Never do sponsored content on the thing that your sponsors make money from. "we are talking about AI" sponsored by "AI company/organization" leads to lying and being a mouthpiece.

Online content creation is so bizarre.

Someone can have hundreds of thousands of followers across multiple platforms and you could have never heard of them.

Someone else could have less than 100k and somehow everyone is the field is like "this person is THE creator we all look up to..."

i was speed watching All American Girl, a 1990s sitcom with Margaret Cho about a korean american family, and i noticed:
1) the korean accents on most of the actors is awful, especially when speaking korean. None of the main actors are korean (cho excluded)
2) Ashley Johnson is in this show!

I had a flair for the theatrical, but I was also an Asian kid who grew up with a tiger mom. I rebelled from folks saying I should be a lawyer
I was pre-med, then switch to poli sci to live out my west wing fantasy...

Then my spouse started law school and I found I enjoyed the subject.
What’s the lore behind choosing your career path ?

Reading a book while listening to the audio book going at 3x speed feels like an adhd life hack I wish I've had for years

I made some korean chicken noodle soup. It turned out really well.

Made it spicy with some gochugaru and sesame oil paste... because I'm korean and it must be spicy.

The intense guilt of my day job (which pays my bills) disrupting my ability to do my fun job (making youtube videos which recenlty stopped actively costing me money to produce.)

I actively feel bad that I cant get a video put every 2 months

I originally wanted to be a weekly video channel 🤣😛🫠

I'd doing my re-read of the lord of the rings.
And I was actually excited to get to the section on Tom Bombadil.
It has been 30 years since I read the book. I felt like I was experiencing it for the first time

It was awful. I'm team anti-bombadil. Felt like a complete waste.

I hate the phrase "it was a simpler time."

The world, the times, were never simple. The chaotic mess that we see was always chaotic, possibly more so than now. But many people didn't know that, because information was slower and more controlled.

It isn't easy to conceptualize "the world"

Playing dnd with my 6 and 9 year old went amazingly well! They can't wait to play again!

So very true
About half the time when I block someone on Youtube what I really want to do is say "Are you alright man? You sound like someone who's going through a lot right now."

Hey folks,

I need a campaign map maker tool. what are you favorites? Preferably free/single purchase. I don't like subscriptions.

Also, i know about Azgaar but i am looking for something with more of a old timey feeling to it. Like the maps you find in the front of novels.

Today, after my jujitsu class, I had to play that time honored game:

Who's blood is on my gi?

At this point I'm still not sure...

My Draw Steel game is having a theme of a brutal world where death is around every corner.
But that is more of a result of me not knowing the monster mechanics as well as I do dnd.
i set up a random encounter that was like an adventure end boss.
in my defense, most of the characters survived.

This is why I dont like "dunking" on folks or making blanket statements of "f- you if you" whatever. I dont think it helps, it simply reinforces tribalism. I feel too many folks just want to be the ones holding the bat as opposed to stopping the beatings
Building the better world is harder than hate
To be clear, shame is NOT GOOD. It is a last-resort societal tool that barely ever works on anyone who deserves it. Stop shaming people and start building a better world. Here, let a mental health professional say it: youtube.com/clip/UgkxWC7...

I finally saw Fantastic Four.

Good gravy, I did not like that movie at all.

Folks were telling me it was as good or better than Superman.

And i get that i'm a superman fanboy... but, for me...

Not even close.

My new Draw Steel books came in! Already having fun with the game (I've had the PDFs and played the Delian tomb) and figuring out tweaks to curate it to my group.

There is a certain type of fun that can be had by watching different countries movie propaganda.
By that I mean the movies made by their film industry that clearly is designed to vilify the "enemy" and glorify the "home team".
I'm so used to US propaganda that it lost some of its hilarious lustre.

So i made a comment during my home Draw steel game about a universal greeting as opposed to "common language".
when asked about what that is, i said,
"Bah wep graa gnah wheep ni ni bong"

none of my players understood... they called me "boomer" for being the only one alive when that movie came out.

There are days when I wished my job understood I have a youtube channel to run.

Hey, question for the community:

What's the best fantasy rpgs for kids? The mix of cute, simple mechanics, and classic adventure feelings.

Kids under 10 years old.

I dont really understand the big deal about getting a replica crown from the Silla kingdom. They didnt give him a real one. It's in a museum. There is literally the same type of replica at my local collectors store.
I didnt want to spend $400 on a joke, or I would have bought it.

It's kind of funny, when I was last reading the hot new books in fantasy was the late 2000s/early 2010s.

Four of the series i was really into back then remain in limbo.
1) Crescent moon kingdoms (series never cont after book 1)
2) asoiaf (stalled so much the TV show ended first) cont. (1/2)

So im watching Physical: Asia and of course I'm rooting for Korea...

But the the Mongolian team is flipping cool and they do this bow and arrow thing as a team and it's awesome.

Also Thailand has this black, gay, Thai volleyball player and he is amazing! He came out in heels. *chefs kiss*
