D'oh! Somehow I didn't log into lemmy in over a month and totally missed this. Sorry to waste your time and I hope the person who did win is very happy.

Elden Ring. I've never really played a souls game, and it looks really great.
Not a lot of joy this year, got laid off last year and now find myself in a job where I'm making less and commuting more, but there were a couple of bright spots. I've been running a D&D game set in Mythic Greece, and it's been the best TTRPG I've run or played in years - my players have been absolutely loving it. Plus, I recently spoke to a retirement advisor and found that I'm in very good shape to retire in 10 years, and that makes me very happy.
Thanks for doing this. Happy Holidays!
In Enderal (an absolutely amazing, totally free game that runs on the Skyrim engine - if you own Skyrim you owe it to yourself to play Enderal), at the end of Esme's questline, sitting on top of the lighthouse and discussing the events of her story.

Gods yes. What a brilliant piece of writing that DLC was - simultaneously hilarious and deeply poignant.
Can't log in or view the site with liftoff, sadly.
Yes, from the poster for the movie "Stripes".
Glib (though truthful) answers aside, I thought this was a good read. Thank you for posting it.
After finishing a playthrough of Baldur's Gate 3, I'm now on Tiny Tina's Wonderlands. Fun, but nowhere near as good as the original Tiny Tina DLC for BL2. Still, I'm 26 hours in and I'll definitely finish it. After that... maybe I'll go back and do a different run of BG3. I'm looking forward to getting back to CP2077 and picking up Phantom Liberty, but I'm going to wait for that to be on some sort of sale.
Played Outer Worlds earlier this year, and I agree with your assessment. I did play Fallout New Vegas later on, and while New Vegas felt bigger, I think I enjoyed Outer Worlds a bit more. Mainly I think the humor hit more consistently FOR ME in OW, and I really think the humor kind of makes the game. But of course humor is very subjective, so I understand why a lot of people prefer FNV (not to mention it has a certain built-in cachet from all the other Fallout games).
Anyway, I enjoyed it, I'm glad I played it through to the end, but I wouldn't play it again (e.g. to try different playstyles or run through with different companions). Glad you are also enjoying it!
Still playing BG3. About 120 hours in, still my first playthrough, but I think I'm getting close to the end. Wouldn't be surprised if it takes me another 15-20 hours to get there though. After that I need to decide if I want to play through again with different characters/choices, or do something else first (recently got Tiny Tina in a bundle and looking forward to playing that).
Congratulations and good work! Thanks for all your efforts.
