    Too many to count, but I'll list the highlights:

    --Waking up Christmas morning to play Green Hill Zone in Sonic 1 and hearing the music. Instant core memory

    --Some of the early strange and hard games, like Kid Chameleon, which was basically a coded fever dream

    --Buying Shining Force II from my friend for $5, ended up becoming my favorite overall game for the system and one that I still break out every now and then.

    There's a small Mexican chain by me called Tijuana Flats, and I'm sure they use "Taco Tuesday" in their promotions. Regardless, every Tuesday they have taco specials which are delicious, so who cares about the name, as long as the food is good!

    PS5: Final Fantasy XVI - I've played every Final Fantasy game almost since they came out (starting with IV on the SNES) so this was going to be no different. I'm loving the story so far, but I understand the criticisms that people are having with the linearity and sub-par crafting. I feel like it's closer in battle system to the Batman: Arkham games, with the strong focus on blocking/dodging in combat and the mostly on-rails exploration. I'm all for iterating and keeping the series fresh, there are plenty of other options for people to get the classic FF itch, so I'm feeling pretty good about it so far. And man, that story is great!

    Switch: Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes - I put almost 200 hours into TotK so now it's back to this one, which I am enjoying. It's more on-rails than the first FEW game, truly a mix between classic Fire Emblem and Warriors-style chaos. It's a nice change of pace to just run in, do a battle for ten minutes and get out.

    Steam Deck: Vampire Survivors - Another one that's great for bite-sized playtimes throughout the day/evening.

    Mobile: Guardian Tales - The best (now that Final Fantasy: Record Keeper is shut down) gacha game on mobile. Great content, balance, the gacha is mostly extraneous and almost everything can be done with free resources. Story and gameplay is great too.

    By the way, this is my first comment on Tildes! Happy to be here!!
