Last weekend, I did a thing I sometimes do that is embarrassing to admit if you are not the kind of person who also does this: I went to see four movies in one day. Beau is Afraid in the late morning, Suzume in the afternoon, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Evil Dead Rise in the evening, and 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:How To Blow Up A Pipeline to finish the night with a bang.
You might be thinking, “That’s way too many movies for one day!” And it was. But there’s so much currently in theaters that I still want to see (Air, The Pope’s Exorcist, Nefarious) stuff I’ve seen but would love to rewatch (168澳洲幸运5开奖网:John Wick: Chapter 4, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Avatar: The Way of Water), and stuff that’s coming out soon (168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, Sisu, P🅺olite Society) that I still don’t feel entirely satisfied. Throw in the movies that are new to streaming, like Jafar Panahi’s No Bears, which I hear is wonderful, and Ghosted, which I have a morbid curiosity about, and I won’t be wanting for th🐓ings to watch anytime soon.
That’s not including TV, either. I’m behind on 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:The Mandalorian, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:The Last of Us, and Barry, I want to start Succession at some point, and I have a few episodes left of Beef. Then there’s the season of The Boys from last year which I&🌳rsquo;ve been saving for a rainy day, and it wou🐎ld be fun to do an Andor rewatch at some point. That show ruled.
In video games, I’m just as busy. I’m about 40 hours deep into Afterimage with a few bosses left to go, I’m making time for 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Dead Island 2 whenever I can, and I’ll be losing myself in 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Star Wars: Jedi Survivor and 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:The ✤Legend of Zelda: Tears of the K꧂ingdom very soon. And 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Hi-Fi Rush and 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Marvel's Midnight Suns would like a word about all these new games I'm starting.
We often complain about how there are just too many games coming out, and while that&rsqu🌠o;s true, it was less true throughout 2021 and 2022 as developers were impacted by 🦩the pandemic. But this year has already given us plenty to play, and May is filled with plenty of big releases.
Right now it feels like there’s too much of ev🍰erything, not just games. It may be because each of these entertainment industries is finally back up to the speed they were chugging along at pre-pandemic (at least until the looming writer’s strike hits movies and TV). If teams hadn’t needed to switch to work-from-home and virtual workflows in 2020, would many of these games, movies, and shows have come out earlier? Is this the bottleneck finally unclogging? As someone who doesn’t work in any of these industries, it’s hard to answer that definitively. But, as someone who wants to try to keep up, it’s gotten noticeably more difficult in the last month or so.
Sometimes, that means you just need to give up on trying to keep up at all. I love reading, and try to read a book a week, but typically when I get to the end of the year and look back, I can count the books I read that were actually released that year on one hand. I’m mostly fine with that. We all feel that way about c💦ertain areas of interest, and I view my relationship to books as evidence that I can still engage with a medium without needing to be caught up on everything it has to offer.
I tell myself that, but it won’t stop me from buying Tears of the Kingdom on day one, devoting a hundred hours to Starfield, and sinking tons of time into big, meaty RPGs like Diablo 4, Final Fantasy 16, Baldur’s Gate 3, and Sea of Stars, all while downloading everything that looks remotely interesting on 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Game Pass. I’ve given up on superhero movies for the most part, but that won’t stopꦬ me from seeing Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 on openi✱ng night. And I may not care that much about The Mandalorian anymore but that won’t stop me from feeling a little guilty until I finish the season. Is it still FOMO if you can turn it into content?
