Quoting: Tethys84I stopped voting in these a while back. I just don't see why it matters. Why does anyone care what the game of the year is? Whats the incentive? I'd rather spend my time playing the games than care about who gets what award.
Sharing your nominations with friends, comparing them and maybe find games you haven't considered playing before. It's basically a quick and easy way to recommend games to others

Hopefully retail projects like selaco will move over to this new fork
Selaco is already using their own fork, so it doesn't really affect them

Happy Birthday GoL! I've "only" known the site for about 6 years (pretty much since the release of Proton), but it has become my favorite gaming news resource!

Latest Steam Client Beta fixes Linux and Steam Deck issues, tweaks screenshots

That Linux fix is especially good, because honestly I thought I was going mad with how Steam was being so unresponsive lately, and couldn't figure out what was causing it and it seems others I spoke to saw it working fine. Turns out it was a bug and now it's fixed.
The funny thing is it was already fixed some updates ago but then it returned. I'm glad it didn't take ages to fix it this time

Quoting: CyberwormThe term "boomer shooter" refers to the "30 year old boomer" meme who likes to drink Monster Energy Zero Ultra White and playing old shooters like Doom or Duke Nukem 3D. It's not directly related to Baby Boomers

yes that's the joke of the meme
