    Coffin Run is worth a watch for D20 seasons. Jasmine Bhular is very good and having the smaller cast really lets them focus on the stuff that is funny. It is also maybe the best Zac Oyama has done, thought Crown of Candy was also pretty amazing

    plus the bad guys are collecting SOMETHING that i haven't been paying attention to, i assume at some point we'll have to get those back maybe?

    Yeah, they're collecting MacGuffins for some reason we don't know about yet. It's not impossible for this to end up with some theoretically good goal achieved through the worst means possible, since there's definitely other groups/entities that are potentially worse out there.

    The Fatui are gathering Gnoses on behalf of the Cryo Archon, and Gnoses originate from Celestia. Given what we know of the Fatui it's likely they intend to use the Gnoses against Celestia, which is going to be something considering we've seen the results of Celestia feeling a teensy bit threatened before in Dragonspine. Maybe Sumeru too, I haven't gotten to it in story yet but giant ancient machines rusting away with the civilization that made them gone without a trace would fit Celestia's MO of obliterating everything in line of sight.

    The only weak link in Crown of Candy so far is Ally Beardsley constantly undercutting serious moments. Other than that it’s brilliant.

    Ally gets more into it - I think part of the challenge is having comedians playing D&D, they need to reign in the instinct to comedy and be present in the moments.

    I find that money isn't a problem if I'm only doing ~40 T3 Battle Records per day on whoever I'm leveling. The base keeps up on that for me. If you try and go fast you'll definitely run out. That's one of the ways they get you to spend so you can refresh sanity and progress faster.

    If I get a 6* it's probably a couple weeks at least before they're E2 60 and working on an M3.

    ... see, this is part of the problem with limited time events dropping lore bombs, in this case, Hidden Strife.

    Pulling this from the Genshin Fandom page.
    The letters were presumably sent in the following order. Interacting with the letters from All's Well That Ends Well on Diluc's desk shows that the Traveler has rearranged them in chronological order; the order of their dialogue prompts is different than when initially interacted with in the quest.
    After Crepus' Death

    Diluc's 18th birthday ends with Crepus' death, Diluc's resignation from the Knights of Favonius, and Kaeya's admission that he was planted as an agent of Khaenri'ah, which leads to Diluc and Kaeya's fight. Kaeya's eye is injured in the process and the two split ways.
    Mysterious Box in a Secret Compartment: Kaeya writes a self-derisive note about the fight and his subsequent eye injury, saying that he'll pretend he was blinded in that eye.
    A Letter in Beautiful Handwriting (I): Shortly after the fight, Kaeya tells Diluc that Varka's inner circle has ordered an investigation into Eroch.
    Based on Varka's letter (A Letter With Rough Handwriting), he personally was away from Mondstadt at this time and only learned about the events that occurred after he received Jean's letter.
    Diluc decides to leave Mondstadt to pursue the truth behind the Delusion Crepus wore.
    A Letter in Beautiful Handwriting (II): Kaeya and Jean learn of Diluc's plans to leave Mondstadt. Jean wanted to write Diluc a letter to ask him to stay; Kaeya advised her against doing so. He presumes that Varka does not yet know about this, as he would have otherwise dragged Diluc over for a face-to-face talk. Kaeya tells Diluc to leave immediately at night to prevent more people from knowing and to make Diluc's departure less saddening.

    Diluc Leaves Mondstadt

    A Letter in Beautiful Handwriting (III): Kaeya informs Diluc that Varka has given Jean the responsibility of investigating Eroch and administering his punishment.
    A Letter With Rough Handwriting: After learning of Crepus' death and Eroch's misconduct from Jean, Varka writes to Diluc to offer his condolences and reassure him that Eroch would be punished. He informs Diluc that Jean was given authority to punish Eroch with "all necessary severity." Varka states that the Knights of Favonius shares Jean's sentiments of wanting Diluc to stay with the Knights of Favonius, and gives the letter to Diluc's falcon.
    Letter Addressed to Grand Master Varka: Diluc thanks Varka for his letter and says that he is traveling at the moment, with no plans of rejoining the Knights of Favonius "if nothing goes awry."
    A Tidily Written Letter: After Klee comments on Diluc's long absence, Alice investigates the matter and learns of Crepus' fate. Alice sends Diluc her condolences for Crepus' death and suggests to Diluc that he travel around Teyvat in order to cope with his grief.
    Letter Addressed to Ms. Alice: Diluc tells Alice that he plans on taking up her suggestion. He also says that Klee is welcome to stay in Dawn Winery.
    A Letter with Clear Handwriting: A staff member of Dawn Winery tells Diluc that Kaeya took leave from the Knights of Favonius and stayed at Dawn Winery for a few days.
    A Letter in Beautiful Handwriting (IV): Kaeya informs Diluc that he's noticed a group of businessmen returning to Mondstadt. Their employees frequent Angel's Share and can also be found around the dangerous parts of the wilds outside of the city. Kaeya deduces that the group of businessmen has something to do with Diluc. Kaeya also mentions that he only has one eye left.
    Letter Addressed to "K" (I): Diluc thanks Kaeya and tells him to stop mentioning his eyes in his letters since Diluc knows that Kaeya's right eye wasn't actually blinded.
    A Letter in Beautiful Handwriting (V): Kaeya replies, saying that he didn't intentionally want Diluc to think his right eye was blinded; Kaeya tells Diluc that his right eye was scarred, however. Kaeya also informs Diluc that Eroch was punished and dismissed.

    Diluc Returns to Mondstadt

    A Letter with Elegant Handwriting: Jean welcomes Diluc back to Mondstadt and informs him of Abyss Order strongholds appearing in Mondstadt alongside a "Darknight Hero". She tells Diluc to stay safe and that he can contact the Knights should he see anything suspicious.
    Letter Addressed to the Acting Grand Master: Diluc thanks Jean for her concern and commends her response to Eroch's wrongdoing. He tells her that she shouldn't worry about him and that Knights should redirect their concern to those who need it the most.
    A Letter in Beautiful Handwriting (VI): Kaeya also tells Diluc about the Darknight Hero, saying that he has fought against Treasure Hoarders and the Abyss Order in Mondstadt. Kaeya suggests that Diluc talk to the Darknight Hero to give him some advice so the latter wouldn't be caught by the Knights, as vigilantes are not allowed.
    A Letter in Beautiful Handwriting (VII): Kaeya informs Diluc that the Knights of Favonius are gathering information about the Darknight Hero after his actions have been noticed by the organization. The Cavalry Company was assigned to this task by Varka and that Kaeya would be visiting Diluc in three days. Kaeya tells Diluc that his lips are sealed and that three days should be enough for Diluc to prepare for the Cavalry Company's visit.
    A Letter in Beautiful Handwriting (VIII): Kaeya informs Diluc that the Darknight Hero's latest appearance during the Abyss Order's last attack was helpful for the Knights of Favonius and has convinced them not to give too much focus in trying to catch the Darknight Hero. Kaeya advises Diluc not to act alone.
    A Letter in Beautiful Handwriting (IX): The Abyss Order seems to have attacked, and Kaeya tells Diluc about the situation. Kaeya suggests that the Knights of Favonius and the Darknight Hero should team up.
    Letter Addressed to "K" (II): Diluc turns down Kaeya's offer, citing objective pros and cons of teaming up with the Knights. Diluc tells Kaeya to take better care of himself instead.

    Hidden Strife's Events

    Shortly before Phantom of the Past begins:

    Someone's Notes: Somebody (presumably Diluc's informant or collaborator) tells the Darknight Hero that the ley lines were acting up once more. They notify "essential individuals" per the operating procedures.
    The First Note: The same person praises the Darknight Hero's plans for how he dealt with the ley lines the previous time, but said that the plan had too many uncertainties.
    The Second Note: The same person tells the Darknight Hero to consult with Albedo in order to know more about the ley lines without the Knights of Favonius knowing about the situation.

    Between Phantom of the Past and All's Well That Ends Well, Diluc reaches out to Albedo regarding the ley lines.

    A Neatly Written Letter: Albedo tells Diluc of his findings after investigating with Diluc. Albedo also sent him a copy of a research paper he wrote concerning the ley lines a few years ago.
    Letter Addressed to Mr. Albedo: Diluc thanks Albedo for his explanation and research paper.

    Shortly before All's Well That Ends Well begins:

    A New Letter: Somebody (presumably the same author as Someone's Notes) informs Diluc that the Knights of Favonius have strengthened their guards throughout Mondstadt. They also tell Diluc that should he be able to confirm that other locations are free of monsters, they can conclude that the ley line disorder is unrelated to the Abyss Order.

    the BP is defo not something you need to full-clear.. you can ignore the weeklies that are resource/time intensive.. but the extra mora is nice.

    if you haven't built up the teapot.. that may be more worth working on than the BP. building up the Realm Currency is nice passive income once it's going.

    I’m at level 40 in the BP and haven’t actually thought about it at all other trying to make sure I spend my resin.

    Finished the main Inazuma Archon quest last night and it’s pointing me towards the Charm now. Also hit AR 51 doing the world ascension quest 4, so hopefully things aren’t too hard for me now. Hoping the bosses will drop more T3+ gems for character ascension.

    My biggest issue with the BP and its tasks is that it's like a nagging mother constantly bothering the player - do this, do that. It's taking space in my head. Even if I know I can just ignore it it annoys me on some level. YMMV.

    Though usually when it starts to really annoy me it's just a sign that I should take a break from the whole game. If I don't feel like taking 10 minutes to fight three bosses, why did I log on at all?

    interestingly the firs few english language articles about e-bike classes and regulation in the EU and Germany are all wrong in one or several ways even on a first look.

    So google translate instead. The only version actually being equivalent to a normal biicylce in Germany is this:
    Pedelecs up to 25 km/h
    These pedelecs (bicycles with electric pedal assistance) are legally treated as bicycles under the following conditions:

    Motor with a maximum rated continuous power of 250 watts.

    With increasing speed, the pedal assistance is progressively reduced.

    Progressive means that the assistance decreases as the speed increases.

    From a speed of 25 km/h or if the driver stops pedaling beforehand, the support from the auxiliary motor is also interrupted.

    Starting or pushing assistance up to 6 km/h is permitted.

    Everything else needs at least insurance and helmet use. The only other version also allowed on bike paths is the throttle and up to 25km/h version and only outside of city limits or within city limits on specifically marked bike paths.
    Pedal assisted up to 45km/h ist at least allowed to be ridden without a driver'S licence. same speed with throttle only with license.

    it is absolutely absurd that this far into the season there are teams that have FIVE games in hand on other teams. Teams play, generally, 3 or 4 games in a week which means that the wings and sabres have to play essentially an extra week and a half worth of games in the same time period. Games in hand are not super great if it means they're all part of back to backs or 3 games in 4 night situations.

    And it wasn’t that long ago they were nearly healthy. It’s like as soon as one guy comes back another two go down. All that on top of an absolutely stupid stretch of a schedule too. 3 straight sets of back to backs with the second night having a rested opponent.

    I believe this is probably a result of the NHL re-adding the bbye week to the schedule this season. And even though everyone had their bye in the same period due to the all star game, it probably still threw things off by a bit
