The subtle joy of making lists

Tradegood

deepspacefine Yeah, I like Zelda but I wouldn’t go out of my way to make sure I included it on a list. Link’s Awakening would probably get grandfathered in since it was a formative game for me, but apart from that I think the Zeldas are B+ to C- games that I would probably rank below stuff like Ring Fit Adventure on my personal list.

Except Cadence of Hyrule, that game ruled (but still probably not top 20)

Games I enjoy more than the average Zelda game:

Harvest Moon likes
Aerobiz & Aerobiz Supersonic
Marble Madness (& other marble games)
SimTower
Hatsune Miku / Persona Dancing Games
Cook, Serve, Delicious!
Densha de Go!
Puzzle Bobble
Mario Tennis
Simulatory olympics games that come out every 4 years (like Tokyo 2020 or London 2012)

Lists I think it would be cool if people made:

Games to play in the middle of the afternoon
Games that feel similar to preparing and drinking a cup of coffee
Games that feel like making lists
Games that don’t want to be games but are
Games that have been eaten to the point of extinction

Off the top of my head

Middle of the Afternoon: Panel de Pom
Preparing and Drinking a Cup of Coffee: Dragon Quest Builders
Making Lists: Pokemon
Don’t Want to Be a Game: Brain Age
Eaten to Extinction: any physical cart from 2004 and before 😤

captain Thank you!

Yeah I don’t get why people would call this list the worst. Maybe the safest or like least interesting but these are all common consensus picks…except for Sonic Adventure 2 which is the best inclusion on this list.

A powerfully boring list, which isn’t at all surprising, but its hardly worth being upset about.

Mnemogenic

I like seeing Portal 1 at the top spot. Even if it’s cowardly paired with Portal 2. Portal 1 is great, sure it might be the best game ever. Go for it.

EDIT: They sure had a whole lot of nothing to say about it though.

captain

the games themselves are whatever who cares but I would think the jury of experts would have had more to say

For real. It’s profoundly boring overall, but the Sonic Adventure 2 thing seems to almost suggest some taste. Tetris being 4, right below Super Mario Odyssey and above Bioshock, is also hilarious.

list of best games to include as #20 on a boring top 20 list

Tradegood

Bioshock? Uncharted? Skyrim? Ok now i’m mad they didn’t include zelda

Top 10 gamiest games.

kory this a great idea! My one suggestion: I mistakenly read “Barely scratched the surface” as “Bravely scratched the surface”, so you should change it to that lol

Split my list off so kory doesn’t keep getting notifications when I add to it!

Syzygy

Bravely defaulted the surface
