It’s even in the description that they’re not looking for you to calculate the technically best game- that’s impossible. Even if you think a game’s plot/controls/graphics suck that’s in the eye of the beholder, and even though people are quick to demonize nostalgia, I will blatantly admit that certain games are regarded with an extra fondness because of where I encountered them in my life. I would not like Super Mario Sunshine the same if I had first played it at 15 rather than 9. 

I love Undertale but now I’m just getting annoyed because so many people in the fandom are chanting about how UNDERTALE MUST WIN OMF FUCK NOSTALGIA BUBBLES EW FUCK GAMES THAT MADE A DRASTIC CULTURAL IMPACT ON A GENERATION AND THE GAMING INDUSTRY THIS NEW GAME IS BEST END OF STORY LMAO LET IT BEAT OUT EVERYTHING BC IT’S NOT ABOUT GRAPHICS AND FANCY MECHANICS EXCEPT IT IS WHEN WE SHIT ON POKEMON R/B/Y AND SUPER MARIO 64.

Can we not be THAT fandom…? I mean, that impossible because all fandoms are THAT fandom, but for fuck’s sake it’s just flat-out annoying and childish that people are basically shaming others into voting for Undertale or they’re ‘too fucking attached to their nostalgia goggles ugh pathetic grow up’. If you’re throwing a panicked tantrum because you want your latest obsession to win a popularity poll, you may need to be the one to back the heck up for a quick minute and re-evaluate what the hell you’re doing.
