@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
honestly Angband gets an honorable mention just for the whole potion of uselessness thing
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?)
