The boogles-style of deckbuilding is just the worst. Hexproof is a huge feel-bad when you're on the other side of the table from someone voltronning up.

I'm wondering if maybe you're putting too much work into the story writeup. This isn't primarily a lore recap, so beyond hitting on some points being good or being bad it doesn't do that much for the ranking of the blocks.

Of course, the story recap is cool, but maybe it deserves it's own topic.

my problem with the "sacrifice Arcadia Bay"-ending is it just doesn't work.

the true antagonist of the game is the universe. fact is, the universe hates Chloe and insists that she must be dead at a certain point. If she's not, then things will happen that will kill her. an early example of this was when she suddenly became stuck in front of a moving train. The tornado is just another expression of this. My problem with the ending is that there's no reason to believe this will stop with the tornado. It's much more likely to keep on escalating. in my headcanon, the timeline that follows after the tornado is that Max has to use her timelord powers to the fullest to prevent more and more catastrophes from killing Chloe, until the universe finally throws something her way that she simply can't handle. like a "wipe out dinosaurs"-tier meteor or something of that magnitude.

another reason why the Chloe-ending simply doesn't work is that it involves Max flat out ignoring the most important and sincere plea Chloe has ever made. Chloe begs Max to save the city, by ignoring this, Max shows that she doesn't care about Chloe's agency and instead chooses to be selfish. Max is infinitely more powerful than Chloe and fully capable of bending both her and events to her will, twisting their relationship into a real nasty shape. Chloe is also going to live with the mother of all Survivor's guilts.

how about dowager empress Cixi? she's not well known in the west at all, but I'm betting she's in all the historybooks in China and most of it's neighboring countries, and that's a whole lot of fame right there.

Tetris the Grand Master 2. I've started it thousands of times, and only truly beaten it maybe 20 times, maybe like 50 if you count getting to 999 but failing the credit roll.

excluding that, during the course of speedrunning Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake I must've started hundreds of games and discarded maybe half.

it would appear I'm quite alone in finding #1 to be my favorite. It's just so much more reminiscent of film noir than the rest, and that's a guilty pleasure of mine.

I completed Master Mode of Tetris: The Grand Master 2: The Absolute PLUS (TAP) and survived the credit roll. Didn't get the GM title though, only reached S9, and that's not likely to change anytime soon. I expect to have to train for literally years to make that jump.
