Here's a video deep diving into the guy from that Destiny video that scared Paul from a while back. IYKYK

Came here in desperation, trying to find a specific creator. This is someone I discovered on Instagram. They have an ongoing comic strip series that features a protagonist who is male, kinda chubby, and usually wears a beanie and a midriff shirt. The comics are all black and white pencil. There is also another recurring character who is an old man that considers himself the king of his apartment building, but everyone hates him behind his back.

I went back through several years of my liked posts on IG to try to find this creator, but I suspect they've left the platform. Please respond if you think you know who it is. Thanks!

There's a pretty amusing post on this sub about Speed from 9 years ago that posited that not tipping the bus on its side or using forklifts to lift it up was a plot hole. But an actual plot hole I noticed was that the bomber is somehow able to see a tiny emblem on Sandra Bullock's jacket via a shitty little monitor. Not that big of a deal, but still pretty silly in an otherwise great action flick.

I've been trying recently to find a game to join online. I've been using Roll 20, since it seems to be one of the largest communities where you can find free games. I'll admit that I have a small sample size, because this is something I've just started looking into, but things seem a bit bleak so far.

For one group, several people in the ongoing game basically "interviewed" me via discord. There were a lot of jokes about how it was like a job interview. They were friendly and everything, but a few minutes after we hung up, I received a message that they had "gone with someone else" which made it feel like the worst aspect of a job interview.

Another time, I actually got through the lengthy "onboarding" process of a West marches style group with dozens or maybe hundreds of rotating players and DMs. I played one session, and found out that they were homebrew rules that completely video game-ified the whole experience. It was so elaborate that everything needed to be tracked via spreadsheets, and every player had to submit documentation after every single session. There were many options to choose from, but one of the veterans who walked me through the elaborate record keeping process pretty much made it seem like the power gamers had already figured out which options were the best, and crapped on all the options that actually seemed potentially fun or interesting.

TLDR-- finding people to play d&d with online is potentially even harder than convincing IRL friends to play
