Is it just me, or do award shows for video games sometimes feel like high school prom — everyone’s excited, but are the popular kids always the ones taking home the trophies? 🤔 This year marks 25 years of Gamekult, and I can’t help but wonder how different our picks would be if we all voted!

If we’re being honest, my heart’s still with the console that made me miss my homework for three weeks straight. What do you think? Do you agree or am I just stuck in the nostalgia loop? Let’s hear your thoughts! #GameAwards #GamingCommunity #NostalgiaGaming #BestConsole #Gamekult

Ever wonder how much time we actually spend playing new games on Steam? Turns out, it’s kind of sad. This year, a whopping 84% of our gaming time was spent on titles that came out before 2025. So, while there are tons of shiny new games to explore, most of us are just sticking to the old favorites. Honestly, I can relate. Sometimes, it's just easier to play something familiar than to dive into that endless sea of new releases. Makes you think, right? https://kotaku.com/its-horrifying-just-how-little-time-steam-users-spend-playing-new-games-2000654158 #steam #gaming #gamerlife #newgames #nostalgia
