It’s difficult to not say The Last of Us, but c’mon, Link Between Worlds was really *really* good.
Shout out to Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons, Gone Home, Papers Please, and honestly, LEGO Marvel Superheroes, too.

Number one is (and was at the time) God of War: Ragnarok, but Pentiment is a VERY close 2nd after finally getting to it this year.
Between Golden Idol, Signalis, Citizen Sleeper, and Immortality, it was just a stellar year for story. 2022 rocks.

Interestingly, I think my "then" and "now" 2014 Top Ten are probably very similar, but memory might blur the surrounding years together...
That said, Shovel Knight was def my number one, and still is.

On the heels of the failure of big money pushes for NFTs, crypto, wearables, and the metaverse, it is absurd to hold the position of "AI is inevitable and we must learn to live with it."
It's also a craven position that suggests we shouldn't fight for what we value. We decide our own fates.

Played through "Keeper" from @doublefine.com
Really loved the whacky nature of everything, the music/sound, and flow of the different areas and puzzles
Unfortunately, felt like the design (which was excellent) was held back by the forced upscaling (DLSS, FSR, etc.) making it too hazy

Very excited for The Game Awards (as always)
From announcements to awards, and everything surrounding it, it could be better, but it feels like the most unified celebration of the year
Hope Silksong comes away with the wins it can get, but Expedition will deservedly sweep, I think

With #TheGameAwards tonight, discourse around the show will be red hot for a bit, so as someone who generally enjoys it, I've put together my pitch for...
🎮🏆THE GAME AWARDS 2.0🏆🎮
As a games academic, I'm just focusing on the award categories, because the more complex topics are beyond me.

Someone I care about lost their job in this. These stories always fucking suck, but it stings a little more.
Gross mismanagement, self-destructive trend-chasing, and over indulgence from the top. Bullshit.

As a storied Steam user, I have never posted on any game's discussion boards (All the social features are odd to me)
However, I adore when people post on the "Feline Forensics" board. Just had someone call out all the Philly references I put in the tutorial - feels good! 🐱🔎
