Special mention to Team Fortress 2, Kirby Air ride, and Mario and Luigi Bowser's inside story. All of them could easily earn the Strikers spot on any given day. I feel like im missing something. I guess we're all a tapestry of the games we play, narrowing it down to just 9 feels reductive, but fun!

Talk about a surprise showing! I have 2100 hours in Warhammer games, and it all started when a friend sold it to me as "Pathfinder TTRPG with silly football". Vermintide 2, Total War mods! My heart will always be with the "Bulky Barons", my Orc team who ran the solo player leagues in bloodbowl 2.

Mario Strikers Charged. What can I say? Its Mario tackling people into electric fences. Such a departure from Mario's usual style! the gritty art, the gameplay! This also represents the sports series in general. S/o to Mario tennis and Mario super sluggers, even Mario Party! The experimental era...

If this was on my internet identity this would be #1. My first sonic game that I could actually internalize. Playing as the villains? So deep! (at the time). They even worked together?? Shakespeare to kid me. and the CHAO! I probably had more playtime with them, and my first existential crisis! /gen

PaperWatt @paperwatt.pmd.social · 03/10/2026

Now this is deep in my DNA. "Whoa a mario origin story!" the art style, the gameplay! The BOSSES, hello?? Raphael may be a top 10 boss still to me. Yoshi was my main in every game, even had an OC of one, but that was back when I called them "imaginary friends". His name was Yoshi lol.

A gripping story with fun ideas, Super Paper Mario actually got me to do a retrospective of the series going into high school. The games only got better as I went back, so much that... Well you see my username right? In fact I used to go by SuperPaperWatt. The series is core to my identity!

PaperWatt @paperwatt.pmd.social · 03/10/2026

Any of the first three Smash games could be here. But Brawl's subspace Emissary gave depth to a crossover world. I also won a tournament in High School! Smash 64 introduced me to Kirby too, who's my main to this day! Such a cool power. I really feel like that hand playing with plushies in Smash 64.

If only they made a game about those random dungeons... I saw a friend play this, watching the power ups interact and synergize was mystifying. And the story and lore! (Lore is going to come up a lot on this list lol). it also got me into the twitch community! Northernlion was so influential to me.

PaperWatt @paperwatt.pmd.social · 03/10/2026

I mean... you see my profile right? The first game to ever make me cry. fleshing out a world of just pokemon with a community and lore. It also planted some seeds in my brain. "Gee these random dungeons are so creative." "Tactics, positioning, really adding to the role you play." Gateway to TTRPGs.

What better way to pick number 1 than my gut saying "Sunshine!" frame one. I got this on Christmas that year. Saw Shadow Mario and turned the game off in fear. This game and I grew up together, I was 5. But throw in amazing setting and a deeper narrative than Mario usually gets? Amazing.

I'd ship the heck out of Huepow and Starlow. Same friend shape! And Huepow can turn from a floating helper into a cool prince character, they're perfect for each other! ...hey wait a minute! #Klanoa #Marioandluigi

The joke is that Dreambert is a lot like Huepow. Just with less manipulation lol.

And Dreambert gets shipped with Starlow a lot.

"Paper, he's exactly your type, I thought this was your OC. His name has 'Hue' in it, I just assumed he was a Paper Mario character." "Wait, say that again..." So then I made Huepow from #Klanoa into the #papermario TTYD remake artstyle! Hope you guys like it!

Oh man if the Pokemon Channel game had just come out one generation later there would be so much Rotom propaganda inside. Pikachu would have a little Rotom friend! For once a game born in the wrong generation instead of me. /J

PaperWatt @paperwatt.pmd.social · 19/09/2026

And that ENDING man. it really does hit different playing the game through yourself. Such creative bosses. Highly recommend! I could look at 2D Huepow all day. Specifically 2D, this 3D model above does not spark joy. The star lining up on his head is so clever. The voice is so precious 🥺

So I'm talking about my first deck ever, the Venser #mtg duel deck. "Please let them make Venser alive." When my friend says "Uh, Paper, you saw the mystery commander set right?" WHAT Then I check today ANOTHER ONE Yes, manifesting does work, kids. I'm so happy this is awesome 😭

PaperWatt @paperwatt.pmd.social · 14/09/2026

So much whimsy in so many pixels. I think it's gates to infinity that's connecting things for me. Both games really want you to feel like you are this character, in a deeper meta way when you turn the game off then revisit later.

PaperWatt @paperwatt.pmd.social · 14/09/2026

Wow I really like Klonoa (never played, probably the 3rd video essay now) And I think it's because this Huepow guy looks like Starlow? The faces he makes in the original hijack my entire nervous system lol. But the basic premise and dream themes are really special. Like the PMD series feelings.

PSA to the other #Ghosts out there, the #Pacman power pellets are very scary even if you're not a pac-man ghost. If it worked on me, a #Rotom, it can probably happen to anyone! Luckily I got away before I had to go home and put on a new... body? I wasn't eaten and reduced to two eyeballs lol.

My Pokesona, Piper the Rotom, stumbles upon a glowing sphere she doesnt recognize. She asks "The heck is this?" aloud.

Pac-man appears from the left, chomping towards the sphere. Piper, surprised and a bit confused to see Pac-man in person, she says "Huh? Pac-man?"

Pac-man eats the sphere, proving it was actually a power pellet, which lets Pac-man be able to eat ghosts. Piper, being a ghost herself, turns blue just like pac-man ghosts, supernaturally terrified by Pac-man's empowered state. She cries "AGHHHHH!!!" in fear.

Peep my new art style! This scene is inspired by @alyxcantplay.pmd.social and his AWESOME #Starfinder2e mini campaign, "No Space To Train", which we just finished today! youtu.be/mpqUdkkw9mU?... My Witchwarper, Piper, got a big power boost at the end! Bending reality is super useful lol.

Playing Paper Mario Black Pit mod/romhack. This is... The first time I've used this partner ability in probably a decade. So much of my life and history literally in the palm of my hands. Someone asked what my sons would be without her. I guessed I woulda been a bob-omb guy. I love bob-ombs. (👇)

All set for #Artfight2026 ! New roster shakeup, cutting Pixie since he had such a great reception last year. Thank you everyone that submitted! I'm doubling down on Piper so people know to draw her lol. Didn't want her too caught up in the mystery vibe to be passed on lol.

Proxying MTG cards Requires a strategy choice as well. Smothering Tithe is scary and worth removing, but if someone gawks at my Mr krabs SpongeBob version I think its 50% more likely to be removed lol. Can you tell I'm a politics player?

PaperWatt @paperwatt.pmd.social · 08/06/2026

I fuse Bruna and Gisela into Brisela. Polymerization baby! But all's not great. The gambling player just rolled a nat 20 on the deck of many things! I lose if my turtle dies! "You should know Yugi always has the right answer." Boom! Angel's grace! Best. Game. Ever!

PaperWatt @paperwatt.pmd.social · 08/06/2026

Including Progenitus. Not the best in 2026 but it makes a damn statement. But Deathrite shaman isn't done cooking yet. I cast door to nothingness and wait to get to 9 mana. Then, when a board wipe is cast, I use Deathrite to ramp and friggin Obliterate the token player!

PaperWatt @paperwatt.pmd.social · 08/06/2026

Okay so Prismatic bridge topdecks your first creature and plays it for free. Turn 2 deathrite shaman keeps the graveyard deck honest while I use it to ramp the bridge a turn early. Never got removed! I easily got like 6 spins off it.

PaperWatt @paperwatt.pmd.social · 08/06/2026

Just had the best game of #MTG #Commander ever. Prismatic bridge deck based on vague tropes in yugioh. 2 progenitus spins, melded Brisela, door to nothingness a guy. Someone about to hit me with a lose effect? Activate trap card, angel's grace baby! Full details below 👇

"I know you're still on chapter 3, but here's this island for chapter 6 when you're ready." "Uhhhhh I think I can tell you some research notes already... E, do you know where you landed?" The references... So much to pull from!

#Mewgenics has been completed. What a wild ride. 230ish hours, give or take 10 for idling. Like 85% lol If you don't want spoilers it's a long ride. You know not to look at any videos or comments, it may just be better to bite the bullet. My vague advice for the best story experience?

Oh yeah, here's a piece I did while testing out new pen settings. The pencil tool is way better at making consistent lines that don't look so... Basic? After doodling myself enough times I made a cleaner one. I've got a real bard arc I'm going on rn, setting up lore when I play D&D as myself.

Wild run in #TheRoyalWrit today to beat Hardship 10. I was in the final area, when my game nearly froze after feeding my horse wine! Something happened with hedgehog knight where it made 580+ letter cards! It may have been a weird interaction with the boss' memory loss mechanic? I won, naturally. XD

Fun! I think the duo with the most personality are Ewart and Jude (Chespin and Cyndaquil). But for a more unique one, me and a friend have a Scorbunny and Marshadow duo. No art, just the names Simon and Sophie.

To commemorate our last session of @supermaskheeler.bsky.social 's PMD D&D series. The luck was insane. "Olly" literally solo-ed a team game of volleyball (now known all Olly-ball), and literally got the kill/KO on every enemy we came across. Double Nat 20s on advantage once. Insane luck. Amazing.
