if I didn't get hit by the Once Monthly Insomnia (overexaggeration, it's once every few months) we would have slept through it, alas brain had other plans /silly

honestly very glad I didn't watch it this year, I just kept up with the announcements from wario64 lol

not sure if that's for every part or just for game of the year (or if this is even true, I only remember seeing it like a year ago) but that might be why

iirc the public votes for everything but player's voice don't matter much? i can't remember the source so forgive me if I'm wrong, but i swear that it's mostly down to a panel of judges who only partially base their decisions on the public vote

i wouldn't be surprised

what surprises me more is the fact they beat genshin for players voice

mario kart beating crossworlds is crazy, admittedly we're not really in either fan base but from what little we've heard there was a lot more complaining about mario kart than crossworlds

really surprised that Silksong didn't win more

don't doubt that expedition 33 is good but it's crazy that it beat one of the most hyped (and well delivered) games in recent memory

also like how the fuck did wuthering waves win players choice i didn't realise people actually played it

we have no stake in the game (only exposure to half life is through hlvrai) but it is really interesting to see how people latch onto coincidences / small references and create reasons why this means hl3 will come out soon /nbh

there is homestuck everywhere for people with eyes to see
