I'm trying to be objective: Pony Island does not have enough argument to be GOTY. The gameplay is tedious and the gimmicks only work for the first playthrough. Plus I was stuck for too long looking for a little missingno square on the adventure map.
Next, I'll hear is that Stop, Dude is amazingly transgressive. Come on, it is a game about funny gimmicks which only work once.
The second one is not a Steam key, it's a key for the VIP corner of Bandai Namco.

So turns out that multi-select with Steam Economy Enhancer on Edge does work, it's just that the visual effect is really subtle. Also, control clicking in Edge causes a new window to be opened, which can be a little annoying.
I got a 66% coupon for The Deer, a game which is 99 cents without a coupon.

If you're under the 2 hours, you're just guaranteed a refund, over 2 hours you can still request one and explain yourself and there's a decent chance it will be honored.

Just finished up playing Hitman GO to completion. Which turned out to be a surprisingly fun little puzzle game for me. Simple concept and gameplay, and a handful of level objectives that had me stumped looking at Youtube guides. Well worth the sale price I paid. Is the Lara Croft edition just as good, and does it differ enough from the Hitman edition? Wouldn't mind trying it if this is the case.

See, now I cant tell if you're joking or not. Because if you're serious, than you have this arbitrary notion of what a game of the year is, and my kidding about your opinions being worthless will stop being a joke fast.
Pony Island was my favorite gaming experience this year, nothing came close. I dont give a fuck it only works once, I dont replay games, replay value is not one of my criteria for if a game is good or not. It had one of my favorite moments ever in a videogame. I loved the idea, the implementation, the writing, the puzzles and it resonated with me like no other game did. And thats why its my goty. I value originality a lot these days, which is why games like Dark Souls 3 or XCOM 2 are low on my list, they felt very much like been there done that. Doom is there because it completely surprised me and it does what it does almost flawlesslu, but I can guarantee that for example if there was a Doom 2 next year, it wouldnt rank high.

LC Go is fantastic. It's an incredibly smart and well crafted evolution of the Go series. They put a ton of thought and effort in both figuring out how to expand on the formula and how to translate Tomb Raider to a turn-based puzzle format

The GDC talk on that process is very informative: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gn4MzuvliDs

Thea's autoresolve is generally pretty fair, but for close battles you're better off manually resolving it. The main thing to keep in mind is what you're facing and how you decide to attack the challenge; like, bears are about as helpful as you'd expect in a social challenge vs. a fighting challenge. So long as you have one character that excels in a given non-fighting challenge, you should have a decent chance at success.
Fighting enemies martially is only really worth it when you can win without being badly wounded. Non-fighting challenges do not put characters in peril by virtue of being defeated like that. And further, autoresolve is hard on low-HP characters in a way that the player doesn't have to be.
It's really impressive how well Thea uses all of the stats flying around. It isn't surfaced very well, but they use it in the game to great effect. (From combat to dialog to events, all stats matter.)
Maybe now it is closer, but I play both MH & DD and can tell the difference. DD is faster pace. I would put GE in-between, more towards MH.
(I am currently playing GE on and off)

GOTY:
(5 Points) - Oxenfree
(4 Points) - INSIDE
(3 Points) - Pony Island
(2 Points) - Mafia III
(1 Point) - ABZÛ
I think Oxenfree should win GOTY because... it's an enjoyable adventure game with a great atmosphere and well-written dialogs.
DLC:
(3 Points) - The Witcher 3: Blood and Wine
I think The Witcher 3: Blood and Wine should win DLC of the Year because... it's my actual GOTY

2016's 2015's 2013 GOTY if we're counting the mobile version
Exciting things happening with Elite Dangerous today. First Contact with living aliens!

Experienced it myself, but I don't have any video of my encounter.

It's the same as running two games at once, drop rate slows down.
Are there no aliens previously encountered/mentioned in the game? That's awesome if so.

It's my birthday and I ain't got shit to give any of y'all.
Just trying to see if I can use Birthday guilt to get Rtcn63 and Uncredited Male to finally get an avatar. It would be the best gift if you two did that for me.

Avatars trigger me in the same way as comments by TEW haters and Doom 2016 lovers
They existed in previous Elite games, but Elite Dangerous kind of updated the canon. Since the game launched, there have only been unknown artifacts, barnacles, and a few alien wrecks. Nothing with live aliens.

A trigger worth having
Interesting...also, how can Idlemaster be logged in at the same time as Steam if I can't play games on two Steam clients at the same time?
You're not logged into Idle Master and Steam at the same time. It piggybacks off of your Steam client session and spoofs app IDs to cycle through different games.
Not really, its more like MH. You are in a central area where you craft, accept missions, read lore , and other stuff.
Missions have some different maps.

They had a 33% discount on the game and season pass during the Black Friday sale, not sure about the Winter Sale but most likely the same.
