Thank you.

If you want to get technical, a decade is any ten consecutive years. Particularly in the expression "last decade", which just means ten years leading up to now.

Does a decade begin or end with 0?
You may think 2010 was the first year of a new decade, but we never had a year 0.
The 201st decade would the years 2001-2010 in the same way that the 20th century is the years 1901-2000, but people only ever refer to the 2010s, 2000s, et cetera, which are spans of years that begin with a year ending in 0 and finish with a year ending in 9.

But a 10 year period starting with year 1 yields...
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10

The end of the first decade was year 10. The second decade began on year 11. And so on and so forth. We are still in the decade that began on 2011.

More complicated system than most rpg games have.

:deathclaw:

When a random guy on the internet explains how 1980 doesn't belong to the eighties.

All of that because some guy "forgot" year 0, 1500 years ago ...

Except he's technically wrong, since nobody's talking about the 202nd decade, which technically speaking did start in 2011, we're talking about the '10, of which we can arbitrarily pick any beginning, that is 2010.

Now shut up and start talking about blobbers.

Should we add Shin Megami Tensei Strange Journey (Redux) to the poll? I fear that would open a whole can of worms (there are many ports and remakes that I didn't include, like the Bard's Tale trilogy), but I don't really know how different that game is next to the original. Can it be considered a standalone game?

Real time blobbers , dungeon master clones and turn based wizardry clones in same poll ,completely different subgenre, next time add racing games too . Amateurism, just to get a few brofists...

Yeah, I'm pissed that MMXL got the same amount of votes as vastly superior Grimrocks too.

The internet brought on a lot of shit, but the fact it collectively decided decades begin with year 0 is a win.

Enjoy the Revolution! Another revolution around the sun that is.
I like this genre but Grimrock was pretty shit in my opinion. Combat was awful and not far in they just gave up on making interesting environments and just filled the dungeon with velociraptors.

It did look beautiful though.

I'm pissed too, but for the exactly opposite reason.

Though at least Might & Magic X is now in second place, where it belongs.

M&M games, at least starting from MM3, are blobbers for people who don't like blobbers. MMXL is no exception.

Dude, what? So MM3 was fine, but World of Xeen was not? You do realize that MMX is actually closer to the early M&M than anything past MM6?

And Grimrock is just a bad combat simulator with pretty graphics. The second one is better though.
