I think Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave is all but guaranteed a GOTY nomination at The Game Awards, which would make it the first strategy game* ever to get this recognition www.polygon.com/fire-emblem-...

Favourite movies of 2025. Tier 1: One Battle and Hard Truths. Tier 2: Everything from Bugonia to KPop. Tier 3: A Complete Unknown, which I enjoyed much more than it deserved

Just looking at the UK film release schedule for the first couple of months of next year and look at this for an absolute car crash of films I want to see releasing on a single day

Anyone out there that bets or trades on the outcome of The Game Awards? I'd love to talk to you for a piece I'm working on. DMs are open.
