While playing 5e, can you never find a spell worth casting that doesn't eat at that concentration you're already holding?
In #6thDawn I've modified spellcasting where concentration is usually optional, but you might not want to give it up.

Optional Concentration Some spells have an active component beyond yourself that you must control, but otherwise work without your intervention. If you choose to concentrate on these spells, they work just as concentration spells above. However, you can choose to not concentrate on them, this keeps the spell going with no control over it whatsoever. Fear 3rd-rank illusion Casting Time: 1 action Range: Self (30-foot cone) Components: V, S, M (a white feather or the heart of a hen) Duration: Optional concentration, up to 1 minute You project a phantasmal image of a creature's worst fears. Each creature in a 30-foot cone must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or drop whatever it is holding and become frightened of you for the duration. *While concentrating on this spell*, you can use your action to target all creatures in another 30-foot cone, but can't affect a creature again if it has succeeded on a saving throw against this casting of fear. Invisibility 2nd-rank illusion Casting Time: 1 action Range: Touch Components: V, S, M (an eyelash encased in gum arabic) Duration: Optional concentration, up to 1 hour A creature you touch becomes invisible until the spell ends. Anything the target is wearing or carrying is invisible as long as it is on the target's person. The spell ends for a target that attacks or casts a spell. *While concentrating on the spell* and no creatures currently benefit from the spell, you can use your action to touch another creature to turn it invisible. Moonbeam 2nd-rank evocation Casting Time: 1 action Range: 120 feet Components: V, S, M (several seeds of any moonseed plant and a piece of opalescent feldspar) Duration: Optional concentration, up to 1 minute A silvery beam of pale light shines down in a 5-foot radius, 40-foot-high cylinder centered on a point within range. Until the spell ends, dim light fills the cylinder. When a creature enters the spell's area for the first time on a turn or starts its turn there, it is engulfed in ghostly flames that cause searing pain, and it must make a Constitution saving throw. It takes 2d10 radiant damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. A shapechanger makes its saving throw with disadvantage. If it fails, it also instantly reverts to its original form and can't assume a different form until it leaves the spell's light. *While concentrating on this spell*, you can use an action to move the beam 60 feet in any direction.

The IRS is reportedly not offering its Direct File program next year. Here’s a look back at how TurboTax owner Intuit spent two decades fighting to prevent Americans from filing their taxes online for free:

Joyce Carol Oates absolutely reading Elon Musk for filth is pretty incredible, but something I'd point out is his feigned interest in games, and how fake that was, paying people to boost his accounts and play for him, and the rare time we actually got to see him play, he was absolutely miserable.

Players of the beta for upcoming Hoyo title Petit Planet have noticed there’s an AI chatbot featured and at least one barista NPC whose dialogue is generated by AI

Fans of their titles are defending it saying “this is a good use of AI” and “you can’t stop AI at this point.”

This is from the TOS:
From the Petit Planet terms of service.: 6. Al Limitations a. Certain in-game features ("Features") of COGNOSPHERE Services, such as a chatbot, make use of artificial intelligence ("Al") technology and is solely for your personal entertainment and non-commercial purposes only. b. When you interact with a Feature by submitting input ("Input"), the Feature may generate output based on your Input ("Output" ). You bear full and sole responsibility for ensuring your Input complies with all applicable laws and this Agreement. c. Outputs generated by a Feature may include content that is inaccurate, incomplete, outdated, offensive, or otherwise inappropriate, and do not represent the views, advice, intentions or positions of COGNOSPHERE. COGNOSPHERE does not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or appropriateness of any output generated by this Feature. d. You agree not to rely on any output from any Feature as fact, or as advice, and not to use it in situations where accuracy, reliability, or context is critical. This includes, without limitation, use in legal, medical, financial, psychological, educational, housing, employment, credit, insurance-related matters, or in any other context where decisions may carry legal, regulatory, personal, or material consequences for you or others.e. You may provide feedback regarding any Output through available feedback channels or contact methods. COGNOSPHERE may, where reasonably feasible and within our operational capacity, review such feedback and take any action we deem appropriate.

Hey! Thanks for the space :)

Not much to show yet, but I have announced the release date of my upcoming webcomic called Thian & Zarvin, which is a sci-fi buddy comedy full of dark humor, crazy shenanigans, intrigue and political satire. It's coming on ComicFury on the 28th of this month ^^
#TnZ
Promotional image for "Thian and Zarvin" showing an asian emo girl with dyed teal hair holding in front of her face a small round robot displaying the date: "28/11". The tagline above reads: "This future was not built for us." Large book cover for Thian & Zarvin, showing two cartoony characters, an asian emo girl with black hair underdyed teal, and a tan guy with black hair pulled back except for a blonde tuft and wearing a songkok, walking behind a small pink and green robot that's leaking something on the floor. Behind them is a collage of floating heads and machines in tones of purple. A scene from a comic page, a man in silhouette carries a box to his flying vehicle over a dense and chaotic cityscape. Several panels can be seen in the background showing ads. Cartoony drawing of two people in a park, Thian (an emo asian girl wearing a skirt, black leggings, a vest and with short black hair underdyed teal with her arms crossed) and Zarvin (a tan muslim man wearing a songkok, with long hair caught in a ponytail and a short blonde tuft in front, wearing loose brown pants, yellow shirt and a red scarf) looking at a small robot in the center, round with two wheels, a bent antenna and a screen for a face showing two analog smiling eyes.
