My Game Awards take: I wish Geoff went out of his way to assemble a jury of like 2 dozen ish specific people that held meetings throughout any given year.
Do I really need a combo vote of what all the mainstream outlets (doing their own awards) think?
Give it some personality! Make it exclusive✨

Here's my TGA problem: No one can play every game. It's just not possible. So when it comes to a wide media voting jury, the nominations turn into "The best games I had to play for work." Zeitgeist games will always rise to the top because sites and creators had to pump out content on them.

For years, I’ve criticized the Democratic Party.
This is why. Not due to hate, but out of love for the working class.
This version of the Democratic Party at the federal level has enabled a genocide, refused to hold a robust primary in 2024, and is now caving on healthcare. 1/2

good thing I have had so much success with John Fetterman in the past!!
A sick traitor to all he represents.

2/ The Senators who want to vote yes on basically any terms appear to be shaheen, Hassan, king and Fetterman. Slightly less clear but I think pushing that way are Peters and Durbin. You’ll note that four of these six are retiring. Others who seem on the fence include the two sens from Georgia and …
