AI: The Somnium Files - nirvanA Initiative

wait...

(looks it up)

Yeah that one surprised me too. But it had several nominations already!

In that case, would a game like Theatrhythm Final Bar Line count?

It's only available for Switch and PS4 but it released just last month.

Oh dear, the snubs bracket is going to be stacked. I think only one of pj's votes gets in.

That should wrap everything up. I'm going to be introducing a new phase for seeding which will go up tonight.

I'm surprised that I'm the only person who nommed Devil May Cry V

Give it to FF7R I guess

While I wait for pj to respond to my DM before moving on, this is just kinda a peak at what we're dealing with for the seedings:

So only 4 games with cut and dry definite spots. Basically, I'll just allow people to give five votes to any of the other 60 games and those points will contribute to where they inevitably seed. Obviously, a game with 4 nominations will not be able to score higher than a 9-seed, but this should at least help with keeping the strengths consistent with the seeds, at least relative to nominations received. Will only last until Friday afternoon.

Fuck this gen is so huge and weirdly expansive that I forgot all about it.

Well, tazzy does plan on running a current gen contest at some point.

So that should give games like DMCV and DDLC another shot.

Are Hollow Knight and Shovel Knight in? What about Hades? Ive apparently missed the nomination cycle!

Both of those are clearly gen 8 games. DMCV came out in 2019!

i wonder if there will need to be a redux of gen 8 and 9 when they actually finish lol
