Love the expression of the guy on the left. Probably describes everything you need to know about the encounter.

Yep, they’re trying to create their own virtual tabletop, which will fit perfectly with that.

At some point start introducing power creep so players want to purchase access to new classes and feats.

DnD Beyond is laying all the ground work for full enshitification as they do a soft push away from 5e to whatever the fuck live service subscription and micro transaction model they’ll be pursuing.

Good news

Still concerning as “viability” moves up with medical advances.

Natural consequence of 1) google being shit, and 2) “looking something up” and similar phrases automatically meaning the internet. No one is going to assume the library anymore.

Very similar to what I was going to say.

One more I’d add is being honest with others. If I’m not writing it down or it isn’t set as a reminder on my phone chances are very low it’ll happen.

Web search used to be about scraping the web to find and present other people’s work as just that… their work. Now the handful of websites claim ownership of the contributions of everyone, and at this point it’s just corporations arguing about who owns your stuff. Pirates will not win out in this argument, except maybe in the very short term.

I’m not sure I’d buy a phone with a permanently etched message/advertisement from the manufacturer to other people.

Oh, that’s great, I think you’ve got to be almost there then!

Something else you can start adding is holding at the top then lowering down with as much control as possible, and pausing every inch or so. You can also work on shifting weight from one arm to the other between each pause (e.g. lower an inch with as much weight as you can on the left then pause for a second to shift as much as you can to the right and lower another inch).

One thing that I think helps is just hanging. Gets you used to carrying your bodyweight in a way that assisted doesn’t. What you’re doing will still help with full range of motion, but maybe at the end just hang as long as you can. At some point you can also add this at the top (e.g. hop up to bar to chin and hold as long as possible)
