1/8 INCOMING LOVEFEST THREAD!
We played a LOT of games in 2022. And fell in love with a lot of them as well. Now while they all can't get #GOTY, we can give out a bunch of silly awards to show these games just how much they mean to us.

Our 'The Bob Barker Award' goes to none other than @rednexusgames for Peglin!
"This game lets me live out my Plinko dreams and does fun things to my brain."
Congrats @DylanGedig! We gotta bring you back on the show again real soon.

Our 'The Best RPG That None Of Us Talked About Award' goes to @ChainedEchoes!
@arkheiral is our hero. We didn't talk about your amazing game at all in 2022. Let's fix that. We have a cozy spot waiting for you on our podcast.

Anyway I finished the main story in Legends Arceus and I can say pretty confidently that this is likely a #goty list game for me
It's basically someone looking at the Pokemon franchise and asking, pretty mercilessly, "is this actually fun to do"
Being something between a spinoff and a main series game, it's able to just end so many seemingly immutable things about the franchise in the name of convenience.

Super Auto Pets by @TeamWoodGames is a simple, yet surprisingly deep auto-battler. Its true genius lies in its laid-back asynchronous format. You can play a full run in 10 minutes without ever waiting for anyone, but also take breaks anytime.

Roguebook (@PlayRoguebook) is the best #roguelike deck-builder of 2021 for me. It didn't really break genre conventions, but did enough to stand on its own (such as heroes switching positions all the time for special effects, or the overworld map exploration part).

Gem Wizards Tactics is a true @keithburgun game in how it boils down tactical combat to where it's at its most interesting and builds an intricate, massively replayable system of emergent depth on top of that. So many unique situations and creative combos to explore!

Some things that need to be considered when choosing #GOTY. A thread.
1. A game is multiple parts. It's gameplay, audio, writing, graphics, and length/replay value. It's not 1 thing. It's all 5 things. A game with great writing and shit gameplay isn't GOTY. A game with great

gameplay & shit writing isn't GOTY. GOTY is the game that addresses all 5 topics the best cumulatively. Very few games do all 5 well. But a game that does the fewest in the group well shouldn't be considered GOTY even if it does 1 or 2 of the parts better than the other nominees.
2. Length is subjective but directly tied to value. Longer doesn't mean better. Shorter doesn't mean bad. But the comparative value of 1 game to another in a competitive space dictates that a longer game is better assuming both games are the length they need to be.
