[RanmyakuIchi's icon RanmyakuIchi RanmyakuIchi]

Wow! It seems some custom styles somehow make the title after the medal unreadable!
It's "Duplicate Hunter" if you are curious!

I can confirm at least that the title still shows if I hover over the medal with my mouse. (Or the name of the png, at least )

https://retrogametalk.com/threads/ps1-ps2-hidden-gems.2722/
https://retrogametalk.com/threads/ps2-games-hidden-gams.12735/

But I missed the megathread for PS2 hidden gems so it would probably be better to merge these two instead:

In a previous post I suggested merging these two:

But I missed the megathread for PS2 hidden gems so it would probably be better to merge these two instead:
https://retrogametalk.com/threads/ps2-hidden-gems.1558/
https://retrogametalk.com/threads/ps2-games-hidden-gams.12735/

Thankfully having already merged the suggestions you made in the previous post means that the parent thread (PS1/PS2) pre-dates the PS2 exclusive thread, enabling the PS2 only thread to be subsumed.
