its the finance committee for the res hall association at my school. im the chair, primarily we vote on funding events/programs, but we didnt have many events today so we had extra time

ppl wanted to play mafia but with 12 ppl and like 25 minutes including explanation and setup, normal wouldnt work, so I did popcorn and it worked pretty well

I mean what even is metaphor: refantazio and astro bot
I’ve never heard of them until now
balatro is okay but should be nowhere near the goty category, nevermind being nominated for it
and ok like sure black myth wukong & ff vii rebirth being there is not my thing but fine
elden ring is probably the only one that I could solidly say deserves to be there

like it was objectively the best game of 2023 but the awards were a lot less interesting as a result

Rebirth solidly deserves to be there. I think Shadow of the Erdtree is more debatable given it’s a DLC. But yeah the pool is definitely shallow this year.
