This doesn't fit the prompt in a technical sense, but does so thematically:

The band originally known as Imagica changed their name due to overlap with another artist. For one week they went by Nothing and Nowhere (shared with their first album and a track that would appear on a later album) before settling on their current name, The Birthday Massacre. The Birthday Massacre was the original third track of the Nothing and Nowhere LP, but was renamed Happy Birthday during the band's final name change.

    Terminator 2 and Baldurs Gate 3.

    A three act story where you jump forward or back in time could be interesting.

    Though I'm not sure how much Terminators add to a D&D setting when there are already dopplegangers.

    Man, the Red-lipped Batfish is weird. It looks like someone made it in the Spore Creature Creator.

    The Tonkin Snub Nosed Monkey is cute. It's sad they're critically endangered.

    It's been years since I watched a nature documentary and it's nice learning about animals I was unaware of before today.

    I switched over to NewPipe a couple weeks back after consciously tolerating ads on the official mobile apps for years. This is what pushed me over the edge:

    I was watching a 30 minute video a friend had shared and a (skippable) 4 minute ad played probably a little before the 10 minute mark. It was a variant of an ad I had seen before, but I've been interested in the product, so I let the ad play all the way through. But now for the rest of the video, all the ads I was getting were several minutes long and all were unskippable. The interval of actual video content became shorter as well, so I was effectively watching more ads than the content I was trying to view. I decided to finish the video just to experience how ridiculous it was. Immediately installed NewPipe afterwards.

    I have a hard time thinking it wasn't a coincidence that the ads became unskippable partway through the video after watching one ad all the way through. Obviously, I can't say that for sure. But I sure as hell am not tolerating that ratio of ads to content. I feel guilty for not sending ad view pennies to the creators I enjoy, but this YouTube "experiment" made the platform unusable for me.

    They don't really make the STI at all anymore. Supposedly Japan will see a 4-door with the STI badge later this year (Sport#), but it sounds like it's really just a manual WRX.

    There's demand for sure, but Subaru really doesn't seem to care at this point ☹️

    The non-stop flood of bad things happening makes it very difficult to keep up with anything, even the topics that are most important to us. Which makes it all the easier for new local laws that strip away our rights to be slipped past the citizens who care enough to stop them.

    The information overload is the system working as intended for those who seek to exploit us.
