How are the Ennies designed? An insider's look into the 2025 Ennie Awards. Part three. How does the structure of the Ennies determine its outcomes? And what does it mean for others?

Part 3 is here. The deep dive into the Ennies. If you're someone who doesn't know much about the Ennie Awards, you should read parts 1 and 2. But if you like a bit of inside baseball and are interested in award shows in generalβ€”this is the article for you.

expansion is probably most appropriate but is very videogames.

Tradestar Dynamics' 'Chevalier' combat frame, much maligned upon release, became infamous in later years when secondhand frames were operated by irregular paramilitaries with devastating results across the frontier systems.

weirdly, this is sort of why I love writing contemporary stuff. it's hard but if you do it well, you defamaliarize the mundane. it's like forcing the audience to rengage with what they've relegated to the subconscious in their daily lives.
