Ok can someone explain why did Affinity nuke all the tutorials and guides they had on their youtube channel? Isn't this an absolute loss for everyone?

Now all that being said, I'll likely keep using my V2 Affinity for as long as i can.
Publisher was the one tool i thought the price of admission was worth upgrading from OSS alternatives. It has served me well so far, and i don´t see that changing.
This perpetual license will be perpetually used.

I'm seeing both praise and cursing directed at Affinity for their announcement of the new free version of their software, with the optional subscription for AI features.
I know better than to trust Canva, but i do think this is a boon for us if it manages to reduce Adobe's influence.

Yesterday I played a one shot of Into the Dark, by Stras Acimovic and @johnwsheldon.bsky.social
I really liked the post-apocalyptic, post-murk world it painted and the flavor of magic in it.
My lightbearer had a mundane and meaningless death, just like that hopeless world demanded! Great stuff!

For the last few years, up to roughly 5 months ago, following online TTRPGs discourse was a part of my daily life.
I actively made an effort to keep up with creators in the space, be it on blogs, YouTube, Twitch, bluesky/mastodon, etc.
I was deeply surrounded by this hobby, and I liked it

Thinking of going back to streaming my #TTRPG design work.
I miss the social pressure, and when some people show up to watch, its always good to discuss things over.
Also I have a ton of solo RPGs that I desperately want to play, and i would love to share all that online.

Glad to see that with #daggerheart coming out, a lot of #DnD creators are starting to cover it.
Hopefully this marks a change in the non-d20 #TTRPG coverage by the bigger names in the hobby, and we might even start seeing indie RPGs reaching heights I wouldn't imagine a few months ago.

You might have watched DnDShorts' great video on the 1976 #DnD rules for playing women (feat. @ginnydi.com) and found it shocking (rightfully so).
