Time sure does fly, huh?

Steve and Joe reminisce about some movies, music, television, and video games that kept them afloat throughout 2025.

Maybe 2026 will be the year that Joe plays Clair Obscur: Expedition 33? Perhaps Steve will finally watch LOST?

Hahahaha.

Collin McClutchy is a talented person. He produces records for Sword and Dagger Audio in Brooklyn, NY. In addition to crafting soundtracks for multiple seasons of My First Dungeon, Collin creates “synth music for sworn swords and sorcerers” as BE/HOLD. Somehow Collin also finds time to be an avid reader of fantasy, sci-fi, and speculative fiction.

How does reading speculative fiction inform one’s own artistic and professional path?

Brazilian twins Fábio Moon and Gabriel Bá created Joe’s favorite comic ever, Daytripper. They call it “an honest meditation on mortality.”

How can a comic about death make a person want to live more and better?
