That claim get's more and more ridiculous every time it is repeated, lol.
Not just that Fulton and the Twins are and always have been AoP, so the claim he piggybacks is kind of a dumb take anyways, but also that Fulton has never done something you could call BS without calling out others that do the same marketing strategies and business models (e.g. Lotrék, KWP, ...).
But I get it, he blocked you on social media and you're still not over it. Give it more time and grab a steak - pairs perfectly with that salt, lel.
You want to reclaim your mind and get it out of the hands of the cultural engineers who want to turn you into a half-baked moron consuming all this trash that’s being manufactured out of the bones of a dying world.

Rough, no? Call someone dumb is kind of personal don't you think? You're part of the popular group so I'm sure you'll be fine.

Is there really that much of a difference between calling someone dumb or saying what they say is dumb? Trying to not play favourites is a nice gesture.

Yeah, I'd say there's a pretty big difference.

I would agree, Im not dumb (and wouldn't like to be called such) but Im certainly capable of saying dumb things and I wouldn't be that offended if someone thought so.

or can have as the internet says "thats a bad take"

It's opinion if it's a bad take but at least better than telling people what they say is dumb

Glad we are talking about semantics/netiquette instead of repetitive and questionable claims, made by folks towards brands/designers seemingly just out of spite.
Don't get me wrong, I'm all for that freedom of speech but don't expect me to leave them uncommented all of the time.
I'm happy to have lived in the days when we discussed things on the web that were actually said/written instead of how it was said or how someone interpreted it - good times. Glad that these days aren't over afk.

Saying you disagree is one thing and calling a guy out saying what he says is dumb and ridiculous is another

This is not about agreeing or disagreeing. If you really don't get that, then the thunderdome or my private messages are the fitting spot for it and not the thread of a mediocre deck.

The courts are very obviously AI, and poorly and lazily done at that. The back and tuck for the passion deck are kinda cool though.

Definitely easy to recognize the AI, though they don't disclose any of that, and I don't know if they ever have. If they want to use AI, that's their prerogative.
It's the blatant and repeated theft of images they have used with multiple past projects that has them on my NEVER list. Royal Warriors was launched three times after repeated infringement violations and yet plenty of backers didn't seem to care. This project will not be an exception as they are sure to fund and continue to be rewarded for terrible business practices. My undisguised loathing for this group will not hurt them in the least, but I still feel obligated to share my opinion on the matter from time to time. It's cathartic :)
