It’s so fun (and relieving) reading stuff like this from other creators cause this is the exact same shit that happens to me. “Oh I have 40 things I should be doing? What if I spent today doing some single specific thing that’s also very cool but none of those 40 things” So relatable.

@scenefour.bsky.social you asked and I’ve delivered! In this episode Dusty and I take a look at gambling and betting mechanics in TTRPGs but our game at the end is very much not a TTRPG. I've been behind on this with so much other stuff *BUT* this was a great episode that I’m so happy with.

I lose so much respect when I see people getting so lost in discourse (especially inconsequential stuff) that they start name calling and getting aggressive. Like, sure fine. You’re frustrated. But it’s people with feelings on the other end of this thing too. Just keep that in mind, please?

This is exactly how a lot of the pro-AI sentiment I have seen in a couple of Hank’s videos seems to me. The absolute insane output from him (and others) just really doesn’t seem necessary, but at a certain point one person can only do so much. There’s productivity obsessed seem primed for AI.
