    My top 10 games are all of Japanese origin, which really isn't surprising, but I see that the overall list on Favslist is more mixed. So my question for you guys is: Are your lists composed of Japanese games? American games? Are they more mixed in origin? Do you have a preference for any particular "style" and if so, what do you think defines that style for you?

      Editing … Mine are a total mix of origin, time, and genre. I seem to like a bit of everything. I have everything from Commodore Amiga management games to PS4 FPS's. And that's just my top 10, the full 100 is very varied. I would imagine the Yanks lists here are very Nintendo heavy because that's all they all seemed to have growing up whilst in Europe we got every console and home computer. Those were great days, after school you'd go play on your friends ZX Spectrum and the next day you'd play on somebody ele's Amstrad CPC then your Commodore 64 after that. One kid would have a Master system and another would have a NES. The cool kids would have a SNES or a Megadrive and the posh kid would have a Commodore Amiga.

      Editing … Origin wise my favs are mixed as my thought goes. For genre i am foccussed on strategy (mainly 4x /grand strategy subtype) and simulation (city builder mostly). Other genre should respresented more or less...

      Editing … In terms of developer origin mine are pretty mixed, but the top games are pretty solidly strategy, visual novel, or RPGs, with a few others mixed in, but with strategy games clearly being on top overall. Generally those are Western developers. Japanese developers show more when looking at RPGs and VNs (though there are Westerners there too for both of these) or specifically when looking at Nintendo, or sometimes Sega, Bandai-Namco, or Capcom, the latter two probably being my favorite Japanese developers just based on IPs. Square has some representation too. In terms of platform it's mostly 90s to present, which makes sense. Consoles are far more represented before the 2010s, where they fall off almost completely in favor of PC games, mostly due to me never getting modern consoles (before I recently got a Switch my most recent console was a Wii, which I didn't even get until 2020).

      Editing … I need to do some editing on mine, change some rankings up and down but Favslist is such a chore right now. I need a Gran Turismo game higher up the list for sure. I need either civilization, dune II or the settlers bumping right up, or maybe even Syndicate... my god it's just too hard to pick! And I'm cutting loads of other games to try getting certain genres represented more. I've decided I need a top 250, somebody tell the admins.

      Editing … I don't really care about genre representation. To me it's all about ranking integrity. If I can keep a consistent gaming list that lines up with sub lists (which I don't think I have perfectly right now) then that's ideal, where one thing is above one thing and below another thing no matter what list you look at or if you splice two lists together.

      Editing … In a perfect world I'd agree, but the short lists kind of force me into doing it. I realise that there are not many people like me, I've played approximately 50,000 games across every system almost. Do I really need yet another FPS in my list above something like Dune II that literally changed gaming and I spent years playing? This is the way "favourite" games wins instead of "best" We can bin an objectively better game for something else. If my lists were endless then I'd rank things a bit more objectively perhaps. But like I say, I'm probably the only one here and that will ever visit Favslist that has played so many games. Maybe one day we could get every list open to unlimited honourable mentions? For me it's not about scoring points, it's about seeing who I am by seeing my lists.

    I find Kelley Jones' artwork so hard to look at. His style really brings down the comics for me. Which is a shame, because I enjoy Doug Moench's writing. Oh well, I shall continue to persevere, as I am approaching the end of their run together (I have been slowly working my way through the comics starting with 'Year One'. It's been slow going, but I've made it through about a decade of comics so far and it's been great fun).

    Sang Karaoke, grew some onions, protected a tree from a sumo wrestler, got some knight armour from the job centre, beat up some homeless folk with a personal massager, and then took my bro to a movie. A half-hour snapshot of my experience with this game. I'm having a blast!

    I don't currently have any obsessions going on and hot damn is it liberating. I can't remember the last time I could just get up and decide what I wanted to do. Usually I am stuck consuming every last part of some franchise or other. I know it won't last and I'll inevitably get distracted by the shiny, but it's been about a week now and that's pretty cool. Imma be sad when this feeling ends and I end up 23 hours into a Youtube series about Kingdom Hearts again

    Welp, I scrolled through the 290-odd pages of the main feed that I missed since I was last on here. That seems to have satisfied whatever neurosis I am suffering. For someone who complains about not having time, I sure do spend a lot of it on pointless endeavours.
