Palworld response to Nintendo
https://www.pocketpair.jp/news/news16

[dry copper]

Based on this response, I suspect they have a counterclaim

The harder they can hit back for malicious prosecution, the less likely Nintendo continues this conduct.

[shadow tartan]

Counterclaim
Where is Pokémon Stadium 3 bro

[winter yew]

Ok palworld just switch to live service like you said you were going to then

Creative idea is not poksmon with guns Digimon exists already lol

[coarse swift]

Palworld never said they were going to live service. There were talks about the potential model before its release but they stood by just having it buy to play and no live service, with the reasoning that it'd be what the gamers want.

Apparently the Nintendo suing Palworld is a patent lawsuit not a copyright lawsuit?

[obtuse reef]

yes

[abstract turret]

So I assume it's probably the throwing a ball & catching a creature mechanic etc

[obtuse reef]

I don't think the reason has been officially released

but they do have a patent pending for a fucking mount system

[tranquil glen]

Travel mount or wall mount or or the last mount?

Huh

[abstract turret]

The wool texture one reminds me of these...

[obtuse reef]

like, riding an animal

[abstract turret]

ffs that's crazy

[tranquil glen]

So travel mount?

[abstract turret]

That covers 100's of games...

Or 1000's

[tranquil glen]

Would say 10s of thousands

[abstract turret]

Palworld
https://youtu.be/KvO_JiOiLL4?si=f-lyRG1SkY1z6pKX

Goes into detail more

about the patent

[tranquil glen]

Funny that they patent it outside home and after its release

[obtuse reef]

supposedly it's a way to fuck over indie devs

[abstract turret]

And indie games imo are some of the best games out there

[obtuse reef]

it costs too much for them to fight the lawsuit over the patent, despite the fact that the patent is usually bullshit

[dry copper]

The patent isn't complete.

The patent is pending

They filed a lawsuit based on a patent that they do not have yet

It's going to be dismissed

It has no basis

[abstract turret]

Hope so

[dry copper]

Check the patent

I posted it earlier

Status: Pending

both Japanese and American

Neither of the patents are accepted

All Nintendo did was fast track the patent to Status: declined

For posterity
https://patents.google.com/patent/US20230381654A1/en

[tranquil glen]

Heh

[dry copper]

and once it is realized this patent is not accepted yet, the lawsuit will be dismissed, or and this is what I am hoping: Pocket already have a counterclaim for malicious prosecution.

In which case, filing a lawsuit with a false premise (a patent you don't have) is frivilous

[obtuse reef]

Has it actually been confirmed that it's the mount patent?

[tranquil glen]

Nintendo might as well claim patent on horse mounting in general, or stupid young fools mounting pets because they smaller than the pet

[dry copper]

I think someone deleted the post to the link I used to read about the patent

or maybe its on another channel one sec

Found it

I think the tweet is deleted

I'm posting a snapshot of the post incase the embed stops working

https://www.nintendo.co.jp/corporate/release/en/2024/240919.html

I wonder if japan has public records for lawsuits

It might be Nintendo is trying to get to the discovery phase of the lawsuit so they can then file a copyright claim

Discovery would give them a lot of access to Pocketpair's assets

Here are all Nintendo patents published at Justia
https://patents.justia.com/assignee/nintendo-co-ltd

There are a lot. Some of them are worded in such a way, it's disgusting that they were ever granted

I wonder...

lol

Look. I patented the wheel!

I'm Nintendo!

[silver sparrow]

did you also invent the internet

[dry copper]

Oop let me check

There. I invented the internet. THANKS NINTENDO!

/sarcasm

[shadow tartan]

I invented ur mom

[dry copper]

I wonder what they'll steal next.

I could forgive the ingenuity of a lot of japanese companies taking other peoples ideas, because they'd improve upon them and send them back into the world so improved that it differentiated them from the competition, but this shit has got to stop.

[tame cairn]

The Penguin (Show) is out

[coarse swift]

hey, theres a first time for everything

[winter yew]

I bought smt 5v today its alot better than persona

I can't belive it's made by same guys

[dry copper]

I hope this lawsuit forces a review of every nintendo patent on the merit of their applications to identify whether those patents were created to stem competition or Nintendo actually invented those processes. I suspect a lot of their patents are not their inventions.

That they exist for the sole reason of stemming competition.

It is not okay for a company to claim to have invented something legally that they ought to know they did not just because the original inventor did not patent it.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K_Pqa-I0Z5U

[winter yew]

I think you can patent doing somthing a specific way even if you didn't invent the thing

Which wouldn't be claiming you invented the thing just that way of doing it

https://www.gamesradar.com/games/survival/i-think-this-will-end-bad-for-pocketpair-analyst-says-nintendos-feared-legal-team-wouldnt-sue-palworld-unless-it-was-confident-of-victory/

[restive tusk]

dude we still going on about Nintendo

need a new news cycle fast

[dry copper]

Worst case scenario for pocketpair is a fine and a modification of specific game features to be more outside of Nintendo's bs systems claims. Worst case scenario for nintendo is they lose control over a patent that would've cost significantly more than a fine for patent infringement.

Furthermore, Japan is the only country where you can sue someone for defamation because the things they said hurt your honor, even if they were true.

[winter yew]

That's not the worst case for palworld
The discovery stage could devastate palworld

[dry copper]

If the discovery phase hurts Palworld, they deserve it.

I have no sympathy if discovery reveals palworld stole IP

[winter yew]

We can all visually see how similar so many designs are
I have semi high expectations for discovery if it gets there

[inland oasis]

As long as it doesn’t set a precedent for gaming companies to start doing this rampantly. Which I doubt, but, can happen.

[inland oasis]

lol

[winter yew]

I understand that argument but it don't matter, it's still copying pokemon

[restive tusk]

doesn't hurt us at all if the result is forcing new games to have new design instead of hitchhiking on successeful concepts and designs

Pokemon is already a COPY

[restive tusk]

isnt this the same thing they were saying earlier it was debunked?

[winter yew]

I'm aware I'm a smt fan
& Dragon quest 3 is my favorite one

But it would still easily be argued stealing from Pokémon

[inland oasis]

The AI part

Was debunked

And this suit isn’t about copyright anyways for similarities

It’s a much worse precedent

[dry copper]

Yeah but they could also file a copyright based on discovery

[winter yew]

Yeah I was just typing this could all change if it gets to discovery

[inland oasis]

I don’t think Nintendo cares if it wins or the reputation. It’s as simple as bully them into court to make em go broke

IMO

[dry copper]

I don't think the characters were created using AI input though

Fair use applies for derivative works if they were created by a person

[inland oasis]

Can’t keep developing if your always in court blowing money

[winter yew]

Well,
We already know nintendo sont care about their reputation

They witch hunt modders, pirates and pirating sites
But they know they still print money

Which is why I could care less about who wins, but, the outcomes Moreso instead

performance i mean

There's a reason they received the TGA award

they put in the work needed

I wish that game "Nobody Wants To Die" was longer.

[winter yew]

I don't support leaving two consoles broken not that it's not on switch lol

[restive tusk]

at some point we gotta move on

same as SSD requirement... this should be a standard today for heavy games

[coarse swift]

i have a friend that refuses to embrace SSD

he loves his HDDs

I will rib him for it forever

[winter yew]

Hard drive should work fine if one chooses that
But it's a unpopular argument

[restive tusk]

it's only unpopular because it gets to a point someone will want to run a modern graphics intensive game on a Pentium 4.
IDK where do you draw the line

the technology has advanced for our benefit

[dry copper]

Does he realize you don't have to clean SSD and that the OS loads super fast?

[coarse swift]

I think he's hung up on something about HDD's storing more and lasting longer

[restive tusk]

yea of course they will last longer.
Thats why you put all your media files in there and leave the SSD for games

[dry copper]

Oh. So he's cheap

[restive tusk]

like wut

[dry copper]

😛

Can get a 4TB HDD for cheap

Plus if it's just for storing shit you don't use often, it will last even longer

I end up getting a new PC before I ever need to get a new SSD

Steams gotta figure out a way to stop ppl from buying games if they don't have the parts tbh
If you can sell it make it work

Buyers discretion

[dry copper]

Why does steam have to do that?

[restive tusk]

That's like saying GameStop also had to make sure you had the system to run a game before buying it

[dry copper]

Steam has a very good refund policy

[inland oasis]

Not steams fault someone doesn’t know there own specs 😂

[dry copper]

Don't have the parts, refund it

[restive tusk]

Or like sayining if i go to auto zone they wont sell me a part until i prove that part fits in my car

[winter yew]

You wouldn't be on steam without owning pc.... your second example is slightly better but still a reach

[dry copper]

"You can't buy these women products until you prove you're a woman"

Sir that furry steering wheel cover is, for PT cruisers ONLY

Might be pretty difficult to even implement some form of control.
I use my steam account in 3 different PCs for examp

Besides Steam will just refund the game for you no questuions asked within 2 hours

but i really don't think any of that is the concern of steam's scope

I seen those. I think there was 3? Can’t remember anything bout em except that one guy with white hair in the train and funky glasses

[dry copper]

Did you watch it in english and interpret the english as spanish and try to understand what they were talking about, like the video Nate posted earlier?

[restive tusk]

this was it

[restive tusk]

😂
no i actually legit watched it dubbed in 3 languages

they made a couple live actions based on it too

[inland oasis]

Ohh wait you meant the anime. That’s one on Netflix I’ve seen the real live action version of

[orchid fox]

We talking the original or nocturne as netflix made seemingly 2 separate ones

[inland oasis]

Uhhhmmmm, I think the original? I didn’t even know there were multiple 💀

[orchid fox]

There is "castlevania" original no extra title 3 seasons then there is "castlevania nocturne", 2 seasons unironically both by netflix afaik but different anime studios afaik @inland oasis

Aint even following the story of same belmont either so

Lol

[tame cairn]

the first one is great but i haven't seen the second

i actually forgot

nocturne is richter belmont though

he's been in a few games

[orchid fox]

Yes but the og is not that belmont. Think its victor as far as i remember

Still a belmont in both

[tame cairn]

the og one is trevor belmont

im pretty sure richter was a thing before trevor tho

in the games anyways

[orchid fox]

Fyi

Ive not played any of the games

And likely will not either

[tame cairn]

oh

😔

[orchid fox]

I just know the names

[tame cairn]

https://youtu.be/mxUNn-4dL6s?si=aVke1Tkf3MVXb6bK

from the og show

[orchid fox]

I dont like nintendo nor whoever owns the ip forgot their name company wise if i gotta be honest

[tame cairn]

Konami

[orchid fox]

Given how much ive seen jim rip em a new one for pretty much a decade ye i dont see em fondly

[tame cairn]

understandable tho yea

[inland oasis]

BELMONT that’s the name I remember. Wichever one had him as the main character

[tame cairn]

all of them

[inland oasis]

Omg I kept thinking it was beaumont

Well…shit lol

[tame cairn]

lol

[inland oasis]

I’m 90% sure it was just castlevania

[orchid fox]

Im not even a super sterling fan but i watched his (her? Now) heavy critisicm on konami making me not fond of em

[tame cairn]

no yea the first one

for sure

https://tenor.com/view/castlevania-soma-gif-22562413

[restive tusk]

Ouch Once Human is launching on Mobile too

[tame cairn]

thats this guy haha

[orchid fox]

Just on a pure choice/buisness sense

[inland oasis]

Belmont a badass

Reminds me of yami from black clover lmao

[orchid fox]

No their bloodline certainly is tagged belmont on all media and not whatever u perceived it as lol

[inland oasis]

Yea I’m not saying I’m right. I’m saying what I mistakenly kept thinking it was. Something between beaumont, and monteclaire I thought. But BELMONT. once I heard that

I knew

I remember some other main character too, pretty sure he was a vamp? Long white hair?

[shadow tartan]

Why ouch

[tame cairn]

Alucard

[orchid fox]

Dracula son

[inland oasis]

Yeaaa Alucard

[orchid fox]

Forgot the twinks name

[tame cairn]

crying

[orchid fox]

Hes very pretty char tbh

[inland oasis]

Damn I kept thinking Alastair 😂

[tame cairn]

He's awesome

[orchid fox]

Both from
What i see from game art and actual media

[tame cairn]

The sword Milady in Elden Ring reminds me of him

the way it's used

[inland oasis]

I might have to give them a rewatch again

[orchid fox]

U mean the sword wizard just yeeting his sword wacking u from ranged or is my brain completely in wrong spot

[tame cairn]

the show is just pretty but yes

https://tenor.com/view/alucard-castlevania-cry-sad-gif-13864665

[tame cairn]

no its dlc things specifically

[orchid fox]

Ah

I aint started dlc

[tame cairn]

oh

[orchid fox]

Reach blood lord nd rot giant

Walled on both

So soonTM

Radahn is a prick to me for the moment for well over a month

Denied me the kill only time i had at 1%

[tame cairn]

Radahn is very annoying

[orchid fox]

Moon lord fine

The storm dudes no issue

Then radhan comes with caelid

Giving me the biggest spike ive experienced in years

And i usually dont do souls

[inland oasis]

I’m glad as a kid I didn’t grow up with ONLY a dark souls game to play. Would’ve changed my life history. I cannot git gud in that game. It would’ve drove me to hate gaming 😂 butterfly effect over a game

You could give me god mode in it and I’d still find a way to stupidly kill myself in it

[orchid fox]

I wish that wasnt the case but i aint good at these games, it took me 140h to 100% wukong and friend is retraining himself from ripping into me for it oroutright felt extreme pity on my week long struggles on boss the time it took me beating erlang and yim for a day-1weel he had finished entire first ng+ run by the time i finished just those 2 bosses alone

With barely any sleep during the attemps of both for a week combined

So

[tame cairn]

this was my first one but i became a bit obsessed

[orchid fox]

Bit fuck it

[inland oasis]

I can never read the word obsessed without hearing goddamn Mariah Carey

[orchid fox]

I completed ng+2 and 100% wukong

He can rip me a new one if he wants i dont give a fuck i beat a game i geniounly dont enjoy usually

[tame cairn]

i wanna try wukong

[inland oasis]

“Why you so obsessed with souls? Wooaahh ohhh!” 🎵

[tame cairn]

im really not that good at souls games besides elden ring

like i've been playing bloodborne a bit on the side, its been fun but oh my its so hard..

[inland oasis]

When I was a kid I didn’t get grounded my parents made me play bloodborne 😂

[orchid fox]

I outright wouldnt blame u for pulling cheatengine for literally a single achieve or 2 given the way its designed achieve wise
Fights fine, not too bad
Exploration fine
Map design? Very conveluded and doesnt clearly show where u can go
But this is probaly only game in near decade i royally say FUCK THE ACHIEVE CHOICES

[inland oasis]

I’ve never been bounded by the chains of achievements. I create my own 😂

[tame cairn]

damn lol

[orchid fox]

102 bosses all hidden and secret bosses in every chapter needs to be slain for 100%
About 20-30h if u go straight path to ending bosses even less so if u know exact path to everything i speedran ng+1 and ng+2 trueendingin like 15h each not bothering with any fodder
The achieve is fine for most part is fine and simple but 2 in particular pisses me and a friend off and we both pretty much condone cheatengine for specifically those 2 because: about 6-8 keyitems both keyitems and village supplies is a random chance to drop on every flower for seeds for village, 3 types for equipment of 4 IDs. Issue there is no pity ns every föower spawn has an individual 30min irl time. U dont force the crops respawn with respawn drinket i andcfriemd picked near 200 of several planrs before we were awarded meanwhile my ffxiv partner gets all of em in like 25-50 and i wamna fucking tear my hair off. I condone cheatengine for both cuz all rmg drops for those as ots for 2 achieves. Reddit hit stack cap before it was given
Trueending needed for last secret unlocks need every chapter secret area and boss killed bar chapter 6, u have to beat that before proper boss in 3 runs total (ie ng+2) then start ng+3 for final secret for an unlock that isnt even worth for then ng+ ur on

Mind u on ng+2 with like 1000hp and 900 armor and 200 attack

A singular attack from a boss

75% goes byebye

In a frame

The highest game give proper outside the hidden scaling set is like. 600armor?

So use that on ng+2-3 ur getting oneshot

And have 100 less damage

I wasted fucking 50h on flowers alone prob

Oh ye that ng+3 unlock need proper ending set and a charge tier 4 heavy (tome gated drain usually on 4th) to be allowed to use a subpar stance for

Hardlocked 60s

/rantover

Review 6-7/10 very overrated but solid package wait for a sale but still try it eventually

Friend comment: too easy bosses
Personally beg to differ

I both loved and fucking dreaded the 140h i spent as im not the audience for this shit

/done

[orchid fox]

Sidecomment with all flaws and gripes i have with the game it definetly isnt worth paying 60 even less so 70 with several design decitions they have especially if ur familar with souls fundamentals u will see it fast and take issue witv it. And design choices jumpimg between every generation console iteration possible in 2024. Geniounly wait for a sale dont pay 60 nor 70

I have a raging souls addict as my ffxiv partner so we have bickered back and fourth enough to know the souls issues, and i finished ng+2. Their first run isnt even over and they started weeks before me

Ok im done im goin to bed barely slept

Sorry all for the 10 paragraphs

Tag me if u reply kindly

[shadow tartan]

So you were cheating the whole time and trying to tell others how to play the game 😬

Well damn

This does not please the Emperor

[austere lance]

If you beat Elden Ring you'd be fine at DS3

[austere lance]

Big Radahn on his tiny horse shooting arrows the size of cars, lol?
I recommend summoning the 37 NPCs that are in his arena and jumping his ass

[shadow tartan]

I'm sure they'll find a way

[balmy plaza]

Looks like Dawn of war 4 might be coming after all

Dawn of war 1 and 2 just got anniversary editions. Space marine 1 got one right before the sequel was announced

[abstract turret]

This looks interesting 🤔 I think it's using voxels?

Found a longer clip
https://youtu.be/t1JBqdIs3n8?si=Tx93OlLVQAQzhi2I

[orchid fox]

no i didnt do any of that nor did i cheat any stats

in chaper 6 u get a armor that scales to relics

i fully awakened all 6 all 3 nodes each

resulting in 900 armor or so

once per playthrough u get 1 armorset or a werapon

the weapon scales by defense

said armor added with weapon is an extra 100 attack

no crit

so

i didnt cheat anything just my friend and i after talking condone doin it for plant drops and exclusively those

[orchid fox]

yes i am walled with radhan

even with npcs

AND IM level 70 or some shit

lol

[orchid fox]

mind u this is the result of 3 entire runs ie ng+2 awakening all relics fully

but still scales since initial run

i have it archived somewhere

the highest basearmor game gives u that isnt outright hidden in last chapter is like

600?

700 or so

the fact the spam promoted wiki doesnt even have it listed amuses me if i gotta be honest

lol

just to prove a point ill just reinstall game again just for taking proper snapshots of the shit im talking lol

[orchid fox]

the common armorset scales with these

weapon scale by armor

from any source

i yeet both i loose like

100+ damage and idfk how much armor

[orchid fox]

mate if u want to call me a cheater when i say i am condoning it for exclusively 2 minor things nothing else care to explain why i wasted 140hours of my life on a game i hated 30-40 of em exclusively picking plants

hell wasting a week on 2 bosses barely sleeping to get em done

[shadow tartan]

Once it's compromised there is zero trust for anything someone says.
You're talking to people that don't use external or nefarious methods.

[mellow dune]

ladies and gentlemen

ITS HERE

only another

5hrs till actual game releases

iirc

[shadow tartan]

Helldivers 2 OST got released today too

[mellow dune]

ok but thats helldivers

we love FROSTPUNK

[orchid fox]

im literally explaining why the stats are what they are i aint a cheater my friends just spoke of their friend actiona and i agree on it doesnt mean i actually cheat for agreeing to their point xD

[mellow dune]

in this mf

11bit studios do not miss with their tracks

[shadow tartan]

Composers are good

[mellow dune]

HD2 do got some good tracks will admit

definetly have a soft spot for uh

[orchid fox]

literally agreeing to an opinion doesnt make me commit that opinion lol

[mellow dune]

WH40K Darktide

their tracks are perfect blend of Classical church organs and like..Synth

[shadow tartan]

Yeah I know Darktide

Fatshark are cool

[orchid fox]

timewise the achieves is pretty damn far from each other lol

remained on 3 for like

idfk how long

[mellow dune]

I did once make a WT sound mod for Darktide

changed in game music to some of the tracks

(all nightsider)

im half tempted to update it and bring it back when the Unlocked and Loaded update drops

since new map = new tracks (probably)

[orchid fox]

im just saying fuck it and redownloading monkiey to get the point across ur riducling is not warranted for me to agreeing to an opinion which doesnt mean i cheat. simple cause and actual effect brother think

[mellow dune]

oh yea to any xbox gamepass people

upcoming roadmap of new releases

personally im hyped for FP2 and STALKER 2

[orchid fox]

last word agrement on opinions doesnt mandate action if u feel the need to mock me literally showing screencaps and footage of what im talking about have fun being in shadowrealm

u clearly cant reason

[mellow dune]

are we still going on about this damn?

[orchid fox]

i just woke up what am i supposed to say

topic over anyway

im out

[orchid fox]

xbox gamepass is that thing i want to use but not many titles warrant it imo

maybe blops 6 idfk

[mellow dune]

im waiting for

SM2

to come to gamepass

[orchid fox]

is that promised? i cant be assed to keep up with xbox news tbh

[mellow dune]

its very likely it is since Microsoft has a hella good exclusivity deal with GW

[orchid fox]

or barely any console news for that matter

[orchid fox]

gw as guild wars or is my brain goin in completely fucking wrong direction here

[mellow dune]

Games Workshop

IP owners of Warhammer

[orchid fox]

derp

sorry still waking up

lol

[mellow dune]

all good

[mellow dune]

blops 6 is unironically looking promising to me as a zombies player

i hope it doesnt crash and burn

🙏😭

[orchid fox]

i heard last 3 titles zombies been ridiculed to no end

so i hope they dont fuck it up a 4th time

[mellow dune]

Cold war was..decent

Vanguard and MW3Z

yea

[orchid fox]

the fucking undead gods existing now and shit like "what?" we went from blops 3 to that?

oooookay?

[mellow dune]

i mean

this is an entirely new story

since the original story ended with BO4

but it is pretty wild

[orchid fox]

i would get gamepass to at least try blops 6 before i decide to swipe on steam buuuuut thats another 100gb ill have to dedicate

prob twice

[orchid fox]

i wasnt really around post blops 3 story wise. hell blops 3 in general kinda refused to run on old machine

[mellow dune]

THE TORMENT

thats the pre order advanced start but

still 4hrs

before i can play

😭

[orchid fox]

as someone that struggled very much on wukong for a game my most of friendslist considered easy and spamming me about it uuuuuuuuh i know er is chill but i have not an iota of context how bad souls 1-3 is if ive been essentially hardwalled by the rotten giant for 1-2 months lol

i own ds3

never like

booted it once

no dlc dou

afaik

yeah honestly

cold war wasn't that bad but compred to the old ones is definitely worse

not as bad as vanguard and MW though

anytime zombies is outside of black ops its usually bad

God of War Ragnarök is getting review bombed on PC

Twitter · Sep 19, 2024, 5:18 PM

[orchid fox]

Why?

[austere lance]

Requires a PSN account, so people in a bunch of countries can't play it

Just like Helldivers

[mellow dune]

holy shit its the same stunt they pulled with helldivers!!!

how predictable

[tame cairn]

weird

[shadow tartan]

Are they salty because it's not as hard as the first one?
Or because sexy Sigrun isn't in it to fight?

Oh

Sucks to be them, wah wah

[tame cairn]

yea it does

[austere lance]

Every pc port Sony has dropped since Helldivers has had the requirement, it's ridiculous

[mellow dune]

its here!!! The game ive been saving up ages for

[orchid fox]

I knew that sibce the day steam db page went up and tweeted about the technology being there same with tsushima and noone fucking listened.

[tame cairn]

i would hate to pay for a game i can't play

[shadow tartan]

Living where we live has its benefits eh

[obtuse reef]

It’s almost like gigantic corporate entities are horrible at learning their lesson

[orchid fox]

Taushima has the tech as well its just an eventuality devs admitted so themselves on media

[shadow tartan]

Murr murr murr wah wah wah

[tame cairn]

lmao

Platinumed all that shit

Shut it im not complaining

YES YES YES YES!!!!

[shadow tartan]

I need to get back into Darktide too, still not finished the Vermintide 2 DLC

@tame cairn I didn't even start Rise of the Ronin

PS5 collection is starting to become a Steam library

[mellow dune]

dont worry, the update drops Sept 26th

you got this

[austere lance]

I only know one Hound, lol

[tame cairn]

I've started a bit of it but I'm elden ring obsessed rn

[tame cairn]

the best hound

we'll ignore the embed fail earlier

[shadow tartan]

CLEGANE

[shadow tartan]

Yeah I noticed, I need to finish Shadow of the Erdtree but I just couldn't be fucked

Think I played too much Elden Ring at release

All that PvP too

People got soooo salty

[tame cairn]

I basically haven't played since release, it's pretty fun still and I just finished the DLC recently

[shadow tartan]

As soon as this Warbond is done though I can get back to Rising Tide DLC

[tame cairn]

the DLC adds some nice things for future playthroughs

[austere lance]

They just nerfed the final boss of Erdtree, LMAO

[tame cairn]

which is what i'm doing rn

[shadow tartan]

I saw it bruv, you kinda inspired me to get some shit out of the way and get back on it

[tame cairn]

yeah I noticed, the day after I beat him too

[shadow tartan]

Nooooo

[tame cairn]

haha nice

[shadow tartan]

Glad I finished AC6 before nerfs

[tame cairn]

I wanna get that eventually, but rn I'm in NG+ using a greatsword/light greatsword with the deflecting hardtear (dlc items)
It's fun playing like that

[shadow tartan]

@austere lance we should stream SM2

[austere lance]

Lol

[shadow tartan]

Yeah when it comes on sale, totally worth it

[shadow tartan]

I'm serious man

[tame cairn]

SM2 I'm gonna get next

looks fun

[shadow tartan]

Would be jokes

Yeah it's fun

[austere lance]

It do be fun

[balmy plaza]

It's great

[shadow tartan]

It's fun co-op

[inland oasis]

it even fun......solo

[austere lance]

My friend just got it and is like two hours into the campaign, I gotta run him through that and get him started on Operations

[inland oasis]

i do wish the ops were more proc gen'd or something. ill admit its extremely repetitive to me

[austere lance]

They change a bit depending on the difficulty

[inland oasis]

well thats not what i mean tho lol

its like destiny strikes.

[austere lance]

More bosses showing up on harder difficulties makes the heretic missions a bitch, they always spawn right after we used all our ammo and stims and have low health 💀

That fucking ||Helbrute|| in the "kill the communications relay" missions always spawns in the worst fucking spots imaginable

[shadow tartan]

Nah bruv

[inland oasis]

yea THAT part... the stims lmao. brothers that hog all the stims should be heretics

[austere lance]

I just want an Apothecary class so I can be my favorite medics

[inland oasis]

give u apothocary, give me berserker

theres a version of my space marine somewhere out there inna dreadnought i like to think xD

[austere lance]

Berserker? Like what, the damn werewolves the Space Wolves totally don't have? 😆

[inland oasis]

like angrons

[austere lance]

Oh god, there's a reason all the Marines with the damn Nails are Chaos mfers now

[inland oasis]

xD

[austere lance]

That shit evil

[austere lance]

Just give us big chain axes and a new class who only uses two-handed melee weapons with Titus's special ability, lol

[tame cairn]

😂

[austere lance]

Ez berserker

[inland oasis]

thats basically what i mean ll

game fun

[austere lance]

I require the Apothecary

[inland oasis]

yea it do seem theyve completely forgot a couple classes

still wishing sniper got more than a fucking knife :/

[austere lance]

It's just weird not having a medic class in a game like this, especially with how stingy they are with stims and how nerfed stims are on high difficulties

[shadow tartan]

It's just mindless smashing fun

[inland oasis]

yea idk how you forget medic in a teambased game

id probably play that class most tho tbh

[austere lance]

Knife is crap til you get the shoulder rush perk, then you're a fuckin monster 😆

[inland oasis]

oooo dont got that quite yet

[austere lance]

Get a knife with Fencing on it and go for the Shoulder Rush perk, you'll be a parry god and doing beautiful "roll into the crowd and shoulder check em like Batman" moves in no time 🤣

That shit fun af, it's a forward-facing AOE attack that triggers if you attack right after a dodge

[inland oasis]

lmao i already went the wrong direction and went for the higher dps knife

[shadow tartan]

Hammer

[inland oasis]

not that i cant just swap

[shadow tartan]

Hammer is the way

Hammer is life

[inland oasis]

till they add chainaxe

[austere lance]

Once you've leveled knife perks and have a good Fencing knife unlocked it's gonna be your main weapon, not the rifle 😆

[shadow tartan]

Possibly, I just like blunt force trauma

[inland oasis]

oh my knife already is lol

[shadow tartan]

@austere lance you down for SM2 next week?

Stream it

Let's go

S0ul n Friends (and Nate)

[austere lance]

The rifle is for screechy bastards, softening up or killing bug warriors/bug snipers, and bosses. Everything else gets the knife

[inland oasis]

or the bolter

yea i only snipe main bosses rly

[austere lance]

My mic is shit quality but sure, lol. Y'all can just hear me swearing at bugs with my goblin voice 🤣

[shadow tartan]

The sweet song of S0ul

I'll be back at mine next week so my mic will be better

[austere lance]

Tactical boi+Sniper is ez win on bosses. Especially if you're a bastard like me and pack a Melta Bomb before final bosses so you can go invisible and drop it on their toes 😆

[inland oasis]

YES

invis is for either running or planting xD

[austere lance]

I give that fucking Hive Tyrant the funny boom gift every time, lol

[shadow tartan]

I just go human shield and try to tank with hammer
And fail

[austere lance]

You level Sniper enough you'll get a second wind perk that negates you taking a lethal hit and automatically turns you invisible so you can gtfo and recover

There's also one that reloads your current gun when you activate cloak

[inland oasis]

think i got that. im like lvl 15-16 with sniper

iirc

[austere lance]

Ironically the Sniper is more support than anything else, lol. There's perks for fast revive and 5 seconds of cloaking for you and the person you revive 😆

[austere lance]

Bulwark is the true human shield, bless it

That's my third class I'm gonna level

[shadow tartan]

Yeah Ceryn was good Bulwark when we played, need to try that

I usually would play something like that but.....hammer

[austere lance]

Big shield, big sword, and the armor restore banner

[shadow tartan]

New to finish the Warbond and get the stuff from store in HD2 asap

Then I can start getting mastery on shit

There's so much stuff to level up, people saying the game is short but I looked at all the stuff and thought, has everyone finished this?

[coarse swift]

Was I though

Didn't feel like I helped much

And not sure about effectively being locked to melee either

[shadow tartan]

Yes

[inland oasis]

i was mad when i saw how nuetered the jumpack was

which i get why

[coarse swift]

It's not neutered if you just play campaign

[inland oasis]

thats what i mean by it being nuetered in the first place. its not like campaigns xD

then again id rather not see everyone in MP being atom bombs

[shadow tartan]

You just have to level it up for co-op right?

[inland oasis]

im sure theres perks that make it like campaigns

but from the get go it aint

idk tho im lvl 2 with it xD

[austere lance]

Simply play Bulwark
-Go in with nothing but a sword, shield, and pistol
-Be the wall

[barren sparrow]

I fucking hate video games because this is what it does! It appeals to the male fantasy!

[austere lance]

Be the Emperor's shield, brother

[shadow tartan]

That's the only part I don't like, hence why I keep joking about
pleasing the Emperor

Otherwise it's fun playing with these nerds

@austere lance when you called me purple bitch....🤣

[austere lance]

When did I do that

[shadow tartan]

When you had to revive me

[inland oasis]

shoulda just commited to becoming a dreadnought ya pleb

[austere lance]

Oh yeah 🤣

[shadow tartan]

The only commitment I have to is the cloth

Touching cloth

[shadow temple]

What did they spend the money on

Oh prob the cgi cutscenes that were supposed to come out every week

[mental rose]

Don't forget the animated episodes.

One way to preserve plants from pests, I think would be to set up a laser array and motion sensor over plants that can fire at bugs from any angle

Detect motion, shoot bug, bug moves, move laser, bug leaves the plant, laser stops

[inland oasis]

Wind blows plant, plant moves, laser burn plant

Plant sad

[dry copper]

The lasers don't burn

The laser I'm using seems to be irritating the bug because it can't see

[inland oasis]

Thought bugs kinda loved light tho

Like lamp to moth

[dry copper]

I don't recall ever seeing garden bugs near my lamps

Only bugs I see there are flies and spiders

moths don't bother with my garden

Do we know what patents Nintendo claims Pocketpair infringed?

[upper glade]

Not yet.

[upper glade]

A rental cosmetic? I guess we're not supposed to be used to owning those either.

[dry copper]

What a dumb promotion

Create false scarcity to drum up sales

Though the demo is probably free

[shadow tartan]

God you're all so fucking whiny

If you don't like it don't take part

It's for people that want it

Jesus Christ

[dry copper]

Jesus Christ wants it.

I'd like to see more involved gaming engagements with discord. It's a start.

[shadow tartan]

It's just some shit that people like that they may not be aware of

I can't even claim it

It's for others

[dry copper]

Would be sick if Discord could get in with valve and become a built in feature in the overlay for chat in games.

[shadow tartan]

Yeah then you drizzle Gabe all over yourselves eh

[dry copper]

Drizzle gabe on my eggs and bacon

[shadow tartan]

@idle saffron @silver sparrow why don't you two grumpy ol' bastards act like this, is this my generation?

Ungrateful entitled wankers 🤣

[tranquil glen]

patent pending ones iirc

[dry copper]

I think that would be too easy

[silver sparrow]

Read this as “parents”

[silver sparrow]

What did I do now

[shadow tartan]

Nothing you're just not waiting for news on Palworld as if it's going to change or impact your life.
These people are sad.

[tranquil glen]

wow yk its more the gen alpha and latter half of zeta that uses language like that

[silver sparrow]

Fuck pookyman

[shadow tartan]

I know that I'm not an ungrateful and entitled prick, just a regular prick
No idea about generational stereotypes

Another reason to think people are sad

[tranquil glen]

yk what aint booming anymore, the boomers

[shadow tartan]

No they're almost dead

They're old and dying

[shadow tartan]

Yeah fuck it, some weeb shit my brother likes way too much

[unborn trellis]

youre stinky

[shadow tartan]

Get plucked muthaplucka

[tranquil glen]

sometimes i hate game's auto pathin

[restive tusk]

why don't you just use discord overlay?
what advantage would it be to integrate it with steam's overlay? just confusion

[dry copper]

In an ideal world? Less processing overhead.

Windows gives me enough bloatware

Couple that with unoptimized code...any means of squeezing functions together, I'd hope would aim toward some measure of regulating processing overhead.

Also it helps spread out valve's influence a bit, such that their influence could be used to prop up another service.

[shadow temple]

so apparently Nintendo is suing for patent infringement on something they patented AFTER pal world came out. that patent is... aiming

[restive tusk]

i mean fair. But in all honestly there's very little processing from having both overlays on. If you're gonna even feel a difference it means you were already bottlenecking to run that game

Like i said, we really need another news cycle in gaming

[dry copper]

What patents? Be specific, because I see no source saying that.

[shadow temple]

why so defensive

[dry copper]

I saw one source claiming it from a twitter post and the source was neither nintendo nor pocketpair, who are the only parties that would be aware of the specifics

[shadow temple]

https://www.ign.com/articles/nintendo-vs-palworld-killer-patent-may-be-about-the-mechanic-of-catching-pokmon

[tranquil glen]

and the us patent department

[dry copper]

Note the word: May

[shadow temple]

chill

[dry copper]

That's legalese for "Everything we're saying here is prob bs"

People only use may to avoid legal consequences for telling lies.

[shadow temple]

read the article first before blindly defending Nintendo

[dry copper]

Uh. I'm not defending anyone.

I'm shitting on piss poor journalism

[shadow temple]

you didn't even read it

[tranquil glen]

they are kinda right tho MAY is used alot in "we have this opinion onoutcome but it perhaps isnt true*

[dry copper]

From the article I didn't read

Quote from Pocketpair

[shadow temple]

just ignore all the other stuff

you are a nintendrone

[dry copper]

Damn right I'm going to ignore a puff piece about conjecture jerking itself off on fantasy law

[tranquil glen]

just ignore all the other sources yea alright mate thats definitly how one consumes objective reality

when in fact to prove it not objective but subjective

[dry copper]

I hope Nintendo loses and that the patent office is forced to reconsider all of their patents based on whether they are the original authors or are abusing patents to block innovation.

They have hundreds of ridiculously vague patents

[tranquil glen]

if they do lose, it would also affect disney's hundreds of patents

[upper glade]

I'm terrified to sign up for a Disney service anymore. The TOS is killer.

[dry copper]

lorl

[tranquil glen]

whats in the TOS that is concerning?

[upper glade]

Hang on, you're gonna love this one XD

https://www.axios.com/2024/08/21/disney-plus-court-case-arbitration

[dry copper]

Nintendo tried to block a guy suing them when his wife died under their care (I forget deets), and they argued because he had Disney+ once, he couldn't sue and tried to force it into arbitration

[upper glade]

That, but Disney, yeah.

[dry copper]

Let's just say....Disney didn't get far with that bs before outrage ensued

[upper glade]

I was actually hoping it would go to court!

That's a question that should probably be answered sooner rather than later.

[tranquil glen]

aside from that anything else concerning?

[upper glade]

Well, no. It was just a really fun legal theory.

And an opportunity for a pun. I can't ever resist those.

[dry copper]

Here are a list of all Nintendo patents on Google, per the patent search engine. All 24,592 of them.
https://patents.google.com/?assignee=NINTENDO+CO.%2C+LTD.&num=100

[tranquil glen]

holy sht

[upper glade]

I wonder how many pertain to unique ways to make characters appear to be blinking their eyelids.

[tranquil glen]

makes sense tho cause theres atleast hundred per character i feel like

[dry copper]

They are often vague enough to be used as placeholders for future lawsuits

[tranquil glen]

erm ok..

[upper glade]

Yep, that sounds about right.

[tranquil glen]

what video game system, in the parks??

[dry copper]

That's why I mocked them by writing a patent on the wheel yesterday and thanking Nintendo

[upper glade]

Most of this is related to interface mechanics.

That top one is basically wireless downloading.

That's why America's the king of overengineering. We're constantly trying to create bullshit patents like this.

On the plus side, it gets you things like Flextape.

[dry copper]

Which probably already existed

Just not marketed enough

[upper glade]

Probably, but probably also had really shitty marketing, yeah/

https://tenor.com/view/crypto-easy-fix-fixed-job-done-just-a-small-leak-gif-2608197380915810492

Now that's good marketing.

[dry copper]

I remember my mum being so pissed off when I was little, learning about pizza pockets. She used to work in a pizza restaurant and had been making that shit for years.

[upper glade]

XD

They're calzones. XD

[tranquil glen]

https://tenor.com/view/hot-pocket-hot-pockets-pizza-roll-pizza-rolls-pizza-hot-pocket-gif-13985228

[dry copper]

right

Calzones invented in the 1700s, pizza pockets invented in the ...what, 80s?

[tranquil glen]

not to me they arent

60s

[dry copper]

That looks like a mcdonalds pie....with pizza in it

[tranquil glen]

https://tenor.com/view/cookie-monster-om-nom-omnomnom-sesame-gif-10644609

[coarse swift]

pizza flavored pop
pizza soda

even better when heated up, just like real pizza

[dry copper]

Speaking of drinking calories, Rob McElhenney, to get fat in Always Sunny in Philadelphia said he used to buy a 4L tub of ice cream, let it melt and then drink the entire tub

He said the first 20 lbs were easy to pack on but after that it was a grueling struggle to pack on weight because his body kept fighting it off.
