My GOTY is a cross between Slay the Spire 2 and Fortune’s Weave. Both games have given me over 100 hours of enjoyment, and really build off their predecessors in interesting ways.

I really love the lore, characters, and emphasis on diversity in setting and design. The music is top notch and the gameplay is extremely fun and satisfying. I also appreciate the game from a technical standpoint, merging routes and having the ability to min/max (IF YOU WANT) gives a lot of freedom

I’ve been playing Roadhog for 10 years, and his rework his interesting. I see the vision behind it and have gotten into the hang of using his new abilities, but there is still a lot that needs to be ironed out in terms of animations/gamefeel.

I love how video game Ryu is characterized by discipline and self motivation, while movie Ryu hat to rely on the connections of his friends to not succumb to the Satsui No Hado. There is a heavily focus on Ryu and Ken’s brotherly bond, which echoes a lot of what I love about fighting games.

The Street Fighter is probably one of my favorite video game adaptations I have seen. I’ve never seen a movie simultaneously take the piss out of itself while being an earnest attempt at trying to capture all the ridiculous parts of the franchise I love. (Got some cool pins for free)

Beyond that though Street Fighter is such a fun time. So many scenes had me laughing. The musical motifs are also really great and the set/costumes are fantastic. I just felt so giddy watching it.

Whoever came up with the idea to have the flashbacks be animated deserves a raise. The brotherly bond between Ryu and Ken is at the heart of the movie and I’m so happy the movie leaned into it. My only criticism is that the movie is overtly sexual in really strange ways.

Epic “Programming is hard” Games Genuinely an unhinged thing to say as a software company

Mario suffers a lot from Superman syndrome where people think he is boring because he is a kind and wholesome character. There is no smug cynicism to his design or personality. He is a jolly blue collar worker who loves life. Mario is whimsy! Mario is joy! Mario is!

I think its kinda based Nintendo has never collaborated with Fortnite out of sheer stubborn with its IP. Its rare to see a company these days not fold at the sight of briefcases of cash. I’m not saying Nintendo isn’t greedy or deceitful, but still have that old school mentality, good or bad.

The fact that Mario, one of the most ubiquitous characters ever made, is an impossible dream collab for many is hilarious to me. The newest season of Fortnite feels extremely weird without him. Its like if you made a Justice League without Superman or Batman.

I seemed to have conflated my favorite games of all time with games that shaped me. This is my updated list.

7. A coming of age story that really impacted me as I had just started middle school. Also my first Zelda games. 8. Overwatch is the only one out of these I still actively play. It got me into PC gaming and FPS games in general. I love the lore, characters, and most of all the gameplay.

1. Literally the first game I ever played. One of the best 2D platformers ever made, easy to replay and iconic. 2. I love how surreal and dreamlike 64 is. Such an interesting way to use a 3D hub world, and its abstract level designs have never escaped me.
