Chatting to some friends about the sort of RPG characters I tend to play, and this came out. In short...
1) Human Labradors.
2) Disaster Bisexuals.
3) Manipulative shitheads
Everyone always talk about classes they play. What personality types do you play?

I was determined to finish painting some models this weekend, miniatures hobby clan; I can't say it was all that productive, but have a (Battletech) Wraith.

I backed Mantic's MyMiniFactory campaign so I could 3D print little fantasy ships... I was pleasantly surprised to find their Armada game is a re-skin of Black Seas, so it's probably fine. :)

NFTs are officially dead.
95% of NFTs are estimated to be literally worthless, with pieces from top collections mostly worth $5-$10.
Roughly 25 million people are sat on dead assets, thanks to celebrity endorsements. The speculative bubble has popped:

Did a session zero for my forthcoming Arthurian Pathfinder game last night. Immediately fell back into the "can you hear us?" nonsense... I suspect because having one bad connection on the call fucks it for everybody...
