2017 is the only time in recent years where I felt compelled to actually play recent releases rather than getting them on sale years later, and even to this day I'm still discovering some games from then that I missed out on (I played Prey for the first time this year) that I'd go to bat for as a GOTY contender. It was ridiculously good year.

I mean, Taylor Swift and Carly Rae Jepsen don't sound much alike at all so that might say more about your listening than it does about their music

Just realised Disco Elysium isn't even in the GOTD poll :thunkher:

My picks were mainly based on industry impact rather than just being good. If it was like best of the best it'd be a different poll

E: like if I were to do a GOTD thread I'd have two categories for this reason: impact and 'best'

Doom 2016?

The beginning of the Renaissance of the boomer shooter. After 2016 caused a huge splash you saw games like amid evil / dusk /maximum action / prodeus / ion fury start to get picked up. Like I cannot imagine getting a new build engine game in loving 2019 without doom 2016 being such a hit

I really hope the industry learns from disco though, it's genuinely incredible and imo is a very strong contender for best of the decade

Carly shook her glass, willing the ice to melt. "You still haven't told me what the mission is."

She leaned forward. "We are going to assassinate the bad men of Hollywood."


EMOTION is the greatest pop album of the 2010s, possibly ever.

I'm pretty lukewarm on Taylor's music in general (definitely has some bangers), but I hadn't heard she was a bad person in any specific way.

Folklore is an album thats full of songs you won't be upset to hear while waiting for Taylor Swift to play her other hits during a concert, but like, if that was all the music she'd ever made you probably wouldn't be there.

Exactly this. Imagine saying it's a better record than Run the Jewels, Dan Deacon, Fiona Apple, King Gizzard, Tricky, Four Tet... and that's just off the top of my head

Body Talk was probably the single most influential album of the entire decade and ushered in that entire wave of crying on the dance floor pop. I can't believe it's 10 years old because it still feels so modern.

Eden is a cool game but just from my limited playtime, I'm sure there's some sort of optimal strategy in terms of making a deck of a reasonable size for the purposes of actually being able to tell at a glance what attack you have loaded at any given time, but I got to the final boss with my strategy of "just take any item that hits four panels in front of you so you don't have to worry about aiming at all"

You might be right but also it is 100% a winning strategy to load up on easy-to-hit spells, a bunch of mana regen, and just spam spells as much as possible.
