Leapfrogged? It never left. LLMs were made to make shit up.

I haven’t delved too deep into the shitshow that followed that game, and I know it’s convoluted as hell, but it seems like that’s referring to previous associates of the studio, not the studio itself. The page mentions Martin Luiga in association with it, for whatever that’s worth.

The difference is one is controlled by those that want to control those with the latter through guilt, shame, and fear.

Through the nipples.

“All of them? All of them. All of them is good.”

Mine’s the grim reaper hallway meme and half finished games.

You’re not alone on TLJ. I’m not gonna pretend it was perfect, but it’s far better then it gets credit for. Imo, it’s the best of the sequels.

We’re the same user. They’re just at the end of a good night out.

You are correct!

Har har har. Very funny ;p

Hmmm. I don’t think I’d count it myself, but I get it. At the very least, it surely gets credit for being so foundational for modern fantasy, which is a bit more folkorey imo.

The headline had me thinking it was some convoluted critique of his decisions, but no, she’s actually just pissy about her shoes and her uncle is nothing more than an aside.

Again, my point hasn’t got anything to do with artists making money.

A lie is not a fairy tale. Also, shoving politics into a discussion of story telling is disruptive and unhelpful.

Nope.

Unhelpful and off topic.

That’s ok. I think it more so matters what the tales become rather than what they start as.

To be clear, I’m not trying to argue against artists getting paid. I just think folk-tales transcend that, you know? I’ve added to my main post to explain myself a bit better.

That’s what I’m getting at. The old tales are obviously still available, but it feels like there’s certainly more recent things that could qualify and I can’t think of anything specifically. Maybe it’s just recency that makes them feel less “classical”. I dunno.

I suppose that mostly fits. Though it feels a bit…I dunno…corporate? What I’d consider classic tales were, I believe, more-so stuff like passed on folk tales rather than for-profit media. Maybe that’s just unavoidable these days.
