Side bracket keeps getting some wonky trends, so I'm not comfortable running it anymore.

ADP is crucial, which stinks, since there's no visual indicator on how many iframes you have, at least that I can tell. I always just Google the softcap and stop there.

I never got very far in SotFS, since they mess with enemy placement in ways I despise, but I imagine it's better without the original as context. Base game is pretty alright, but the DLC is some of the best Souls content there is.

To give an idea of pacing, I am putting decent thought into writeups, and I don't move to other songs until I have a finished writeup. I usually listen to the song at least 3 times.

I am through 5 at the moment, and probably won't be doing more than 3-4 a day. I will probably also take breaks every now and then, so just be aware this could take a few months, but ideally not as bad as the VG ranking I recently did, where I legit thought about quitting it a few times. I am DETERMINED now.

Odd one to really try to describe. If it were just certain eras of film that may be easier but this isn't really so simple. Let's go with

Gone with the Wind
Casablanca
The Sound of Music
Parasite

Uhh, yeah, not sure if any of these are locks tbh, but I have a feeling this is gonna be a messy one. Maybe not though!

I'd probably sooner call Smash games Kirby spinoff games than Mario spinoff games (I wouldn't call them that either)

Mario Bros. is a spinoff of Donkey Kong

I played a little past the voided ending. I think it goes well past Outer Wilds and begins to dip into the territory of things like Fez and The Witness in how much tedium your expected to engage in. Even if you know what you're doing and are able to decipher the cryptic puzzles, it's a lot of repetition. It does do some pretty clever and impressive shit, but I'm not perceptive enough to figure the stuff out on my own, and doing the same puzzles multiple times grates on me too much.

I'll hope some YouTuber does a deep dive on the story. The videos I've found so far aren't very good.

Okay I just found out the Burzum dude is a neo nazi so, if possible at this point, please drop that and replace with

Yeah people are still able to use their nominations. I mainly just don't want switches happening at this point since I've started the listening process. Probably gonna allow people to nominate new stuff until this dies or I finish. Likely the former.

Green Hill Zone
Chemical Plant Zone
Live and Learn
A Ghost's Pumpkin Soup

Tricky one but I think this is appropriate without looking at other votes. Open to changing a couple of these

Imagine trying to solve future problems, and being unable to discuss the reasons. Like, why did this killing happen? Well, we don't know. It may have been a mental health issue, or an environmental trigger, or something of that effect, but we weren't allowed to study or talk about the person that caused it. Stunting knowledge and discussion. Doomed to repeat history.

Bruh, this is a topic series on figurative mount rushmores of various media properties.
