"Still, there goes one of the racing games I ever had"
How many people inserted "best" into that sentence subconsciously?
I read it correctly and then re-read because I felt like I must have missed the word and it would actually be there. Then I read it a third time to really make sure.
The best part of that game was when he said "IT'S CRUIS'N USA TIME' and cruis'd all over those guys
I think the 'ever' implies a 'best'. You need both or neither.
Does it? You would say that's one of the ever I had of a steak sandwich, if it was one of the best. It seems like it needs best/worst/mediocre sort of descriptive word in there to make sense. Mean you can guess from the scene and tone but I'd never write it out or even say it that way. Of course I never did well in English and am glad to learn new things.
It could just be sarcasm, like, "it was certainly one of the games of 2024"
