a very specific audience

Would a tower defense/dating sim originally named "Woah! I Got Sent To Another World Where We're All Rats And Now I Have To Date Them!" count as a very specific audience? If yes:

+ Woah! Rats! (PC)

If no: I'll get back to you tomorrow with a game that fits a more typical definition of shovelware.

oh I have happened to notice for a while you forgot to list the character for some of my character theme noms according to your sheet! I think just the ones in post 94

Ah, thank you. I'll make a note to fix that before the ranking starts--tomorrow will be a bit busy, so it may be bit a bit.

(Also forgive the switching accounts. I'm only logged in as Luce on the tablet I work on, in order to avoid accidentally using the wrong account at VGMC and messing up the spreadsheet.)

Actually, why not? I was too lazy to bother nominating it myself, but I suppose I can do this. Hopefully this all posts correctly (on phone and it's been having some weird formatting errors, so deepest apologies if I botch something this simple.)

This is what it sounds like with vocals, so if it trips anyone's trigger let me know.

I'd be willing to ditch "Fire Fire!!" (an early day one nom that's unlikely to go anywhere) to back this.

Last three Supports, including one that's already abandoned but I feel like burning a support on anyway. Will drop some things later if an irresistible new nomination pops up that I must support, but will otherwise be sticking with any hopeless causes.

+ Arknights | Grown-up's Paradise | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sZ1OD0cL6Qw

G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero.

Run & Gun perfection, possibly the only example in the genre that I actually enjoy. Good amount of playable characters, a few different types of stages for variety, pilotable vehicles, and I even enjoy unlocking the new difficulties which change things up just enough to make the repeat playthroughs interesting.

One upgrade to Double, one Support that I'm instantly doubling for... some reason. I suddenly have the song stuck in my head, so why not see what happens?

+ Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne | Late Goodbye | https://youtu.be/kdonCg8IjW4
++ Sonic CD | Sonic ~ You Can Do Anything | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7fzMxxyklTw

Space Lion: I love this song enough that I listened to the entire album just so I could give it first place. I kinda hoped to find something on its level on this soundtrack, but alas, this song is *way* beyond anything else here. I'm not sure any other album we've covered has such a massive gap between first & second place.

Tank!: Eh. I've honestly never been a fan of this song and kinda hate the shorter intro version of the track. I blame Super Robot Wars T; whenever any of your characters attacks or gets attacked, their anime's theme will play. So if you use Spike, you're going to hear "Tank!" whenever he does anything. And since he's a pretty decent character--very evasive, decent damage, and you get extra money for each enemy he shoots down--you'll probably hear the song hundreds of times per playthrough. After three trips through that game, my distaste for the song has turned to hatred.

BUT this extended version isn't all that bad. There are enough new moments that it feels different & the instruments are much clearer and high quality than the game's rendition. I still don't like it--and the fact that it's so high up on my list should tell you how I feel about the album as a whole--but... this song is pretty okay.

I've been on a huge Ayreon kick recently. Arjen Lucassen writes these rock/metal operas, then gets his friends to perform them. If you ever get the chance, listen to The Human Equation.

I think this album may be a little too on the nose, as it were. After a day of talking to myself and the representations of my feelings, I take a break to try listening to something different... which has someone talking to themself and representations of their feelings.

Like, I not mad at it, but this is feeling like meta commentary on my existence and giving me a headache. I'll finish listening to it some other day because this is bending my mind in ways that... aren't exactly painful, but feels like something that I shouldn't be approaching at this exact moment. It's just weird; it's somehow so incredibly relevant that I'm a bit scared of it, like it might contain some deep personal relevations that I'm not prepared to face. But it's also not even remotely similar, like none of his personifications have animal traits or names related to pop culture

[Fluttershy=My Little Pony

Raetsel=Phi-Brain

Luce=Tecnically short for Luceid from Wild ARMs, though I generally distance myself from the association these days.

...Though this raises further questions about certain aspects that don't seem to have a direct pop culture connection.]

So, part way through the third song and I seem to be more broken than usual. Which is probably good? But weird. And I think I'm just gonna set this album aside for a while.

In lighter topics, I never really thought about his speaking voice. That's pretty neat!

Okay, so if you want to submit lists for top 10s in the following:

PC (1980s & Prior) [Just including all the computer games in one]
Arcade (70s & 80s)
Atari 2600
Sega Master System

You can either PM me through GameFAQs or through Discord to roboquote using this format:

+3
+2
+2
+1
+1

Same rules apply. These will be posted as bonuses to the NES list.

I don't think I know enough really early computer games, but I'll do my best to get the other lists sent in when I get a chance.

Cher song. Not my favorite song of hers, but memorable enough.

One more support before the pause:

+ Dodonpachi: Daifukkatsu Black Label | INTERCEPTION - Town in Upheaval (Stage1) | https://youtu.be/h6lkM48eR90?si=sGGDgcWXEoYyUhiz

No, extra songs don't have any really odd restrictions like that. Also, technically Charlie's song works as a character theme, so you already met the "one character song minimum" requirement even if I wanted to enforce it.

Yeah, up to five more songs. Part of me would like to offer the full 15 to everyone, but the song list would balloon wildly out of control if everyone took me up on the offer... so 5 more feels like a good compromise; or at least a "yeah, if I aim for 10 songs a day, that would be up to two nominators worth of extra songs per day... that sounds reasonable" compromise.

I'd really like to switch accounts for this, but I have things that I have to do under this account on other boards and I'll just mess things up if I try to get a "keep switching accounts for each topic" thing going. Ah well.

Probably not. I don't use Discord and I don't do well in real time chatting environments; I need space to keep editing and deleting posts to feel comfortable. I could probably adjust eventually, but I likely won't even try.
