Gamethread: Methup X

So, not having participated in many of these and certainly not being a member of the All-Timers group (all 10, HSA, KenWo ... ?), there’s little I can offer in terms of Methup history.

In all likelihood, there will be no comments whatsoever! But I want to account for the possibility.
