Let's have them. You don't technically have to do stuff that was released in 2024 but it's preferred. It's also fine if it's just something you discovered this year as I appreciate there won't be many of us who have 5 top books all from 2024 unless we're avid readers.

Haven’t watched a single film or show this year. I don’t think I’ve even listened to an album. Does the game have to have been released in 2024? If so, nothing there as well.
 
Added Balatro to my games, forgot about that.

Also come on people. I want suggestions.

Spending all your recreation time on redcafe. Respect :cool:
 
I don't game, and I can't think of any movies that really grabbed me this year, so I'm just doing albums, since there was a feckload of stuff I thought was great this year. In no order:

Chat Pile - Cool World
William Elliott Whitmore - Silent, The Mind Breaks
Chilton - Chilton
Flight Mode - The Three Times
J Robbins - Basilisk
Thou - Umbilical
JPEGMAFIA - I Lay Down My Life For You
Sheer Mag - Playing Favorites
Big 'N - End Comes Too Soon
Food Truck - Pure Gold
Hekseblad - Kaer Morhen
Human Impact - Gone Dark
Jesu - Hard To Reach
Whores. - War
Jon Snodgrass - Barge At Will
Oh, Are They? - Guilt
Oriska - Oriska
Psychic Wars - Psychic Wars
Slower - Slower
Tzompantli - Beating The Drums of Ancestral Force
Carly Cosgrove - The Cleanest of Houses Are Empty

I probably could have kept going. Drug Church, Hot Water Music, Weeping, Bongripper, Les Savy Fav, Owen, Palomino Blond and Tintoretto all put out records I liked a lot this year too. My finger is well off the pulse of electronic music these days, so I don't think I heard a single new electronica record this year.
