My life now consists of long, dull stretches of time spent patiently awaiting new episodes of Severance. It is almost here.

Despite living in an era of streaming giants that all have prestige television series, I feel like there's never more than one or two shows on at any given time worth going out of your way to watch. Right now that show is Severance.

As someone that classifies myself a political progressive, there's nothing more annoying than the smug progressives that make posts like, "Yeah, see, the libs are finally getting it." All the liberals voted the same way as you did, guys.

I'm not going to sit here and just be outraged by every bit of minutia as it relates the US all but collapsing under Trump, but if you have a piece of electronic equipment you were putting off purchasing -- buy it now. 25%-100% tariffs on semiconductors. Dear God. We're all so fucked.

I've only seen 3/10 best picture nominees so far. Yeesh. I have read the novel, the Nickel Boys, so more like 3.5/10. Lot of catching up to do. Anora is a genuinely fantastic film. Already going to claim that Challengers was snubbed. I don't need to have seen all the nominees to say that.

Alright, well, video games. With 25% tariffs on imports from Mexico on the way, I can see a sharp downtick in the number of disc-based games that get released physically in the US, as much of that production infrastructure is in Mexico. If they do get made, I expect higher prices both phys & dig.

Does anyone have any recommendations for email platforms that aren't gmail? I've gone through the work of eliminating the majority of my social media accounts over the past year. Email will be a harder transition, but might as well begin that transition now.

Yes, important post... I'd go as far as to say the term "quality of life" straight up makes it hard for the audience to treat games "as art" (and imo enjoy them fully). In turn, that means less "art" goes into games and more "service".

None of the 36 video games in the Museum of Modern Art's permanent collection were released in the past decade. Does the Fortnitification of the industry threaten the vibrancy and diversity of the field? My guest essay for the NYT: www.nytimes.com/2024/12/12/o...
