It's literally the only movie I've watched so far this year. Wasn't mindblowing or anything, solid 8/10 action, don't know if a rewatch would be worth it or not.
>Red Dead Redemption 2
Most everything else I've played this year I've played before with few exceptions. Really enjoyed this but haven't finished main story yet, dragging out all the secondary objectives, hunting, gambling, etc.
It's nicer in the wintertime when I don't feel like actually going outside into the snow.
Good atmosphere.
>The Wrong Mans
Only TV show I've actually watched a full season of this year, but since there was less than 10 thirty minute episodes between series 1 & 2, and I had to watch it for a philosophy class I was taking at the time, it didn't take too long. Again nothing mind-blowing, pleasant enough irreverent comedy.

>Favourite book
Watt, Beckett, a deeply philosophical book. its hilarious at times, yet incredibly beautiful and incredibly sad. reminds me of Kafka in that sense.
>Favourite film
Touki Bouki (1973), french new wave cinema settled on African soil and got twisted into a new poetic expression that makes me feel things that are hard to put into words
>Favourite videogame
havent really played anything new but im really enjoying slay the spire, its aesthetically and narratively kinda boring, but by god is it mechanically refined. every mechanic is perfectly fine tuned

That's hard to answer, I'd say The Collector (John Fowles). It was my first book by Fowles and it was amazing, I wasn't expecting such a good story.
Joker? But to be honest I don't know if I watched this year or last year, I simply don't watch movies.
Assassin's Creed: Ezio Trilogy. This year I gave the series a second chance, I began with Altair's games and finished with Chronicles, but the Ezio Trilogy was the best in the series.
I haven't watched a series in years.

The Magus and The French Lieutenant's woman are great, Mantissa and A Maggot too. I wouldn't recommend Daniel Martin, it's not bad, but it's unnecessarily long and not very interesting.
A few days ago I ordered The Ebony Tower, and I'm considering buying a biography.

does the Magus really mean anything? I stayed up all night to finish that book, but I have a feeling it is just a set of plot twists for the sake of plot twists. which is better than most novels, but just wondering if there is anything deeper there

Japanese Ghost Stories
Carnival of Souls (1962)
Morrowind, same as every year
Bear Grease, a podcast series about hunting, ecology, and frontier american history. The most interesting episode is about soil ecology and the most exciting about a German market hunter who nearly died killing a black bear in the Ozarks. Made me want to buy two different soil ecology books but I ended up buying a welding and a blacksmithing book first.

Got into chink novels this year (started with cradle last year, read all the books and finally started actual chinks novels, remembering, no, even reading chinese names and characters was damn hard at first) , read reverend insanity and few others, Reverend insanity is actually quite bad, poorly translated and low quality compared to published work but at the same time it is so fucking good.
