I’ve not played a lot of my favorite games to completion. In the case of FF VIII, I’ve put in a lot of time in the game but even more watching Let’s Plays of it. A lot of these entries were chosen for the impact that stuck with me and their comfort levels. It’s important for a game to have a sense of “idling” to it, but it’s not a necessity. My favorite game on here, which is essentially a fan game, doesn’t exactly have that, but the comfort levels of it are still peak for me and has a strong sense of nostalgia. Earthbound’s a game with loads of personality and uses it’s art design, writing, and music to embed itself in our minds. Animal Crossing and BotW both exude comfort and idleness in similar yet unique ways. YCC is a fun board-like game that displays a different side of a beloved childhood card game with a 10/10 ost to boot. Mario 64 and Melee are simply classics with wondrous legacies. And Pokemon White 2 and Pokémon Xmas are two amazing entrees with Xmas being a cozy snowscape.

This list perhaps changes more than the other two. These are just the 10 that currently feel “the most right” and I’m happy enough with the selection to have them represented here. Frank Ocean is one of those artists I feel like everyone loves and respects to a degree and has been enamored with at least one of his tracks, but blonde is an album that feels personal. It’s an album that isn’t attempting to “sell” and it has an atmosphere unlike anything close to his contemporaries. Same for NMH. This is an album that I genuinely can’t picture a single person hating. It’s beautiful. I can say that about all of these albums but this is of a different scope. The Strokes are easily my favorite band and saying Is This It is my favorite is like ignoring the other legendary work they’ve done. Imogen Heap’s album is a sleeper hit and deserves more ears on it. I can also say that about the other albums too lol. The top 6 though are exceptional and are on a higher plane of love than the other four.

Cinema is easily the medium that shaped me the most. These ten didn’t necessarily impact me within my adolescence, Pinocchio being the closest one that did when I was 19, but with my young adulthood I feel evermore connected with everything I am viewing on screen—striking me with each delicate frame. Parasite is a great barometer for what deserves a spot in my favorite films. A exceptional must-watch for sure. The Elephant Man is the most recent film of these I’ve seen, and even after having seen it only twice and within a three day span, it’s breathtaking, heavy-hitting, and had me thinking “I’m so glad I watched this before I’ve died.” Marriage Story is another one that I didn’t expect to love so much. Feels like it clearly blows other film out the water. But so do the others here. End of Eva is probably forever my favorite film. Nothing’s like it. It’s not a stand along film but it’s worth the experience. So much to say for the rest. I love these films so much. I’m happy they exist.
