raocow potentially playing Nier Automata and Dark Souls in the future is pretty exciting. I would also like to see SMW Gaiden as raocow would have way more enjoyment with it than current Mario.

Hey, it wasn't me this time!

Anyway...raocow, because you're almost certainly playing Super Mario Galaxy on Dolphin, have you considered taking a stab at adding the Hi-Res Texture Mod for the game? You can find more info here. They look really good, and it would be cool to see it run this way.

I thought the rule of mystery box is that it's unknown until it starts?

I wonder - do royal picks get inserted as mystery, open knowledge, or either?

[KobaBeach]

f*uck rules

also i dont understand who wants raocow to play like pokemon mystery dungeon, the man is terrible at rpgs imagine him with a roguelike

he should play ps1 philosopher's stone for low poly hagrid

No offense, but I don't really see raocow using this at all. He's very stringent on portraying games as close to their original incarnation as possible, even in 06 he was apologizing for the constant graphical hiccups Xenia had.

rao ran a patreon poll for the next mystery box and the winner was put into the mystery box (or at least, everyone is assuming as such tho rao pulling a fast one on us and going with what he wants anyways would be funny)

the poll runner-up was

rain world

[raocow]

I realised that determining what is 'the opposite of little nemo' was a lot of pressure! So I set up a poll with a bunch of games that I thought qualified in different ways

for the record, the winner was the one that I would have chosen without a poll!

[Emral]

i seem to have noticed a disturbing lack of alundra in the bucket.txt

The way it works is that after a game that won in a poll is beaten three new things get selected for COMING UP NEXT list.

• A random royal is selected. They have 7 days to contact raocow with their list of 3 games, and 24 hours after video gets uploaded they get notified about being selected. After poll ends this game alongside with royal selections gets revealed, however royals can choose to reveal their selections early (that said, raocow will only reveal their pick once poll ends). If they already were a royal before or simply choose to do so instead, they can become a manager and pick 5 games from bucket.txt for a future poll instead of giving raocow 3 games.
• 5 games get selected from bucket.txt (or from manager) and put into a poll. Second and third place winners in previous polls are weighted and are more likely to be randomly selected.
• A random theme is selected for mystery box.

Here is a vote video for this particular poll (which ended up with Super Mario Galaxy winning) in case anyone is interested in how those look like.
