will be extending the deadline to this monthly goal (currently 43%) by a couple days into August... would you like to help a fella out and have them play Mr. Bones or something even more crazed on stream again? thanks to all who have tipped in the past few days ❤️

mailcty@xela.cam · last mo.

befitting of this Monthly Refuelathon are car maintenance expenses are ahead of me, so tipping me @ ko-fi.com/mailcty will definitely help me on covering such and more, PLUS y'all can decide what crazed game i revisit on stream based on how much of my monthly goal is reached 👀

mailcty's monthly REFUELATHON

Get a chance before the month ends to make me revisit games I’ve had trouble with... 

You’ll be able to vote on these games and more if I reach these goal points:

25% = Sonic R with friend(s), The Simpsons Wrestling, etc.

50% = Mr. Bones, Floigan Bros., etc.

75% = Rise of Kong in VR, Minority Report: Everybody Runs, etc.

100% = Dangerous Streets, The Sniper 2, etc.

All funds will be used to help keep a roof over my head and allow me to keep doing what I do as a creator. <3

the pre-RGG Toshihiro Nagoshi tier lists... the Spikeout series may not have entirely hit the highs as his racing projects, but i cannot deny that Slashout was a blast! now a Super Monkey Ball tier list of his entries does remain 🤔

mailcty's tier list of the Spikeout game series as of 6/13/2026
Amazing: Slashout
Solid: Spikeout: Final Edition, Spikeout: Digital Battle Online
Eh, It's OK: Spikeout: Battle Street, Spikers Battlemailcty's tier list of Sega racing games with notable involvement from Toshihiro Nagoshi as of 6/13/2026
God Tier: Daytona USA, Daytona USA 2: Power Edition, Virtua Racing, F-Zero GX
Amazing: SCUD Race / Sega Super GT plus

idk why i felt the need to rank the mainline, Itagaki era Dead or Alive games, but its hard for me to deny that Team Ninja was truly cookin' here early on! all iterations of DOA2 are perfection in my eyes, but 4 did not slouch at all and rest are still very enjoyable in their own ways imo

mailcty's tier list of mainline Dead or Alive games, mainly focused on the Itagaki era as of 5/8/2026
God Tier: DOA2: Hardcore, Dead or Alive 2: Shokai Genteiban, Dead or Alive 2 Ultimate, Dead or Alive 4
Amazing: Dead or Alive 3
Solid: Dead or Alive (Arcade), Dead or Alive++, Dead or Alive (Saturn), Dead or Alive (PS1), Dead or Alive 1 Ultimate

i'll admit that the initial $600 goal of my first Monthly Refuelathon was high, which was an attempt to prepare for a change regarding my state's free healthcare starting in 2027, but perhaps it's best i do further research on how to get ready for that closer to this year's end

seeing all these grids about people's top fave games lately, how about 5 of the most rancid games you've played? it's been hard to get any lower than these so far imo, but fwiw Garfield: The Search for Pooky (GBA) was almost in here

5. Cheetahmen II (NES) | 4. Human Killing Machine (Amiga) | 3. Hey Baby (PC) | 2. Fugitive Hunter: War on Terror (PS2) | 1. Sexy Flight (XBLIG)

i shamefully lacked much motivation to draw in 2025, but at least these managed to materialize earlier in the year...

before anyone asks, here's the Worst Shit i've played in 2025: 8. Mazer (3DO) 7. Plumbers Don't Wear Ties (3DO) 6. Casper and the Ghostly Trio (PS2) 5. Shark Attack: Fish Predator (NS) 4. Power Hitter (CD-i) 3. Cheetahmen II (NES) 2. Fugitive Hunter: War on Terror (PS2) 1. Sexy Flight (XBLIG)
