Nothing here!


Getting Over It with Bennett Foddy
Getting Over It with Bennett Foddy
I've never finished this, and I don't know if I ever will. It's kind of a shitpost game just meant to upset people who get mad at stuff like this, but there's something about it. The execution here is just kind of flawless. I think of this as a weirdly perfect game.

Minecraft
Minecraft
there's so much I hate about this game. there's so much I'd change in a heartbeat if I could. I have so little respect for the current developers of the game, and so little respect for the original developer for a different reason. but, at the end of the day, those moments I cherish in this game are pretty amazing.

Universal Paperclips
Universal Paperclips
a genre that's sucked too much time out of my ADHD ass. a take on the genre that has something to say. it's an important one.

34

Steins;Gate
Steins;Gate
not a game. there's no gameplay in this. it's a book, and I haven't done a lot of reading in my life. for a time I considered it one of my favorites, but as time has gone on, I've come to think of it differently. Still great, still here, not as fond as I used to be.

33

Pokémon Red Version
Pokémon Red Version
my relationship with the pokemon series has soured so much over the years. i used to consider games like Pokemon Platinum, Heartgold, Black & White 1 & 2 to be among my favourites, but they just aren't anymore. Red really isn't either, but there's a fondness I have for the idea of Pokemon that must be represented, and Gen 1 is very special to me in all the ways that it is.

Elden Ring
Elden Ring
a game with more flaws and nitpicks than I can count, but a game that's ultimately very awesome

it's been so long since I played any of these, but I know I considered them among my favourites at one point.

Dragon Quest IX: Sentinels of the Starry Skies
Dragon Quest IX: Sentinels of the Starry Skies
almost certainly not the best dragon quest game. in fact, although i haven't finished it, I consider 11 to be better. but it's the first I played and the first I loved.

Cave Story
Cave Story
one of few games I've played over and over. i can feel the developer talking to me with every step in this game. it tells a story like no other.

Dark Souls: Remastered
Dark Souls: Remastered
I am a more whole person having played this! just the best for so many reasons. it's riddled with holes and flaws and terrible parts, but none of that makes me like it less. the Souls series peaked here.
