Wow, yesterday’s games were the most intense ever in OotY history! Both matches were neck and neck all day. I had no idea what to prepare for, so this is going to be a little short.
Congrats to this year’s final 4 owls: White Faced, Buffy, Screech, and Snowy.
I’m going to do the first semi-final today and the other tomorrow.
You know the competition well at this point. White Face is former OotY from 2023. Buffy has been a strong opponent in all 3 seasons, and has now made it to the last stop before the final match. Both have very fun and loveable looks, so it may still be a hard choice, but it’s what we’re here for.
So take your time, think it over, and upvote your first finalist now!
Yes, Piefed seems to have grabbed the best bits of Lemmy and added on some niceties. The polling feature would be amazing for OotY. I’d like it to be more blind for people that haven’t voted yet.
I see some people successfully embed video links, which I haven’t figured out either, plus with the privacy people being touchy about what gets opened automatically, I don’t know if doing so would annoy more people than it benefited.
Extra cuteness never hurt anyone’s popularity. I do get a little excited every year when the games bump our community a good bit up the front page community rankings.
