How valuable of a "resume add" is winning Master Chef (Jr.)? Like, is that something that a potential hirer would look at and say "ooh this guy is a real good chef let's hire him," or is it seen as more of a irrelevant/"publicity stunt" thing (or in the specific case of MC Jr, a "kid" thing and irrelevant in the same way that someone who won a national spelling bee isn't going to get any big ins with book publishers) and they'd rather have someone who went to culinary school, or what?

After Starfield - it's in pre-production and BGS only makes one game at a time. Expect it around 2025 or 2026 - it was only even announced yet to reassure people "we are going to keep making TES, we aren't going to pull a Warcraft and only make MMOs and card games."

They also make good librarians.

Not OP. There are other memes beyond image macros ("text over an image.") There are video memes - think Rickroll, Unexpected John Cena, or We Are Number One. There are exclusively text-based memes (think of any copypasta.) There are comment memes, particularly of the sort that might be specific to one community (Reddit has things like "we did it Reddit," "I also choose this guy's dead wife," and the whole two broken arms thing as some examples.) There are cultural trend memes that spread via the internet but are real-life things - bottle flipping, the Harlem shake, fidget spinners, the circle game - many of these are older than the internet, which gets into the original definition of the term by Richard Dawkins.

Basically, a meme is an idea or behavior that spreads throughout a culture and has some representation of something else about it. They spread, change, multiply, evolve, sometimes die off, and interact with other memes to create new memes - they are the cultural equivalent of genes. Fashion trends are memes. Languages are memes. Religion is a meme. Philosophical concepts, including the idea of memes, are themselves memes. Internet memes are just a very small subset of the overall collection of human memes.

The problem with that is that some years had more worthy games than others. For example, 2011 had (technically) Minecraft (personally, the game I would give GOTD to with zero hesitation), Portal 2 and Dark Souls, all viable contenders (not to mention Skyrim, which might get a nod just due to the cultural impact), whereas I can't think of any 2014 game that I would put in the top 20 games of the decade.
