Wizardry almost certainly counts here due to just genrally disliking D&D in all its aspects, and is probably the biggest one one. Final Fantasy Tactics probably another good example. Otherwise I'd say King of Dragon Pass but I might need some guidance for that one. Also possibly some shooters but really, older ones tend to be alright and our main distaste is for stuff like Call of Duty which would be funny to try but isn't as interesting or excting. Ninja Gaiden Black might count for this too but we've beaten it before.

Going to leave out Mario titles for this one. Blades of Steel for sure, and also golf games in general are usually pretty dang good. Also Virtua Tennis on the Dreamcast is one we keep meaning to stream because it was a fave back in the day.

It's pretty easy to ignore sports games in general for a number of reasons, and we're definitely guilty of it. But really, they're generally pretty good, its just that we don't pay close attention to the actual sports so we're lacking in some percentage of the appeal.

Guess it didn't! The thing that just popped into mind was "Comix Zone but punching objects actively heals you" and the funny thing is it still wouldn't make that game easy.

Thankfully we have air conditioning. A gatorade really hits the spot after big sweating too. In the times of most powerful need: the legenday cold shower does wonders.

We've been real bad about eating a real breakfast in the last year or so for different reasons. Often we'll have like a fruit/jello cup or something. But we're slowly trying to get back to our old haunt: a cereal rich in fibre. It's not fancy but it does the nutrition. A bagel sometimes instead.

That said, we love breakfast foods and try to sneak them into later meals as much as possible. Tater tots my beloved

Spicy: Jalapeno Popper
Sweet: Let's go with something a little new and say Tiramisu
Mild: Uuuuuuh mild cheese? idk
Salty: Cool Ranch Doritos
Umami: Hot Dogs. That's meat that counts right?

We have so many things lying around that its pretty hard to hit FOMO for us. That said, we did buy Mina the Hollower immediately despite misgivings so I guess it's pretty arbitrary. Like I'm sure we'll like Deltarune a bunch but the effort of going back and replaying some chapters and so on keep us from scooping it up for now. Probably sick music and visual style that stand out are the best way sight unseen but word of mouth WILL do it from the right people.

So I guess the answer is "a friend saying yo check this out" and being way into it.

The noble Diet Coke without a doubt. We like cranberry juice for morning sweetness too. In fact, maybe I'll go grab a glass right now.

Since you like Zero Ranger I think Radiant Silvergun would actually be a neat choice, or possibly Ikaruga. Down Load on the PC Engine is junky and funny. And since the remake is eventually approaching you might not wanna touch Touhou 6 at this time but... Touhou 7 is good too. Bonus answer: It's Gradius July.

We do have a 3DS and we really gotta pull it out for testing out various games soon. We only got MonHun 4 and Generations on it but there's always playing MH Tri on Gamecube with the fanmade servers that exist
