I reflect on this year of my gaming experiences, including my favorite stories in games, and my overall favorite game from 2023. 

I talk about the success of the NBA In-Season Tournament and my initial skepticism, along with progressing along in 13 Sentinels. 

I talk about my second bout with COVID, talk about the Warriors' recent bad losses, and finally catch up on some shows like Severance. 

I catch up on the NBA season and reflect on Tears of the Kingdom sixth months after its release, commenting on some of the criticisms that have popped up. 

I talk about finally watching Whiplash, becoming the best, and how I may have perceived the movie if I saw it when younger. 

I talk about going to a Warriors game, early struggles for some NBA teams, and continuing to grow the gaming backlog. 

I talk about the first week of the NBA, gambling, and irrational fans. 

I talk about my experience with Mairo Wonder so far, impulse purchases, and having outdated hardware. 

I talk about the NBA Preseason, broadcasting rights, and the absolute awful state of streaming basketball games. 

I talk about the NBA Preseason, my sleep type, and my initial thoughts on "13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim".
