From the sounds of it, and keep in mind we know very little right now:

1) They're removing racial ability score penalties entirely. No more, 'welp, orcs are just genetically stupid!'
2) You will now (when the book comes out) be able to have your culture/background influence your ability scores, instead of your race. Like, 'your character was a gladiator, +1 strong', or 'your character studied at the wizard school, +1 think'.

Did they bring back racial penalties in 5th Edition? In 4th it was just 'Hobbits are naturally friendly and agile have some +2s'.

Where D&D has always failed is that the game is fundamentally about hitting guys with stuff until they fall down. By any measurement you'd want to use, that's what the game books end up being primarily focused around. Having non 'hitting guys with stuff' stats and skills is nice but they never make it actually equitable or workable.

Any character can walk up to a door and pretty much every single DM in the world will let them roll a dice and compare it to some number on their sheet and see if they can just smack it open by force because the number says their character is strong enough to do that.

However, in almost every single D&D game that I've ever experienced or seen played, a person who has a number on their sheet saying that their character is smart enough to do something doesn't get to walk up to a puzzle and roll a dice and smart it open by cunning. Likewise the poor sap who put his high number into being friendly; good luck tossing a dice and convincing that Storm Giant to sit down and talk out the whole kidnapped Princess thing (without a lot of dumb hoop jumping 'what do you say? let's play act it out' 'you didn't make Tim play act out putting his shoulder through the door' 'no but that's because it just says on his sheet that he's strong').

Just rolling to solve the puzzle might be less fun, though. I mean, in many cases stuff like "search for traps" or "disable trap" or "unlock door" or "cast spells" or "copy spell down to your book" or, indeed, depending on context, "how persuasive you can be with this noble" are things you can actually roll for or just do automatically with the right skill on your character sheet, but sometimes there are situations where "roll to obviate the problem" would just be anti-climactic. Feats of strength aren't usually on that list of things you'd rather do yourself, unless you're into really intense LARPing.

Which is fine and good and a lot of games handle it exactly that way. D&D, unfortunately, has you write down on your character sheet (on every single character sheet) a 'How Good This Character Is At Solving Puzzles' number that you don't get to use to solve puzzles in the same way that the 'Break Down Doors' number breaks down doors.

(But this is super duper off topic and should probably head over to the TG forum assuming it's still around. Sorry, just poked a button in my head.)

My wife and I had a discussion about a year ago where we came to this same conclusion. We're not having kids, both for ethical reasons and because neither of us have ever even wanted children the tiniest bit and other than the possibility of family we're both basically just tiny cogs in a hideous giant inhuman machine. We do our best but neither of us are going to lose sleep over palm oil because... like... why? One of the chefs we watch on youtube had a whole video up about the palm oil problem a little while ago and it was informative but the actual impact either of us could have regarding any of the concerns is so minimal that it's probably healthier for us mentally to just shrug our shoulders and say 'yup, one more thing that sucks right now in this world'. As long as Earth and Society last for being generous another 80 years or so that's probably where we're going to stand on a lot things; do what we can but acknowledge that it won't amount to anything and will likely not change anything.

Going to Mars was a genuine luxury "oh that'd be a cool thing" when I was loving 5 years old in the 1990s and the internet/collapse of the USSR had the culture on a prolonged optimism boner. That poo poo stopped being realistic the instant 9/11 happened, and anyone who thinks it's a good idea in the intervening quarter century is a moron, a con man, or both.

The other thing is that we've gotten so much better at gathering data through machines that there isn't really a reason to actually send some people up to walk around on Mars with their big dumb human feet. We can gather the same, if not better, information by sending a much cheaper one way little robot buddy out there and have it do all the actually difficult work.

EDIT: It should be noted that the Paragon/Renegade approach is supposed to be somewhat similar to Jade Empire's; Shepard is always going to be a hero, you're basically just choosing if you want Shepard to be a by-the-books diplomatic hero or a loose-cannon cop who doesn't play by the rules but gets results damnit. Unfortunately, most of the major choices sucked at that and did boil down to good or evil pretty quickly, and a lot of the Paragon choices were just materially better to take. The reporter might stand out because it's one of the few times (at least, that they were tracking and reporting) where Renegade actually is getting close to the stated mission statement of Renegade.

One of the phenomenal things about Mass Effect is how they tried to sell the Paragon/Renegade thing as 'Your Choices Will Matter' when, of course, they did not matter at all. I think it was HBomberguy's video that points out that choosing to allow the Council to die in the climax to Mass Effect 1 results in... a new council of the exact same alien makeup but wearing different clothes taking power in Mass Effect 3 but my absolute favorite Paragon/Renegade cheat was again from ME1 with the last Rachni Queen.

Everything that you're told as a player about the Rachni and that Shepard learns from talking to people through the game make it seem like the Rachni are literally the worst; the British Empire if they were also the xenomorphs from Aliens. So Shepard finds out that Evil (In This Game) Cerberus has somehow found, saved and spawned a Rachni hive and trapped the very very last Rachni Queen on a planet to use as a weapon against the non-human races. Shepard clears out the base and has the queen at her mercy and the queen says that all she wants is to live peacefully on a farm upstate somewhere with her babies. You can choose to let the Rachni go as the Paragon option or exterminate them as the Renegade.

When the game came out, basically everyone that I knew who was playing was shocked that my Shepard very easily chose to drown the queen in acid because she had no idea if the queen was lying and because having just fought through an entire hive of the things she knew firsthand how awful they could be as enemies. One of the things I heard repeatedly was 'well you're going to miss out on whatever cool scenes and events I'm going to get when the Rachni come back in the later games!'

So in Mass Effect 3 the Rachni do come back -- only it doesn't matter at all which choice the player made in Mass Effect 1; if you chose to destroy them then the evil space robots brought the Rachni back with dark science, cloning, secrets on the Reapers know. If you chose to spare the queen then they all just got corrupted by the evil space robots and either way you get to fight through another hive of Rachni.

I've always thought that Asimov is like the prime example of the way that the culture we exist in shapes the kind of person that we are; Asimov was clearly a pretty smart guy and generally prided himself on being perceptive and aware of the world but he was a serial groper who made being a serial groper a big part of his public persona and character. If he'd been born in 1960 instead of 1920 would he have prided himself on serially harassing and abusing women? I kind of think not but I might just be trying to give an author whose work I respect an 'out'. What he did for years and years was gross and awful and not in any way acceptable and it hurts me a little to know that someone whose writings I enjoyed was a lovely lovely person.

I assume there's a thinly veiled mind control fetish plot at some point then.

So when Magma was originally introduced she was from a hidden colony of ancient toga wearing Julius Caesar re-enacting Romans from deep in the Amazon rain forest that was ruled by

this person. Who, in addition to the obvious superhuman fashion sense also has mind control powers.

This is important to note because later on, it is revealed that there was never such a place as the magic ancient roman colony in the Amazon and that evil fetish lady was just kidnapping people from England, brainwashing them to think that they were ancient romans and hanging out with them in a marble city in the Amazon for... reasons.

Only later on, after Naked Fire Lady was critically injured in one of the various comic events she is healed by another X-Men character who has healing powers and the healing reveals that that set of brainwashing was actually the fake one and she really is from a Roman city in modern day Brazil that also still exists and randomly turns up in occasional X-Men stories to this very day.

So, yes, there might be some mind control in there.

Most fantasy media, and especially stuff that came out more than like twenty years ago, is pretty racist tbh. D&D in particular is steeped in it because it was created by a guy who was pretty proud of his lovely racist ideas, and the ones he cribbed off of the racist fantasy he liked to read. And a lot of that poo poo hasn't really gone away either, people just tend to only really bring it up when they're mad it's being thrown in the trash. Like, people don't talk all that much about how pretty much every one of the horde races in Warcraft are just various non-white cultural stereotypes painted in neon colours, and even before blizzard was super well known for being a trash fire of a company any attempt to discuss it would usually just be met by people shrugging their shoulders and not caring. Until any of the jokes or content was touched up or toned down in any way. Then people would be real mad about it.

One of the things that you don't ever really think about as a kid playing D&D or other fantasy games is that there's almost always this real fundamental baked in thing where entire races of creatures in the game are violent raiders and slavers and murderers and that's just how it is and you're never assumed to ask any questions about it.

'Goblin raiders are attacking settlements near the Whitepeak Mountains!' If the settlements were being attacked by (non-Dark) Elves or Dwarves or something the adventure would be 'Why is this happening? Let's figure out what's going on.' but because the people doing the attacking are Goblins the solution is 'go out to the mountains, find the goblin cave lair and murder everything inside'. In D&D, especially older editions, the kind of hilarious thing was that there were literally entire races of bad guy monsters you could battle all the way up the level ladder; you start out clearing Kobold warrens but move on to Goblin slums, Hobgoblin villages, Orc warbands, Bugbear hordes and so on and so on.

I was one of the kids who played D&D and it was just the way things were and you were never asked to think about it and, at least back in the 90s and early 2000s, even the published game worlds and settings just rolled with it. It wasn't until I was like a grown up adult, sadly, that my brain finally went 'Wait if they have like blacksmiths and leatherworkers and animal trainers and wheelwrights and everything then they're just like... people. All the orcs and goblins and giants and stuff are just different kinds of people and my characters have spent the last decade plus going to their homes kicking in the doors and murdering everybody'.

I remember as a kid I played some early MMO, and I was grinding levels wandering around a goblin village with tents just killing the residents. It wasn't even a quest, just good leveling.
I looted one and it had like, a shell necklace or something, and I suddenly realized that these goblins were making art. Just... they had art, culture, language, homes. I was just stomping around their village murdering them as soon as they stepped outside. I didn't have a revelatory moment of virtual conscience and swear the game off forever or anything, but it did permanently change how I think about race in fantasy settings.

Yeah, I haven't sworn off gaming forever or anything like that. I still play D&D and a lot of PC and some console games; the assumptions of the game settings are just something that I am more aware of now and spend some time thinking about while I play.

One of my all-time favorite games is Fallout: New Vegas and it is interesting because nearly everyone and everything that tries to murder the PC as they wander through the area have actual reasons that they might want to do that. There are still micro-factions like the Jackals and Vipers who don't actually want anything and are just coded as 'detect character - run towards and shoot; no dialogue' but the majority of enemies in the game only become your enemy after you've made decisions that would make them behave that way.

Neither Ozy nor Rorschach are heroes and at the end of the day they both represent different aspects of the same broken impulse. Most of the side characters are just straight up better people than than any of the masked crime fighters, and the only side characters that live through Ozy's plan are the Nazi editor and his intern.

The thing that almost nobody ever notices (which drives me crazy) is that, at the end of the book, right before Squidmageddon, you get a sequence of scenes where Malcolm and Steve are both on the street and one by one they decide that, even though it's not in their own personal interest, they need to do something to help Aline and break up her fight with Joey. It's literally a direct refutation of both Ozymandias' and Rorschach's perception of the world and "the people" and then they all get blown up by the big plan.

What happened to him? I kinda tuned out when he became boring, did he do something terrible?

I don't think anything significant 'happened' to him. My experience with him is basically the same as yours; he ran out of actual food from movies and tv shows that anybody knows and started spinning off into general (not great) cooking videos and new shows for his channel (he was one of the dozens of people who tried, unsuccessfully, to find something in front of camera for Sohla El-Waylly to do) and I eventually unsubscribed from his channel.

I don't keep up on Food YouTube gossip so I don't actually know if he's been canceled for anything. While I was still watching he bought a very expensive place in New York and got "married" by Joel McHale.

what's the issue with her? i only see her on bon apetit's stuff and she seems okay?

There's no issue with her. She's a really good chef who isn't exactly suited to being a YouTube Personality; she doesn't have the kind of outgoing, catchphrase laden, wild-n-wacky character that makes for 'content' so attempts to, like, give her a magic spinning wheel that has ingredients on it to see what craaaaazy dish she has to make have not succeeded.
