You could say the same about shooters since Halo and Ikaruga share no DNA or ancestry.
Yeah but we call those FPSes and shmups. We call Tetris and Portal puzzle games

Well, there are currently only three 1-loss G5 teams left: North Texas, James Madison, and San Diego State. I'm not sure how appealing any of those are (or how good their resumes are), even compared to Duke.
It's very easy for an American team to be ranked ahead of Duke even if Duke runs the table, but you need JMU or SDSU to also get there and JMU has an obviously inconvenient loss to Louisville and SDSU got their faces pounded in by the Cougs and that should just be disqualifying

Portal is a first-person puzzle game
This of course opens a whole new can of worms of what a "puzzle game" is because Tetris and Portal share no DNA or ancestry
Yeah I think it's a valid question too, but nobody has historically ever really made a habit of differentiating them so there isn't a word for it.

Paper Mario
I watched it earlier and he's like, so meh on Batman Returns but puts it above Castlevania 3 anyway???

Yeah, I'm not really sure why there's no update until monday, it SHOULD be all hands on deck but I guess there's some interruption over the weekend. But yeah all the people doing ballot counting will be doing it over the weekend.

We still get new ballots in about 4-5 days after election, so having all the votes counted right away just isn't possible. Mail takes time. Speeding up the process would cost a lot more money for no real benefit because the elections aren't certified for a while anyway.
Though the vote counts SHOULD continue through the weekend; I assume there must be someone who's not in though so they don't do a vote count update. I don't know exactly, when I worked elections I did work the weekend after the election but I don't know who does vote count updates

My understanding is they do actually have the ballots already,
Your understanding is incorrect. We are a mail-in balloting state and all votes need to be counted by hand. People are given time to fix their ballots if there are mistakes, too. It takes time, this is normal, the fucked up thing is people expecting immediate gratification the moment the polls close

It's a taboo word but some of these places DO actually need some type of election reform lol.
Not sure what you mean by this

Progressive challenger in the Seattle Mayor race is making extreme gains with an extremely drawn out mail voting count. From 5 points down to 1.8 with plenty left to count.

DDHQ called it yesterday for Harrell, but they took it down.
Oh shit, I was pretty certain it was in the bag for Harrell (who sucks ass btw, I was really disappointed by this)

Which three are Displates?
Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess
Uh... the Mario one is making me have some questions about where these came from

I always feel like this is a big B8 game, but when tazzy did his top 20 PC games of the 2010s list, it only got 49th place...
I think I didn't vote on this list unfortunately. maybe I did? I don't remember doing so

I said that Ohio State would be #1 because of Indiana's dogshit nonconference games, but Indiana does CURRENTLY have one more win so that might put them over the edge temporarily lol
PC/SNES: 4
NES: 1.5

The PC version is reasonable, for an edutainment game

Yep that article may as well cover me as well. First time in a decade I won't be voting Democrat.

Things for Jews in NY are a lot more uneasy than they were two decades ago, and I see the guy as a matchstick.
Why? What do you think he's going to do or cause to happen?

So cringe.

It's hard to believe these are supposed to be our actual leaders and not just dudes on 4chan.
The worst 4channer is still funnier than this

(but why the hell did it beat Wind Waker)

Is the bit not stale for Silksong because it's 2 years older I guess?
I think it's not really the same thing, it's not as iterative as Hades II is

That's not a knock on Hades II from me, mind you, I'm just looking at how the voters might view it
Yeah, the more I think about it, the more I think Hades II is the most in danger of not being nominated; I'm fairly confident in all the other five consensus picks but I think Hades II could slide out just because the bit is stale

And yeah I'd actually be really surprised if Indiana wasn't #1. They obviously belong there, and name recognition is the only thing keeping Ohio State there in the AP.
I'm pretty sure that the Texas non-conference game puts Ohio State at #1, even though Indiana has the best win, at Oregon; the fact that Indiana has three weak nonconference games will put them at #2 for now. For this reason I actually wouldn't be surprised if Texas A&M is 2 and Indiana is 3.
Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze
Train
Having reflected on it, I actually do think Hades II is the shakiest of the consensus picks. Out of all the games, it has to contend the most with being too similar to its predecessor and it's the least 'fresh' of any of the six imo. But I think it has enough prestige and good will to edge out Yotei. Blue Prince could be an interesting hail mary if you think the voters favor novelty which I think they do, a little bit, but I think it's too niche.
I think Blue Prince was always too niche to get the nod unless it was a weak year
That too
Tournament Fighters over Mega Man 4 lol

Is Deltarune 3+4 not eligible or something? Otherwise I would've expected someone to at least mention it atp lol
It's not
Clair Obscur doesn't even "look like an indie game" so it barely matters for the purposes of the indie conversation

Hades II and Silksong are both exactly what people think of when they think indie game, but I think they're both just too good to miss
Bane_Of_Despair posted...
Donkey Kong
Split Fiction
Death Stranding 2
Clair Obscur
Hades 2
Silksong

Something like that I imagine
Yeah this is what I think the six are pretty solidly. I could see Ghost of Yotei over SF or DS2 I guess. Maybe KCD2 but it just feels like it's outside. It's funny to have so many indie darlings here, especially both Silksong and Hades II, but I just don't see them getting left out; they've generated more conversation than most of the AAA games. I think SF and DS2 both make it because they just both come from really strong pedigrees for TGA.

The Mega Man Z series sucks; in my opinion, only Z2, Z3 and Z4 are only good at all. All of the X games are playable and I'd say are probably overall better.
You can't fool me, not even the most ardent fan of the X series thinks every X game is playable
The Mega Man X series sucks; in my opinion, only X, X2, and X4 are any good at all. All of the Zero games are playable and I'd say are probably overall better.
