#i simply think ricky 'owns a lambo' matsui aka ricky 'i mostly play sports games' matsui should play rocket league i think he'd enjoy that

[swarmkeepers]

games that zac oyama has played on stream, ranked by how i think ricky matsui would react to jj introducing him to them

just making d&d characters on stream (-10/10): you absolutely cannot convince me that ricky has ever touched a game of d&d. under no circumstances. ricky would also say, “this isn’t technically a game.” 

call of duty (0/10): ricky might be okay at cod, but i don’t think he’d like it very much

diablo 3 & roasting murph, emily, and siobhan (0/10): i find it very funny that diablo 3 doesn’t have a paladin class. definitely no to the backhanded compliments, and hack and slash doesn’t feel like ricky’s style, especially in tuc2

fortnite (1/10): i just don’t think he’d really get it? it’s like exactly the combination of adventure violence and random dancing and just pop culture in general that misses where ricky’s at

fall guys (4/10): potentially a ricky game, it’s cute and nonviolent and also feels like it’d be fun to play with other people which is probably pretty much the only way that ricky plays video games. weirdly good at griefing to help jj and/or esther win, but not super great at winning himself

animal crossing (5/10): this is a tuc2 ricky game in vibes for sure, but he mostly hangs out with the dream team and i just don’t see them playing enough collectively to make island visits a thing (the day that kingston brown owns a switch is the day that the city falls). i’m also not sure this is a jj kind of game so idk how ricky would get introduced to it? maybe he’ll channel the “sketching esther in charcoal” energy towards curating a really cool island though. 

super smash bros (8/10): i think if ricky has any younger cousins at all he gets roped into being absolutely destroyed by them in super smash every family get-together (source: thanksgiving every year with the Japanese-American side of my family. i am very bad at super smash.) he mains kirby. 

celeste (11/10): now this is a ricky game. mental health and near-insurmountable challenges requiring strength, reflexes, and skill? also, zac’s seeming inability to rage when systematically dying and dying and dying again is superhumanly impressive and literally looks so similar to when he’s playing as ricky that this is obviously number one
