I forgot to mention my personal Games of the Year:
1) Clair Obscur: Expedition 33
2) Avowed
3) Donkey Kong Bananza

(based on games I've played)

My picks don't have to be yours.

I am mostly not offended by this list. With a few exceptions, I consider many of these to be among the greatest games of all-time.

I suck at visual art and I rely on a lot of "programmer art" when developing and have to replace it later with someone else's art.

So I think next year I am going to get better at drawing and build on that foundation. Even if it is just to understand the process more.

Probably the closest thing to an "ethical company" is small businesses and corporations obliterated a lot of them. If you are in a position to support small businesses, do so.
Until you stop shopping at Amazon, Walmart, Target, Kroger, Publix and stop using apple products, google products and Microsoft products, I really don’t want to hear your opinion on me using Spotify. Ethical companies do. not. exist anymore or really ever.

Donkey Kong seems a bit miffed at Lanky Kong's return. #DonkeyKong #DKBananza #DonkeyKongBananza

I had a dream we were getting a live-action sequel to the 1993 Super Mario Bros. movie and Nintendo was okay with it continuing as a separate narrative universe.

What's the point of the X location feature if it doesn't work on certain accounts? I wanted to see if there was foreign influence on the US government.

We did something different with the credits for Demonschool. We used this format: name, title, lengthy description of what they did. Often you see credits in games where you don't know what the credited developer was actually responsible for. We wanted to give people proper, actual credit.

My only issue with fan games is you could have spent that effort making something you truly own and even sell it if you want to.

It looks cool and I'll check it out, I just hope it doesn't get DMCAed.

I think I'll have enough Microsoft Points before January 8th to nab the Silent Hill 2 Remake for free.

The British when it is 70 degrees outside.
Mario Kart: Double Dash contains a bizarre "eternal European pain" glitch whereby being burned when entering a pipe will cause the character to remain in pain indefinitely, but only in the European version.

I don't know why it took forever to finally win a run in Balatro. I have played for 1 day 7 hours and 12 minutes according to the Xbox app.

LOL, nope.

Better off building your own "Steam Machine" and putting SteamOS on it at that price.
