Most recently: Hamnet By the end, this is a gut-wrenching, tear-jerking kind of movie, especially if you've raised children. Jessie Buckley should get an Oscar for the final scene alone.

Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy It's possible that my wife and I quote this movie daily.

A focus on doing the essentials better, rather than adding lots of whistles and bells? Kudos to them.

Off the top of my head I'd say Raiders of the Lost Ark as well. I don't know how you do what that movie's doing any better than how it does it, and I love what it's doing and how it does it. I think Harrison Ford playing Indiana Jones directed by Steven Spielberg is 100% solid gold, even in...

I hate how many things I think I need in front of me to run a game, and I can't seem to talk myself out of it. I wind up switching between too many things, which makes me anxious. Also, when I don't immediately know the answer to something or know what to do next, I default to panicking. If I...

This is an impressive piece of work - if anyone here has used this, please speak up about it.

To quote Steven Colbert: I have kids - that I know of!

I appreciate the thoughts and analysis. I would counter that for neurodivergent folks such as myself it is not that simple. If I turn on do-not-disturb or airplane mode, will I remember to turn it off? Will I remember to set a timer to remind myself to turn it off? Will I set the mode to turn...

I don't see how using Do Not Disturb mode is excercising willpower. Is it the willpower to turn it on? It has to be because after turning it on there's no willpower involved - the DND mode is doing it for you. Unless the willpower is also in resisting the urge to turn it off? Regardless...

Yeah - that is not a game I want to play. When digital comic books first became viable everyone in the print comics biz was worried it would be the end of comics. Instead, the presence of digital comics made more people aware of comics in general, or that comics were "still a thing". (I used...

I didn't realize this until now, but for the first two decades or so of my gaming life I never used a computer for anything ttrpg-related. I'm that old! It also occurs to me that - maybe partly because of the above - there is nothing appealing to me about using AI for anything in my gaming...

"MORTAL ENEMIES!!!"

IIRC, Reed's dad is canonically a real piece of work, so it's takes little to imagine Reed and Victor sharing that dad.

Oh, and we have an electric stove from 1956! It came with the house. It's a big one, with warming drawers and everything.
