This is a list of various media I’ve interacted with, organized by year and medium. I tried to make each row both unique and human-readable, without including too much redundant information that’s easy to look up elsewhere.
I’m not sure whether keeping this list public makes sense. It’s probably not super valuable to others, but I personally enjoy knowing what people are reading/playing/etc., to find things I might otherwise not have found. However, this comes with the (hopefully obvious) caveat that I don’t necessarily endorse something just because I’ve engaged with it.
