In the short term, this means there will be fewer blogs on the site as we rest and recuperate for the next couple weeks. But! We’ll still be running stories here and there. In the meantime, we’d like to thank all of you for the incredible support you’ve shown this past year. Aftermath – and the many fun, interesting, and occasionally indulgent pieces we’ve been able to write – wouldn’t exist without you. Independence is empowering but also terrifying; there’s no institutional safety net to catch us when we fall (and then unceremoniously lay us off about it). By subscribing, you’ve provided us with assurance that you, our readers, have our backs and value what we do. We plan to continue making it worth your while. We’ve got big plans for next year, and we hope you’re as excited as we are to see what’s to come. For now, though, if you need some holiday reading – or if you’re just joining us, as many of you did during our anniversary sale last month – here are some of our greatest hits: [How A Leftist Meme Account Accidentally Fooled Everyone Into Believing A Famous Quote Came From Final Fantasy](https://aftermath.site/how-a-leftist-meme-account-accidentally-fooled-everyone-into-believing-a-famous-quote-came-from-final-fantasy-tactics/) [Making A Skating Game Set In Palestine Has Become An Act Of Resistance](https://aftermath.site/making-a-skating-game-set-in-palestine-has-become-an-act-of-resistance/) [It's Exhausting To Read Video Game Website Headlines](https://aftermath.site/its-exhausting-trying-to-read-video-game-website-headlines/) [What Happened To “The World’s Best Stereo System?”](https://aftermath.site/the-worlds-best-stereo-system-what-happened-ken-fritz/) [You Could Just Keep Doing Dry January](https://aftermath.site/dry-january-sober-curious/) [Games Journalism: An FAQ](https://aftermath.site/games-journalism-an-faq/) [Why So Many Games Journalists End Up Going Into Game Development](https://aftermath.site/games-journalism-game-development-ign-kotaku/) [The Very Dumb Reason Why I Can’t Play Final Fantasy VII](https://aftermath.site/final-fantasy-vii-fandom-parasocial-heartbreak/) [Nobody Needs To Know How Many People Are Playing A Singleplayer Video Game.
