And many of these were bought after they had already pirated them which is one of the arguments given on the case still going on. Do you think Open AI and Google and Meta all bought copies to the works they used for training? (Contrast Adobe which has license to all material they used to train...

Which nobody has done n_n

Nobody, they'll just have to buy them and save the receipts in case they get sued. And this is going forward because all existing current infringement is already done.

Yes, basically providing a roadmap for future plaintiffs. It's almost as if this 'victory' -cause the case is still ongoing- will turn into ia Pyrrhic victory for AI.

Reading the actual court documents, this ruling isn't the great win the AI people wantsto think it is. The headline is this grandiose "LLM training is fair use!", but the actual ruling is way more nuanced and influenced by the American custom to disregard sweat-of-the-brow. Many of the books...

I thought it used d6s? I don't think any D&D variant can renounce the D20 and still be a D&D variant?

I was fearing someone had blocked me because I couldn't open any of their threads, then I noticed I couldn't even open them on a private tab. And well, I also noticed this. So I feel better now, but yeah it is still a bother not being able to open many threads.

I was isekai'd to a fantasy world and all I brought with me was a camera.

The spellbook might be a single element, but it is one with huge implications. It means spellcasting is a goal, something voluntary which needs constant work to keep going. It also makes magic something serious and for the learned. It means that education has to be accounted for in your...

You cannot properly merge wizard and sorcerer without losing one of them. Any merger is either erasing the sorcerer with extra steps, or a failure*. Unless you went truly generic like with the microlite20 mage but that is way more free-form than what D&D usually gets. * If at first level you...

At least with fighter it's fully justified. The class truly succeeds at portraying a generic "can be anything" warrior, or mostly at the beginning. Then we had the thief who started to erode at that identity early on. Magic user was always a lousy fit for the "any caster" theme; it has always...

Sadly they completely threw it away for 2024.

I'm replaying Shantae Half-genie Hero and Pirate's curse in tandem. After I finish one of them, I'll swap in Risky's Revenge. Then I'll have to buy Seven Sirens and that'll be it. I don't have a Switch for the original and Risky's Revolution isn't out for Steam yet.
