[games-adjacent] Goddamn, the game news site I follow is pulling NO punches with its Game Awards coverage.

Honestly I'm here for it

the business is literally worth more to the event partners than Neil Newbon tearfully trying to thank the community for reaching out to him, which is why Gonzo and Camilla the chicken got two minutes to do jokes and Neil got steel-chaired by the get-off-stage-music after sixty seconds.

I’m still so angry about that

In the golden joysticks he was able to make a very heartfelt speech about survivors of abuse

From his own experience and the experience shared by players who grew attached to Astarion

That sounded beautiful, and I'm really glad he got an opportunity that wasn't the Game Awards to share it :|

Neil Newbon is a great guy and he himself wrote up the character. He’s very attached to Astarion

I know not everyone is gonna agree with me, and fair. But BG3 deserved the sweep.
