also, as is mandatory with this kind of posting, I have my semi-final tier list of the games in the collection, and an organizational tier list of how difficult each game was to cherry

My tier list of the games in UFO 50. The categories are, from top to bottom, "The Faves," "Thoroughly Enjoyed, revisited or thought about often," "Pretty Great, but didn't think much about them after beating," "Fine Game, didn't stick with me," and, "'Oh right, that game'"

My organizational tier list of how difficult the cherry requirements are for each game. The top half are games that pissed me off, arranged from "fun challenge" to "intolerable challenge," and the bottom half are games that did not piss me off, arranged from "fun challenge" to "not a fun challenge"

Y'all it is finally done I've cherried all 50 games in UFO 50 🥹 What an incredible experience. For ~2 years, playing a "new" game meant moving onto another game in this collection. It's really strange to be finished! The amount of convo this collection has spurred will stick with me for ages

are the new Fire Emblem games still mostly dating sim visual novels with a side of tactics gameplay? I'm loosely interested in Fortune's Weave but I've bounced off of every FE since Awakening and maybe I'm finally ready to concede that they're just not for me. I wanna believe, tho.

A few years ago I went to a pig sanctuary and most of the pigs were stoned from eating green acorns. This one, Wilbur, couldn’t stand up and was too big to lift, so the staff had to leave him in this bush and wait for him to sober up.

I know I'm nearing the end of Moby Dick because I'm getting individual chapters where each main character gets a monologue more metal than the last. The Pequod caught fire, Ahab got all weird about the power of lightning, then Starbuck pointed a musket at Ahab while he slept. I love this book

in my Sloan listening saga, Twice Removed might be my favorite album. They're clearly still figuring out their sound here, but that's why I love it. There'll be a power-pop banger followed by 3 songs that could be Low b-sides followed by the 7 min jammy track "Before I Do" youtu.be/e_KDBHrVX0Y?...

more musicians should be this honest in the liner notes

The liner notes for "Unrequited" by Loudon Wainwright III, which read, "Let's face it. Without me none of this would have come about. I deserve most of the credit. But, let's face it (again) and give a little credit where a little credit is due. The following were well paid and they still did a swell job."
