#this doesnt include some other re-reading i did bc i was in flux as well as folktale collections from Holland

I don't feel like writing my whole thoughts on each of these but FWIW

Here's some media I engaged with this year that I enjoyed/struck me and I thus recommend to people:

Games -Death Stranding (GOTY to me) -Inscryption (1st Act is supreme to me) -How Fish Is Made (FREEEE) -Murder of Sonic the Hedgehog (very good srsly)

Movies/Shows -Moon (sci-fi thriller, 2009) -Perfect Blue (the last of Satoshi Kon's (RIP) work I hadn't seen yet) -Bunch of "older" films I'll lump together: Soylent Green, Westworld, Arsenic and Old Lace, Dracula (Christopher Lee) -The Green Knight (artsy, 2021) -Aardman Documentary 'A Grand Night In' -Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance (please release a DVD) -'Dennou Coil' and 'Orbital Children' (same director so. strong character writing imo especially as far as 'realistic kid' attitudes) -Trigun (with friends! holds up well - earned the classic label) -One Piece Live Action (actually kind of ...good??)

Books -Dark Archives (2020, Rosenbloom) -Dostoevsky Short Stories (Eternal Husband in particular was gripping) -History of the Comic Strip (Couperie, Horn, et al., 1968 - I re-read this every so often it's truly fascinating) -Unsure if it was this year or last year I went on a Philip K. Dick binge but various of those short stories...

#me speak #i mean i have opinions on each of these but lol anyway try some of these out fellas #tho i will say my tastes are all over the place but summarily 'slower paced unsettling' #this doesnt include some other re-reading i did bc i was in flux as well as folktale collections from Holland #also doesnt include things ongoing such as OP TLD etc etc aka things i play or read for years now haha #'wheres MUSIC' buddy i am terminally broken and #listen to either angry italian man talk about sonic the shitlog or 13th century early music and nothing in between
