you expected to go out very low, and weren't wrong. back in "the day" were were like ENEMIES but i think these days we're less opposed to each other. we won't vote particularly similarly but i wouldn't call us total opposites from each other, even in 2018 we were starting to see eye-to-eye at least sometimes. honestly the attitude of your noms was "right" but you just sorta got unlucky with stuff like, that gurumin song which was basically PERFECT except that one part i really didn't like (that you also didn't even like) that brought it down 200 slots, and stuff. i think if you took a similar approach but with different songs at another time, you'd wind up with a way higher placement and the darts just didnt hit quite right this time

guessing games and ranking topics get me thinking about what i do have in common with people, even those i think of as the least similar to me and i've pinpointed a few things with you. the biggest is definitely an attraction to percussive instrumentation. even the whole "banjo kazooie" clash it's like...i LOVE marimba/xylophone, i just dont like the way it's used in that game, and stuff (tho also i like that ost more than i used to; spoilers).

seeing you really excited about songs with tuned percussion, and as a result having your interest piqued at the same parts as me: that has been a neat realization because like that was always there, i just didn't realize it until recently. that gurumin song is actually a perfect example of that

oh and all the slow emotion vn songs that i didn't used to like are pretty great to me these days, so that's a thing too

also i started liking anime more. so there's that too haha. it's not just a mutual interest in 'world music' being recent, but even the tropes associated with that; melodic anime ops that sound like the anime composers we both like. but also the slower emotional new age-y stuff (a still world) I LOVE JOE HISAIASHI and all that. your anime guessing games were all-the-way-through stuff that exposed me to lots of fun new things i really liked! and these traits did show up in your noms

we're still definitely among more opposed tastes in this community, but your noms this year and just random other stuff sprinkled around shows me we have a lot more in common than we'd think at a glance! thanks for submitting what you did and i hope 2 see u around nexxt time i do something like this
