    Systems that actualy emulate Western movies?

    Outside of the Western games already cited? Given my preferences for HERO & other toolbox systems, that’s the path I’d take. Most of them have rules (some optional) for gritty, dangerous combat, as well as decent firearms lists. All you need is horses…and some of those have statted them out...

    Naked doesn’t CREATE the problem; it exacerbates it.

    AI/LLMs AI art bans are going to ruin small 3rd party creators

    Process almost always matters. As I mentioned above, art students DO learn by copying. They often pay for the process, but not always. They often work from pieces in the public domain, but not always. They often work from pieces that are still covered by copyright with permission, but not...

    Yes, most artists- regardless of medium- learn by copying the work of others. A lot of the old masters taught students to paint in their style. They were paid for this. A lot of artists have gone to art schools, where, again, they’re paying for the education. When you see art students in...

    I know of a few companies that do this. I didn’t know it originated with Toyota. +1!

    Smooth? Perhaps. But that’s probably down in part to good tailoring. Seeing some 8’-25’ tall dude in the buff might give someone nightmares. (Or ideas.)

    My favorite medical history factoid is that some of the surgical procedures for using skin grafts for cosmetic nose reconstruction surgery were invented in India about 2500 years ago, and are largely unchanged.

    I know about that handwavium. It’s amazing that Reed Richards’ discovery made its way to supers good and evil alike, but hasn’t been adopted for the general public. I’ll also note UM only exists in Marvel. AFAIK, none of the other publishers even give names to why their costumes don’t shred...

    My dad also has an MPH, so not only did I get a nice informal medical education, I got a lot of stuff on public health measures as well. One of his MAJOR mantras- after prevention is cheaper than cures- is that public health policies have saved more lives than medicine ever will. Pharma...

    A lot of the MDs who were pumping out COVID disinformation were not immunologists, virologists or epidemiologists.

    Sheet music is a play aid for a particular composition. If you think musicians working from sheet music are just processing information, I’d suggest you listen to two professional symphonic performance recordings. At the very least, you’ll notice they will not have the same running times. If...

    In the real world a pair of purple jeans would be obliterated instead of becoming purple cutoffs if the wearer gained 1500lbs of muscle mass while wearing them. And energy blasts that cut through reinforced concrete should make short work of most spandex or cotton/poly blends. 🤷🏾‍♂️

    Beyond double sided tapes, it’s also possible that extremely sheer “nude” fabric could actually be used.* * even though I know it wasn’t drawn that way

    My cable system used to have an OK but not great set of music audio channels. I took many online exams to the sounds delivered by their electronic music channel.
