ResetEra Thread of the Month Contest Nomination Thread - January 2021

[Nilou]

Just a reminder, for a thread to be eligible it must have been made between January 1st and January 31st.

Lastly this thread is just for nominating threads with a link to said thread, NOT for actual voting. A separate, dedicated voting thread will be made in early February!

Thank you!

I would like to nominate this little thread, asking for tips as a newbie to Sekiro:

Playing Sekiro for the first time - Any tips?

Hey Everybody, I just picked up Sekiro for the 1st time. I have played Demon Souls on ps5 already and got recommended this game by so many great people. The big issue is, I am having severe difficulties progressing, I have no problems going through Dark Souls or Demon Souls, but this game for...

Rationale: This is a notoriously challenging and yet broadly popular game. In this thread, in post after post, we were simply treated to a lot of helpful and friendly advice for how to get the most from the game. Veterans picked up some things they'd missed, and newcomers like myself were assisted to get themselves a toe-hold. Therefore I'm nominating the thread, as being both informative and collegiate, and the OP from Reigning Empire, as having successfully initiated an open and productive discussion.

Thanks!

Tweaked the rules a little bit. Anyone is now able to nominate one thread from each of the 3 categories (Gaming, Ecetera, OT) for a total of 3 nominations per user in total!

 

[Morrigan]

For OT category, nominating

2021 PC Screenshot Thread PC - Screenshots - OT

Cyberpunk header coutesy of nattydread See the 2020 thread here Limits: 3 screenshots per post. Spamming: No more than 3 consecutive posts. Naming: Always include the name of the game with the screenshots. Not everyone is a game encyclopedia. Compression: Don't OVERLY compress your screens or...

As a yearly thread it's only eligible this month, but it's a great thread full of very talented people showcasing the beauty of video games. The console screenshot thread is great too, but I'd feel too biased nominating it as I'm more active in it, and, if I'm being honest, while the PC one has a bit less activity, the quality shot/post ratio seems higher overall, no doubt due to all the modding and camera tools that are more widely available on the PC platform.

I know the thread was an accident, but I was having a bad day and this thread just made me smile. Plus it went on for 5 pages of random

[Why would you do that?]

I would like to nominate this EtcetEra thread:

Is english your native language?

This thread made me wonder: https://www.resetera.com/threads/when-someone-on-a-place-like-resetera-types-something-incorrectly-is-it-worth-pointing-it-out-to-them.356167/ How many Era users are actually english native speakers ? If you're not a native speaker, how did you learn ? When I was...

"[POLL] Is English your native language?"

It's such a simple question not many would think to ask, but the poll results appear to be unexpected to many in the thread, and have taught us a lot about the ResetEra community. I think it speaks volumes about just how global the community is, how welcoming it is to people across the world, and about not making assumptions about one other.

And I think it's pretty cool that one little poll could do that.


(Also, I hope that after I post this the poll doesn't change drastically, lol.)

Can't believe nobody has nominated this one yet:

Terrorist Trump Cultists Begin Getting Arrested And Fired From Jobs

Be sceptical about videos of people being arrested at airports. So far every video I've seen posted in this thread is from an older event, not anything to do with last weeks terrorist attack.

www.resetera.com

While I appreciate the importance and weight of the main thread during the attacks, this thread is full of clowns eating crow, and fills me with such glee that they aren't always getting away with it. I'm sure we'll be seeing this thread, and some offshoots for a long time as the convictions and arrests pile up, we should cement its place in legend while we still are in the month it was birthed.

I want to nominate this thread.

i hate movies

why do they always act like awkward interactions in movies are "cute" and "quirky" when in real life it's just torture? this needs to STOP.

www.resetera.com

It's simple, subversive, self deprecating and immediately endearing.

Gaming nomination (tentative, I may edit):

Bloodborne is an amazing game if you’re an arachnophobe

TOXI, IF YOU’RE READING THIS, YOU CAN’T DEFEND SPIDERS IN HERE. Lemme just say that I skipped the shit out of Brightstone Cove Tseldora in DS2. Well, not really. I eventually got to the room where you have to slowly traverse a giant web while there’s spiders coming to kill you and I started...

Edit: already found a better one!
Edit 2: well, reverting because... reasons

 

[Phabh]

I don't know where I should ask this but why isn't there any Era's GOTY voting thread for last year?

 

[aerie]

Been thinking about this for a little while, and my gaming nomination is:

20 years LTTP | Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver

I originally got a copy of Soul Reaver in my younger years back in the olden days of the Playstation, but the fartherest I made it into the game was reaching the vortex of souls and...stopping. I dunno, maybe my younger self was too spooked or confused on how to progress, despite Raziel and the...

Nomination:

PSA: Here's a long ass list of upcoming indie games to have on your radar

One of my hobbies when I'm bored is trying to find very obscure / under-the-radar indie games that are in development to give myself more things to be excited about lol. I kinda just jot the titles down on my phone and remind myself what's on the list every now and then, but I figured I would...

Many interesting looking games that aren't getting any love elsewhere.

The replies on the first page alone are hilarious.

I also nominate this thread for the sheer amount of catharsis it provides.
