Inspired by Soderbergh’s annual list of “seen, read,” and with the help of almost two full months of journaling (sigh), Goodreads and the Netflix’ viewing history (there will be some misplaced but memorable mentions at the end):
All caps, bold: MOVIE, All caps: TV SERIES, Italics: Book, Quotation marks: “Video game”
Disclaimer: a lot of the movies are rewatches and a lot of the books are rereads (signified with * when remembered) but worst of all, a lot of the shows are just really crappy dating reality TV.

Various media that cannot be accurately dated
- Saw DUNE (2021) in IMAX (likely in November).
- Saw MANHUNTER (1986), THIEF (1981), SONATINE (1993), VIOLENT COP (1989), HARD BOILED* (1992), BOSS LEVEL (2020), THE TOMORROW WAR (2021), NO TIME TO DIE (2021), AMERICAN MOVIE (1999) & probably others at home. I am pretty sure that we also saw all MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE* movies this year, but Netflix only remembers the last one.
- Video games: played a bunch of “Chrono Trigger” (SNES), “Parasite Eve” (PS1), “The Last Of Us Remastered” (PS4), “Horizon: Zero Dawn” (PS4), “TIS-100” (PC), but did not finish (would love to, eventually). Played and finished “GTA V” (PS4), “C&C: Red Alert 2″* (PC), “Grim Fandango Remastered” (PC), “The Curse of Monkey Island”* (PC) and “Beneath a Steel Sky” (PC). Spent a lot of hours in “Stardew Valley” (PC, PS4) and “Gang Beasts” (PS4) with lovely friends.
- Board games: got to play one! session of “Symbaroum” RPG live and in person, and got in a few “regular” board games as well (notably: Concordia, Root, one game of Oath).
- Started watching SUCCESSION in December, and have probably watched at least some of SOPRANOS S03 & S04 throughout the year, but unlike Netflix, HBO GO doesn’t keep a detailed viewing history.
- I will likely keep adding to this list as I (mis)remember more.
