This list may have inspired me to try and do one of my own soon. I know I have a tendency to get too wordy (which also makes the prospect of starting the list more daunting in the first place), but I feel I could restrain myself at least until the top 10 or so.

67. Hades

Like, everything involving conversations with the various gods is a negative for me. I don't like any of the parts between runs. It feels like a checklist and I skip half of the dialogue out of apathy.

Plot question

For how long people have known about Samus being a Metroid? like, was it a common knowledge? I thought this is something new that was revealed in this game but it seems like it didn't surprise anyone

• The way villagers talk to you is pretty unsettling
• The way the towns look, kinda scares me for some reason
• It is more about puzzle solving, than combat
• Nighttime is scarier than daytime
• It has a bit of a survival horror aspect, since it is hard to heal
• The game structure has a lot of backtracking, like an early Resident Evil
• The mansions have surprise traps (the missing floors)
• It feels low budget
• It is bad

To me, Castlevania is horror-themed much more than it is horror.

I also agree with someone earlier on, who said the most annoying part of the game was a particular EMMI sequence. I'm assuming you're talking about the blue one, before you have the gravity suit, and you've got to slooowly make your way through some flooded areas. I was ready to throw my Switch against the wall...

Made great progress. Got to the three archives, finally finding a way past fire guy. That motherfucker. I discovered that they disappear when the dam breaks almost by accident (one was chasing me at the exact moment it broke). Is there a more elegant way of finding the solution to that that I'm missing?

1. Ruby Soho
2. Time Bomb

1. The 11th Hour (I once told someone this was my favorite song of all time, in middle school)
2. Journey to the End of the East Bay (If I wanted someone to like Rancid, I'd show them this song)
3. Old Friend (do I just like this because I live in Cleveland?)
4. Avenues & Alleyways (the final chorus has an extra harmonizing backing vocal that I love)
5. Daly City Train (when the bass kicks in at 0:20, feels so good)
6. Olympia WA. (tim introducing this song: "this is a song about new york... it's called Olympia WA!" so funny to me)
7. Roots Radicals (very fun to sing along, great bass)
8. The Wars End (very fun to sing along, the early tempo change is rad)
9. Junkie Man (it's all about that weird interlude with the poem around 2:00)
10. You Don't Care Nothin' (surprisingly unformulaic. I like the "about me, about me" part)
11. Listed M.I.A. (it's the 3 stomps before the chorus)
12. Lock, Step & Gone (maybe a little repetitive, but the bridge in the middle is good)
13. As Wicked ("hey grrl I'll be your friend but who's keeping score" I like this weird line)
14. Time Bomb (I'm sorry tim I'm pretty sick of this song, a little too repetitive, crazy catchy tho)
15. Maxwell Murder (I wish the chorus was better, and I kinda think this style of bass solo is a little cringe, even though I love bass in general)
16. Disorder and Disarray (a little forgettable, but the bars right before each chorus are cool)
17. Ruby Soho (amazing chorus, but the verses are really boring for me)
18. The Way I Feel (kinda forgettable and reminds me that the album is ending)
19. She's Automatic (kinda cringe, but not that bad. glad to see others also have it low)

I am finished with the dlc, and I loved it. I do agree, however, that the stealth sections were way too hard and dampered the otherwise exquisite experience slightly. I did actually beat the stealth part in the Cinder Isles with reduced frights off, which I was proud of, but I had to put reduced frights on for the one in Hidden Gorge, I just couldn't do it. Way too overtuned and difficult.
