Any debate on these 6 (the 6 highest rated games on Metacritic this year) being the TGA GOTY candidates on Monday? 4 indie games is quite funny, especially given E33 is gonna win. Could see Blue Prince, Split Fiction, or DK not making it, with BP the least likely, but idk what you'd replace with.

Saw a comment about how bad that new lawyer drama with Kim Kardashian is, went to the wikipedia Reception section, wasn't disappointed. Then I watched the trailer. I've GOT to resist watching this, I can't spend time this way any more www.youtube.com/watch?v=4SVJ...
![Text from Wikipedia that reads:
Angie Han of The Hollywood Reporter wrote that the series was "brain dead", stating that "characters are so thin, their storylines so flimsy and their motives so underbaked that there's no recognizable emotion underlying any of it, and thus no feeling to be provoked by watching it". The Guardian's television critic Lucy Mangan gave the series zero stars out of five, writing that "I did not know it was still possible to make television this bad. I assumed that there was some sort of baseline, some inescapable bedrock knowledge of how to do it that now prevents any entry into the art form from falling below a certain standard. But I was wrong." The review was the paper's 15th zero-star review in its 204-year history. Ed Power of The Telegraph gave the series one star, calling the show "a crime against television" and a "mind-bending horror sure to trigger nightmares in the unsuspecting viewer". USA Today's television critic Kelly Lawler called the show "the worst TV of the year", detailing that it was an "unmitigated disaster of [...] outlandish proportions". Ben Dowell of The Times specifically criticized Kardashian's performance, stating that she "must have quite a healthy ego to star in what may well be the worst television drama ever made".](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:gqajwjjjriezsivzvx2gn2ms/bafkreigkvo4ifwayxbqpgywqiqd2lubposq32liijggyas73skgtv7n73e@jpeg)

That will probably do me. I might go back for 100% (and some stuff that isn't marked as percentage, for some reason). The vast majority of it is a 10, but they definitely needed a few more lesser-skilled testers. I also think they ran out of good game design ideas before they ran out of game.
