It's nice to know having Ulti blocked is still a good idea since based on that summation he apparently thinks that both me and my soon-to-be-wife are worthless people for having met on a dating app.

I despise fishing minigames but I don't remember thinking this one's timing was that bad.

Strange, I came in here to say I love Sakuraba.

Also, Mega Man 6 is the best MM OST.

I probably have others, hmm.

Pretty sure it was Pokemon Crystal.

I just got engaged last month to a woman I met on Hinge so there's my success story.

I was on Bumble and OKCupid at the same time but Hinge was the only one that led to any matches at all, let alone a date.

The 3rd is also really, really awesome in its own right.

Oh cool, I'll keep up with this.

Yes, he's great.

Considering I come from the South and know a lot of people who love Nashville, that would definitely be my answer.

Cesspool of a city.

Abyss is my favorite game of all time so it's an easy vote for me.

The game is polarizing, even among fans of the series, but if it lands with people it tends to really land.

I don't trust people who don't answer Pokemon Trainer.

Malaki Branham ROTY though tbh

Mega Man 7 (SNES)
I, uh, did not really enjoy this one. Definitely my least favorite MM as of now.

Neither do the refs.

Football is such a stupid sport. There's like four different parts of that play where no one even knows the rules.

Well, they aren't trying to get better.

Yeah, but one first rounder doesn't seem like much when they're giving up Beasley, Conley, and Vanderbilt and also taking on the Westbrook contract.

I know the idea of Vanderbilt is kind of better than his actual production and maybe they can somehow convince some desperate team that Westbrook is actually a positive value now that the West is so stacked and end up getting something else for him in the next few hours, but right now it doesn't look like Ainge's best work.

Am I dumb or did Utah actually get the worst of that trade?

I like the next major arc more than most, but if I temper my love for that I would say Alabasta is the second best. Best arc in the series is the major arc after the next one.

I agree with all of this.

NieR: Automata (PS4)
Well... This game certainly leaves an impression, doesn't it? I feel like I don't see Automata talked about all that much anymore, but maybe that's just because I'm one of very few people that had any interest in it at all that hadn't already played it.

Anyway, I didn't really know what to expect coming in except that I was pretty sure it'd be memorable, and it definitely was that. I don't really feel qualified enough at this moment to speak on any of the big themes and emotions of the story and this topic probably isn't the place to do that anyway, but yeah - this is one that'll definitely stick with me for a long while. Certainly a top 20 game of all time for me, could be top 10 once I've had the chance to sit and think on it awhile but there's some stiff competition there.

Really wish I'd documented my playthrough with a topic here, because the game kept surprising me over and over with some of its gameplay ideas and wonderfully cinematic moments to the point that I feel like I've forgotten some of even the really cool ones.

All I can say is I'm glad I'm about to go on a very fun vacation for the next week because I sure wouldn't want to just get up for a boring, average day at work tomorrow.

Mega Man 6 (NES)
I imagine this is probably a fairly hot take - 6 has the best OST of any of the classic Mega Man games. Some of the cooler Robot Master designs in a while, too, overall. Very enjoyable showing for the Blue Bomber's last NES game.

2 >= 4 > 3 > 6 > 5 > 1.

Feel like I should play 9 and 10 while I'm still kind of in a rhythm but I don't know if I'm gonna.

Kakashi not in the top 20? For shame.

Mega Man 5 (NES)
Certainly not the peak of the series. Stages feel longer and more annoying despite not being all that tough and it feels like this is the point where the creativity in Robot Master design is beginning to wane a bit. That being said, these games have a pretty high floor and I'm still quite enjoying myself.

As far as the games with English releases go, the proper order is...

1. Luke
2. Yuri
3. Jude
4. Velvet
5. Lloyd
6. Milla
7. Reid
8. Stahn
9. Kor
10. Ludger
11. Alphen
12. Senel
13. Asbel
14. Cress
15. Sorey
16. Emil

So I think my only real big complaints are with Sorey and Jude's placements. Pretty solid results overall.

Hell yeah Smith.

KH1 and KH2 are both among my top ~20 all-time and I absolutely despise pretty much everything about the entire rest of the series with one or two mild exceptions. So that's a complicated question.

I would say I'm a fan of Disney, though.

Mega Man 4 (NES)
Either I'm finally getting a little better or this is the easiest of the first 4 MM games.

Think my ranking so far is 2 >= 4 > 3 > 1.

I can't really answer until I play Azure, but after just Zero I have a hard time thinking Bannings will surpass Irving.

I cannot sanction your buffoonery.

Also, while I'm sure it's blasphemy to like anything from The Dear Hunter's most recent album (Antimai), I'd also like to say I was briefly obsessed with Ring 7 - Industry:

No blasphemy at all - I like Antimai a lot. Not every song lands perfectly and it definitely doesn't compare to the Acts for me, but it was still easily my most-played album in 2022. Ring 8, Ring 7, Ring 6, Ring 2, and Ring 1 are all pretty awesome in my book.
