My favourite contributions to /v/ this year were the Persona 5 player survey (posted about 3 days after the article went live, but not too late to cause explosive results), accidentally one-upping Mark at E3 / every Nintendo Direct (clean and comprehensive OPs versus barebones livestream embeds he'd posted minutes before), and anything ListAnon liked enough to add to the list (although nothing will top the Deus Ex one from last year).
If I could forget something, it would be the embarrassingly low-effort OC made for a #TorrentialDownpour campaign, demanding separate text and audio language options in Breath of the Wild (…which were added post-launch, surprisingly).
