Okay, this is my 🧵 for the top 40 Most Influential Games of my life.
These are the 40 games I grew up with, and made the biggest impact on me, one way or another. (not necessarily at all my favorites, or anything)
Which ones have you played and/or like?

We just finished watching Pluto: Urasawa ⨯ Tezuka.
Goes immediately to my all-time anime top 5. I was promised good sci-fi, but I didn't expect also a compelling detective story. Also got me thinking about humanity, huh..
I can't remember anymore who recommended it, but thanks.

My short review of Mega Man Legends (1997):
An almost full year before the release of the critically acclaimed Ocarina of Time, "Rockman DASH" released in Japan.
MegaMan Legends impresses with a fine balancing act of dungeon crawling, as well as charming overworld exploration. bckl.gg/pVQA

Words to live by.
Guillermo del Toro on wealth: "a wealthy man is a man who has enough, not a man that needs more. If you have enough to invite someone for a beer? You're rich. If you have a yacht, planes, islands, and you still need more? You're not rich."

I really hope I get a chance to order the whole backlog.
[lock-on] Vol. 006 has shipped! 📖
An astonishing 558 page of world-class written content, original artwork, and more.
Compared to 001, this is a truly gargantuan issue.
Work is already underway on future volumes. Thanks for supporting [lock-on] and Lost In Cult! 🙏

An insightful attention to how -- evidently -- the blue hit flash seems to have shifted into something more akin a parry, rather than the side-turned hit spark VF players are accustomed to.
I enjoy the side-steps and side-turners. I hope that rotational game is still all there.

Raced to get this done ASAP: an EXHAUSTIVE breakdown of the one minute of new #virtuafighter footage we were blessed with at Evo. Beautiful game even via the 1080p blurry Youtube rip. Forty seconds action, 2500 words, you know how it is with me.

Utter disbelief in how these corporations can have even a speck of respect for their own medium.
This is genuinely stupid
Like, this is the kind of stuff that people would insist Nintendo would do
Except it's real, and done by someone else
