Just give Expedition 33 all the game awards. All of them. Even the categories it's not nominated in, just for fun.
In all seriousness, GOTY with ease, if there's any fairness in the world :-)

I genuinely love that Larson continues to be A Weird Little Guy, as opposed to becoming some sort of weird online white supremacist like at least two cartoonists that readily spring to mind
It's kinda cool that Gary Larson is doing new cartoons because he picked up a digital tablet, taught himself how to use it, and it made him love drawing again.

We were so close to greatness - come on, recount! 46 votes to get him off council would be such a win.
Wellington councillor Ray Chung re-elected with a margin of 45 votes
Both the prime minister and the opposition leader earlier criticised Chung over an email about former mayor Tory Whanau.

If this ends up bumping out Ray Chung I'll be so happy. He's only ahead by like 400 votes...
Preliminary votes have just dropped. No changes to results from Saturday but still 5,300 special votes to process. 48.09% turnout doesn't include SV.

With behaviour like this, Ray Chung is unfit to be any kind of leader, especially not Mayor of Wellington.
It doesn't reflect well on some of the counsellors who received his email either, such as Cr. Randle.

Here's the behavior that Better Wellington is bringing into this campaign.
I'm used to the personal abuse that comes from across the political spectrum, particularly from many on this platform. Taking it to this level is absolutely unprecedented.

Better Wellington, Graham Bloxham and Ray Chung are running the dirtiest campaigns I’ve ever seen. They’ve even gone after @ponekeben.bsky.social’s children. This is despicable and they don’t deserve to be in politics.

Campaign group’s dossier on Labour candidates labelled ‘dirty tactics’
Better Wellington is distancing itself from a “ham-fisted dirt file” on local body candidates, which slams their partners, describes mask-wearers as “Covidians” and paints pro-Māori views as extremist...

So genuinely, where does the USA go from here? You have one insane old man, who can just bomb whoever he wants, do whatever he wants, and face zero consequences. And the response is "oh, this is grounds for impeachment" as if the rule of law will do jack shit here?

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is a game I recommend to any RPG fan, it's easily my GOTY and honestly one of the best games I've played. Fair warning, it's a game ultimately about grief, loss, and how we cope/don't cope with those feelings, but it's worth the ride :-)

My only major complaint on MH Wilds so far (PC performance aside) is the quests locking you on rails. I want to explore and gather! This is Monster Hunter, let me be the free ranging weapon of mass destruction hunters have always been :-D
