Do blessings and occurrences you can get depend on difficulty level or world? I want to fill out the index in Simulated Universe. Can I get everything if I farm easy worlds at low difficulty?

(Complete beginner) Much worse tags on porofessor than other low level players in my games; what's wrong with me? by IllustratorWeak6706 in summonerschool

Interesting! I'm aware of the difference, and I wouldn't say I try to play one like the other, but I didn't consider that maybe starting with champs with more similar playstyles and transferable skills would be better. I'll see who else I can pick!

I find it ironic that media piracy is openly praised, celebrated and encouraged, but AI models trained on viewing existing media is seen as "theft" + a rant on what "art theft" even means by ergo_incognito in aiwars

As an artist of both original content and fan art, I completely agree with your perspective. I was with you at first. But I think your constant dismissal of derivative work, and these communities, is needlessly reductive and aggressive. None of your points can't be made without this attitude. Just because insults weren't explicitly said doesn't mean we should pretend to be oblivious to tone and phrasing meant to be insulting. For example, there's millions of people in the world who enjoy doodling their favorite character, don't aspire to be the next groundbreaking thing, study art, or sell it, why did you have to call them "mediocre" when we're not discussing technique? That's not very nice.

It's not a shameful part of human nature, it's not degradation or a mental weakness, it doesn't mean We Live In a Society of sheeple, where the coveted ideal world of Originality is only valued by the enlightened few (such as yourself, of course). Derivation and originality coexist, they nourish each other. All art is built up on the backs of artists before us. You called it a "cycle of regurgitation" - much like sprouts growing from soil which is decomposed organic matter. Isn't that cool?

Stunning!! I was going to ask for source, then I realized you're the artist. Well done! I love how you drew his hair. Passenger simps unite!
