yeah this is fucked up? If the people who did the shit the award is for don't work there anymore why would you give the award to their old boss. bunch o' shit
I *do* think however that it's grotesque to be giving awards to companies that have laid off huge chunks of the workforce that worked on these games that are now getting awards

now that all the games press is gone, we only have the loudest gamers to rely on when trying to get a vibe of whether a game is good, which is extremely worse than nothing
all you hear about any game that comes out now is "it's shit" or "it's fucked" regardless of how shit or fucked it is

stalker 2 just spent 20 minutes compiling shaders, then crashed so hard it uninstalled my display driver. i realise that sounds completely false and made up. literally device manager is like "yeah idk what the fuck that is". the amd software is like "no driver is installed for this".

a couple friends of mine made this cool short vibey little indie game that i would describe as "cognitively nutritious", they're the sorts of people you want making more stuff so you should go exchange some money for it
It'd be sick if you left a nice review and told all your pals. The people must know...

this is the most american post of all time
A former career DOJ guy told me a few weeks ago that prior to Trump, the FBI was the varsity team, DHI and ICE were junior varsity, and Border Patrol were like a drunken office softball team. And under Trump, the drunk softball guys are now in charge.
Listen to this Border Patrol agent cry about how he's going to be DOXXED after being arrested for drunkenly barging into a woman's restroom with a loaded gun, demanding a date from the woman inside, and then punching the arresting officers.

"can we please make the game on the assumption that whoever is playing has decided to so" has always got me blank stares at work unforch
it's certainly been frustrating to see devs say more and more "sorry guys but we need to make our games shout out every thing and handhold every last point so that someone who doesn't give a fuck about it can sleepwalk through it"
like why pander to people who, essentially, do not like your work?
