>Shadows is currently on par with that of Assassins Creed Odyssey in terms of its pre-order numbers. "Early previews have been positive, praising its narrative and immersive experience, with both characters playing critical roles in the game's storyline, as well as the quality and complementarity of the gameplay provided by the dual protagonist approach," Guillemot said in the most recent earnings call.

>At the time of writing, Shadows currently has around 300,000 pre-orders, said sources and Odyssey's day one player numbers were between 400-450,000; a gap of around 100-150,000 that needs to be made up in the next four weeks.

@Garry_Kong opinion?

It was after hours and didn't interfere with p*tients.

Nominations will stay up until January 12th, upon which the finalists for each category will be decided.

______________________________________________________

Happy New Year, strags and hags! Against all odds, we've survived another year, despite an absolutely shameful showing from our jannies this past year! You might be wondering, "why isn't @Marco making this post?" Well, when I DM'd @Aevann asking the same, he told me Marco was AWOL and to "make the darn post urself." (This includes the badges.) So I am!

2024 was a truly insane year for IRL drama, so it makes sense things on-site would be tame in comparison. In fact, it would be an insult to the utter mayhem of 2024 to pretend anything we did compares, so our on-site awards will be a little different than usual. Also I was told to not just directly rip off @Marco's thing.

Now, the structure will be as usual, but for those who are not familiar: this thread will stay up for a week. Beneath this thread proper, there will be sticked comments for each category of nomination. Reply to those comments with your nominations. In one week, on the 12th, nominations will close, and the top three most upmarseyed replies, plus a jannie's pick and a host's (my) pick, will move on to the finalist voting thread. If you don't nominate your favorite things, NO ONE ELSE WILL, so nominate them!

Without further ado, the categories!

Best Real-Life Dramatic Happening

The real shit. 2024 was an American election year and also some irrelevant countries did some things I think. I can't be bothered to keep up with the Third World.

Which dramatic happenings from meatspace did you find most compelling?

Best Off-Site Online Dramatic Happening

The fake shit. Politicians and celebrities have embraced the Internet to the point where they're having interviews with livestreamers. Kill me. What was the funniest farce to come off the World Wide Web this year? What event makes you regret the Industrial Revolution the most?

WORST Dramneurodivergent of the Year

Research indicates that the last good user to sign up for this website was in June of 2021. Our on-site performance in 2024 reflects that.

Which user did you hate the most this year? Which user do you think ruined the site experience more than anyone else? And which user do you want to see rewarded for that?

In Memsorial

Soren was a beloved user, famed for being the best meta-troll to ever exist. No one has ever lived up to the example he set for proving dramneurodivergents are just as troll-able as the Redditors we hate. Soren stopped posting on the site to focus on his studies at the Georgetown University Law Center, and we wish him the best of luck. In Soren's memory, and to make up for the fact that there's no vote for the best off-site bait, we'll be having a vote for the best meta-troll of 2024. Which user was best at baiting other dramneurodivergents? Who trolled the most fellow trolls?

Best rDrama Activist

This is going to @Sphereserf3232 because he was grass awarded eight times this year. We know for a fact that there are users on this site ( @Spiderman ) who didn't even go outside eight times this year.

Eviction Notice

This one is new, and a little special. Our dear friend @BILLYBIGBOLLOCKS has long been complaining about the existence of House Edgy and saying that it should be removed. Aevann agrees that there should only be four. This award is for an entire rDrama House- whichever one showed the LEAST House spirit, the LEAST House activity, and the LEAST reason to exist. Whichever House wins this award will be removed from both rDrama and WatchPeopleDie, and all of its former members will receive this badge.

Ugliest Marseymon

Did you know that our Pokemon event is still on-going? Neither did I, because our jannies can't be bothered to keep site spirit events alive! See: the fact I'm doing this. Anyway, a lot of people made some really, really ugly excuses of emojis in order to get the badges from that event. Let's find and shame the ugliest of them all! All emojis tagged "pkmn" are eligible, whether they be a Marsey, Platy, Wolf, Carp, Capy, Donkey Kong, Taylor, or anything else, really. So long as the creator got one of the Marseydex badges from it.

Nominations Comment

$10,000 mbux + Profile Badge

The badge will be made from said emoji once it's voted on.

Lolcow of the Year (rDrama)

The opposite of In Memsorial, this user was the most hopelessly prey to other's bait attempts, the most mockable r-slur, the funniest freak, the hardest seriousposter. Who gave our community the most laughs at their own expense?

Lolcow of the Year (off-site)

Worst rDrama Janny

Last and least, which of our useless, lazy moderators do you think is the worst among the bunch? Who do you think is the biggest detriment to the site and its community? Former jannies who were demopped in 2024 are eligible for the election. If a sitting janny other than Aevann or Carp wins this category, they will be demopped!

BREAKING: President Trump is considering abolishing the federal income tax, per NYT.

!neolibs Trump's redemption? Hopefully tariffs are bullshit

I was talking to @PegMeMommy about Valentine's Day. I was telling him about how me and my siblings got our mom flowers and stuff for Valentine's Day. During the conversation he said he had never heard of kids getting their mom something for Valentine's Day, and he doesn't know anyone who does this. For me, this is the opposite: Where I'm from, everyone gets their mother something. Now both of us are wondering which is normal.

Decided to make a poll!

Do you buy your mother something Valentine's Day?

TL;DR: Starbucks new CEO recently announced that Starbucks will stop giving away free water or bathroom access unless you purchase something. This is part of a wider scheme to make Starbucks a "third space" again - somewhere that paying customers actually want to hang out.

You'd think that the Starbucks staff would be happy about this because it would finally give them a way to defend themselves from the assorted homeless and drug addicts who practically live in the stores, overdosing in pottys and scaring off actual customers. Well you're wrong.

For some reason Starbucks employees are obsessed with the "no more free water for non-customers" part. They don't understand that this gives them a rule that they can use to deter homeless people while still giving free water out if they want to (because who's gonna know?).

How does that solve the problem of homeless people?

lmao watercuck "please boss can I have some water I'm thirsty" "no"

Your skeleton crew would have more free time if you hadn't converted your store into a homeless shelter.

If someone's setting up a full desk in your coffee shop and hasn't bought anything yet then you should absolutely tell them to buy a drink or frick off.

I'm definitely going to visit a coffee shop that acts as a social hub for the mentally unstable.

This situation will never happen because you won't try to charge an old man $2 for water. You'll give it to him for free unless he's homeless.

Hopefully everyone is cool with me skipping the inauguration so I can go to the national title game

Nope. That is not okay. You will be VP of the United States of America!

You would trade a front row seat to the most significant inauguration in the last 150 years, as the incoming vice president, for a football game? This has to be a joke.

I’m not!! Excuse me??? How can we count on you to carry this movement forward if you can’t be at the inauguration of President Trump. I love you JD have always been on your side from day one. I think you need to be there. But I guess that’s between you & President Trump.

Is this a joke? When our country is falling? I’m a huge supporter of you from Ohio. It’s just a game. I would never choose a game over my country. That’s just me. The a hole liberals are going to have a field day at your expense. This is disappointing. I pray this is a joke.

Because so many of us worked hard to get you into the White House -- and now that that day is soooo close -- you want to skip it, to go watch a game?

every day i'm shocked at the r-sluration of the average redditor and the average MAGAor. just...the dumbest people who ever lived. i hate social media.

for the record, i unironically think a presidential inauguration should be skipped if your team is in the national championship. he's the VP anyway it doesn't matter!

Do you have any evidence that this person is incompetent at her profession? The bio also says she's a 22 year vet of the LAFD, and was previously Battalion Chief, Assistant Chief, Deputy Chief, and Chief Deputy.

its gone up for auction twice and each time hasnt met the "unknown" price reserve

The Little Black Book is said to contain the names and contact information of many high-profile individuals in fields including finance, manufacturing, real estate, film, television, and more.

"The entries are printed reproductions, likely reduced in size to accommodate this rather small binding. There are 386 printed entries with two additional entries penned in a childlike hand on the last page, very similar to Epstein's hand but the sample is too small for us to warrant this as fact. They vary in length from only a few lines to over 10-15 lines or more each, and each of these entries may have several more names included within," an excerpt from the book's auction webpage reads.

According to Alexander Historical Auctions, 94 names in the book have black handwritten checkmarks beside them, and five names of "well-recognized financial and industrial figures" are highlighted.
