thank you

even after all those edits i still phrased that wrong so gj me. what i meant to say before was that my reasoning was like "there are legit good aspects to this but i have no idea if the rest of is actually your thing or not" basically and luckily they were.

thinking about things i probably would've actually nominated if i remembered, i probably would've had some drakengard1 song, some pso1 song, i'm confident there were rhythm game songs that escaped my mind at the time (they still have now), probably something from insert any cavegame here, and... maybe flixmix? that sounds vaguely near correct for me like 4 years ago. tbh i'm not really any closer to remembering what i couldn't remember then

so out of curiosity, what did you think of the remix of it from the "soundtrack" album?https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/3/5/5/AARWb-AADIhr.png

also yeah like, the reason it was wild to me it ended this high was because it was a song i found, like... i'd had a lot of thoughts about songs i'd like to nominate if you ever did a ranking before it started, but when it actually happened i was totally blanking, so i just started playing random albums i had downloaded for ideas instead of actually trying harder to remember the songs i'd actually wanted to pick for this (ultimately the only one i actually remembered was healthy unicorn girl, everything else was definitely not planned prior). not long into them (i wasn't overly impressed by the other stuff i was hearing but) it crossed my mind that if i did pick anything it'd probably need to have an existing upload in remotely acceptable quality, so i just randomly searched game osts for each of them and this came up in the process by chance. my reasoning was like like "this has electronic sounds in it that are probably mycroish and also i guess has odd time but it's also got some fairly basic chord progressions and maybe sounds too much like dbz bgm so *maybe* it'll do well but it'll probably be like a 6 or 7" so in picking it i was banking on this result but i def wasn't actually expecting it, especially with its status as an almost completely random song discovery in a very short search timeframe.

geez, kao. (And UF8.)

That's probably about the final order, too. Some folks with 1 song left will do some leapfrogging. Glacier probably hops up a bit. UF8 and hotdog switch spots. Anyone who cares enough to do actual match can determine more, but that's no fun.

Fun fact: without that red outlier song, my rating improves to about 96 in the end rather than 118. Okay, maybe a little math is fun.

actually have been looking at averages and i'll need luck to get out of 4th at this rate, top 2 for me is nearly out of reach i think

pseudo-negativity aside though i didn't expect to have my noms end up paying off this much... well, one of them i was able to surmise had to be this high since a few months ago given some prior remarks totally not involving said song about every murasaki song being an 8 save for one probably 9.9, but the other two really vastly exceeded my expectations. this probably means kao's done even better and won't have any of those 4 go out until the top 10 or something similarly insane but i'm happy considering how little time i spent deciding on noms for this. i even joked about the devicereign song like a couple of years ago, never expected it'd end this high legitimately

getting placements just short of a new tier is my specialty

this 2nd place is feeling a lot more like 4th currently. hoping the rest can make it to magenta, given the songs that have been coming up though i wouldn't be surprised if one or two more fall sooner than that

Uf8 loves to sit in a lounge chair that has a post-memphis-milano colour scheme while looking at the skyscraper window into the darkness and brightness of the fast moving urban night

if i had infinitely more money than i do this would surely be the case

I didn't spend much time on the computers at my school back in primary school, but I'm confident more than half of it was spent in 3D Pinball Space Cadet lol

... and most of the rest was spent on some edutainment games that had been installed on them. I remember one of them was like a single-player mario party clone with math minigames, I was super into that when I was young.

strongly agree with that last paragraph, it's a balance i love of conventionality and unpredictability in a way that it isn't apparent that it's both, making it as seamless and.. not, as you more or less want it to be. i like lounge. it's admittedly also a bit too prevalent in my noms overall in retrospect

the long awaited pizza of writeups

at this point i forget if/how i expressed my amusement at this song not coming up before now, but this was a very extreme pick purely based off some comment or two you'd made not long before opening up nominations i think about being quite into sample-based music or something like that (i forget the exact context but i do remember that it was also why i picked that other chroma song that hasn't come up yet). this mishmash of stock sounds in a clearly not-meant-to-be-taken-seriously form was nonetheless as serious a joke nom as i could muster as a result.

at least, for a set of songs i was able to think of in an admittedly probably too short timeframe since i still rushed my picks out in like half an hour

so in hindsight, not too surprised it lasted this long but glad it did. i listened to it myself even since nominating it more times than i care to admit
