Hey hey, Shackers. Welcome to middle of December 2023. We’re running out of sand in the hourglass for this wild year of gaming, and there isn’t much more left than to share the Shacknews Awards and Hall of Fame inductees. We’re almost there, but there’s still a little ways to go this week. With today coming to an end and getting us all the closer to this year’s close, we’ve assembled another fine Evening Reading to close down the day of posting. Please enjoy.

TBH, this is worse than the apple, if even just for the chocolate curse.
Chaotic support
If you set goldship as your partner in GBVSR, she gives you terrible advice, tells you to mash, starts going off on tangents and talking about food

this is the best game I've ever seen
Honestly, in a game where everyone is generally completely supportive, it’s really funny that Cygames put in a character that trolls and gaslight you instead.

There you have it. That’s your Evening Reading for this December 12, 2023. As we coast into the close of this year, we’d like to Thank you all for stopping by, and don’t forget that you can support Shacknews through Mercury for as little as a dollar a month. It’s always highly appreciated. Don’t have a dollar? Well you don’t need one to enjoy Shackpets. It’s our free app on iOS and Android where you can upload cute pet pics, pit them in battles against other pets, and vote in the ultimate battle of cuteness.
Take care, and have a good week, Shackers. How are you getting ready to enjoy the holidays? Any games you’re catching up on? Let us know in the Shacknews Chatty section below!
