Just got my covid and flu vaccine updates today!

Games for Impact: Wanderstop. This is a game that wasn't talked about nearly enough and likely never will.

Outside that, Peak deserves it. Hades 2 easily the best action. NMS still deserves praise cause they won't stop. And Lego Party is severely underrated

Audio Design: Battlefield 6 and it isn't even close. The sound of the warzone around you is beyond immersive.
Best Debut Game: Blue Prince. I still haven't even played it and this game changed how people view video games and puzzles.
Best Independent Game: Silksong. E33 has enough awards, Silksong.

That's not to say the games didn't have scary elements or survival elements up through 4. But RE was never all horror. That belong to games like Silent Hill, Alone in the Dark, and other horror classics. Im just so tired of the rose tinted gatekeeping dumbasses

Newsflash, the games have always been this level of corny B movie nonsense since the beginning. It never was JUST THE ZOMBIES. RE1 had giant snake, giant plant monster, giant shark. RE2 had Mr. X, Lickers, Giant Alligator. RE3 had Nemesis.

I'm feeling less and less sore too! But it's so clear my upper body is the weakest. Which makes me sad as I used to work in construction. It also makes me super determined to keep it up
