My only big post-game-award thought is that while Clair Obscur is obviously an excellent game (cmon, don't do the sour grapes thing, please?), it still doesn't come to mind AT ALL when I think of my favourite RPGs of the year
That still goes to Look Outside, made by a tiny team in just a few months

it's actually kinda funny in a way to get to the finish line of curing cancer and having the government go eh you know what. never mind
A tiny trial in New York has shown that personalized mRNA vaccines can provoke massive, lasting immune responses against pancreatic cancer, even as sweeping federal cuts now threaten the fragile labs required to produce them.

“So it was, on that misty morning, that Brenda set off for the capital. She knew not what she would find there, only that the time had come to move on - away from small-minded rural attitudes and people who called her ‘Oreo’ and ‘the wide panda’ - to seek a more fulfilling life.”

In Super Mario Sunshine, Shadow Mario's voice is created by applying a filter to Mario's voice; however, he does not use all of Mario's voice clips. By making Mario himself use the filter, we can finally hear Shadow Mario say things like "MAMA hoohahoo wow wow" and "The horror".

Promotional photos of My Chemical Romance lead vocalist Gerard Way with Mario from a 2007 interview in the Japanese Crossbeat magazine. He is quoted as saying "I'm drawn to works that are innovative and try new things", which evidently includes Mario.

In Diddy Kong Racing DS, the message when connection is lost during Download Play is "LOST ALL CHILDREN". The cartridge is internally called a "parent" and the downloaded instances its "children". While this would make sense to the developers, it has the potential to confuse or scare players.

To be clear, this isn’t even about anything to do with the match. They’re just mad that their match is happening during pride. The nicest thing I can say here is “shut the fuck up and respect our norms or don’t come”

Local organizers had planned to include the June 26 game with Seattle's Pride celebrations. Then, FIFA announced the match would include Egypt and Iran, two countries where gay rights are nil.
