[@Space_BBQ]

Great we've seen Rebecca's game of the year. We don't need to tune in tomorrow.

[@Too_Tall_64]

That's why we subscribe to Nerdcubed; For Rebecca~

[@iblame_nargles]

The only important award, finally

[@z-beeblebrox]

3:25 Dan you can find 4 color card decks! They're fairly common for trick taking games to prevent player error. Although typically clubs are green and diamonds are blue.

[@starpe__251]

Even Steven is the best early game joker in the game and you WILL put respect on his name

[@hugobouma]

So it's _Newspapers, Please_ ?

[@TsZen876]

my thoughts exactly

[@Smegheid]

Waiting for Dan to proclaim Hard Time as GOTY just to troll the absolute crap out of us all… :)

[@alexbailey791]

From the amount of times they have talked about this game on the patron podcast, I am not surprised.

[@jackmason6323]

@jackmason6323 my b. Thanks.

[@bendubz9000]

So what are we thinking wins tomorrow? Surely either Astro Bot or Balatro, right?

[@TheWelshV1king]

Both have won already so they can't

[@nickhelvey5532]

@@TheWelshV1kinghe changed it to where if the games can be put on a previous list and still win GOTY

[@remokortbeek]

I'm rooting for UFO 50

[@exodore2000]

Shadow of the Erdtree.

[@officialtibby]

great award, but even stevens slander will not be tolerated

[@The-Grey-Queen]

the card that give mult for evens is pretty good actually. great for hack builds.

[@joshuatheawesome9440]

Tell Rebecca they should start the art channel back up, I miss it.

[@rem9750]

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays everyone! Currently 8:47am in Australia

[@CWRules]

2:54 What is this Even Steven disrespect? You'll never keep it for the full run but it's a great early tempo joker.

[@alephnull3535]

Petition for Dan to issue a formal apology to Even Steven

[@Wrigley953]

He could’ve at least dunked on odd todd, I scoff at chips but a 4x milt for like half of the numbers? That’s a fucking boon

[@MrMcJazzhands]

It's me, I'm the person that uses Even Steven and gets really excited whenever it comes up.

[@justinmease997]

[@ugIybeatz]

3:23 I believe that's called Uno

[@spectre_1263]

Can confirm News Tower has immediately peeked my interest and I've wishlisted it

[@CaptNSquared]

I wishlisted it and then we said the thing about peaking people's interest

[@WackoMcGoose]

Zachtronics mentioned 👀 Still hilarious that he became known for his _solitaire variants_ just as much as _the actual programming games themselves..._

[@Allesef]

I got back into this recently. Unlocked a new deck, and now I've only got one deck left to unlock... However, it's christmas and I just got a handful of new games to sink my time into. I'll be back.

[@sorio99]

14.5/23. You know, it’s gonna be weird to end the year’s score with a decimal. My prediction for Game of the Year: oh, this is difficult. I’m gonna list three options, if one is winner I’ll take the point, if not, I’ll take the L. Astro Bot Balatro Planet Coaster 2 God, why am I tense about this?

[@ChristianGiuseppe]

I do believe that Balatro will be his game of the year

[@bugberrycloth5327]

Love your videos as always Dan!

[@david77nathangmail]

I need a stream of this newspaper game

[@CaptNSquared]

I... I always love seeing Even Steven and Odd Tod...

[@yzgrdyn-WiseGuardian-]

Wonder if "Rules may Change" and "The Game of the Year Will be a Mentioned Game" means one will be true and the other a lie.

[@exodore2000]

I use to love sim tower.

[@Owieyoutube]

In that case I seriously recommend High Rise!❤

[@exodore2000]

@@Owieyoutube I'll have to check it out some time then.

[@pyrolyzed4314]

My prediction for GOTY is UFO 50. Mostly because I personally want it to win.

[@Hyperchicken]

He already awarded that earlier - I can’t remember from previous years, does he give the GOTY award to a game he’s already listed during the awards?

[@pyrolyzed4314]

@@Hyperchicken He used to have it so the GOTY winner wasn't a previous award, but is doing it differently this year where the GOTY winner will have won a previous award. His reasoning for this was it was very easy to predict GOTY because it was just "the game he hasn't talked about yet".

[@aliirisdawn5271]

No shadows of doubt???

[@Izzalicious]

TIL that Rebecca uses they/them pronouns! It's a tiny thing but someone respecting their partner's choices is so lovely

[@kennyball3385]

My pronouns are sod/off

[@TotallyOriginality]

@@kennyball3385 you must have failed english class, that's a noun and Off depends on how its used but never a pronoun

[@Emmepathic]

As a trans person my partner is my lifeline in a world that says "ick" and "sir" when they see me in a dress and makeup looking curvy as fuck with my c cups

[@hebl47]

@@TotallyOriginality Hey, if *sod* wishes to use these pronouns you have to respect kenyball's choices and not correct *off.*

[@hyphz]

Balatro winds me up at this point. It's effectively random whether or not a deal is winnable. It's polished (especially so given that the game engine is a low level one which doesn't do any of that stuff for you) and a nice idea but it just doesn't matter how you play.

[@101lwx]

At higher stakes this is somewhat true but on lower stakes not really obviously there is a degree of rng to it but moment to moment decision making still matters a lot

[@sorio99]

So it’s a roguelike.

[@alephnull3535]

This is how everyone who is bad at roguelikes talks about roguelikes

[@gamechannelminecraft6583]

Cool🐼

[@Nereosis16]

I don't think having 20 videos going over one game is interesting ro watch at all. Why wouldn't you just do 1 or 2 longer videos with a theme? I don't get it.

[@101lwx]

yeah youre right dan should listen to you instead of the thousands of people who do enjoy the format

[@whoisthisguy128]

>I don't think having 24 windows containing one item is interesting ro open at all. Why wouldn't you just do 1 or 2 windows with a bunch? yeah, advent calendars will never catch on
