I was going to do the dril candles tweet but about horny games but in my search to find the exact text to copy i found out there's a dril wiki and people write interpretations of dril tweets and it's weird

quote:

Dril wrote this tweet through the perspective of someone who has a great love of candles, to the point where they spend such an exorbitant amount of money on them while neglecting the needs of their family. For most nuclear families, a $200 a month food budget is grossly inadequate for nourishing all of the household members. Furthermore, dril's ignorance is magnified with request of budgetary assistance from "someone who is good at the economy." To create a practical and balanced home budget, one would simply need to have an understanding of basic mathematical skills as well as a knowledge of the wants and needs of their household. An economic expert like the one dril requests is quite overqualified for the needs of this situation.

Response to the candles tweet was swift and nearly unanimously positive. The tweet also birthed a secondary life thanks to Twitter responder @craigus12, who suggested that dril simply "spend less on candles", an idea that dril quickly rebuked ("no"). Craigus12 warned dril that his candle fetish would lead to the demise of his family. In 2016, @pilarrianne1700 again told dril to cut back on his candle spending. After acknowledging the length of time between the original tweet and her response, dril admitted that his wife had left him and he no longer had custody of his children. However, he was still wild about candles.

At some point, a financial services blog called MomsvsDebt used the candles tweet and the "spend less on candles" response as an example about how to approach a home budget without spending money on useless trinkets. The comments section quickly erupted into users calling the blog's author Amanda Krill a moron for not noticing the inherently sarcastic and facetious style the tweet was written in and thinking that it was based on a real situation, while other commenters simply posted their favorite dril quotes. However, Amanda did acknowledge in an update of the blog post that she was aware the tweet was a joke. As of June 2017, the blog post was taken down.

There are certainly a lot of games I enjoyed this year but I find myself wondering how outstanding they really were. The Outer Wilds is my GotY, no doubt, but there are others like Ace Combat 7 or DMCV that were great, but I also chalk them up to doing nothing more than what was expected from them. I'll end up ranking some out of the field games that weren't even released this year again.

I think part of it is my own fault for knowing I have a terrible memory for this kind of stuff and forgetting a lot of what I've played. I started keeping a notebook on my desk for taking notes while I play and hopefully that will help come this time next year to remind me what I liked and why.

I always enjoyed how Retro tried to salvage that by having it just be the underarmor everyone wears so you'd see guys in lovely skintight spandex in Metroid Prime 3 when they're not about to go on a mission and they look just as stupid

GDQ has a big issue with banning people for only saying the magic gamer words and basically nothing else, so there's a lot of alt-right boys with exciting views on women, lgbtq, and minorities in the community they tacitly accept

That's apparently another team at Ninja Theory making Bleeding Edge, the Hellblade team recently announced a separate project involving video games and mental health therapy.

I vaguely remember some drama video about a guy who got banned for GDQ for making a "trigger warning" joke in reference to Devil May Cry, which had a "devil trigger" thing going on. The rest of the video was mostly trying to complain about how many trans people and SJWs were on GDQ or part of the organization and IIRC the guy making that video was really just one of the shitheads mentioned above and I was really pissed at having had watched the whole thing.

Personally my only issues with GDQ have to do with the donations and donation reading, which bleeds into official GDQ speedrun videos. Instead of showing the game and commentary from the start, there's always a 10-15 minute preamble of people shuffling around and just on-screen graphics of poo poo nobody has ever read or looked at. It's also just kind of obnoxious or a bummer mid-run to hear infinity variations of "cancer sux! lets kick cancers a$$."
