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.

tetsuya mizuguchi truly, earnestly believes, with his whole heart and whole mind, that generic vocal trance from 2003 has the power to awaken humanity's shared consciousness and guide us to universal peace. The strength of his conviction is so powerful that it might actually cause this to be true

Toddlers are kinda famous for getting obsessed with a song, but you assume it'll be one of the obvious ones. Baby Shark, Twinkle Twinkle, etc. But nope! This is the song that my two year old demands on repeat. He's apparently already processing his email job angst
