    If we are including remakes which CoDBlOPsGhost game should we give the award to? CoDmWopBlom2?

    Destiny 2 Beyond Light is very good, although Destiny players hate it because of the sunsetting stuff but imo that stuff was good because there were too many guns.

    If Cyberpunk releases in 2020, it should be considered for 2020 GOTY. Hold the awards show in January.

    yeah i've definitely learned in my life not to let them know just how much i can do because working hard just gets you stuck with more bullshit no one else wants to do

    which i think implies something wrong with the way we do things

    I agree with this tweet.

    Half Life Alyx was awesome and it's disappointing more people didn't get to play it

    but that also shouldn't exempt it from GOTY, because it's WAY better than multiple games on that list.

    Also Hades is good but I liked FF7 Remake better. But this is maybe partially due to Hades kicking my ass a lot harder.

    It looked like a game I would really, really like to play that was gated behind over 1000 dollars of specialized hardware that doesn't have much else like it on there.

    I think Valve was betting on Alyx kicking off mainstream VR, and I don't really see a bunch of evidence supporting it.

    If I were better at time management I could easily do this but the only way I can effectively manage my time is to agree to run every meeting I can so I end up just filling my calendar and then just slack between meetings. I should find a way to schedule everything in three days a week and then like ski the other two days.

    I mean, you can get into VR for a lot less than 1000 dollars.

    Unless you're including the cost of a gaming PC with it for some reason, which always seemed a little silly to me.

    I play all VR standing up, for sure, aside from games like Squadrons that don't have motion control

    It's a little tricky in a one bedroom apartment but I can set something up

    I definitely punched a bottle of gin across the room while playing a medieval combat game

    my greatest skill is probably my ability to just knuckle down and get my work done first so it's out of the way and i never have to rush to finish things

    but it also reveals just how much of my work day is unnecessary

    i don't really mind having to be available 40 hours a week, just it's entirely unnecessary to be confined to a desk all of those hours most weeks

    Games I bought in 2020:
    Sayonara Wild Hearts
    Pathfinder:Kingmaker
    One Step From Eden
    XCOM:Chimera Squad
    persona 4 golden
    Hades
    ONI
    Control (haven’t played it yet)
    Disco Elysium

    In addition, I played LoL, Rimworld, DS3, and some 4x games

    Hades is hands down goty for me.

    I also very much am enjoying Disco Elysium, and DS3 (when I play it, which is not recently but it is a great game), and League (always)

    Second tier: Chimera squad was cute and One Step From Eden and Sayonara Wild Hearts were nice focused experiences.

    ?? Tier: Pathfinder is fine but I don’t know, it is lacking some flair that would make it really special to me. I stopped playing about 5/6 of the way through and not sure if I will resume.

    Transphobia tier: probably best not to play P4G lol, depending on how much tolerance you have for that sort of thing

    A 1060 can do VR super well! A 970 can do VR with some of the graphics turned down. A gaming PC that can do VR is not a super crazy thing. I did HL Alyx on a 1060 and an i7-4770 from like 7 years ago

    I find that I am very fast about doing work if other people depend on it. Like if someone says I need this dataset as an input into my visualization, I will do the data engineering to make that happen as fast as possible and run my code in the evening for same day turnaround, etc.
