Topic | The Mount Rushmore of: 8th-Generation Video Games |
Bitto 06/22/25 7:34:33 PM #36 | Kinda confused by the generation parameters. This is the last day, but it only goes up to 2020? Switch is lumped in with Wii U? Oh well We're currently in the 9th generation and about to enter 10th generation. I'm not sure if Switch 2 is super late to 9th gen or super early to 10th gen, but it's looking more like the latter. --- https://i.imgur.com/9sOWQAf.jpeg |

Bitto 06/22/25 9:05:19 AM #1 | Rules 1. You may vote up to 4 entries that fit the prompt. 2. No alts. 3. No deleting or editing posts; though, editing posts shortly after you post is fine. 4. If you change your vote, clearly indicate that you are changing a previous vote. Same for adding or subtracting picks. 5. In general, if there are two picks that can be considered the same product (i.e. Sonic Adventure 2 and Sonic Adventure 2 Battle), I will combine them. 6. If a vote is vague, I will pick the first available choice that best matches the vote (i.e. "Mario" for Wii Games becomes Super Mario Galaxy). 7. I will post the parameters of each Rushmore topic. Other than that, feel free to vote however you like and based on any criteria that best fits the "Mount Rushmore" of that topic. 8. If a vote doesn't fit the topic, it will count as a blank vote. 9. You may nominate as much as you want and have an unlimited amount of seconds for established nominations. 10. Every Sunday, I'll post the schedule for next week. I will pick based on the number of nominations. Any ties will be determined by RNG.

Bitto 06/20/25 11:12:58 PM #49 | azuarc posted... Balatro is more approachable imo because the idea of working with a standard deck of cards and poker hands is very simple and easy to understand, and you don't really have enemies in the conventional sense that you have to battle against. Balatro, therefore, is less a matter of reacting to what the game throws at you, and more just dealing with the randomness on your end in terms of upgrading your deck and playing your hand. This is a good point. I played Balatro but bounced mostly off of it compared to Slay the Spire. To me, raising a high score is just harder to conceptualize than beat the enemies. Shame about Hyperspace Outlaw. I would have written for it but I haven't finished it yet. All I will say is that it's a must-play if you have any memory of 2000s-era forums at all. Which should be all of us. --- https://i.imgur.com/9sOWQAf.jpeg |

Topic | The Mount Rushmore of: 3rd-Generation Video Games |
Bitto 06/17/25 7:39:24 PM #46 | So from what I can tell, generations are mostly defined by the graphical prowess and grouping similar consoles of similar power together. So 3rd generation is typically 8-bit, 4th generation is 16-bit, 5th generation is 64-bit, etc. Consoles aren't always released in a neat order, so you get some yearly overlaps. There were 8-bit consoles being released after 16-bit and so forth. I should probably just list the consoles as opposed to this yearly stuff, so I'll do that. Mobile is where things get weird, because while Game Boy came out around the time of N64 and PS1, it's working on a different set of hardware capabilities altogether. I'll just do a bit of research and add it to where the consensus feels they land in their appropriate generation. --- https://i.imgur.com/9sOWQAf.jpeg |

Most of the discourse was around Bowser and if he really is the most appropriate choice for a dad or not. I'm on the "Nintendo doesn't typically touch fatherhood and they need a rep so they chose Bowser" side, but hey, they've been making a lot of those parental videos lately and they are well-made.

This period of time is typically defined from games released on consoles that came out between these years: 1976 to 1984. Ports are fine, but they should be based on consoles of the respective generation. Games released outside the timeframe are fine, as long as they're on the console of the respective generation. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_generation_of_video_game_consoles https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Second-generation_video_game_consoles https://vgsales.fandom.com/wiki/Second_generation_of_video_games https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/MediaNotes/TheGoldenAgeOfVideoGames --- https://i.imgur.com/9sOWQAf.jpeg |

Bitto 06/15/25 9:00:01 AM #1 | Rules 1. You may vote up to 4 entries that fit the prompt. 2. No alts. 3. No deleting or editing posts; though, editing posts shortly after you post is fine. 4. If you change your vote, clearly indicate that you are changing a previous vote. Same for adding or subtracting picks. 5. In general, if there are two picks that can be considered the same product (i.e. Sonic Adventure 2 and Sonic Adventure 2 Battle), I will combine them. 6. If a vote is vague, I will pick the first available choice that best matches the vote (i.e. "Mario" for Wii Games becomes Super Mario Galaxy). 7. I will post the parameters of each Rushmore topic. Other than that, feel free to vote however you like and based on any criteria that best fits the "Mount Rushmore" of that topic. 8. If a vote doesn't fit the topic, it will count as a blank vote. 9.

Dads can become dads at the beginning of a game, throughout the game, or at the end of the game. If a character can be a dad through optional content or different endings, they count as being a dad. https://www.watchmojo.com/articles/top-10-video-game-dads https://www.ranker.com/list/best-video-game-dads/cody-mello-klein https://www.gamespot.com/gallery/best-fathers-in-video-games/2900-5440/ https://www.cbr.com/best-video-game-dads/ https://screenrant.com/best-video-game-dads/ --- https://i.imgur.com/9sOWQAf.jpeg |

I would still count totamech's vote for Michelangelo since it's an individual turtle. Mega Mana's vote for a Super Sentai group will default to Kamen Rider for now, as it's an individual and also has a vote. --- https://i.imgur.com/9sOWQAf.jpeg |

I guess the DB world does have Great Saiyaman who could count though since he does dress up and act like a superhero though I will leave it to interpretation, but this will be the Mount Rushmore of Superheroes in the end. I forgot to mention it but youre welcome to include superheroes from universes where theyre more of a side character and more unusual. --- https://i.imgur.com/9sOWQAf.jpeg |
