Do you remember Halloween, Mr. Frodo? The boop button was back, and everyone was booping and memeing and having fun. There was fanart and good cheer. And the activity feeds were useless, absolutely useless. And we had such hope for the US election, and candy for trick-or-treaters. Do you remember the taste of a full-size snickers bar?

No, Sam. I can't recall the taste of candy, nor the sound of laughter, nor the figurative touch of a friendly boop. Instead, I'm… watching the news. There's nothing. No veil between me and the wheel of fire! I can see him… with my waking eyes!

Then let us be rid of it! Once and for all! Come on, Mr. Frodo. I can't change the election results… but I can change the channel! Come on!

After a week of being attacked by a combo of the dumbest and most evil people on the internet, Khelif comes thru and accomplished the girlhood dream - Olympic gold medalist! From gathering and selling scraps to afford bus fare to get to the gym as a kid to Olympic champion! Algeria’s first women with a gold medal in boxing and their 2nd boxing gold ever.

Yang Liu will have to settle for silver. China is still guaranteed 5 medals in women’s boxing and have one more boxer in the finals of women’s 75 kg.

Undertale NPCs tournament round 1 is now FINISHED!!

That's it! Thank you all for participating! Let's look at the current standings!

Wonderful! Round 2 will be introducing new characters who I think will put up quite the challenge for the round 1 winners! Very excited to see how this plays out :) Since we finished up this round, lets look at some stats!

The most popular character of round 1 was:

Ruins Mouse!

Ruins Mouse won against Ugly Fish with 1220 votes! I feel like this result was helped by the fact that Ugly Fish was. very very unpopular. This was also the { Most Agreed Upon Match }, with 82.8% of people voting for Ruins Mouse!

The least popular character of round 1 was:

Diamond Boy!

Diamond Boy lost to Red Bird with only 107 votes! Red Bird seemed to be a favorite, and Diamond Boy did not have a lot to him. His description only had four words! This was also the { Least Interesting Match }, with only 555 votes in total! It was the second to last match posted, so that may have contributed to it.

The most interesting match of round 1 was:

Charles vs Distant Guy!

This match ended up having 1648 votes! Distant guy ended up winning with 63.1% of the votes. I think the mix between a fun character in a very visible place against a somewhat obscure but very loved character helped this match get so popular.

Thank you again! Round two starts TOMORROW at the same schedule as round 1! Hope to see you there :3

Hi, gamers. I know the results of the Sandwich Poll have been gnawing at you. So many people wondering whether they answered correctly, which as a reminder is a very important factor in determining which afterlife you end up in when you die. Please understand that I needed a lot of time to internally process these poll results and also that I've been kinda busy/tired. But the people need to know, so here we go.

In total, we received 372 responses. I also spent a lot of my weekend annoying anyone who would listen to me in person about these questions, but I didn't write those answers down.

Question 1 was fairly non-controversial, as it should be. It is worth noting that 3.2% of respondents chose to write-in an answer, and most of these write-in answers were what scientists would call "bad" and "not really useful." So you can assume a 3.2% margin of error on everything in this survey. That's how statistics works.

Question 2 is where we see a real divide. Most respondents consider a sandwich cut into two separate but equal pieces to be one sandwich. This is a real shame, because it's the wrong answer. But let's not get ahead of ourselves.

Question 3 considers whether one piece of bread cut in half and used for sandwich-making results in a sandwich, and surprisingly the majority of respondents do consider this to be one sandwich. This is really interesting, because despite ending up with functionally and aesthetically the same result as one of the pieces of the sandwich from question 2, a significant number of respondents believe the results to be inherently different. I wish there was a way to better track how much overlap there was for those two seemingly contradictory answers, but the big Sheets page Google Docs is daunting and I don't feel like figuring out how to parse that data, so we just need to accept that we'll never have that exact number. That's how statistics works.

Question 4 mostly just cements the findings of the previous two questions. I do want to point out the one person who answered "who the fuck does this". Sandwich shops do this. Go to a sandwich shop for once in your life and really watch them do their work. Open your eyes.

Question 5 did not get me a lot of useful data, as it turns out having a question that only allowed for write-in answers was a bad idea. However, there are more or less two camps for people who really took these questions seriously and gave it their all. The first school of thought suggests that intent is the most important factor, and if you deem what you've made to be a sandwich, it's a sandwich. While I appreciate the critical thinking on display here, I believe in the other school of thought, which is that when you put ingredients between two breads that's a sandwich, baby. There is a sub-school of thought here that requires those two pieces to be whole pieces, but that's wrong.

One question that I should have included in the survey I think proves my point. If you order a sandwich platter from a deli and they use a single really long piece of bread (think like a several foot long hero) into multiple sections, you would say that you have sandwiches, plural. If you wanted to grab one, you wouldn't say "I'm going to grab a 64th of a sandwich" because you would sound deranged. Despite being parts of a larger whole, they are still ingredients between pieces of bread, and thus fit the definition of "sandwich."

Anyway, thank you for coming on this non-gaming detour with me. It was extremely important that I prove a friend wrong on this topic, and even though I don't think I did that and I think he's choosing to double down on his incorrect opinions, I'm still choosing to spin this as a personal and moral victory. New actual DidYouGamings will come out as soon as I discover any new facts about video games (right now there's only a couple hundred facts about video games at all and I've basically covered all of them.)
