    Disney sues Midjourney

    Presumably the fair use expansion would only apply to the creation of the ai. It would not be fair use to use that ai to then create a copyrighted work. (Subject to normal fair use constraints). Why? That seems like a major leap. What colloquially gets referred to as style cannot currently...

    On a more positive note. I do think this is a cool quote, even if I think it’s misapplied in this scenario.

    I really wish everyone would stop calling/implicating others as childish in this thread.

    I think it’s doing that as well. The issue is it’s doing that by associating not having that not caring attitude with childishness. Which is probably fine if you are giving a close friend that advice. But maybe not so much for randoms on the internet.

    No. It may not have been your intention but it’s saying you are childish if you care what people think/say about your hobbies.

    So now instead of just calling the game childish you want to call the people who dislike their game being disparaged children? I think the hole is getting deeper.

    I just find the term GM decides to not capture the nuances around how the gm decides and how the players influence those decisions. Also the gm decides plenty in narrative style style play as well

    When the initial jargon shows extreme bias (like a certain style of RPGing always being referred to by the names of Children's games, while others are not) academics tend to apply a different more neutral term for the same concept.

    What I find most objectionable is that mainstream RPGing tends to get associated with terms for simple Children's games in general.

    I assume that at this point anyone that has been in this thread a while is not seeing well over half the posts ;) Some combination of ignoring and ignored.

    Starting with our working definition I don't know what a cozy RPG is, but I'm not sold on the suggestion that a tea party cannot have rising conflict simply by virtue of it being a tea party. It obviously won't be the same kind of content rising conflict i'm accustomed to, but there's nothing...

    Umbran first said, 'it suggests that their experience without it[fail forward] has had many boring bits.' Is that assessment incorrect?

    I think we are back to repeat. Seems to me this tangent of is in agree to disagree territory.

    This was said. Then this in direct reply. Then there's also this. Just for reference.

    There’s a bit more to what you are saying I think. Nothing happens is boring AND nothing happens or nothing can happen is a possibility when you don’t use fail forward or similar, so use fail forward or similar instead.

    Oh I understood perfectly well what you were doing. I don’t appreciate it either.

    I’m sorry but I never disputed he had a boring game. Only that the only solution isn’t fail forward. Maybe be more gracious in your reading of me?

    Why do you infer that being able to be killed in one hit is not competent?

    I’d prefer none in the official game. Make an easy mod to add custom races. Done!
