/r/truegaming casual talk

Hey, all!

In this thread, the rules are more relaxed. The idea is that this megathread will provide a space for otherwise rule-breaking content, as well as allowing for a slightly more conversational tone rather than every post and comment needing to be an essay.

Top-level comments on this post should aim to follow the rules for submitting threads. However, the following rules are relaxed:

  • 3. Specificity, Clarity, and Detail
  • 4. No Advice
  • 5. No List Posts
  • 8. No topics that belong in other subreddits
  • 9. No Retired Topics
  • 11. Reviews must follow these guidelines

So feel free to talk about what you've been playing lately or ask for suggestions. Feel free to discuss gaming fatigue, FOMO, backlogs, etc, from the retired topics list. Feel free to take your half-baked idea for a post to the subreddit and discuss it here (you can still post it as its own thread later on if you want). Just keep things civil!

Also, as a reminder, we have a Discord server where you can have much more casual, free-form conversations! https://discord.gg/truegaming

The Game Awards is nice since I have no expectations on what'll be announced or wishing what game I want to win.

I also noticed that Geoff Keighley has taken all the criticisms about not mentioning the layoffs and gave way to that with him mentioning it, featuring Amir Satvat helping laid-off devs find new jobs, and letting Swen give out a speech around it.

The game awards were great for me because I did not know they were happening so my expectations were as low as they can go lol

It’s nice to have something recognized and consistent at this point. I remember the early years when there were a lot of awkward attempts as gaming was finding its footing as culturally accepted art at award shows and such that floundered hard. The Game Awards does seem really healthy for the medium even if they are not perfect.
