I’ve tried to use Last.fm reliably over the years, but it just takes one “I reset my phone and forgot to scrobble” to leave my trends messed up for most of the year.</p> <p>But someone put together a script that builds a list based on your play music activity! This is really neat! That only goes back so far, and the 2020 numbers are just fucked (technical term) between the GPM shutdown and the pandemic. However, I’ve got a working ListenBrainz setup (and mostly local playback) going so I should be able to get good numbers for next year. I might switch to Maloja instead, since it looks pretty cool and I’m into the self-hosting thing, but finding some easy ways to make a python server accessible for as little cost as possible is… not trivial. Sigh.</p> More ... 2017 books https://4nm.us/posts/2017-books/ Tue, 09 Jan 2018 15:08:24 -0800 https://4nm.us/posts/2017-books/ 2017 books year in review <p>Losing Dragon’s Lair as an available comics shop cut down my reading of them dramatically for 2017, but I did enjoy my re-read of Wicked and the Divine to prepare for the newer issues that came out this year as well. It continues to be an amazing comic.</p> <p>The Spire, which I was able to find a collected trade for, was a huge favorite though. Solve for i was sweet, with a bit of clumsy trans character handling.</p> More ... 2017 games https://4nm.us/posts/2017-games/ Tue, 09 Jan 2018 15:08:24 -0800 https://4nm.us/posts/2017-games/ 2017 games year in review <p>This was.. not a great year for me in terms of games. I started a large number of them, but didn’t finish very many thanks to just not feeling like I had the time or energy to do so. I did complete a few more 100% achievements on Steam, with a few other games getting close to it, and I’ll probably try to keep that going.</p> <p>An outstanding exception to this, however, was Pyre from Supergiant Games. I’m utterly in love with Supergiant and Pyre was no exception. Darren Korb’s soundtrack with Ashley Barret’s vocals continue to deliver, the plot was fascinating, the mechanics of the game’s plot branching so heavily was incredibly well done, and I have to also give them a shoutout for allowing a non-binary lead character. The game felt good.</p> More ... 2017 movies https://4nm.us/posts/2017-movies/ Tue, 09 Jan 2018 15:08:24 -0800 https://4nm.us/posts/2017-movies/ 2017 movies year in review <p>Wheeew. What a year. Most things being rewatches because of having kids (that’s my excuse, anyway, we all know I’m the one who picked most of the Disney movies) but there were a few outstanding first time watches.</p> <p>Last Jedi was amazing. I don’t think we’re quite past the spoiler embargo for it yet, it definitely had some problematic things to it, but wow. Holdo’s look was fantastic, I loved the take on Luke’s force powers, that we see Leia with force powers, and just how.. utterly relevant it kept feeling as a movie.</p> More ... 2017 shows https://4nm.us/posts/2017-shows/ Tue, 09 Jan 2018 15:08:24 -0800 https://4nm.us/posts/2017-shows/ 2017 shows year in review <p>I didn’t start a whole lot in the way of new shows this past year, but Gravity Falls and Korra were both amazing to finally watch through to completion. We haven’t finished watching Little Witch Academia yet, but I’ve been having so much fun with it.</p> <p>The Hero Yoshihiko has its ups and downs, but a lot of problematic moments between the enjoyable scenes. I mean, there was a lot of problematic media in terms of shows that I went with in 2017.</p> More ... 2017 webcomics https://4nm.us/posts/2017-webcomics/ Tue, 09 Jan 2018 15:08:24 -0800 https://4nm.us/posts/2017-webcomics/ 2017 webcomics year in review <p>More comics that I love are coming to an end, with things like Sam and Fuzzy and Surviving the World racing to their conclusions.</p> <p>Always Human made me cry. It’s ended, as well, so I’d recommend reading through its archives. Sweet little queer comic in a transhumanist world.</p> <ol> <li>blindsprings</li> <li>dumbing of age</li> <li>oglaf</li> <li>erfworld</li> <li>monster pulse</li> <li>questionable content</li> <li>go get a roomie!</li> <li>stand still stay silent</li> <li>saturday morning breakfast cereal</li> <li>glass scientists</li> <li>nerf now!</li> <li>surviving the world</li> <li>trans girl next door</li> <li>dinosaur comics</li> <li>jailbird</li> <li>headless bliss</li> <li>chainsawsuit</li> <li>cat and girl</li> <li>kill six billion demons</li> <li>mercy (sunstone)</li> <li>always human</li> <li>the quick and dirty life of fritz fargo</li> <li>girl genius</li> <li>fowl language comics</li> <li>poorly drawn lines</li> <li>wondermark</li> <li>back</li> <li>extra ordinary</li> <li>octopus pie</li> <li>xkcd</li> <li>sam and fuzzy</li> <li>o human star</li> <li>scandinavia and the world</li> <li>agents of the realm</li> <li>trash bird</li> <li>dresden codak</li> <li>death bulge</li> </ol> 2017 youtube series https://4nm.us/posts/2017-youtube/ Tue, 09 Jan 2018 15:08:24 -0800 https://4nm.us/posts/2017-youtube/ 2017 youtube year in review <p>This is a bit of a weird one, but I split “assorted” into both webcomics and Youtube channels so that I could do a bit more honest tracking of what I’ve consumed for media.</p> <p>I really heavily dropped off on this one, mostly because I forgot that following men tends to be terrible. I’m looking forward to watching a bit more of KatherineOfSky and other women’s playthroughs as I keep track of this.</p> More ...
