Nothing will make me watch this thing live. The ability to fast forward is essential for this show and I do so through 80% of the duration.

Yeah I know what you mean. They try really hard to emulate the pace and speeches/etc of other award shows, but those are the same things that make those award shows so boring and overly-long.
QubaXR@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Yea, I typically also don’t care much for their live performances, the orchestra and “funny commercial interruptions” not to mention endless Game Pass ads.

I’m going to watch it through Tamaryn Payne’s stream. She’s the actress of Lohse in DOS 2 and Mizora in BG3. With any luck she can make it entertaining.

Can’t wait for another year of Milf Hunter win a deck and reformed Orthodox Rabbi getting nominated!

I will totally not be watching the game awards tomorrow instead of working (from home).

I have a small TV above my desk where I usually keep the security cameras around the house displayed. It’s perfect though for tracking nasty weather or watching things while I work.

From the official rules:
Once you provide the required information and submit the form you will receive one (1) entry into the Sweepstakes. After you submit the form you will have the opportunity to earn up to three (3) additional entries. [snip]
a) Create a Steam account. [snip]
Okay, that’s doable, I guess most people have one already
b) Click the ‘follow’ button to follow @summergamefest on X. [snip]
Suuuuure. Who in their right mind would willingly go on X?
c) Click the ‘follow’ button to follow @thegameawards on X. [snip]
Again X? How much did Elon pay them?

Can you claim it if you’re not American?
soulsource@discuss.tchncs.de 11 months ago
Yes, the list of countries that are allowed to participate is on the website.
Australia is not on the list, for instance, but most of Europe is.

Skill-testing question required for residents of Canada.
that’s cold
HoloPengin@lemmy.world 11 months ago
It’s just regulation. No sweepstakes allowed without some “skill” involved
mateomaui@reddthat.com 11 months ago
I figured, but without explanation and in the barebones context, it’s amusing, like Canadians have to earn the privilege for some reason. If other countries had a similar requirement it wouldn’t stand out, but it looks like you’re being singled out because of it.
blindsight@beehaw.org 11 months ago
It’s a legal loophole to get around our gambling regulations. Raffles are regulated, but tests of skill can be rewarded.
So now it’s a raffle followed by a “skill testing” authentic question.

Residents of Quebec province are also usually excluded from sweepstakes.
mateomaui@reddthat.com 11 months ago
Now that’s a bummer.
Kecessa@sh.itjust.works 11 months ago
Yep, all prizes need to be handled by Loto-Quebec or something of the sort, can’t remember the details, but the skill test might be enough to bypass it 🤔

Skill issue

I’m not using Xitter unfortunately 😔

How do we subscribe ?
Kyoyeou@slrpnk.net 11 months ago
I’ll be checking if there is any tiny words about Titanfall 3, so I might as well try my luck I guess
trolder@fedia.io 11 months ago
Thanks for not including legal residents of Australia for people viable to join.

!RemindMe 30 hours
morgan_423@lemmy.world 11 months ago
I… don’t think that’s a thing that works on Lemmy.

WELL THEN GET TO WORK
otter@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 months ago
Generally, it’s more a tongue-in-cheek reminder for me. 😅

It appears to only be accepting US zip codes

The reward website is havi
anguo@lemmy.ca 11 months ago
I mean, after refreshing a bunch of times because the “website is updating”, you’ll get there. I tried using a family member’s European postal code and it worked, but I think it’s only because it’s identical to an US one. My Canadian zip code just immediately turned the field red.
cooopsspace@infosec.pub 11 months ago
Just fucking sell me one in Australia please.
topinambour_rex@lemmy.world 11 months ago
How much are you ready to pay ?
StorminNorman@lemmy.world 11 months ago
I’m not the person you’re replying to, but I am Australian and can give my 2 cents, what the grey market sellers are selling them for here in Australia anyway. Hell, wouldn’t mind paying a bit more than that too. I just want to buy it legit so I have all the warranty protections etc.
