Tales games are about hanging out with cool animes and Berseria has the best cast and constantly gives you interesting and varied hangout moments. It also plays a trick where your actions can be seen as heroic or villainous depending on which perspective you take, and it's really impressive that it managed this while still having forward momentum. Good game

Same, but honestly these best of the decade lists also show how out of the loop I am with arts and media. For example I'm currently playing through Fallout 2 (1998) and on the fourth season of King of the Hill (1999-2007). I don't regret it as it's fun to go back to old things that are out of the zeitgeist and see that they're good too, still.

I don't really know where to get introduced to good contemporary stuff in a way that doesn't bore or revolt me. Fannish hype of social media is a turn off, like I absolutely don't want to know anything Star Wars related unless Hbomberguy lands a video defending the prequels. I don't want to know about what MCU or Disney+ means for diversity/contemporary politics/whatever, not as a blanket dismissal of a topic, but I don't need to know about it. Criticism is an industry and has long been one, but now I can't be arsed to consume it.

I mostly post to unburden my mind of the things it's been bothered by, so let just this be the occasion to say out loud that I will ignore all podcast, streaming and TV recommendations next year and clear my to be read and watch later lists as well. I'll cultivate my Library of Stuff (because the decade taught me that physical media is occasionally very good) instead and go out to events more.

I respect sequels that do that.

i played tales of berseria not so long ago and it honestly seemed pretty standard to me. i dont understand why people like it so much

picross 3d is cool but it really came into its own in round 2

did picross 3d win last decade's best game?

I can't remember what I ate for lunch I don't know when the fuck anything was released

it's actually dawngate, but nice list

FUCK I thought Rhythm Heaven Fever was in the 00s, replace Machinarium with that. Sorry Amanita

Yeah I was interested in the 0.5 A press phenomenon in general rather than this one video but thank you, this was helpful.

i retract any implication that it isn't still the shit

the video is part of a long series of videos documenting how to beat mario 64 without pressing a, as part of the 'a button challenge'

it 1. involved hilariously in-depth convoluted exploits to be possible ("but before we get to that we have to talk about parallel universes") 2. is kinda fun to see these incredibly specific, incredibly passionate subcultures 3. the video itself is weirdly fun to watch, the guy does a great job making it weirdly interesting

it absolutely still is the shit

I really don't get what the point was, is it the challenge or just that it's kinda stupid?

"""""""""""

ha super cool

pannenkoek2012 is doing a TAS competition so I've been thinking about this

considering it's embedded in the cultural consciousness still, I'd argue it's still the shit.

yes yes yes yes yes I love this kind of AI shit

yeah that's kind of the final word in the article too lol

every riot story i see im like "this seems good but the man who farts on people is still there, isnt he"

its cool to me that people are sleeping at the office so that they can sell computer peripherals with leds on them for gamers. god is so good.

truly blessed

i know it took me five days to come up with this quip but thank goodness it ends so quickly
