It's that time again, let's do this:
The year has been kind of a blur. New books by Kloos and Corey are always welcome. Rothfuss is a wizard.
Deadpool & Wolverine was well worth it. Last of Us and The Penguin topped my list.
On the video game front, Starfield was soulless and Elden Ring was, frankly, too damn hard to mess with. Finally got into X4, which is a lot of fun. And I enjoyed Tactical Breach Wizards 10x more than I paid for it.
Also this year started getting into the more rules-light TTRPGs, like Fate, which resonate with me a lot. Seems most of the industry is moving that direction (even the new edition of Paranoia is like, "GM doesn't roll dice").
Not much of a deep analysis this year. Media was something I used to still my busy mind or blow some time more than anything, so it rarely truly elevated me.
