MLG memes were sorta like the dying gasp of rage faces. And Harambe spearheaded the new era of memes we’re currently in.

I honestly liked MLG memes, tbh. Def weren’t my cup of tea, but they were cool for what they were.

Okay, I want some opinions on my 2020 "resolution". I have a litany of games I bought on recommendation that I either barely started or haven't touched, and my goal for the new year is to complete six of them.

For the most part, all of said games are JRPGs because I hate JRPGs and all my friends apparently love them. So I'm gonna try.

I'm open for suggestions to changes, but so far I've got:

  • Literally any Persona game (P4 Golden is what I'm starting with, but I own P5)
  • Bravely Default for @Gentlepanda
  • Tales of Symphonia
  • Xenoblade Chronicles or Xenoblade Chronicles 2
  • Dragon Quest 11 for @JDCabrera
  • Trails in the Sky or Trails of Cold Steel; I've got both on Vita and I don't even remember when or how I got them
I also own Octopath Traveler, Mario & Luigi Paper Jam, Secret of Mana (SNES), Magic Knight Rayearth (Saturn) Grandia II (Dreamcast but I don't own 1) and Xenosaga 1-3 on PS2. Probably others but I can't think of them off the top of my head.

Some great choices in there (well, maybe not Octopath).

If you're going to play Xenoblade Chronicles, I'd honestly recommend that you wait for XB:DE as your first experience with it. The game is rather ugly and the Switch port will hopefully add some much needed quality of life changes, not to mention cut content being restored.

Another new Pokemon, but this one is a bit different.

A Timid Charmander, nearly flawless, four Egg Moves, and it's in a Moon Ball.

The only thing that it doesn't have is Best in Defense and its HA, which is fine. Solar Power would of been nice though.

If that's the case I'll just replace it with something else. The goal is to try and finally work through my backlog of games, and the longest list by far is JRPGs because they're usually not my thing.

I have a Wii copy of XC1, and I was planning on playing that. If it doesn't hold up to modern standards, maybe I'll play a more retro game instead so I can appreciate its archaic design more. Like Magic Knight Rayearth, maybe.

Question for everyone.

What's the most important game that released this decade for you? Not necessarily "favorite" or "best". But like, the game that you wouldn't trade for any other because of the experience you had playing it.

I have an easy answer for that that I've talked about to death before, but I'm curious if anyone else here has a game like that in their life the last 10 years.

Journey. It completely re-shaped my perception of single player gaming experiences. Before that, I had cast them aside as less interesting/valid than multiplayer/PvP games. How wrong I was! Flash forward a few years later and I'm working on a single-player game as my job. Not sure I'd be doing that without having played Journey; very cool.

Seems you had quite the emotional journey.

Oneshot. The narrative was one of the most emotional, thoughtful, and suspenseful stories I've ever played. It was the first video game that has ever drawn me in in the way that it did, and the ending to this day still gets me feeling emotional. It's funny, it's heartbreaking, it's adorable, it's a gosh darn masterpiece.

...I gotta redo that list later tonight. No way I like those games more than Oneshot

Probably Smash 4. Now I'm so invested in the series, and if I hadn't started with it, I likely wouldn't be where I am now. Whether that's a good thing or not is still up for debate.

So I was playing Smash with a little girl whose family always comes over for new year's eve. Felt pretty good to guide someone,see them improve and look actually good at this game in comparison. But I just blew my mind because I just realised that the attacks I have always been doing with ease have been tilt attacks. Somehow my broken brain thought manual tilts were something else.

Wait this means I can consistently do inputs without a stick others might not. Now I need to rethink my tilt stick inputs...

o-o Holy crap . I saw some blood red skies in Mexico in news, but it was because of something regarding how light was affecting the skies or something...but is this one due to fires...? I mean, its cool looking, really, but, I hope the catastrophe ends...Take a lot of care! :(

Yup, it's the fires causing the sky to go red. Also every time I look up to the red ominous skies of Australia which reminds me of SCP-001 "When Day Breaks" seen here. (Both have red skies.)
