I am rearranging the sections a bit since the distinction between “movies” and “TV” is kinda blurry these days anyway and “serialized visual media” didn’t quite have the right ring to it. I’m also pulling interesting articles up to the top since that’s more what I want to focus sharing on anyway.</p><p>That means these monthly posts now have four sections: Reading (articles and books), Playing (video games and tabletop games), Watching (movies and TV and so forth), and Listening (music and podcasts). That last category is probably my most consumed form of media, since I listen in the background while doing chores or working but not in a meeting, but also the most routine in that there’s not a lot new there to highlight in these posts.</p><p><strong>Reading</strong></p><p>Kid and I continued reading Wildwood out loud although we’re kinda stuck on it and might DNF. As usual a lot of my online reading is about current trends in generative AI as well as the future of the personal web.</p><p><strong><a href="https://marketplace.dndbeyond.com/category/3710000?pid=DB3710000" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">D&amp;D Dungeon Master’s Guide (2024)</a></strong></p><p>I will probably do a longer write up of the DMG like <a href="https://blog.ultranurd.net/2024/11/03/dnd-players-handbook-2024/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">I did with the PHB</a>. It’s a lot of the same review: they pulled in a lot of content into the core game but really focused on bringing new DMs into the fold with a lot of great advice that is useful even as someone who has run games on and off for 25 years.

It got a lot of buzz from my usual game channels. It’s short (a few hours) and linear (really only one correct path forward at any given time) but the minigames and art style and dialogue are a lot of fun. I played it on Switch. Definitely recommend if you like digestible games with a cool and weird vibe.</p>An actual liminal space<p><strong>Watching</strong></p><p>The late timing of Thanksgiving this year meant normally we wouldn’t start Christmas movies into December, but we started squeezing some in anyway, including annual favorites like <a href="https://www.justwatch.com/us/movie/elf" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Elf</a>. We also tried some likely not repeats like <a href="https://www.netflix.com/us/title/81084350?s=i&amp;trkid=258593161&amp;vlang=en" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">The Princess Switch: Switched Again</a> and <a href="https://www.netflix.com/us/title/81594532?s=i&amp;trkid=258593161&amp;vlang=en" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Irish Wish</a> (not Christmas); it is nice to see a resurgence in family friendly rom-coms, that was a staple of my family’s Blockbuster rentals. We also started the last 😢 season of <a href="http://www.memory-alpha.org/wiki/Star_Trek:_Lower_Decks" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Star Trek: Lower Decks</a>.</p><p><strong><a href="https://www.justwatch.com/us/movie/little-women-1994" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Little Women (1994)</a></strong></p><p>I don’t think I’d seen this since it came out, but it’s a favorite of Andrle’s and also Christmas-adjacent. Pretty impressive cast and a really good period drama. There’s a random fancy house stairwell in one of the ball scenes and I thought it looked like <a href="https://thecastle.ca" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Craigdarroch Castle</a>, which we visited last fall; the credits mentioned Victoria, BC so I’m sure I was right. It’s always weird how my brain works for recognizing architecture like that.</p><p><strong>Back-up Beepers: Obnoxious But Getting Better</strong></p><p>I complained about the noise from a construction site up the alley and got a reply with this interesting explanation.
