Here's my top 10 games, or games to know me by.
Final Fantasy VI (I like the whole series)
CV SOTN
Skyrim
Mario World
Secret of Mana
Super Metroid
Mass Effect 2
Chrono Trigger/Cross
Sonic 2
Borderlands 2
First few stay the same, the others can alternate and change sometimes.

Not that I'm really feeling the need to fuel capitalism at the moment but boy do Black Friday deals kind of suck now. It used to be like "everything is 90% off and you get a free house" and now it's like "shipping is 5% off!"

Okay okay. I have another. Early title screen images of Eternal Champions for the Genesis/MD showed fighters not in the game. The final title screen removed them. Eventually they did show up in the Sega CD followup.
i was going through my X archives and found this by @superpodsaga.com, which I qrt'd at some point years ago
so, let me bring the question back: what is the most useless piece of video game knowledge you know?

Sega was making a game called B Bomb (Butt Bomb?) meant for the Genesis that was pictured in EGM back in the early 90s that never saw a release.

Watched Inglorious Bastards for the first time, or as I like to call it, "people poorly lying to people that can tell if you're lying very easily."

Between June of 1991 and October of 1994 Sega released 5 mainline, 16-bit Sonic sidescrollers and they were all good and their impact is felt to this day. There was also "spin"offs and Game Gear games. But hey I love this 20 year wait for another Elder Scroll.

So when Amazon ships something in a shipping box, they add padding. When they ship something in one of their ridiculous giant envelopes, they put no padding. I guess it's good that there are free returns.

Can we get back to Metroidvanias being about epxloring and finding new ways to unlock new areas instead of just converting them into soulslike games? That'd be cool IMO.

Being an adult means waking up with motivation to do dozens of things but the world forcing you to do none of those things and then calling you out as lazy when you aren't excited about it.

Here is a simple reason I prefer Playstation this generation- if I don't play my PS5 for a month, and turn it on, it might have an update but that's it. The Xbox X, on the other hand, doesn't trust who I am and forces me through a 45 step verification process that requires multiple devices.

Anyone else playing Lumines Arise and finding the missions to be... like incredibly difficult? Like they didn't test them with anyone but the people who designed them? Or maybe the Lumines format doesn't work well for challenges like this?
Or am I just terrible?

As a toy collector I've had QC issues here and there, but nothing like this year. I'm sure for reasons apparent that companies are tightening their belts by laying off workers and using cheaper methods to make things. I have 6 figures from different companies currently waiting on replacement parts.

Retro game thought: Making Final Fight a Sega CD game was a big mistake. Sega could have made a 16-meg Genesis/MD game with all the levels, all 3 characters, and two player co-op to one-up the SNES version.

I had fun watching the first Mario movie, but my daughter lighting up when Mario gets his cat power up, among other parts, made it a 10/10. Now she is lighting up to see Rosalina. Look, internet, you can't keep using the same tired, miserably critical parameters to judge everything.

Well, Lumines Arise is fun and addicting like its predecessors. I am a little disappointed with the music, having really liked what they use in the trailer. The game starts with that but there isn't much past that with a similar sound.

It's hard to trust my precious "Metroidvania" genre anymore. It seems like all the devs working on them just want to overly infuse souls like mechanics because that's the hot thing to do right now. I just want exploration with fun combat and good soundtracks.

For all those that say going all digital and stuff like game key cards are inevitable, well I will say this: we are all going to die. It's inevitable. I'm not going to do anything to encourage that or expedite the process.

I always see little Lego guys like that that I want but the catch is you have to buy the $400 set that I have no room for.

You can say you "rolled credits" on any game, but with Once Upon a katamari, you absolutely mean it.

Questionable game design decision #56: One island for Animal Crossing New Horizon PER SWITCH! I never liked when a game only offers one save per account, but one per CONSOLE? Is this secretly why the Switch sold so many?

As a kid I played a lot of co-op Genesis/MD games with friends and siblings, but the one we kept going back to was Toejam & Earl. Why? The randomized stages mode. If they could have added something like that to SoR2, Golden Axe, or even a Sonic game, I would have never stopped playing them.

AAA studios often think a game soundtrack should emulate movies and I couldn't disagree more. Maybe because I grew up with a lot of Japanese games, but I prefer those stronger melodies that keep a game interesting for dozens of hours. I don't just want non descript string instruments here and there.

A couple hours into Trails of the Sky 1st Chapter. So far this is basically the story:
Estelle: I'm trying my best!
Everyone: Estelle you're absolute shite at everything.
Every NPC: Here is a tutorial.
Game menu: Here is that same tutorial again. And Estelle stop being dumb.
