Deciphering the Medium's Ending and Lilianne's Mental Healthscape
3It's been weeks in the making. We've hinted at our opinions, shared inklings into the depths of our minds. But what really happened at the end of the Medium?
In this instalment of Not Another Review, we get into the nitty and gritty of what makes The Medium so phenomenal, so lackluster, and so brilliantly confusing. With baited breath we waited for the end, but you don't have to.

✨The Cosmology of Games✨ is a collective of rogue scholarship, broadly in Games and Media studies, Interaction Science produced by (ex)academics, friends, and good ol' nerds.
Simply put, we like games, we like culture, and we like talking about these things in a way that's accessible and mobilizes knowledge. Content includes critical playthroughs of current and old (video)games, reviews, and commentaries on games and gaming culture. Warning, we're salty. We like to think of roasting more as a gentle braise and none of this content is curated from a malicious place—but we refuse to mince our words if we're calling out bullshit. We want to encourage conversation and discussion—we can share our opinions, and disagree, without being bigoted. Keep the comments classy.
