If you run D&D 5e, you might find that your boss monsters die easily. There's actually a simple reason for that!

The game was built around the assumption that characters would engage in about 20 rounds of combat between long rests.

We were probably off by a factor of 5.

Envisioning some high society extraction-style game where you're downing tea and cucumber sandwiches to regain stamina in-between boss fights with Mary Anne Cartwright being an absolute hag about your late uncle leaving her out of the will despite only being a 2nd cousin twice removed.

Being too deep in Vtuber Culture Example 1:
Seeing this album title and thinking, "Oh, I didn't realize Kanye was graduating. Seems overdue tbh."

Ahh
They framed a bunch of hanafuda cards made by vtubers at the Nintendo Museum, that’s crazy to me.

This is my new favorite image because it perfectly encapsulates the concern trolling and crybullying from the right when you give them even a fraction of what they spew out on a consistent basis.

I was going to post this article this weekend but Duolingo's recent doubling down on replacing humans with generative AI pushed me to get it out sooner.

Ok I feel obligated to follow up because I've seen a lot of discourse about doom posting - among other active hololive members, and the community repeating the sentiment.

Gawr Gura, a Vtuber is graduating from Hololive, and just released her final song. I've always compared to Vtubing and working in the game industry - both careers fraught with stress and burnout and awful corporate culture. This song feels like a sign of the times.

Anyone have any recommendations for YouTube alternatives? I've looked up lists, and seen Peertube and Vimeo at the top. The community view on YouTube is starting to show hate filled content as moderation is not up to standards and I'm just filtering to subscriptions at this point.
