Personally I find Q fine. It's a useful filter. If the language is too hard for someone to pick up, the person would struggle with the complexities of correctly designing or performing analytics on a high frequency distributed custom time series db anyway.

r/lfg is a good resource for finding a game

Critical Role is an amazing game streamed by a group of close friends who happen to be top voice actors. It's one of the best possible demonstrations of what D+D can be (I recommend ep 38 as a good kick off point). The Critical Role fandom is also a good place to find a game.

The most useful application I saw published was its use for protein folding simulations. Not sure how far they ended up going with this.

One exciting paper showed path finding for a theoretical robot with 1000 degrees of freedom in its movement.

I simulated mycelial growth using a modified RRT for my Masters. The algorithm has some very powerful properties. It is probabilistically complete over any number of dimensions. It is biased to explore unexplored regions first. It allieviates the "curse of dimensionality" by not needing to map out the configuration space or collision zones explicitly. And it makes shapes that echo mycelium, neurons, and galaxies.
