You were responding to Howrath, not mellowred. My apologies if I didn't get what you were speaking about quite right.

The same could be said for every production of Shakespeare, so I'm not sure it is a particularly powerful argument. Isn't that the best kind of property to give a new treatment to? People complain when you touch a beloved property. Nobody's childhood deeply depends on the original Toxic...

Mm, no. It is handing out a specific ability to take an hour (or longer, if you are using alternative rest rules) to grant temporary hit points to those with proficiency in blacksmithing (or other applicable) tools. If someone asked for that as a spell, what level would it be? With an entire...

Well, there's also... DIE A group of players are drawn into the fantasy world of their game... and the result is deep and lasting trauma! https://imagecomics.com/comics/series/die

I've seen several games do away with separate attack and damage rolls. Most of them use armor as a form of damage reduction on every hit, rather than as temporary hit points. From a simulation standpoint, I can see an argument for temporary hit points - basically, the wearer takes n damage...

But, you can help making it into a personal jab. You just chose not to. And that's on you. If folks are no longer interested in being kind and respectful, I recommend they leave the discussion.

Licensing work for various uses is pretty standard stuff. Published authors have agents who handle these things all the time, for example - there is nothing conceptually new here. The only new thing is the scale. But we are talking about the biggest tech companies on the planet - I'm pretty...

As an actual example: many years ago, back before the term "generative AI" was coined, I personally did potential physics doctoral thesis research on using the technology to simulate the data that comes out of particle accelerators, to help design and tune their detectors and data processing...

Building it ethically is easy. License the content if you don't own it. Pay your darned royalties, and the basic ethical consideration goes away.

I didn't say it was likely, just that would end the argument. Like, if you stand up in a room with several Spanish chefs in it, and say, "I understand Spanish cuisine. But I don't like paella, because of all the cheese in it," you're going to get chefs telling you there usually isn't chees in...

Oh, really? Looking at the above, it seems to me that the issue goes away either: 1) If folks claim understanding, they back it up by describing adequately, or 2) Stop claiming understanding, but giving inaccurate assertions.

Incorrect. It will also stop if/when people choose to stop.

Mod Note: It is unclear why you thought making less than complimentary personal comments was going to be a good thing to do. It is certainly off-topic for the thread, and likely to cause an argument. And if an argument breaks out, we'd look into it, and see you started it by making this...

It would be interesting to see how many hours of scripted media content per capita each country produces. We could imagine that on broad average, some fairly flat percentage of humans can be decent actors, so, to produce X number of hours of content, you need a population of size Y. If the...

Oh, there's tons of malapropisms out there. Imagine an advertisement for a restaurant: "Each bite is better than the next..."

Mod Note: "If you don't agree with me, you are lying" is a problematic, red-text-earning position to take. Your critique should stand alone, without having to cast aspersions on the honesty of those who don't agree with you. "People who believe it is a great system are lying, which is not to...

Intentionally so, as I didn't want to sound hyperbolic.

The original was a nice frame for conventional forces dealing with unconventional threats. Modern UNIT is itself kind of super-powered, such that it loses its ability to broaden out the kinds of stories they can tell.

Mod note: Folks, to be blunt, this reads like fat-shaming. Please stop.
