    On directors side, I always pay attention to movies made by Christopher Nolan and Denis Villeneuve.

    Franchise wise, Marvel is reliable enough so far to provide good entertainment, although the genre itself (superhero movies) is no longer as exciting as it used to.

    I'm more of an audiobook person nowadays. At least, it gets me to consume books again.

    I just finished Exhalation by Ted Chiang. Wonderful short stories. It really invites you to think deeper about the themes that each story tries to convey. My favorites are: the merchant and the alchemist's gate, The truth of fact the truth of feeling, and Anxiety is the dizziness of freedom.

    I'm currently listening to "23 things they don't tell you about capitalism" by Ha-Joon Chang. I'm still very early in the book.

    Another vote for Manjaro. I like the rolling release model. I also find it to be stable enough for my needs.

    I have fond memories of Final Fantasy Tactics leveling system. The jobs system and the ability to combine skills from different jobs are great.
