Super Mario 64 is hugely important and has a ton of impact even to today, but the actual game is a little too rough around the edges for me to put it in the top spot like this. I loved it as a kid, but I really struggled to return to it a couple years back when the Super Mario 3D All-Stars pack came out (especially…

Super Mario World is just perfect. It’s the ultimate distillation of everything the SMB series brought to video gaming. The level designs are inspired and endlessly inventive. The movement is intuitive, but very deep (you can do SO MUCH with the cape!) The character designs are filled with personality. There are…

I’d argue that Mario Kart 8, namely the Deluxe version, is damn near perfect. It’s accessible, great for both newcomers or experienced players, controls well, runs fantastic, etc. For a game initially released in 2014 it holds up today and was still getting regular content updates through last year.

Super Mario Bros. 3 will always be my favorite. The amount of secrets hidden in each masterfully crafted level is a standard which few games ever held up to. It’s why to this day I often check every corner of the map of whatever game I’m playing and am often left disappointed.

Pretty sure FF9 is the best

“The best Final Fantasy is the one that makes you fall in love with the series" may be one of the truest statements typed. 

FF8 is the best and underrated as hell.

I wrote Squall off as an annoying edge lord when I first played this game as a teenager. Like he was someone’s idea of a stereotypical teenager. Going back to replay it as an adult, I was shocked that not only was the writing between Squall and Rinoa actually good, but Squall himself was perfectly understandable and…

how old is your age? i’m 38 and i think this looks like a blast. 

Having fun with friends escapes you? There’s literally nothing bizarre or unique to a particular generation about this behavior. Touch grass.

ASH?!

Not a slide show?

Nice.

Joe Rogan is the patron saint of dudes who are not nearly as smart as they think they are.

Unfortunately, I’m 6'4", so my only options for pronouns are FeeFie/FoeFum.

Thank you for your comment. 

Similarly, movie reviews are long-winded ways of saying “I liked this movie” or “I didn’t like this movie.” And comments like yours are pretty concise (though still, somehow, overlong!) ways of saying “I do not have any interesting thoughts to offer, but I feel the need to say something anyway.”

I can’t judge all Rogan listeners, obviously.

The real way for Rogan to get people to not take his opinion at face-value when he doesn’t have any idea what he’s talking about is to not offer it to an audience of millions. I could talk about how little I know about aviation, but if I wrote several bestelling books about how to build airplanes with “hey, look, you…

I agree. An opinion piece about Saturday Night Live is not journalism.
