Today we will discuss which game should win our award for "Best Platformer" and who should receive our "Rainbow Yo-Noid" award for the most pathetic corporate virtue signal.
Please consider what you would like to argue should be the winning item for each of the passing categories.
Additionally, consider who you would like to nominate as your electors. You may choose 3 electors to cast votes for you on your behalf. Persuade them as necessary. You may choose yourself once. The top 12 most nominated electors will assemble as our electoral tribunal, and will vote on the final categories. Feel free to message me directly with your nomination, or comment your nominations publicly. The electors are allowed to vote their own conscience.
Most pathetic corporate virtue signal :
Do we need archives of it?
Soyny saying BLM destroying shit was okay is my vote.
That would certainly help if you had the archives of it. We want to give an award to something that happened, not just something we remember having happened.

It is also in the spirit of gamergate to be able to present unalterable proof. As an added optics bonus.

I'm sure an archive exists, but I can't find it.
Someone should check Reddit KIA2.

I vote this guy gor elector just too see the shit show
We need a strong voice for misogyny.
How did you find my political campaign slogan?
Votes Fortnite : Battle Royale as Game of The Year
Well well, if it isn't the consequences of my actions
Jokes aside, I won't do that. I was thinking Sekiro, but apparently that came out last year.
I said the electors can vote their conscience. I never said that it has to come out this year.
Preferably, in an ideal world, all the games would come out this year. But if you think it should go to something else anyway...
how about Ghost?
I don't have a Soyny console.
That's one, you can chose 2 others.
Gizortnik and TheAndreal
Rainbow Yo-Noid: “Cities can rebuild.” - Sony
Do you have the archive of that?
Square Enix donated a bunch of money to BLM, LGBT shit and created an LGBT mascot for Pride month
Oh my god... it actually is a Rainbow Yo-Noid!
Not sure if it was the most pathetic corporate virtue signal, but certainly funniest was Bethesda's various regional accounts celebrating or not celebrating rainbow diversity.
It's probably a crime in some of those places...
That one's pretty bad.
"We definitely support the queer revolution! But in any place where it would matter!"

I'll back Ori 2. It was at least as good as the first, and the story had impact in a good way; dealing with loss (fucking constantly) and understanding why even though an adversary's story may be sad and relatable, they still need to be dealt with. No woke shit, no bi-trans animals to interact with, just classic action done extraordinarily well.
One game I hesitated finishing because I didn't want it to end.
Ok, now this is a little out there compared to the usual super meat boy or n millionth retro pixel cash-in trash that people associate with the genre. But what about nominating BoneworksVR for the best platformer?
It's not strictly purely platformer, but the puzzle sections where you can procedurally run/jump/climb/build-a-wonky-fucking-tower to victory really are one of it's better selling points and it's one of the few games I can think of this that have really done anything novel in gameplay about getting A->B.
Plus it's making humanity better as it culls the weak who will die to the intense motion sickness on the way.
Dunno who I want as Electors though. Fuck it, I'll throw a vote in for Dom since he's already taken the initiative to get the ball rolling. I'll try and think up another two.
TIL that there are people who actually bought VR headsets.
Legit about 3/4 of the people I've had over to try it out have decided they want to get one themselves.
I don't do early adopter bullshit, only decided they had enough support this year to get one, but there's enough decent games now to be worth it as-is, if you have the money and can be arsed with the setup effort.
Beat Saber alone is a big selling point, it's hitting that same niche as guitar hero used to. throw it at anyone, especially the nominally non-gamers and they're going to have a good time.
Hah, yeah that game still gives me the sweats if I go too long.
I don't have any objections to BoneworksVR as best platformer. I think the electors should vote their conscience, so if they want to make some kind of protest vote to demonstrate how shit the industry was being, I say we take that anyway.
You don't have to vote immediately on who you want to be your electors.
Part of the benefit of this is seeing what people are aiming for, and rallying behind those people as they come out.
I'd like to avoid being an elector for procedural reasons, but I'll do it if needed.
As such, I've added myself as your first nomination. You have 2 more available.
I second Boneworks, after I got over the headaches. It's the Super Mario of VR.
For best platform, I was expecting to nominate Silksong. Alas....
Why, what happened?
It still hasn't come out, last update was a year ago
tragic
I want to commission an artist for this award to draw a picture of the Noid in rainbow colors, but with the word "QUEER" plastered across his chest.
I haven't played a platformer in awhile and there's so much corporate virtue signal, it's hard pin anything down. So I'll just nominate X4: Foundations patch 3.30 for best space pew pew game of 2020.
Microsoft selling a keyboard with an extremist variant of the gay flag.
Can you link me a picture of it?
