How did the Dungeons and Dragons channel go from characters and game talk to being filled with dick art and porn adverts?

The 50501 Movement has planned protests at all 50 state capitols and the U.S. Capitol on Presidents’ Day at noon. While mainstream media isn’t covering it, many YouTubers have stepped up to provide coverage.

But to army painter's credit, after changing nozzles from an empty soft tone bottle, the paint seems to be reconstituting really well after adding some water.
Color me impressed...no pun intended. πŸ˜‰

Well, got my first DOA bottle of Army Painter fanatic paint that I bought a couple weeks ago.
Tried to spooge some into a palette and it felt chunky with no paint coming out.
Opened it up and after inspection it looks like the seal ring on the nozzle broke somehow and dried the paint...

Haven't been painting much since either discovered (a little late in the game) the video game Hell Let Loose.
It's been feeding my WW2 interest while playing and is a fun challenge.
Gonna get back into painting soon.. Just one more level in rifleman, first..

I'm with Sonic on this one, my go-to recently has been Band of Brothers (I'm rewatching the series for the...5th time?) which gets me in the mood to play Hell Let Loose.
I hope there's a Pacific theater version of the game soon

I think I need to do more painting.
I've recently been sucked into the game "Hell let loose" and flexing my WW2 leg muscles.
Because you have to run everywhere..to get shot by some dude you never see.
War is hell.

So I made danishes for the first time on Thursday.
Day of, they weren't bad.
This morning you could hurl one of these and commit murder.

Can't wait to phase those citadel out in preference for Army painter and Two Thin Coats!

Took advantage of some extra Christmas money I got for hobbies and sales at my local hobby store to stock up on #armypainter fanatics to add to my library as well as some inks that were being sold for 3 bucks each.
Time to play music loudly while I dump them into my brushrage app and organize!

I'm still moving forward with my home spun campaign, and I have to say that using chatgpt to help streamline my writing and expand ideas is actually surprising me (I historically can't stand AI)
Getting used to using it, I can certainly see it's value when figuring past creator's block.

Where the heck did you get that many modules for that kind of price, and how do I sign up?!

They just need to take out back to xitter and leave the toxicity there.
That's talk-shit central

There's a little known secret for keeping the octogenarians in the height of the party, God - they're so close to meeting you it's like having a direct party line to you, big guy πŸ˜‰
Joking aside, they need to get the F out & pass the torch to the younger generation that has actual skin in the game.

As this year comes to an end I'm hoping the next will be a little more positive. I'm looking forward to ending this work comp πŸ‚πŸ’© & getting back into working again.
I think I'm going to try and stream painting more & delving deeper into that side of things.
Happy (and safe) New Year everyone!!
