Is it just me, or is it hard to follow Manhua?

manganato.com

So I bumped into a new series while going down the rabbit hole with no description. Cover art and title was interesting so I read a few. Standard setup and back story. Might be interesting to see if anything unique stands out... Then it kept jumping forward. The story progressed way too fast. I realized it was a manhua. I don't know why but there's always so much happening so fast it's hard for me to digest it all that I end up dropping it. **What are your thoughts?** Other manhua I've dropped: * Versatile Mage * My Wife is a Demon Queen * Monster Pet Evolution

Cheap and safe streaming sticks

Apologies if this is the wrong instance for this. Is there a best option for HTPC streaming solutions besides throwing Linux on an old desktop? Plugging in a desktop for streaming doesn't work too well for wall mounted televisions. My options are mini PCs or a 3rd party streaming stick. Even a RasPi stick running [OSMC](https://osmc.tv/) should do the trick. These 3rd party sticks online are extremely tempting for power and features but I'm concerned about embedded malware. Best option would be to wipe it and load [OSMC](https://osmc.tv/)or raspbian to ensure its clean. Anyone have experience with this?

My DM gave us a pass and I feel disappointed

So I'm a long time fan and playing my first campaign. First big quest and we're in a fortress. Pretty spent after an encounter and some traps. We see a sleeping BBEG in the way of our finish. Cast pass without a trace to sneak past. Fighter in heavy rolls a nat 1 on his disadvantage. So it's 1 + 1 dex +10 pass without a trace = 12 BBEG passive perception is 10. We sneak past. WTH? I mean sure my PC is happy but I feel somehow disappointed in our DM giving us a pass. I've DMd before and would've definitely woken up the boss. I feel like DM gave us the pass cause it could've been a TPK. Thoughts? Edit: Thank you everyone for your thoughts. I was caught up in the homebrew rule of auto fail nat1s that is NOT in the PHB. Rules as written we earned that easy win by taking advantage of the bosses low perception and spending a spell slot on pass without a trace.
