Presents are under trees, lights are looking downright strewn, and snow is on the ground where climate change still permits that to happen. To celebrate the occasion, we got ourselves a little gift: two weeks of blissful (mostly) rest. From now until January 4 or so, things are going to be a little quieter than usual around here. We’ll still be running the odd blog, but it’s been a long – and for Aftermath, [eventful](https://aftermath.site/aftermath-relaunch-announcement/)! – year, and we’re planning to recharge so we can come out swinging in 2026\. Thank you to everyone reading for making all of this possible! We literally could not be here without you, nor would we want to. We had no idea what to expect when we kicked off this experiment what feels like two eternities ago, but against all odds in an era of layoffs and site closures, our little slice of internet persists – and continues to grow! This year we brought on two regular contributors, [Isaiah](https://aftermath.site/author/isaiahcolbert/) and [Nicole](https://aftermath.site/author/nicolecarpenter/), and in the coming weeks we’ll be welcoming a regular columnist into our ranks as well. We even threw a party! [It ruled](https://aftermath.site/the-aftermath-party-was-good/). We’ve published numerous stories of which we are immensely proud – which you enabled by subscribing, thereby ensuring that we were significantly less subject to the fickle whims of SEO and algorithms than others. Speaking of, here’s some reading material to keep you vaguely conscious while you digest an entire gingerbread village and all its residents: [‘Lay Off CEOs Instead’: Game Awards Protesters Fed Up With The Show And The State Of The Industry](https://aftermath.site/game-awards-2025-protest-future-class-uvw/) [The Rise And Fall of Queer Cartoons](https://aftermath.site/queer-cartoons-elon-musk-libsoftiktok-dogs-in-space-netflix/) [A Digital Audio Player Renewed My Love Of Music](https://aftermath.site/digita-audio-player-snowsky-echo-mini-fiio-hyby/) [Horses Is Tame](https://aftermath.site/horses-indie-game-banned-steam-epic-review-impressions-santa-ragione/) [Kensuke Ushio Dove Deep Creating The Emotionally Devastating Score For Chainsaw Man – The Movie: Reze Arc](https://aftermath.site/kensuke-ushio-chainsaw-man-the-movie-reze-arc-score-soundtrack-interview/) [Instead Of Relying On Wealthy Donors, Congressional Candidate Kat Abughazaleh Is Using A Twitch Stream To Raise Money – And Fight A Federal Indictment](https://aftermath.site/kat-abughazaleh-interview-twitch-stream-chicago-congress-indictment/) [Two Months After Firing Over Charlie Kirk Comments, Ghost Of Yotei Dev Blames Harassment Campaign, Not ‘Bad Joke’](https://aftermath.site/sucker-punch-charlie-kirk-fired/) [What Cyberpunk 2077 Can Teach Real-World Cities](https://aftermath.site/cyberpunk-urban-design/) [The Art Of Playing The Damn Video Game](https://aftermath.site/vampire-masquerade-bloodlines-2/) [How Fortnite Friday Grew From A Bit Into An Institution That Could Pull Gavin Newsom](https://aftermath.site/fortnite-friday-connoreatspants-interview-gavin-newsom/) [AI Is The Ultimate "Forced Meme"](https://aftermath.site/ai-is-the-ultimate-forced-meme/) [Check Out This Pair Of 'Ridge Racer' Sneakers, Reportedly Made To Commemorate Kaz Hirai's Famous E3 2006 Presentation](https://aftermath.site/nike-playstation-ridge-racer-kaz-hirai/) [Hades 2's Story Doesn't Change The Status Quo](https://aftermath.site/hades-2-ending/) [What’s Harder To Draw: Horses Or Kisses?
