    When did the "C" drop from CRPGs and when did "TT"RPG spring up?

    That's convenient as that was not mentioned anywhere in the OP. Originally, computer RPGs were called CRPGs and TTRPGs were called RPGs. They just asked when that changed. Which makes your interjection of JRPG etc a bit minimizing of the topic, IMO.

    When did the "C" drop from CRPGs and when did "TT"RPG spring up?

    We were. The whole thing was about when the C dropped from CRPG. Which means you have to go back to the beginning. And at that point you said that JRPG were a whole different thing and not CRPGs. So I went back to the beginning.

    Now, but not then. Take a trip down memory lane: https://www.gamedeveloper.com/audio/1982-1987---the-birth-of-japanese-rpgs-re-told-in-15-games See how they intermixed and moved with the same ideas. I'd say in 1986 was when they started to break off and become their own thing with Dragon...

    Theater of the Mind and VTTs: Oh Brave New World...

    That's actually the way I play most of the time. I have major events in Foundry, but everything else is not in VTT- just discord and whiteboard (I use miro, but any would probably do).

    When did the "C" drop from CRPGs and when did "TT"RPG spring up?

    What is a quality of CRPG? I don't think there are any genre specifics to it that wouldn't be in others, are there? When they first came out, all of them were called CRPGs, I believe. I could be wrong, but I remember when that just meant it was an RPG on a computer, even when they had some of...

    When did the "C" drop from CRPGs and when did "TT"RPG spring up?

    A JRPG is still a computer RPG if played on a computer. the J is just a subset of a computer RPG, in my estimation.

    ENnies To Ban Generative AI From 2025

    Not sure why you quoted mine, as I'm not one of the all or nothing. I just said I disagree with someone using AI unethically. Ethics are a funny thing - I personally think they are on the person doing the action and only my own ethics are on me. So I won't use AI that I don't know the providence...

    ENnies To Ban Generative AI From 2025

    It can create the work for you. Every use of AI isn't for this. It's that all or nothing of if you use AI, you're using it unethically that I disagree with.

    ENnies To Ban Generative AI From 2025

    They are not differentiated in the manner that you say because those are two disciplines with AI. NLP and LLMs are still applications of Machine Learning and enabled by the use of certain Generative AI methods.

    ENnies To Ban Generative AI From 2025

    Yes, they can use AI. As I said, I use it to intelligently link together my corpus from understanding the context of the contents. That's not generating anything but linkages between them and answering questions based on my corpus when I ask for context and delve into it. That's definitely using...

    ENnies To Ban Generative AI From 2025

    Wish I could upvote this several times. I use it to give artists a better mock up of what I want them to create (something that I was doing, but it sucked, so there was a lot of wasted time), to edit images I already have the rights to (something I was doing manually, but it took more time), to...

    Trailer Superman | “Icon” TV Spot

    Why is it the more I see of these trailers, the less I'm excited for the movie? If the purpose of these is to hype it, they're failing with me at least.

    Spoilers Agatha All Along discussion

    A dirty secret about singing - it's a trained skill. Now there are some exceptional people with exceptional talent, but you can train most people to sing passably well. It's the performance that elevates things from functional to great. And if you're a good actor, you can perform well enough to...
