Look at movies that go through film festivals like Cannes or Sundance.

There’s been great movies made, not all movies are giant studios trying to maximize profits.

Data is data, you could store anything there. The question is if this would eventually reach some sort of consumer market. By the looks of it it’s in a very early stage (where all equipment to read and write is still in RnD phase) so it’s not where you can have a sata cable attached to it in your pc.

Recent? You mean the last decade.

Why comment without even reading the article?

Safety razors are great. One time purchase of a good quality one with very cheap blades that come in the hundreds. No stupid disposable plastic sticks.

What’s the current state of that? Haven’t really kept up with SC news for years mow.

Coders cost money and coding takes time.

I don’t know how you could change the engine without rewriting the entire thing basically from scratch.

Companies say they want to make sustainable goods but won’t make less profits.

Those shows have people that play the game a lot (critical role played for years before going live), they don’t teach mechanics to their viewers.

Even combat, having to flee with half your party dead is peak DnD. At least in BG3 you can easily revive them.

Might not be the game for you. Part of the appeal of dnd for me is not being to get everything because of the dice. Not every door can be unlocked, not every social interaction will succeed. Even combat, I have to flee with half the party dead and then revive them later because a critical spell didn’t succeed or a concentration save wasn’t made.

Dnd 5e has many legacy concepts that exist the way they do just because thats how older versions worked.

Social hobbies: dancing lessons, martial arts, game stores (that host dnd or mtg), etc.
