wishfulclicking2021 has been a drawn out blur and I have kept track of nothing. Anything mentioned was strong enough to stick out among the attempts to distract. Thinking on my media consumption for this year, I'd say that I didn't read as much as I wanted, played some fun/great games, contributed a lot of funds to streaming services I don't use enough, and watched some movies. Here's to hoping for 2022...
Games: I did get a XBOX Series S early this year along with Game Pass so I have tried a good amount of games. Out of all of them, Hades has been one of the best experiences entirely. So many people have written about this game, and it has won so many awards, so I don't know what else I can say besides: as someone who is truly terrible at this kind of game, the game teaches you so well and makes failure a ~boon. I love the animation, the music (played the King and the Bull on repeat for months), the voice performances--everything.
Other Games I remember fondly: Boyfriend Dungeon (fun enough, the ending was okay), Scarlet Nexus (yes, I do like fighting flower monstrosities with psychic powers), Assassin's Creed Odyssey.
Books: I have not read enough at all.
Movies: tick..tick...Boom! reminded me how much I love Andrew Garfield, surprised me with how restrained it was considering LMM was directing, did make me cry a bit; Spider-man: No Way Home was fun and cute; Dune was such a joy to watch and surpassed my expectations (I have never liked Jason Momoa more); Summer of Soul was a great documentary and concert film.
TV:
Favorites: Squid Game, Word of Honor, Beyond Evil, Station Eleven, Love Life.
Wish I liked more: Wheel of Time (but I will give the 2nd season a try)
Love it now...: Yellowjackets, which makes me love Sundays but I do worry about 5 seasons.
I hope you all have had the best possible year.
