Thanks u/mycketforvirrad! I look forward to this thread every week. Plenty of unusual stories in them. I also get a kick from the auto-generated "Tildes is a very serious site, where we discuss very serious matters like X, Y, and Z".

I had been interested in an EV for a long time but never really took the plunge. That thread answered a lot of questions I had, plus some other questions that I asked as followups. Specifically things related to charging, storage, and daily usage. And now a few months later my wife and I sold both of our ICE cars and now drive an EV.

Happy end of year, everyone!
I saw a comment today on Tildes that reminded me of a type of thread that I really enjoyed back on Reddit: end-of-year awards. Those were typically in individual subreddits and involved a lot of specifics and inside jokes related to that community, but I think Tildes is a small enough place where we could do one site-wide. (Full disclosure, I am not sure if this is a great idea and am open to any and all suggestions.)
Brief explanation:
-
For starters, there are no actual awards to give out, sorry. Just some pats on the back and maybe some street cred to go with it.
-
The purpose of the thread is mostly to highlight cool, helpful, and interesting things or users you've seen here on Tildes in the last year. This thread is hopefully a gateway to those interesting posts/comments/discussions that you might have missed.
-
Top-level comments should be an award category (for example: Most Interesting Thread, Best Discussion, Most Helpful Comment, Funniest Joke, Most Helpful User, Best Prediction, Favorite Recurring Thread, etc.) Note that none of these examples are negative because again the goal of this thread is to highlight awesome stuff that others might have missed over the last 12 months.
-
Responses to those top-level comments should be the actual nominations, preferably with a link to said comment/thread, and a quick explanation as to why you think it deserves recognition.
-
Upvotes serve as the votes for each category, though I encourage you to vote for as many nominees as you'd like since the awards aren't real and the points don't matter.
That's pretty much it. I'll post a few comments as examples, but hopefully it should be pretty straight-forward. Feel free to add your own award categories, and please nominate as many users/comments/threads as you'd like!
If this thread helps at least one person discover a helpful thread from 6 months ago that they might have missed, then I'll consider it a success.

Thronebreaker: The Witcher Tales is on sale for 80% off ($4 in the states) and is one of the best story-focused games I've played in years. Incredible story with plenty of plot twists and turns and choices that are actually difficult and thought-provoking. I was backstabbed by characters I trusted implicitly, and I ended up really liking other characters that I thought were total assholes at the start. And it's got some very clever and interesting puzzle design that meshes well with the setting and mechanics of the game. I really can't emphasize how much I loved the story-telling, world-building, and character development in this game enough. Highly recommend.
Disclaimer: It's a tiny bit more involved than a visual novel since you technically need to build a deck and play some gwent, but if you don't want to do that you can just play on the story difficulty setting and these battles should be a breeze.

Ooh I've never tried marinating anything in it before. Usually I just drizzle some on top right before eating. So thanks for the idea! I'm gonna try that marinated steak and see how it goes.
