This is not a pleasant watch, it straight up sucks and will ruin your mood. But it's what's happening in my city and people should all be aware of how truly inhumane it really is
Please pay attention to what's happening in Minneapolis, Minnesota. youtu.be/W1dyNcRGRXY

Tons of great 2025 releases in this one sourced form a very smart group of people, plus you can hear all about my favorite games of the year as well!
The results are in! The listener GOTY poll had a record number of voters this year, and was very competitive — until one game ran away with the prize. But is it the one you think?
Guest host @blinkoom.bsky.social dropped by to help deliver the results. Find it everywhere except Spotify.
