Easy 9. What I'd be curious about is to see people's thoughts on the sequels. I'm of the (seemingly) rare opinion that the first 4 films are all of a pretty similar caliber, even the 4th one which people largely hate for... reasons I've never quite been clear on.

I'm thinking this year I'm gonna focus on NES, then in 2025 I'll circle back around to Gameboy. Good luck to everyone this year though! If you guys make a crazy amount of quick progress in a few months time I may refocus my attention to this instead, but we'll see!

Personally I'm satisfied with what we accomplished last year so I won't be partaking in this one, but good luck to those who are!

Depending on whether or not there's any other completion threads for this year, I'm gonna try to lend some aid this time around. I'm gonna prioritize games which weren't beaten last year, and games which are generally unfun and/or very long, same as I did with the N64 completion thread last year. I'm gonna try to focus on the games that nobody really wants to play, and hopefully save the fun ones for the rest of you. We made a big push in the N64 completion thread last year and managed to beat the whole library, let's try to make a big push for NES this year and I'm sure we can replicate that same success.

Gotcha, was just confused about that. Makes sense

Oh yeah I'll take that too if that's a thing

Well yeah that's what I meant, a huge list of fixes, haha. Another thing I just noticed with the badges is that some of them say "(Badge Name) for a post in a topic" rather than just the name of the badge, and if you click on it, it takes you to the post in which the badge was awarded. The Helping Hand badge I have is the same way. Given the way the system works I understand why that would happen, not really an issue in and of itself, I'm just not sure why that would only happen to a couple of the badges and not all of them.

Oh, should I go ahead and inundate you with things to fix with dark mode again in that case?

Kiosk Badge (Pic below, forgot about this one. I think I did take a pic of one of my kiosks in the past, but I have no clue where that pic is now so I just took another one.) Also, is there any way to choose which badges you want to be displayed under your profile? As far as I can tell there isn't, that's really the only improvement to the current system I can think of. Other than that we're pretty much back to where we were at with the previous system which happened a lot quicker than I was expecting given how barebones the new system was at first. Well done @Gloves I also noticed earlier that the Holiday contest badges I have are slightly smaller than the other badges for whatever reason in the Badges section of my profile, not a big deal at all but figured I'd point it out. Not sure if any other badges have that issue or if it's just these 4.

1: It was this year, but I think it's being discussed to not make that one annual anymore since turnout for that one was very low this year. 2: Nah I'm a completionist by goal is to WIN, haha

I actually kinda like this idea

Yeah, his video on PGA helped me a good bit. Anyway, now I can finally get back to playing DOOM Next year I'm probably gonna focus my efforts on the NES Completion thread, unless there's another timed library besides that one, in which case I'll focus my efforts on that.

And with that, the N64 library has been conquered @Splain

Oh OK, I didn't realize you had already done it, nice. We'll be fully done later tonight then.

Will 100% be done with PGA later tonight, so as long as @the_wizard_666's got Wrestlemania taken care of, we're aaaaall good.

Alrighty! SO, with scores of 19,743,710, 10,187,430 & 7,311,710 respectively, @ndsnfr has won in 1st place, @SuperJimtendo has won in 2nd place, @NESfiend has won in 3rd place, and (after a little change of heart) @The Grinch has taken care of selecting the winner of the 8-bit Xmas 2023 cart, which will go to @ndsnfr with a score of 19,743,710 over The Grinch's final score of 6,220,090! Congrats, you all did super well! As always, thank you all for participating! @ndsnfr@SuperJimtendo@NESfiend@CT@Link@RH@Gloves@DefaultGen@ZeldaFan042@multiboot@BlackVega@spacepup@JamesRobot@Splain That about does it! With all that said and done, the 2023 VGS Christmas Contest has come to a close! Merry Christmas (and a Happy New Year) to you all! I hope you all had a good time with this one, this event was a huge success which I was very very happy to see! Hope to see you all again next event!

That's fair, I do agree with that.

It's not that bad, it's just kinda boring, haha.

I've also been enjoying it quite a bit, though I figured I probably would so slightly different situation on my end.

I dunno if I'll have PGA beat tomorrow, but definitely should have it done by day after tomorrow if not.

RH is right that it's more convenient for me if you update the original post, but you're not required to, it's not an outright rule. You can update your original post or make news posts, either way the score will be counted. I'm not sure why you participated at all if you didn't enjoy the game and didn't want to be included in the raffle but alright

You think you'll have time to beat it? I assume you will, it sounds like you're pretty close to the end but just want to make sure. I can always pick it up after I'm done with PGA if not.

I was your secret santa, glad you enjoyed everything! I do have one question though; what's your damn shirt size?! Because you said you were a big fan of the Zelda franchise, and you also liked hawaiian shirts, so I was originally going to get you a Zelda-themed hawaiian shirt as well, but you didn't specify in your list what size to get, and I didn't want to anonymously ask what your size was since that'd kinda ruin the surprise, haha. Still glad you liked everything though!
