Since I already did films ... this year's cream of the crop of TV came down to two series for me: Andor S2: Worthy of all the accolades, and well worth the wait, S2 of Andor was iconic and now cements Andor as one of the best Sci-fi series I've ever watched. So many quotable moments, excellent...

For me AP clearly means "All Purpose", like AP Flour ;-) As for sales ... no one, not Pathfinder, not Daggerheart, are in DnD's league. That doesn't mean Daggerheart isn't doing shockingly well on its own terms.

For us, it's Uzska (mushroom and onion filled small dumplings) served in Borscht that is always the first course at Xmas dinner.

I liked the finale, it wrapped up the series in a satisfying way. I'm guessing we're just going to skip or gloss over the legal ramifications, because the gang racked up an impressive body count on Kay's seemingly endless supply of soldiers. It's funny, in discussions, a lot of my friends were...

It's more a Christmas movie than Die Hard

I haven't picked it up yet, but there's a copy of Forge of the Artificer with my name on it at the LGS.

My only beef with it was it was just a setting up the finale episode. Sure, Will finally coming out was well done, but a lot felt like putting pieces into place.

I went with Gochujang chili paste and Tumeric, but yes, some heat to burn out the cold and open the sinuses is a go to for me.

Of course, as an addendum, since I'm sick on NYE, a strong runner up is chicken noodle soup, as I just made myself a bowl. Chicken stock, veg, a lot of minced ginger, egg and ramen noodles.

It's a joke I make occasionally, that because I'm half Chinese, half Polish, I'm genetically disposed to liking dumplings. But to heck with it, I'm going to lean into that. Dumplings, whether steamed, boiled or pan fried are the best food. They cover the bases of starches, can have vegetable or...

Best Movies: Sinners and Superman Favourite Movie: KPop Demon Hunters ... and I'm not even a little ashamed about it, and I don't have kids, so rewatching it over and over was all me. The soundtrack was in constant replay, the animation was joyous ... the tiger was so cute. Worst Movie: Wicked...

Hmmm, well, if it were me ... I don't expect I could remain hidden for long, because my idea of "doing good" would definitely cause some political ripples and upset some very powerful organizations. As stopping an ongoing invasion and a genocide would probably be items 1 and 2 on the list. And...

If you're gonna hang a lampshade through a fourth wall ... better do it with style and not some "aren't we so clever" smarm.

I'll probably be watching Stranger Things later tonight, though I doubt I'll binge it all, and then I have to watch the finale of Heated Rivalry.
