TIL there is a theory that Columbus' Navigator, William Harris AKA Guillermo Herries, an Irishman from Galway, had actually sailed to the Americas before 1492.

TL;DW - There are carvings, stories, genetic evidence, linguistic evidence, and historical accounts that collectively support the idea that contact by the Irish (and maybe other Europeans) occurred 1000 years before Columbus and this dude in Galway knew about it from trying and then might have been in cahoots with Columbus to go there, but Columbus took all the credit as an "accidental" discovery.

I like to watch

I've put like 120 hours into my first playthrough of BG3 and I'm just making it out of Act 1. Meanwhile there's already people making mods for like 60 new races. Someone beat the game in 5 minutes by killing a character and stuffing her in a box. (WTF?)
