I love it when this page comes around, I love it so much, it's absolutely perfect, it's like it's been crafted as a precise and unimprovable demonstration of how nobody should ever have an opinion about anything. It is impossible to engage with. Everything you might try to think about it just slides off. It is an unbreachable sphere. It is the egg at the end of the world that will give birth to a new universe, and we will wish it had not.
"Why is Yoshi's Island artistic and Super Mario World isn't?" Dinosaurs are more artistic than plumbers, next question.
"Why are so many of these games American" Americans are better at art.
"Wait, considered artistic, but by whom—" by Ryan.
"But what about—" stop. no. Don't say it. Do you wish any game that you personally consider to be artistic to be found in this baffling company? You do not.
"Why has no videogame been considered artistic since 2021?" Ryan's been busy with exams and also he's behind on laundry but he'll get around to it in February or, well March is really rammed but April at the latest, for sure.
I especially love the "desperate justifications for this game's presence" column in the List. The absolute best bit is when it gets to Flappy Bird. With every other game the justifications column is like this wide-ranging transformative masterpiece, considered an artistic reimagination of the franchise that pushed the bounds of technology and art, was described by the New York Times as "interesting I guess". With Flappy Bird it's just look idk what your metrics are but this is literally in the collection at the V&A and MOMA so.
