278 songs were nominated by 39 different "board=8" users. these pieces of music were nominated with the intent for me to listen to them and RNAK them...so I have done that now!
note 1: this selection was INSANELY good, WOW. i could tell almost everyone tried to pick stuff that they thought I would like. KEEP THIS IN MIND Because this makes stuff that in a normal selection of random vgm would be like "in the top 30" or whatever literally in the 100s here. On a typical random selection of vgm you'd get on here the threshold for "I like this" would not start anywhere near this far down the list. So Thank You Everyone and don't be sad if you get too low.....even the very lowest ranked stuff I thought was worth my time to listen to!!
note 3: if you are not someone here who knows me already, expect these placements to be strange. my taste in music is known for being pretty weird here so these rankings are pretty far off from anything i expect anyone else to agree with. ALSO my write-ups tend to be overly detailed/technical just because that is how i think. and i tend to just stream of consciousness ramble into nonsense nonseqtuitor zone because i think it is fun. so if you're not already expecting this...expect some insanely long writeups that are basically impossible to read for a lot of this
note 5: the spreadsheet has TIERS on it shown beforehand. which are just...relative indicators of how much I like it so here is a rundown
MAGENTA TIER: 1-43 - contenders for favorite vgm of all time in some way, the kind of stuff I'd cite as like "this is my favorite song from [soundtrack I like]". like if someone asked me "what are some of your favorite video game songs" or wanted a good example of my taste in music I might pick from any of these ones ("9.0 - 9.9" as far as my typical rating scale descriptions go)
PURPLE TIER: 44-112 - I LOVE these, I'd put these on a CD mix or personal playlist or at least would go out of my way to listen to these whenever. ("8.0 - 8.9")
BLUE TIER: 113-189 - I actively LIKE these. I would not necessarily put them on a cd/playlist or go out of my way to listen to them, but if they came on some "video game music" radio or what ever i'd be like "aw yeah cool THAT song" or something. ("7.0 - 7.9")
GREEN TIER: 190-245 - I get some level of enjoyment out of these! I wouldn't say they're songs I particularly like, but I at least get something out of it and think cool stuff happens in them or something ("6.0 - 6.9")
YELLOW TIER: 246-262 - I don't mind listening to them, but I don't get enjoyment out of listening to them either. ("5.0 - 5.9")
ORANGE TIER: 263-273 - I would rather be not be listening to music than listening to these. Dislike enough to always want them to end and to turn them off, but there's still things here and there to redeem them that I do enjoy. ("4.0 - 4.9")
RED TIER: 274-278 - I really dislike listening to these and there's very little redeeming about them. or if there is "something redeeming about them" it doesn't make up for whatever i hate about it anyways ("0.0 - 3.9")
Some notes:
*starting with this topic I am going to @ people as their noms come up, since that seems to be the norm and it was weird that i wasn't doing it in the first place / i think some of the people following this topic probably forgot about it.
*kaonashi1 is still yet to show up, so isn't listed on the avg ranking in this first post yet.
*I'll keep topic #2 open/bumped until it hits 500 so people can migrate to this one. at the time of typing that topic isn't listed in zyx's archive yet but hopefully is soon!
*I originally made it my goal to finish this up before VGMC started, I probably won't hit that, but we'll see what happens!!
