At #3 we have a tie at 28 upvotes, and both are on the same post, talking about how a control scheme is similar to launching a nuke! Thanks to @Thomas Weller and @Xan for this apt comparison!

And at #1, we got a comment that demolished any other comment on the website this year with 50 (!) upvotes. Its adding a 50 minute explanation video to an answer about one of the biggest news story in gaming, Dream's Minecraft Speedrun. Congratulations to @luk2302, seems lots of users loved to hear this more detailed explanation to the dream problem.
How was it calculated that Dream cheated on his Minecraft v1.16 glitchless speedrun?

At #3, we got @Chengarda giving a great and quick explanation of what is a skinner box. Its a great read to know how loot boxes are made to make you spend more in videogames. Those 78 upvotes are well deserved!

At #2, we have @Paul Z coming in with his insider knowledge to help exorcise an Xbox. 92 upvotes is a great score to keep demons our of our consoles!

And at #1, we have @Joshua Bizley cracking the 100 score bar with a score of 101 by coming to the rescue of a user that seemingly lost his whole Steam Library! Sure that user got back his library, but he didn't tell.
