#The Game Awards

Late to the TGA talk but award shows have always been corporate circle-backpat ceremonies to me, and I hate how they further the existing toxicity of gamer culture, having seen friends get really sweaty about them.

Plus, as someone who mainly plays deep-cut low-to-mid-budget games like shmups ("What's a shmup? Oh you mean those impossible bullet hell games"), arcade games old and new (which haven't been "valid" as games since the 80s or so), and mobile rhythm games (Westerner repellant), I don't expect to see my favorites ever be nominated, except for post-classic Monster Hunter.

If something in the vein of Arcaea or Crimzon Clover were to actually be nominated, I'd probably assume I've ended up in a different timeline and need to get back to my own lmao

Game Awards 2024 Predictions

Just using good old trend projection to figure this one out early, provided this happens at all.

  • The show has been "optimized" to fill 4 hours instead of 3 and a half by introducing a hard 5 second limit for acceptance speeches to allow more trailers and anti-vape ads.
  • All awards except Game of the Year will be given in the quick list format for further "optimization".
  • The middle of the show will be two randomly selected episodes of The Muppets which will differ per viewer by using the latest in ad tracking technology.
  • All present are forbidden to mention the World War III going on outside.
  • Armed guards are present outside of and throughout the theater to prevent any attempts at making the show more interesting.
  • There is now a "best use of AI" category.
  • All "best indie game" nominees are published by Nexon or Annapurna.
  • GTA VI wins "most anticipated".
  • The Last of Us still wins an award even if they didn't release anything that year.
