favorite book: I did not read anything written this year (waiting on a lot of fantasy and sci fi series to finish) favorite game: I did not play anything made this year (my steam backlog could get me through the rest of my life, and elden ring comes out soon) favorite movie: I did not watch any movies produced this year (movies are just presently dead unless you're one of like 5 trusted auteurs like Lynch, Tarantino etc) favorite music release: name someone under 45 making *anything* at a super high level from a compositional standpoint: uhh |

I forgot serialized tv. Nothing good there either but Ozark season 4 will probably be good |

big budget is on hold, however it gives time to catch up on things. books: Stephen Baxter & Alastair Reynolds - The Medusa Chronicles starts off slow and annoyingly jumps between eras until the shit hits the fan, but then i really started to enjoy it. Herman Melville - Moby Dick interesting read about whaling and human nature/history, dont expect a fluent read though. after a brilliant introduction of the storytellers character the arc of tension is constantly broken by essays about whales and their industrialized hunting and processing. but i found that some of those passages were just written very well. Terry Pratchett - Feet of Clay Golems and a werewolf in Ankh Morpork´s city watch. No need to say more. Fav Game: Subnautica (still) going to a real arcade with tons of machines on free play twice Fav Recent Movies: Annihilation Color out of Space (hands on best Lovecraft to date & by a huge margin) Alita 3D (expected junk, but then enjoyed it, due to robotics and FX and overall thematic) Music: recent spam i would say |

*waggles finger* none of that was from 2021. Medusa Chronicles is on my to read list though. Era jumping can be cool if done right, will bump it up after your review. Have never read Moby Dick, lol. I'm sure it's equal parts literary masterpiece and nighttime sleep aid. Discworld... some people seem to really like it. I read the first book and couldn't get into it but may try again. I hear it takes a few books to find its voice. Subnautica was awesome! Best single player survival game I've played, probably. I just finished it a few days ago. 48 hours playtime in a couple of weeks. I did have to look up one hint (location of blue tablet), but it ended up being somewhat of a bug that prevented me from finding it. The recent spam is all great. I've been waiting patiently for the next drukQs or something though... something that really breaks the mold. |

I like Discworld but first few books are A-typical of the quality of the series as a whole, Mort/Pyramids/moving pictures etc.. are much better |

discworld series is pure satire. barely read it for the plot. read about 6 of the 30 dw novels and it´s appeal to me is just the way he portrays mankind and satires other works of fiction. to watch how those odd yet so believable characters act in their adventures. good writing is good observation and pratchett had a very keen eye and was able to put that into wits. |

This year but not necessarily from this year I’ve really enjoyed: Reading nearly all of Yoshiharu Tsuge’s works. What we do in the shadows. Stath let’s flats. Autechre. Watching the exorcist and rosemarys baby back to back. The social dilemma. Zelda game and watch (links awakening). A pair of trainers or two. Getting a new turntable. Fringe. The 40 year old virgin (for the fifth time). The office (US). Radiohead’s a moon shaped pool. Walking more, and of course Babu. |

well i've been writing 2 books so haven't put much time into reading and only read one book this year and that's just because i set aside time last week to sit down and read it all in one day, which was neuromancer; my mom has thiftbooks and sent some warhammer & battletech books recently. been relearning latin, but don't think text books really count. read darkhorse comics in the 90s and picked up a few of the older aliens releases and been filling out my grendel collection too. haven't purchased any music at all this year (i buy cds, not mp3s and just listen to youtube). getting better at releasing music, so that's been my focus; don't allow myself to listen to anything when working on it. definitely subbed to quite a few small punk/metal channels throughout the year though. only time i really tune into anything new is when noisia uploads their weekly vision radio to youtube. kinda gotten into city pop too aka 70s 80s era japanese funk/jazz/pop. been gaming on gta v for no other reason than my friends have it and gaming these days is mostly about getting on voicechat to keep up with each other. pulled my ps3 out so i can play ps1 games on it and have been playing through chrono cross while on the hunt for other older rpgs. watched absolutely no new movies or shows for several years now. i'm subscribed to a channel on youtube that uploads old kung fu movies daily and at night i'll watch x files reruns on comet tv which is a tv channel that has a website too; got rid of all my streaming services years ago. hated westerns as a kid, but have been watching a lot on youtube lately. mostly just done with consumerism & materialism and refuse to give my time, attention, & money to the beast that is hollywood & mainstream media & capitalism, so basically don't buy anything new, watch anything new, play anything new. there's plenty of old stuff to go back to & explore and the only reason anyone consumes anything new is to talk to all the other consumers about what they consumed and how much they en |
