It begins floating towards the ground. The presenter scrambles to catch it before it reaches the floor.
"Next up is our award for best flavor. It takes a lot of time and skill to craft a cohesive narrative that makes your players feel immersed in the game."
"Genuinely a tough choice, I almost abstained because it's that close, but I chose
Datisi

, even as just a spectator.""The winner of
