode that they ever play". Octo Expansion is an actual game.

"ya go my ____" also needs a mention.

Consider this a vote now (it was only a suggestion before).

5 minutes, everyone

Holy shit. I swear I've been in so many situations where I wanted to reference this but I held back because I was sure that no one in the group would get it. Probably the best recurring joke in the entire show.

I remember liking Danny back in the day. And I remember that he was one of the most common guests on Figure It Out, which made me happy at the time because I liked him from All That. But looking back now I can't remember a single thing that he actually did on All That. I would need to look at a list of skits/characters to see what roles he played.

The primary usage of the weapon should be to deal damage, so no Hylian Shield or anything like that

Oh good, so we can still nominate a Paladin's shield from Diablo 2.

I'd like to nominate "The Twilight Zone episodes". This is a topic that I've actually been thinking about posting for a while, but I realized that it fits well with this recent Rushmore trend.
