#pick5games — Public Fediverse posts

Soon after creating this account, I saw the hashtag #Pick5Games being handed around. I made a few notes and suddenly realized, I had a lot more to tell than I could fit into a few toots.

So after a few months of thinking, expanding my notes and procrastinating, I can finally present you my #Pick5Games list in a blog post:

https://fediverse.blog/~/ThoughtsStoriesMore/pick-five-and-a-few-more-games

Even though I highly recommend to read the post, I'll give you the plain list in a CW'd follow-up toot.

I've seen a few people posting their #Pick5Games lists and it really got me thinking about mine. Given that I want to provide my stories to the games, I figure that it will become a rather long write-up. Now I'm not sure whether I should post a thread consisting of eight or ten posts or if I should just hand out a link to the writeup. :D

Thoughts? Opinions?

#Pick5Games you enjoy that say something about you:

* #Boktai (solarpunk before solarpunk was a thing; persevering even in the face of inevitable, guaranteed death)

* #BanjoKazooie (collect things for their own sake; the value is in the journey)

* #MegaMan #BattleNetwork 5 (aka #MMBN; just a fun game formula, the plot about linking all human emotions via SoulNet was cool)

* #Kirby 64 (creative combinations are key)

* #FireEmblem 8: The Sacred Stones (my first foray in tactics and strategy)
