Pet peeves: The return (Part 10)

More sincere, RL peeve, though. Genuinely wishing UBI was a thing, for everyone’s sake.

Confronted with indifference to my job, the reality I still need it for stability and healthcare, but family and friends are literally hundreds of miles away and…
Ugh. Can someone come purge these head gremlins, please and thank you? ._.

the reason it is, is because geoff fears a jrpg winning so badly he bent the rules on whats allowed. itll probably win because, and i do not mean this at folk here, ER players are…insufferable and numerous about how no other game but ER is good.

erdtree was mid. there i said it. it was mid. ringed city and old hunters clear it by miles.

The atrocities I have committed in RPGs and 4X games through the years would put most fascist governments to shame a hundred times over.

I’m very happy to burn the game worlds down.

Whereas in RPGs I play the nice playthrough, in real life I commit art fraud and kick dogs

Sounds great on paper, has disastrous consequences in practice and just overall isn’t long-term stable. It also doesn’t get rid of the actual economic inequalities because it isn’t enough to outweigh the rising costs that would occur across the board due to its introduction. Standardised Living Wage secured by a Lock is a better platform to campaign for when it comes to raising the lowest up.

Bureaucratic nitpicking aside, I get the sentiment :pensive:.

It was enjoyable but much like Veilguard not something I see myself really replaying. Some of the boss decisions were…interesting.

It’s weird that Rogue Trader (which falls in this 'year’s release window for Geoff’s awards) wasn’t nominated, snubbed I say, snubbed

I’m a bit sad knowing that Fallout won’t win the series/show/movie award because that was genuinely fantastic tv but it won’t have the feral votingbase that Arcane has

Oh wow, I wonder how many people actually get that ref :smile:

“I’m not that kind of lawyer-!” flees

I really hate Shadowlands and it’s lore. I wish I’d stop getting reminders of it -

Had a WoW dream last night. The full details aren’t important, but the core of it was yelling at Chromie.

Maidenless take.
(Ringed city and old hunters were better though, if only by a little)

shadow of the erdtree getting nominated for goty makes me unreasonably annoyed

this was the year of elden ring for me, and in the year that it was released and won goty i would say yes sir fantastic choice

but nominating a dlc that is essentially just more elden ring, and requires you to be pretty much in the endgame of the base game to play and is therefore not standalone getting up there instead of other candidates?

nah that ain’t right. because if it is, then phantom liberty was robbed because that should have been nominated last year if that’s how we’re playing the game now

rest of the list is fine though, i’ve played them all except wukong and it’s likely between rebirth and astrobot. balatro is an astonishing game but i can’t see it winning the title

Yeah, even if its a good dlc I’m not super into dlcs being treated as games for the purposes of industry awards.

That said I almost never play the sort of game that gets nominated for industry awards unless its some obscure thing like ‘grognard joe’s best spreadsheet simulator 2025’
