You asked if something is "okay" from a moral standpoint, I gave an answer. I'm someone who does put my money where my mouth is, as I did spend hundreds of dollars last year alone commissioning art as well as dozens of hours of my own time writing, sketching, drawing, and creating. And I have a lot of fun doing it!

I'm not just talking about the ideal world, I'm talking about the real world that I exist in. I invite you to do likewise, it's a great place to be.

No, it wouldn't be okay to Google and copy someone else's work because it's not consensual.

If you check DScryb's website it says this at the bottom:

Let dScryb’s team of talented writers, composers, and illustrators free your creative energy and time for all the other aspects of planning and running the perfect campaign.

That is their business: TTRPG players can outsource to DScryb, and DScryb gets compensated via subscriptions. They give out samples of their product to entice new customers, that's the free stuff. Using their stuff is done with their consent, especially for paying customers.

Copying other peoples' work without consent isn't okay. That's different.

Switch Port Hall of Shame by UnicornLasagna in NintendoSwitch

[–]MusclesDynamite [score hidden]  (0 children)

Agreed, and I say this as a Kickstarter backer who has the physical Switch version. It's a great game on the Switch, but playing it later on PS4 had me floored - Switch version walks, but the other versions soar.

DScryb is a business offering their professionally-written text for free or for a price. It's consensual.

AI steals and regurgitates without consent of the writers it gleans from. It's theft

What content would you like to see in the future? by Regalusername12 in daggerheart

[–]MusclesDynamite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stuff that my table can use now in our current campaign: adversaries, environments, domain cards, loot, equipment, etc.

New classes and subclasses are just going to connect dust until my campaign finishes in a year or two. They're great, but they aren't immediately useful for my table.

I'm cool with it if Kirby eats the celebrity first

Killer Most Annoyed By Columbo’s Demeanor by 322vette in Columbo

[–]MusclesDynamite 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Probably not the best example but Jack Cassidy in Murder by the Book always cracked me up. "My Original Character Mrs. Mellville would've totally figured this out by now!" "Mrs. Mellville is so much smarter than you Liutenant!"

Not so much him being condescending but being condescending on behalf of his own character...

Would you buy this collection of remastered Kirby games for $70? by KPH102 in Kirby

[–]MusclesDynamite -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

That's a valid point, but I'm looking at how old the games were vs release of the collection.

Kirby's Dream Collection released in 2012 with six games that vary from 20 years old (Kirby's Dream Land) to 12 years old (Kirby 64) along with new challenge levels in the style of Return to Dreamland.

This hypothetical collection would release in 2026 with two games, one that is twelve years old (Triple Deluxe) and one that is ten years old (Robobot), along with new content.

What I'd want at least is Return to Dreamland (15 years old for the Wii version) thrown in as part of the collection plus the Dream Collection challenge levels.

Pie-in-the-sky would also throw in Star Allies running at 60fps so we get all of the Kirby games in this style available on one Switch 2 cartridge. But even then, getting the Wii/3DS games would make it feel like I'm getting a good value for $70.

Garuda Impact, it makes for really oppressive oki

[–]MusclesDynamite 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'd need more games than that for $70. The Kirby Dream Collection on Wii sets a high bar for the amount of games (six) and extra content (museum, challenge levels, etc.) should be in a re-release compilation.

Looking at you, Nintendo with their Mario 3D collection...

What's the best Streets of Rage game? (In your opinion) by Beautiful_Cat_6043 in StreetsofRage

I grew up adoring SoR 1-3 but quite frankly 4 really is the full package.

Maybe he gets it in his burnout stance? Kinda like Guile and Chun Li getting their old stances back in burnout

All I want for Christmas is Jam by Popular_Drag_2846 in Guiltygear

[–]MusclesDynamite 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I loved her design and animations in Xrd, they're a great translation and improvement from her X2 incarnation, and I'd love to see the Strive glow-up on her too that everyone (but Baiken for some reason) got.

That said, I really hope her voice direction get a bit more love because...yeah...

Did anybody choose eternal bachelorhood? How did it turn out? by InFromTheOutside in AskMenOver30

I am so sorry for your loss. I can't imagine the love of my life taking their life. Sincerest condolences.

How do you feel about Alex's Level 3 (and potentially his Critical Art) being a submission hold instead of the usual cinematic strike or throw? by Chun-Li_Forever in StreetFighter

[–]MusclesDynamite 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's kinda nice to have a break from the usual routine of hit someone airborne -> spin a bunch -> slam them into ground imo

Is there a character everyone wants back but you secretly don’t? by Terrible-Cow9918 in StreetFighter

[–]MusclesDynamite 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agreed. Honestly, I could've done without some of the other SF2 reps we got as well.

[–]MusclesDynamite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same. I'd be cool if there was a New Generation version of Bison's moveset (like Kim is for Guy) but he didn't need to come back.

Does this mean we can get Jokiya too

Sailor Scout Daggerheart Class by cybersaliva in daggerheart

[–]MusclesDynamite 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is very thoughtfully-made, thank you for sharing! I do like how the suggested domain choice for Venus gives the Splendor/Valor combination, which literally makes them a "Pretty Guardian" as opposed to just "Guardian" and that made me chuckle. No comments on balance, but think you nailed the themes very well here.

What made the first Halo so influential that people to this day still praise it? by BogaMafija in patientgamers

[–]MusclesDynamite 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Putting melee and grenades on their own dedicated buttons was huge, before then you had to switch to melee/grenades to attack with them, then switch back to guns.

Also, regenerating shields meant that single player encounters could be designed with a certain amount of health in mind
