Best of 2024, a thread: Every day in December, I’m going to talk about one my favorite pieces of entertainment I read/played/heard/watched this past year! Everything is roughly in order of how much I enjoyed it, with some exceptions.
And after a year break, I pushed to the end of Metaphor: ReFantazio
Extended thoughts to come but I genuinely think it's Atlus's best work. Distinct, original cast of characters, SMT's ideologies grounded in material terms, and their best combat yet. Love it to death

Mixfest weekend was great! Finally broke my 0-2 curse, got some commentary blocks in, and had a great time as always
Gonna take a short fighting game break, but I'll be back stronger in the new year 🫡

Yeah like I play a lot of games, I've finished what I'd consider a lot of games this year
And that's 21 games. The difficulty of getting through every major release and also having any semblance of a social life is near impossible

Genuinely I think the video games industry is too large across too many games over too many hours across too many countries and languages to ever have a genuinely representative voting block outside of people that do nothing but play games all days. Most devs I know play like 3 games a year.
The DICE awards already do something similar to this and the awards are just as bad and go to an even slimmer pool of games because shockingly lots of oversees games get left out.
The only game dev I've ever known in my life barely even plays new releases. It doesn't work out how you would expect.

agreeing to make a terrible deal while your main opponent is quite literally being boo'd on live tv by an entire stadium of people is the kind of political instinct you'd normally only find in a 3 week old dead goldfish

I've known Stealth was a desperate Nintendo hack for over a decade, since my Game Informer Online days. How do people still take this guy seriously??
Y’all have GOT to stop uncritically sharing Stealth’s posts without checking your sources!
I can’t find a source for when and where Miyamoto supposedly said this or who translated it ANYWHERE and yet my timeline is flooded with takes on it.
