(this is an arrangement of Midboss 2 from Tales of Eternia (aka Tales of Destiny 2 in north america due to a trademark dispute))

talking to a friend has got us thinking about doing 8-bit arrangements again

@mawr oh they finally finished counting the iowa fiasco?

food trivia, mention of alcohol 

when people talk about fermentation, they usually have alcohol in mind, but did you know that foods like cheese and cured meat are also fermented? Pretty much anything that's aged at all has fermentation involved in making it; not just wine and beer and spirits but also cheese and sausages and soy sauce and countless other things I can't think of right now

playing a translation hack of ace attorney investigations 2 and this is one of the best translation hacks we've played, i think

longish, reasoning for list inclusion 

Suikoden II is on the list because of all the beautiful spritework. Especially in the early-game, there are numerous events that use sprites that are only seen once in the entire game--the best example being when Viktor and Anabelle share tea(?) and there are tons of sprites of both of them drinking and making minor idle motions that aren't used anywhere else in the game

Metal Gear Solid is on the list because of tiny things you can do that actually impact the game, like how you can use the smoke from a cigarette to make lasers visible, or how enemies will notice your footprints, not just the obvious things

After watching @connie stream metal gear solid a few times, we now have two games that we can think of with extreme attention to detail

- Suikoden II
- Metal Gear Solid (series?)
