Angemedia - a NeoRomance fan community

did some intense backloggd research, and it seems video games didn't get good until 1993 (first year with 5+ games that are rated 4/5 stars or above)

these are the games btw

i'm putting a star by the games i've played and like :3
1. mega man x
2. castlevania: rondo of blood
3. super mario bros. 3 (the snes port)
4. day of the tentacle
5. super mario all-stars
6. doom
7. the legend of zelda: link's awakening 🟊

... after typing that i wanted find out during which year did games get REALLY good (what year has the entire first page of games with 4/5 or above), and the answer to that is 2021.

for the curious

1. disco elysium
2. outer wilds echoes of the eye
3. outer wilds archaeologist edition (wtf that's the same game twice?)
4. mass effect legendary edition
5. the binding of isaac: repentence
6. the great ace attorney chronicles
7. final fantasy xiv: endwalker
8. mass effect 2
9. tsukihime: a piece of blue glass moon
10. library of ruina
11. the binding of isaac: repentance (...? this one say's it's for afterbirth, the higher one is for rebirth)
12. the legend of heroes: trails through daybreak
13. lost judgement
14. resident evil 4 vr
15. crosscode: a new home
16. deltarune chapter 2

19. gothic the chronicles of myrtana: archolos
20. metroid dread
21. jack jeanne
22. psychonauts 2
23. ghost of tsushima
24. castlevania: aria of sorrow 🟊 but it's specifically the port in the advance collection
25. scarlet hollow
26. it takes two
27. the elder scrolls v: skyrim - anniversary edition
28. judgement
29. nier replicant
30. honkai 3rd impact: outerworld traveler
31. cruelty squad
32. final fantasy vii remake intergrade
33. inscryption
34. before your eyes
35. demons roots
36. slow damage
37. blazing hope
38. spiritfarer
39. super mario 3d world + bowser's fury
40. metro exodus: enhanced edition
41. mass effect 3
42. hitman 3
43. nioh 2
44. rhythm doctor
45. neo: the world ends with you
46. little nightmares ii
47. imposter factory
48. sound voltex: exceed gear
49. final fantasy: pixel remaster
50. honkai impact 3rd: the phantom of the theater
51. echo
52. super mario 64 plus
53. metroid dread: special edition
54: blasphemous: wounds of eventide
55. devil may cry 5 deluxe edition + vergil
56. super metroid redux
57. honkai impact 3rd: hacked
58. virche evermore: error:salvation 🟊
59. touhou mystia's izakaya
60. umineko no naku koro ni saku: nekobako to musou no koukyoukyoku

good thing i started making a list. it includes dlc and ports and stuff! i'm not sure if that all counts. now let's see what happens if i filter it to only include main games

...

then there is no year where games are REALLY good, unless i lower my standards to 30 games that are 4/5+ instead of 60. 1993 is still the first year of ~good~ gaming though, because it just removes super mario all-stars (collection of ports) and super mario bros. 3 (the favorite from that quartet of ports).

let's say i lower it to 30 community-decided best main games. then the first year of great gaming is 2023.

click if you dare

1. baldur's gate 3
2. alan wake ii
3. resident evil 4: deluxe edition
4. the legend of zelda: tears of the kingdom
5. in stars and time
6. pikmin 4
7. armored core vi: fires of rubicon
8. theatrhythm final bar line
9. pizza tower
10. octopath traveler ii
11. misericorde: volume one
12. chants of sennaar
13. hi-fi rush
14. the talos principle ii
15. super mario bros. wonder
16. sakura no toki: sakura no mori no shita wo ayumu
17. void stranger
18. lies of p: deluxe edition
19. bomb rush cyberfunk (es oomf)
20. lies of p (??)
21. like a dragon gaiden: the man who erased his name
22. blasphemous ii
23. little goody two shoes
24. street fighter 6
25. the cosmic wheel sisterhood
26. tloz tears of the kingdom deluxe edition (???)
27. undertale yellow
28. peaks of yore (me playing snes games)
29. gravity circuit
30. sanabi
31. a space for the unbound

could actually be true, could be recency bias. backloggd was created in 2019, if that means anything. in my perfect world i would love to see how the ratings would look if everyone who has ever touched a single video game was made to participate in rating.

while i'm here: it's link time babeyyyy

Obligatory warning for Naruto (Shippuden) spoilers.

I've watched the entire Pain terrorism arc, and am maybe halfway through... whatever it is I'm watching. Everyone finding out that Sasuke is losing his mind or something. In the last episode I saw "Madara" said he's starting a war, and Sakura said she has something to tell Naruto. The comments underneath the episode all said what she has to say is some bullshit though 💀💀 Probably like "no matter how awesome and cool and just generally better you are, I still like Sasuke more <3" like okay thanks Sakura, that's definitely something important right now. God I wish Kishimoto wrote better women.



500 years ago I first saw this GIF and thought it was funny (why did he do that??), and a few days ago I saw the real scene in context and laughed. He did the thing guys!! Why did he do that? And then a full 12 hours later I was looking at the GIF again laughing and wondering why he did that still, and then it hit me. He's losing his vision, isn't he? (I'm not very quick on the uptake, sorry LMAO) Pretty quickly, too. Itachi was in his 20s and could still see, however badly. This is great. Awesome, if you ask me! I wish I could see him suffer over it more, but it's Naruto's show, not his u_u <- This User Is Probably A Sadist Also it's funny that the thing he was drinking was probably not water, but, judging by the color of the taller bottle, sake. Bro......

And then all his teammates are like "Sasuke's changed..." Yea, cuz y'all let him turn to alcoholism! Take his damn drinkies away 😭😭
