The conversation around 2026’s TGA winner is extra weird because GTA 6 will likely not make the cut-off lol. The game comes out on November 19th - the entire voting process is usually completely done by then.

A fun side note, all of the character animations are done in-game. I wrote some tools to help us record controller inputs and used our game's event and key bind systems to control the camera and a bunch of other things

In Star Trek people often complain that replicated food is not as good as naturally produced food, which is weird when replicators are presumably using the same technology as transporters, which can perfectly replicate Spock every time.

Stood on a train platform, and I swear I just witnessed one guy yell at his colleague “Anil! They changed the door code, right? 3410 yeah?! Anil! The door code!? It was 3410 yeah?” The second guy, presumably Anil, then came over and, in hushed tones, told him to shut the fuck up.

And for all those who doubt this'll work, please know they regulated the length of hat pins after women used them in self-defence: "The following year, legislators in New York argued that hatpins should not exceed 3 inches because of the physical damage they were doing to men across the nation."

This was, is, and always will be a brilliantly shit illustration of how stupidly self defeating business people can be. Forgoing the universal positive of a staff self-training on their own time, because of the vague fear that one in a hundred might make some money.
