My super hot take is that I’m much more interested in seeing Greta Gerwig going full tilt “God is a woman” for her feminist Narnia movie instead of a safe blockbuster version that’s slightly nicer to Susan.

ME: Nice base building mechanic, but I'd rather go be a ninja.
ASSASSIN'S CREED: That's okay, you don't even need to build past the tutorial, you could honestly just make every tile spawn cats if you-
ME: Say that again, Mr. GOTY?

Right wing grifters love to complain that the speedrunning scene is too gay these days, but then will blast through a 100+ hour RPG as fast as humanly possible to find out exactly how many genders you can have sex with.

Hey!
You!
Got a videogame that you love more than anyone else? My podcast Your Fave Game has started recording a new season of episodes, and I’m looking for content creators, game devs and entertainment industry folk to interview!
What’s a game you could easily rant about for an hour?

Culture war gaming grifters are so full of shit. You don’t get to complain about the new Dragon Age being too gay for months, and then also be upset that they’re getting an award specifically for that reason.

Shoutout to my fellow 2010’s era gaming YouTubers that gracefully accepted our time in the algorithm’s spotlight was over, as opposed to selling their souls to the angry right-wing grift train.

I mean this with absolutely no sarcasm or shade, it’s genuinely amazing to land the music for the Switch 2 reveal because your summer pop mega-hit has a lyric comparing your ability to ride dick to the Switch 1.

To balance out the Mario series being so progressive this past year, Nintendo just made it canon that Hyrule’s lowest point occurs after the one time a girl was in charge of saving the world. The YouTube scene of 2012 would have had a field day.

BROKE: They changed the DLC rules at The Game Awards so that Elden Ring can win GOTY twice.

10 years of The Game Awards, 10 years of my annual tweet complaining that having a separate category for "games for impact" is beyond stupid and an insult to the entire idea of treating games like an art form on par with cinema and theatre.
