I hate sampling in terms of Gd as an idea. It shows a lot of misunderstanding of art in general (or I guess different views I see as misinformed) for it to somewhat more popularized now. Liking it to what is done in music is really strange I find, when it’s closer to photo bashing in art, and like you’d never use that for a finalized painting, just as a compositional guide. Such is how I think “sampling” in Gd has its place. Having assets from other levels in a final work even with permission I can’t really be supportive of in the slightest. I have made this argument plenty of times for friends, and I don’t really see anyone genuinely considering my position on things over a level review so I will leave it there. I guess if you want to hear the more nuanced argument contact me or something idk
