I also appreciated BW not excluding Pokémon while doing that, like SwSh did...

[worn bone]

You wrote the insult first

[full mountain]

[full mountain]

Nah uncultured swine is a statement, not an insult

[stone harbor]

but the thing with monster catching genre, everyone always trys to copy pokemons formula, while they might come up with their own story, their own areas, their own monsters, they might even make the encounters different or the combat different, maybe the typings are different using made up elements.

palworld at least innovated on it with a survival aspect made it open world and instead of gate keeping things and being like "no you have to unlock this area to go there"

you can do whatever you want whenever you want, it might not work out for you, you might die, but thats part of the fun and i had a lot of fun finding ways to climb to areas on this game without needing flying.

palworlds just a breath of fresh air mashing two genres together that were honestly feeling a bit stale by themselves

[keen forum]

I simply followed simple physics. Every action has a reaction

[full mountain]

Reaction YouTuber?

[keen forum]

Hm?

[full mountain]

Idk I'm being dumb and purposely obtuse lol

[keen forum]

The question "who are you?" Was genuine. I have no idea who you are, so any statement from you means nothing to me

[worn bone]

While I think Gen 5 is great, the fanboyism is getting ridiculous

[hexed tusk]

Oh, yeah. And the Gen 5 anime was pretty bad, but the anime hadn't been very compelling for a couple generations by then anyway.

[full mountain]

Nah you know me, we've talked more than twice... Least I think.

I am da Carby!

[keen forum]

Pokemon designs tbh, that's the main thing for me

[keen forum]

No idea

[full mountain]

Bruh I'm joking I never even played black and white lmao

[keen forum]

Sorry

[full mountain]

[hexed tusk]

I honestly really loved a lot of the designs in Gen 5. They were different, but they still felt like Pokémon to me, which the games after XY started losing for me.

[worn bone]

You got me

[hexed tusk]

Samurott is my second favorite Pokémon, and Mienshao is up there too.

[full mountain]

Iz okay! Well allow me to introduce myself:
I am da Carby, am dood whole likes video games.

when pocket pair wins the lawsuit i really hope they add a factory or something to mock nintendo in a non obvious way

[keen forum]

Although I appreciate the introduction, I quite did not ask ^^"

[full mountain]

Fair and valid

[nocturne rune]

ugh-- i just hope this lawsuit bs won't fully stop them from making new pals & palworld related things
im not worried abt the game going down anymore-
but
i HATE how it might stiffle palworld's progress

(not a lawsuit related thing, just wondering if we'll get more pals and updates at all???) 😭

[hexed tusk]

Sun and Moon was the last gen I felt was "alright" overall for Pokémon designs, but I still didn't like the game. It was so sluggish. It was paced horribly and I didn't like the map. Music was bland and forgettable, too. XY had the last soundtrack that felt like Pokémon to me.

[stone harbor]

i got you one sec

[worn bone]

last good one was XY for me

[hexed tusk]

XY was a huge step down from B2W2, but it was still pretty good.

[stone harbor]

[full mountain]

Ya know what kinda games I like?

good ones

[sage basin]

I want to make a Pokémon parody game called Pokémon got to sue them all

[nocturne rune]

??????

😭

[tough comet]

you'd proably be sued by that

[sage basin]

It’s a parody, which is legal

[robust mica]

Ough yeah same for me, some thingies like the marowak variant were cool but overall it was eh. I didn't even get to see buzzswole (my favorite critter from that generation)
Also fun fact: I thought the glowing mushroom zone was from sun moon. no it's from sword and shield. I now have no clue how sun moon was actually like, they've blended together for me

[full mountain]

We're as in the dark about future updates as you are

Iirc the next thicc update is in winter? @nocturne rune

[sage basin]

I probably don’t care. I’ll just file bankruptcy and they will get nothing.

[stone harbor]

ok go make it

[nocturne rune]

aahh yeah, i might just see what happens like the rest of you 😭

[sage basin]

First problem is lack of skill of view gaming, making lol

[stone harbor]

is the second probably lack of drawing?

[hexed tusk]

The only good Pokémon games since XY were PSMD, RTDX, Arceus, and maybe New Pokémon Snap.

[sage basin]

Actually, I can draw

[stone harbor]

then find a code monkey

[hexed tusk]

Note how only one of these is a mainline game and not a spinoff.

[sage basin]

Second problem is finding a code monkey that would work for free

[hexed tusk]

RTDX didn't even break 2 million sold, which is depressing.

[tough comet]

https://tenor.com/view/monkey-adult-swim-keysmash-keyboard-computer-gif-20907924

[full mountain]

Just learn to code, it's easy

[sage basin]

I know a little bit of unity, but it’ll take me forever and probably the lawsuit be over before I can make my parody game

[robust mica]

Become the Code Monkey

[stone harbor]

there might be someone in the discord that would do it, one way you could do it to avoid legal issues entirely and make nintendo have to accept that it exists is make it a rom hack, similar to pokemon mmorpg and instead of supplying the rom you tell them which one its made for and you only supply the files of the mod as long as the mod doesn't include any original assets or code from the game itself, nintendo cant lift a finger.

its a legal gray area

[tough comet]

https://tenor.com/view/believe-meme-youll-never-know-unless-you-try-lawn-mower-gif-15688316

[full mountain]

I mean if you prefer visual node based scripting over code based scripting you can try unreal

You can get an unreal game going pretty quick

[robust mica]

me trying to learn python

[sage basin]

ROM hacks can get sued too, but they usually ignore fan games,, but peta has made a parody of Pokémon

[stone harbor]

what i just mentioned outlines what you need to avoid for them to win the lawsuit

[robust mica]

Godot is super easy to begin with since it's a small download and not a ram hog BUT it doesn't have visual scripting; gdscript is pretty easy though (it looks like natural language) and python-like

[stone harbor]

as long as you are only supplying the code for the patch that enables the rom hack and not the rom itself or any of its original assets etc...

they legally can not do anything

[sage basin]

Also, instead of catching Pokémon, you’re suing other Pokémon lake games like ace attorney

[stone harbor]

pokemon uranium however got taken down iirc because they were too close to the game and it was just too well made, the rom for it is still out there, just a pain to find

and they used direct derivatives/variants of existing designs

[cunning shadow]

Hambaga

[cunning shadow]

They taking all our elements

Im planning a game
But its hard to have both the level of power balance I want and freedom I want

[nocturne rune]

https://haukadalur.gagnvegir.is/thorleifsstadir/

[cunning shadow]

For example you could theoretically have like any character from any game, except at lv 100 they all have basically the same stat point pool number to draw from, and their abilities just have different allocations

[cunning shadow]

I dont speak spanish

But I run into some issues when considering like external items that may have their own stats

Like a giant robot or warship

Cuz you could just fly it onto a planet and decimate stuff

[nocturne rune]

sorry xDDD

spanish. lol

[small berry]

Yo no hablo hispaniolo

[olive seal]

Sorry I don’t speak Spanish

[nocturne rune]

its not spanish 😭 wah

[weak veldt]

Look at how monster sanctuary does their capturing

Wouldn't want to be as much as possible like them but it's an idea

[cunning shadow]

"Monsters can be tamed by hatching eggs obtained from wild Monster drops at the end of a battle as a possible rare reward, Reward Boxes or certain story events. Hatching a Monster egg will give you its corresponding Monster."
Hm

[olive seal]

Or just tie them up cowboy style to own them

https://tenor.com/view/riding-horse-hunter-arnold-ultimate-cowboy-showdown-rodeo-cowboy-gif-21270373

[robust mica]

please I want more cowboy shenanigans
but then how do you bring pals out....

[stone harbor]

i mean theres lots of ways you can change how certain mechanics interact, you could even make your own unique way for taming, could use traps, magical devices that just suck them in, reward for beating it in battle it leaves behind an egg that has a 50% chance of being what you just beat in battle or 100% really up to you on how generous you want to be.

but in my opinion what comes down for a lot of people that really matters on these games.

• monster design
• how well the games made
• rewards for completing it

so i don't think the capture mechanic itself fully matters as to how its done

[teal iron]

No I think a lot of people would feel this game lost its spark if you changed the capture mechanics in any way that complies with that patent

I know I would

[stone harbor]

no im talking about for monster taming games in general

it doesn't have to be throw a ball or sphere at it to get it, lots of ways to go about it

[teal iron]

Imo Palworld won't work with any of those other methods

[stone harbor]

i never mentioned palworld specifically

[cunning shadow]

Hmm lets see in my game to catch monsters umm

Beat them up or make them like you
And then

Pokeballs are like some sort of space magic or technology that can be overcome with sufficient force, at least until the catch is complete

But they're not humane
Only if the space were larger

[stone harbor]

if you wanna see something fun in palworld if it hasnt been patched, put a trap next to black marketeer

[olive seal]

And fire under it

[stone harbor]

yes

and watch it spaz out

and become a helicopter

[stone harbor]

i mean if we're talking about the realisticness of pokeballs unless its transferring them to another dimension or plane, its more like a murder ball thats cloning the pokemon on exit and killing it everytime it enters, that and if you were to condense some of those pokemon down as much as the ball seems to do, the energy from doing that would leave the ball at a high temperature for awhile

[cunning shadow]

It just shrinks them
Just some as yet completely impossible technology

Wait i thought we had img perms in here dang

[teal iron]

No, Pokemon have this weird ability to shrink (this is actually canon) and the pokeball makes them shrink to fit comfortably

[stone harbor]

and im mentioning physics and how things would work outside of a fantasy direction

[teal iron]

Well outside of fantasy the pokemon wouldn't exist

[icy pecan]

Do the pal spheres shrink

How can we carry 999 of each kind at one time

[teal iron]

I think pal spheres bend time and space

Maybe just space

Idk if we or unreal engine are ready for time bending

[stone harbor]

eh, i wouldn't question it too much unless its a for fun thought

[icy pecan]

https://tenor.com/view/sheldon-cooper-bbt-sleep-i-dont-need-sleep-gif-5115394

[cunning shadow]

True
Classic magical unexplained game inventory

Its gotta be alternate dimension/space magic/technology that's the only way

In a book im reading a guy has a Sea of Soul where beast soul pets and equipment reside until u need them
In his minds eye or something

Also later he gets a bottle that can shrink stuff into like another dimension inside it

[cunning shadow]

Oh lol

[stone harbor]

yea, sometimes its best to just leave it to magic

[cunning shadow]

Im on like page 6949 and only halfway
Theyre not dense pages but damn

[stone harbor]

otherwise you end up with people over thinking it and then running calculations for what steve from minecraft would be like if he was real using the things he can do as a measurement of strength and such, its all good as little for fun thoughts

[cunning shadow]

In terra battle 2 at one point they just made the inventory infinite it was nice

[stone harbor]

yea im not really a fan myself of limited systems, especially when you can just code a generic inventory and have it just add a space as needed and add a scroll bar

[cunning shadow]

For real im like why did you arbitrarily make it so limited

Although I do need a better sense of the value of limitations

[stone harbor]

yea, the main thing holding some games back are current cpu/gpu/device/engine limits, one of the main things holding back anyone trying to make something with truly infinite growth is number calculations like on diablo 3 for example once you get high enough in the damage calculations are so high and theres so many that the game just craps itself

[cunning shadow]

Rly lol

[stone harbor]

yup

[teal iron]

I mean limited inventory is ok the problem with Palworld is they limit it by both slots and weight

You should only limit by one of those things

[cunning shadow]

I was trying to think of what the limits should be in my game and a star collapses into a neutron star between 1.4-3 solar masses, above that it's a black hole

So a ship with similar mass would be uhh well could use that for inspiration

But I couldnt really make any conclusions for my game from that yet

Although a dyson sphere surrounding a star harvesting the stars energy would have different physics, being hollow or whatnot

Oh yeah but the gravity would be pretty high so the inhabitants would have to be like super humans just to live in it

[stone harbor]

its also why the gold cap on runescapes been 2.147 since it came out, they didn't make it with certain things in mind and now their code is so spaghettid changing it would take time, like if you want to use a bigger number you can use long or biginteger to handle it, but bigint also cant directly work with float/double/int in my knowledge so anything handling numbers would have to be formatted over and same with anything calling on it or theyd have to do a workaround to translate those variables into bigint with more coding but if you do that you lose precision and things might not work as intended

then with bigint while the number does have a limit and is considerably larger the issue you run into there is the calculations and how taxing it is on the system/servers

[nocturne rune]

as a runescape player, ooooooh

[stone harbor]

its cap the number after awhile or let things break down

[cunning shadow]

Huh
Maybe they should move the 0 and change the minimum prices of everything idk

But yeah changing the variable type would be good

[stone harbor]

so while i hate finite systems i know a truly infinite one just isn't really feasible with current tech/limits, WoW had a similar limit on its currency at one point for awhile that still at max read out to be 2.147 but i believe they reworked that a few expansions ago

[cunning shadow]

But maybe carbon based lifeforms have a limit to how much gravity they could handle in any situation based on the integrity of their atoms

[small berry]

What in gods name is happening in this chat

[stone harbor]

nerd stuff

[cunning shadow]

lol

[heady light]

you mean before they start fusion?

[cunning shadow]

No just die from the weight lol

[stone harbor]

that would be interesting, i know in order to handle higher gforces and stuff pilots go through training and such, would be interesting to find out if there is a limit to that even with training, conditioning, evolution over time ensuring it passes on to future generations

[cunning shadow]

Im tryna plan a game but trying to somehow have both a lot of freedom and balance

[sick flame]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-kill-gun-gif-5611209 @peak folio

[heady light]

ah, well yeah, but that isnt anything specific to being carbon based

[cunning shadow]

Denser elements would have better integrity

[heady light]

if its a solid block of that element, but also has to do with structure

like diamond can handle compression a lot more than coal

but both are carbon

[stone harbor]

yea, if you want an exact answer to your question itll require a lot of research and studying

[heady light]

like i feel like if every cell in an organism was triangle shaped it would be able to take a higher gravity

[stone harbor]

i wonder if anyones done research on this back in like the 70s or 50s this feels like one of those wacky thought experiments theyd do along with the sleep deprivation stuff

[cunning shadow]

Lmao

Basically if I wanted a super weapon spaceship the size of a sun umm the inhabitants would have to be robots or something otherwise their organs would explode

But my game will also have magic so that is the alternative but u would prob need to use your stats on a magic build or something

[heady light]

well than you dont have to explain anything if you dont want cause the answer can always be space magic

[stone harbor]

i mean that also depends on its mass, but something that big would have a pull of some sort regardless even if it was mostly hollow

[cunning shadow]

But if someone wants a tech build they would be limited

Prob cant put stats into umm magic hp or whatever

But they could be a robot or control robots

[cunning shadow]

I would need some good ah physics to calculate this

[rapid marsh]

I miss my old 1987 ford 4 door w hatchback.
Mother wrote it off while I was using it to learn to drive.
ITS SUPPOSED TO BE THE KIDS THAT WRECK PARENTS CARS!!!! Not the other way around 😒

[nocturne rune]

NOOOO 😭 that's just a sad fate, and ironic!!

[cunning shadow]

Wym wrote it off

[rapid marsh]

Tis in the past though, long in the past now. It’s why I ride motorcycles. I figured what she can’t legally ride, she can’t wreck 😆

[stone harbor]

lets put it like this, in terms of mass the earth only equals to about 3.58% of the sun, so an object as big as the sun but with mass equal to the earth itself, it would have the same pull as the earth

[rapid marsh]

Crashed it and it was not fixable.
It literally had half of a front end.

So, think full length of the engine Bay Area- and then half that.
She had massive crumple.

[cunning shadow]

"...No, gravity is not higher in the middle of the Earth.

In fact, gravity is zero at the very center of the Earth. This is because the mass of the Earth is distributed evenly around you, pulling you in all directions with equal force. As a result, the gravitational forces cancel each other out, resulting in zero net gravity.

As you move closer to the Earth's surface, the gravitational pull increases due to the increasing concentration of mass beneath you. This is why we experience gravity on the surface of the Earth."

[rapid marsh]

She got very very lucky.

[cunning shadow]

Crazy

[cunning shadow]

Oh damn
I like cars with good crash ratings for sure

[rapid marsh]

(Looks at the physics discussion)

Immovable rod vs torrasque.

(And yes, that’s something that’s been done in D&D).

[stone harbor]

i was referring to its surface level, not internally

[cunning shadow]

What is that

[rapid marsh]

If you’re a DM and someone whips out an immovable rod in a torrasque encounter, you can be sure they’re pilebunkering it with physics……

(This is something Neft would do because he’s a chaos gremlin)

[rapid marsh]

Dungeons and dragons.

[cunning shadow]

I was just wondering how the gravity distribution works

[stone harbor]

ah

its likely the same way or similar

[peak folio]

Looks legit
https://youtu.be/3dgQcSn9wAs

[stone harbor]

like the death star from star wars for example - this would technically have its own gravitational pull as well

[cunning shadow]

"Gravitational force is proportional to the mass of the object and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the objects. " - Gemini

It says gravity would be lower

I guess bc the mass would be more spread out despite being the same

I guess like how a huge star far away has barely any effect on us

Idk how they simplify equations like that so much and have it be accurate
"Ah yes, the square"

[stone harbor]

yea, its super confusing if you want the exact answer

[cunning shadow]

Im answering it -_-

I guess not exact

Instead it's like "you reached the physics limit"

But it doesnt tell you you just die of physics

[sick flame]

https://tenor.com/view/gun-cat-hats-gunfire-gif-13740634

[cunning shadow]

Anyway imma read my book

[stone harbor]

but im sure someones done the math on it and got it exact or as close as possible to exact, i mean we're not building actual planets so its kind of hard to say to the exact specificality of it, i mean you could look at the gravitational pull of each planet, density, size etc... i mean in theory if we make something as big and dense as the sun it should by all means have the same gravitational pull, but to make something as big as the sun but with less density getting the exact numbers on the right gravity and stuff on there gets harder and more calculating.

lets assume it all works the same, being at the center = pulled in all directions, being on the surface means the full force of gravity is affecting you, chances are youd probably have its core be at the center with platforms stretching out away from it.

so if you want it to be exact you could try to math out what you mentioned above with it being spread out, since thered be stairs, platforms and other things taking up space that likely weigh less than say a rock the same size as it.

im not saying its incalculable, just hard and since theyd be inside a ship like this, theoretically theyd be taking less of the gravitational pull in a way by being closer to the core of the object.

[tacit latch]

What the'

I KNEW IT

That's why pluto is so small

It's manmade..

[stone harbor]

yes now spread this around along with the earth is flat in a glass dome theory

[tacit latch]

Don't pull that shit with me I've seen the earth

[cunning shadow]

I dont really understand why gemini said the center of the earth has no gravity if it also said gravity is mass vs distance squared, bc at the center everything is pretty close to you moreso than at the edge

It might have lied not sure

[stone harbor]

its a joke

Its weird how flat earthers are like "its flat bc its pulls me down and up and down is obvious" but they just see gravity as some magical downyness

they also refuse to acknowledge the 24/7 live stream from nasa

Nah i gotta have some decent grasp to use it in a game
Not necessarily perfect cuz that would prob break the processor

[heady light]

pfft convection, next youll be telling me cold isnt a real thing

[stone harbor]

its not neither is heat, its all in your state of mind

trust me bro

[heady light]

and that centrifugal force isnt real

[stone harbor]

nah thats just a myth

[heady light]

scientists draw some straight lines and be like "centrifugal force is a fake force"

[cunning shadow]

I learned the earth wouldnt have a magnetic field if it stopped spinning

[cunning shadow]

🐛

[heady light]

its fine, we could just electrocute it and that would make a magnetic field

[cunning shadow]

Electromagnets have to have electrons moving in a circle/spiral
Idk about permanent magnets

[heady light]

wait i was being anti svience

urm, i mean

[cunning shadow]

O

[heady light]

scientists be all like "magnets are just electricity with a hat on"

[cunning shadow]

Fancy electricity

[stone harbor]

i mean the core itself is rotating slower than the mantle last time i checked up on current research, theoretically you could make your own core and everything else, the exact specifications is beyond what my brain can process, it hurts just thinking about it, but if the core ever completely stopped wed be screwed

[heady light]

if magnets amd electricity are the same thing, then why doesnt it make my tongue tingle when i lick a magnet?

checkmate.

[cunning shadow]

Just gotta make a rly big mining robot and put 1/8 of a planet in a bucket and then cook it and isolate the iron and then umm we have enough materials to make a core

[cunning shadow]

Permanent magnets are umm atoms with aligned electron spin but i guess low charge

But a sufficiently powered electromagnet would prob shock you if you lick a metal part

[heady light]

also, if the core is iron, and its hot, why it still magnetic?

[cunning shadow]

Idk i guess the electrons can still pass through it or maybe umm the active electrons are not touching that part
Idk that I would have to ask gemini and mentally filter whether it is lying

Gemini is rly great but sometimes lies

[stone harbor]

yea an interesting video i watched on this was about a guy a long time ago that kept vanishing and appearing claiming to have made a time machine and had reached out to radio host hg wells.

the guy sounded completely crazy and off his rocker, but he went into detail on making the device on some aspects

yeah the lhc is only one of the things they do

they also make a lot (relatively) of antimatter

the amount of custom tech, programming knowledge, power and god knows what else to actually time travel or actually rip open a hole to another dimension is crazy but it makes for fun thought experiments

[heady light]

nah but youll get backpain 👍

sounds like you're still in school, trust me things like that wont matter later in life, i mean if someones an insecure bastard they might not like potentially being shorter than you, some people got weird hang ups, but most people likely wont care

baldurs gate, good game, just wish i was able to complete it, i keep getting side tracked and starting over to explore things

[heady light]

im on act 3 on my honor mode run

sword bard is super op

[stone harbor]

i never had issues with the games difficulty, i just keep feeling like i miss certain events in a chapter and then i go back and find something new, act 1 has so much content in it, its nuts

[heady light]

yeah you just gotta keep playing

no point fretting over choices like that if your gonna reset and not see the consequences

[stone harbor]

i also found theres quite a few of those hidden parasites around that you can find to get those powers beefed up quite a bit vs rushing it too

[heady light]

yeah, youll want to mostly put them all on one person

mostly for that one power that kills stuff if your attack leaves it with less hp than number of tadpole powers

[stone harbor]

ill beat the game eventually once i have a run thats as close to a full completion as possible, some things that are choices require a 2nd playthrough of the same digging around, but i just want to see all the little side stories and content

[heady light]

your first run your better off just going through and trying to finish

well donsome side stuff for levels, but dont worry too much about 100% or anything first time

just get an ending

youll have more context then when you try and do everything

[stone harbor]

then agreeing to some options they give you a parasite, later on they give you another, then you betray them and take one off their body

😂

[cyan acorn]

hi

[stone harbor]

i mean some consequences gives you a game ending long before act 4 or whatever

you can get a game ending as early as act 1

Yes

It was specifically about Palworld.

[full mountain]

Did the nintendo news release say that?

[humble parrot]

Yes

[stone harbor]

looking at it now, looks like a souls like game, even has meditating at spots kinda like bonfire resting, upgrade system and stuff is similar to it, but so far it looks easier than a typical souls game, especially since you can immobilize certain enemies for brief moments and you get that at your first boss?

looks like itll be a harder game than say biomutant at late game, but it has similar issues with biomutant like being overly generous on enemies getting staggered from what ive seen

[cunning shadow]

State sanctioned mythology? What u mean?

[wraith oriole]

CCP censors anything that could be misconstrued or interpreted as against the state, or 'a threat to public decency'.

So this literally means everything from dao, to confucism, to buddhism (or any religion for that matter) are restricted/actionably punishable for.. Existing.

Similar to how the orthodox church was expelled/banned in soviet russia in favor of 'secularism'.

Anything tied up in chinese money is bound to have some sort of censorship or strings being pulled somewhere.

Unless it benefits them of course.

[maiden pasture]

Hopefully they keep us updated on what's going on.. Stupid big company attacking a small developer just cause they gave the players what they wanted instead of garbage that said company has put out for last 10+ years

What does that have to do with the conversation you're not adding anything at all

[rapid marsh]

Valid question though.
Are you a lawyer who’s fluent in Japanese patent laws.

[peak folio]

This suit involves exclusively Japanese companies in Japanese court under Japanese law. Calling out the need to be familiar with this as racist is rather silly.

[rapid marsh]

Deflection

[rapid marsh]

That’s a deflection tactic. Throwing “racist” is tantamount to saying “shut up”

Especially when it’s a valid question.

[topaz prawn]

My good sir you’re wrong because when you tell me, I’m Japanese lawyer you indeed racist because I’m American I do love Pokémon You just don’t want to see games to shut down because they are all similar to the To games from Nintendo have the same codings and models and music from Zelda

They say 100%, however many cases are settled out of court, which by technicality can be claimed a “win” by investors and stock holders.

[grand falcon]

"to similar to pokemon"

Huh weird.....didn't know pokemon was NOT a turn based game, that has survival and building mechanics

I must be buying Chinese rip-off pokemon games, because I never experienced that

Can you tell me where to get the official pokemon games?

[olive ravine]

Ahhh

[rapid marsh]

The most recent “win” was an out of court settlement to the tune of 30M in Nintendos favour

And that was patents

[grand falcon]

@rapid marsh have you ever played a pokemon game that has survival, building, and NONE turn based combat?

Because I could of sworn for the past like 2 decades, Nintendo been using the exact same formula, which is:

1. Lazy story
2. Turn based combat
3. RNG

[olive ravine]

Which game did the infringerinos

[rapid marsh]

Nope, never have played a Pokémon game like that, and I’ve played all of them bar arceus

[rapid marsh]

Sorry, 15 million

@topaz prawn please tell us where your buying your pokemon games from

Btw, Zelda breath of the wild stole the tower system from assassin's creed

Pokemon also stole multiple designs from dragon quest

I’m aware of it.

But the designs are radically different

Pizza and pizza rolls are nothing alike

[rapid marsh]

It’s like the derps saying jormuntide is Garydos 😆

Jormuntide is more akin to Jormungundr or the world serpent from Norse mythos

Sorry google but I can’t take it anymore.

[runic yew]

Contrary to popular belief, many people were already brainwashed. It's not that Pocketpair is suddenly bad, but it's that Nintendo is always good.

Nintendo has the same status as (classic) Disney or Apple: perfect and untouchable.

[rapid marsh]

Bruh, they steal our copies of palworld and imma go looking for a class action lawsuit on Nintendo.

Otherwise I’ll just walk into their Australian office and help myself to their stuff. What’s good for the goose is good for the gander you know

[olive ravine]

Thats petty theft tho

[runic yew]

That only works in certain parts of California

[rapid marsh]

If they steal from me, I’ll steal from them. Petty begets petty. I’ve never used emulators either

[runic yew]

Generally software, including games, is licensed, not sold.

[olive ravine]

But you won't get very far and who knows what the Australian judicial system is like

[rapid marsh]

Same as every other judicial system. Favours the rich.

Hm, nothing really new here.

"Nintendo would also be viewing enforcements like these as a sort of investment in imposing an unspoken fear of retribution in the marketplace for other companies, as in, ‘Look what we did to this guy, don’t cross us and we won’t do it to you too.' Even if they don’t intend to enforce these patents ever again, the fear would still be there to deter other companies."

[olive ravine]

sighs more speculation

[runic yew]

Isn't this a violation of antitrust law in multiple countries?

You can't scare people into not competing through questionable lawsuits.

[peak folio]

Expert speculation is better than discord speculation.

[olive ravine]

I want closure

[peak folio]

We’re not getting that this year.

[runic yew]

Or the next

[rapid marsh]

It can also be deemed as anticompetitive.
Australia has laws against that.

[runic yew]

Though I remember Yuzu folded fast when Nintendo sued

[rapid marsh]

Nintendo also has everything yuzu researched and developed for their emulator as well.

[runic yew]

It is generally unlawful to use underhanded or harassing tactics to exclude competition in the US as well.

In theory, Japan too, but Nintendo has too much power there.

[rapid marsh]

Can’t be fucked doing it? Steal it.

[peak folio]

It very well could be. Ngl I’d want nothing more for Pocketpair to humiliate Nintendo not once but twice. That being said we* don’t have any facts about what Nintendo’s problem even is.

[runic yew]

Of course, only Nintendo's competitors (who are targeted) would have standing to bring an antitrust lawsuit.

[rapid marsh]

The reason we don’t have the list of patents Nintendos suing for is because they’re renewing a whole crapload of them, and likely updating and altering some while they do it

[runic yew]

Pocketpair could file an antitrust lawsuit in the US, potentially; or (later) seek declaratory relief that Palworld does not violate any patents in the US, at least.

[rapid marsh]

They don’t like an even playing field.

[peak folio]

But we don’t know that either.

[olive ravine]

Isnt that underhanded

[runic yew]

The US would be a reasonable venue for an antitrust dispute or a patent dispute since (1) Palworld is sold to a worldwide audience and (2) The sales primarily occur through Steam and Xbox, platforms operated by US-based companies

[rapid marsh]

Yes. And that’s what Nintendo do. All the time.
Underhanded “Gotchas”

[peak folio]

It’s true

[nocturne rune]

i will join you.

[rapid marsh]

And it would be why Nintendo have chosen Japan as the stage and not the US courts systems.

[peak folio]

Or maybe because Pocketpair is in Japan.

[runic yew]

Well, also because both Pocketpair and Nintendo are Japanese companies; but Pocketpair does have the option to file new suits in the US. I cannot promise any results with those, though.

Japan is the most reasonable venue, but the US is the second most reasonable one.

Any other venue would be questionable at best

[rapid marsh]

The US does follow a certain precedent of laws though.
Niantic vs NantWorks being a primary example of a patent being ruled as anti consumer. (It was a patent on AR tech, which NantWorks sat on until after niantic made big $$$).

[runic yew]

Well, the US does, which is why I'm recommending Pocketpair file a suit in the US seeking antitrust enforcement and/or declaratory relief stating that certain patent(s) are not infringed.

(As usual this is not legal advice and I'm not a lawyer)

At the least, this will force Nintendo to pay attention to the US case as well.

[rapid marsh]

And, if anyone does remember the old 3ds augmented reality games, I’m quite sure they didn’t ask NantWorks for permission on that 😆

[runic yew]

I do not think Nintendo could do anything about it (as far as I know, Japanese courts do not issue anti-suit or anti-enforcement injunctions, so there is nothing to stop such a suit)

really looking forward to this releasing

[remote obsidian]

im gunna be sailing the seven seas if that happens ngl

[teal iron]

We should file a class action against Nintendo for "loss of enjoyment of life"

[runic yew]

that's not a valid cause of action

[rapid marsh]

https://tenor.com/view/captain-sparrow-smiles-johnny-depp-gif-3829357382943597812

I won’t be bothering with an emulator or such. I’ll just reset animal crossing, make my switch off line and grab that wonderful cartridge that’s on the market.

[runic yew]

NOOO NOT THE RUSSIAN ONE

[rapid marsh]

Well, it’s certainly going to be…….. Russian to my mailbox for my enjoyment 😆

[cyan acorn]

youtube banning russian 😦

@snow thistleHey how thing in court still patient?

[runic yew]

I've said multiple times that courts and lawyers don't work weekends. It is just barely not the weekend in Japan.

[cyan acorn]

chill dude just got here

[runic yew]

fair, but still, that is a basic fact

[rapid marsh]

Please refrain from tagging Bucky, the guys probably been stuck in meetings all weekend……

[cyan acorn]

Just wonder how the court that all

[rapid marsh]

We won’t know until either pocket pair publicly announces what the patents are, or Nintendo does. Until then, we won’t know.
As of right now, the case is likely still in the filing stage.

[cyan acorn]

Hate Nintendo steal their money

Sometime they greedy like they did with Yuzu

[olive ravine]

Is there a way they could use the notice as toilet paper

[cyan acorn]

Yuzu lost 2B$ because of it

Shame

[olive ravine]

Wdym

[cyan acorn]

Nintendo think emulator are illegal now

[olive ravine]

There was a time i shamed ppl for ripping the ROM for echoes of wisdom

[cyan acorn]

That because they show it not Yuzu did

[rapid marsh]

Nope.
As it’s a legal document, you can be charged by the judge for contempt of court.

[remote obsidian]

emulators themselves aren’t necessarily illegal but yuzu was supporting piracy which is illegal.

[cyan acorn]

How that illegal

[rapid marsh]

Nope, Nintendo own Yuzu, technology and all. Which means Nintendo have all the legalities in place to sell pc users the Yuzu emulator and sell digital roms to go with it.
No effort required on Nintendos side to develop it.

[runic yew]

Yuzu didn't lose $2 billion. The company went bankrupt and that was it. No personal liability.

[cyan acorn]

Don't forget android in google play

[runic yew]

Technically Yuzu was previously (and still is) available under the GPLv3, which is irrevocable (even by Nintendo).

Nintendo could sell it, but the GPLv3 code is still there.

[rapid marsh]

So, you’ll likely see an official Nintendo “emulator” that you can buy games for coming to pc at some stage. They’ve always wanted a slice of that market.

[cyan acorn]

You can use like apk an stuff

[remote obsidian]

downloading games, songs, or movies, without paying for them is illegal

[cyan acorn]

What if people poor?

[runic yew]

Nintendo might try to sue people who distribute GPLv3 code, but probably not, as we know the license cannot be revoked anyway.

[remote obsidian]

piracy is still illegal?? just because you can’t afford it, it does not mean piracy should be legal.

[cyan acorn]

I mod my wii I allow do that at home as long no sharing links

[runic yew]

Now, in some jurisdictions there is no penalty for downloading pirated content, only sharing it

[cyan acorn]

also no stream it either too

[cyan acorn]

Well you can download them in google play android like dolphin emulator and other like pizza boy

Pizza boy A is gameboy advance and C is gameboy app

@rapid marshLike how retroarch not banned for many years

including in amazon tablet

[runic yew]

Emulation is legal, because there's no way for it not to be (it doesn't contain any copyrighted work?)

[cyan acorn]

Well as long owner don't add roms

[runic yew]

At worst, an emulator might be developed in an illegal way, but the final product is still legal.

[cyan acorn]

yep like sysbot is legal for pokemon games

Sysbot only dected legal pokemon

@runic yewimagine they made sysbot for palworld for legal pal monster

[astral oak]

Do you enjoy the game alot

[gleaming tangle]

Personally yes I enjoy it, but at the same time im not sure if I could wait for a better deal because i own it on Playstation already

[astral oak]

Personally, i wouldn't. However i am the guy who got minecraft on 5 different consoles and is gonna get sparking zero on 2. So

I do to own minecraft on 4 platforms

@drifting oar true but 2024 seems to be the year of exposing everyone

Felt like last year was already "that" year :P

I think the ball just keeps rolling

Haven't really seen much of it 2023

Some yes but not as much as 2024

Maybe I'm just hanging around the right places

[gloomy vector]

out of curiousity. Cannot PalWorld try to get patents for the game to counter nintendo xd

[grand falcon]

No, because neither game have "completely new" mechanics

What Nintendo is doing, won't work

[gloomy vector]

I hope so.

It did work for the nemesis system from warner brothers and this method of just claiming patent is just so stupid. Like you just put a huge block on the video game industry just for your own grewd

[grand falcon]

The nemesis system was completely unique, no one used it before and never existed before, so it was completely unique

[teal iron]

Did they even sue anyone for it though

[gloomy vector]

lets hope that nintendo doesnt get through with it. cause nintendo has a fearful reputation on how good there lawsuits are

[grand falcon]

Nintendo/pokemon hasn't been in that many lawsuits

And the times they were in lawsuits, it was because people were straight up stealing pokemon

But palworld isn't doing that, at all

And from a quick search, most of the time they just threatened to go to court, but never did because just the threat alone was enough

[teal iron]

that's what I'm saying

It sounds crazy but I genuinely think Nintendo's lawyers might actually have pretty mid experience levels for actual lawsuits

It's like that one item in TTYD that scares enemies away
Like yeah you won a hundred battles but because you didn't actually fight you don't have any EXP

[stone harbor]

yea and making completely new mechanics for anything with how much stuff exists is tantamount to insanity, unless your creative

[small berry]

Nintendo should patent deez nuts tbh

[rapid marsh]

Oh, mine was a terminator reference.
Specifically the T-1000 Liquid Metal.

[teal iron]

i know that was the joke

[rapid marsh]

That joke went over my head like a water balloon off the mark sadly. I haven’t had much interest in sonic since sonic the hedgehog 2 😆

[stone harbor]

i had interest in the new sonic game until i saw gameplay of it

it lacked so much world building, it had a story but aside from that it was just you aimlessly wandering around a landscape that had assets just kinda thrown around

ik 3D platformers aren't easy to make, but it could of been a vastly different game

[small berry]

the latest Ratchet and Clank did well, didn't it?

[bitter rover]

I enjoyed Ratchet and Clank a lot on PS5. was a fun game

[small berry]

could have as easily been a flop I guess

[bitter rover]

I have sonic frontier as well. and while the sondtrack is good. I got bored with wandering around aimlessly quick

[small berry]

All those games, including stuff like Spyro did well at the time cause they were new

idk if those games would have the same appeal nowadays, I think they would have to up the quality quite a bit

[rapid marsh]

Croc legend of the gobbos is getting a remaster as well

[small berry]

remasters are low risk I guess

[rapid marsh]

So that’s a nostalgia hit there, but that’s from early 2000s PlayStation, much like Spyro.

Zoomers are not going to want it

[small berry]

making a new Spyro like the creator aspires to, I think that's a huge challenge

[bitter rover]

Camera's were so bad in early 3d games 😄 we just kinda delt with it

[rapid marsh]

A remaster of Tenchu or Tenchu 2 however, would have everyone creaming their pants

That, or the game that has Hayate from dead or alive in it.

Maybe even shinobi

[bitter rover]

Huh, Aquire helped make octopath traveler. was wondering what they were up to.

and No Hereo's allowed series. Yeah they look solid enough to try a reboot of Tenchu

[rapid marsh]

Remember Abe’s oddessy 😆

Fucking hardest platformer I’d ever tried to play as a teenager 😆

https://tenor.com/view/2d-platformer-abes-odyssey-oddworld-odd-world-game-gif-9268255258227070346

[small berry]

these guys gave me nightmares ngl

[bitter rover]

yeah, very prince of persia type difficulty for the time

[rapid marsh]

Best part was the “press button to fart”.

[small berry]

So many things for "kids" were so freaking scary as a kid

from cartoons to videogames, they didn't care

[rapid marsh]

😅 you’re talking to someone who’s afternoon kids show was called “the ferals”

[small berry]

We're just built different than kids today

[bitter rover]

There were very few 3d / 2d platformers i got through back then. (I didn't even finish hit and run). But I did get through Futurama. (mostly cause I wanted to see the show baked into it)

[rapid marsh]

Plus we had “lift off”…… omfg that faceless doll was creepy…

[small berry]

I had a reason to be scared of the dark the second I had conscience

Given, to be fair, my parents did show me the a portion of the original IT I think it was

they thought it was a comedy, the VHS started the exact moment the shower killing happens

[bitter rover]

https://youtu.be/8O0FElBdmgI

[small berry]

it wasn't the first scary movie my parents played me cause they believed it was a "comedy"

I think the zodiac killer was another one, mid film I was like, mum, this ain't a comedy

There was someone tied to a wall and dissected, this ain't a comedy mom

[rapid marsh]

Plasmo was another tv series, bunch of shorts, but holy heck now I’m older they make sense 😆

[bitter rover]

I was such a scardy cat what growing up about scary movies. anymore though i just like Oh no they split the party. their all dead now

[small berry]

I hated sleeping alone, that's the only thing I remember

to the point one night I had an auditory hallucination of my dad at the computer while I was sleeping, till I remembered my dad wasn't at the computer

that scared me shitless tbh

[night plume]

My dad took us to see Scary Movie because he thought it was a horror comedy and the R rating was for the horror xD
(won't go into detail on confusion bc I've told the story a few times here)

[small berry]

Clicking of the mouse for no absolute reason, must have been a hallucination

[bitter rover]

Uncle Ray Ray has a game too

https://tenor.com/view/scary-movie-scary-movie2clown-gif-11431865

[small berry]

literally the only thing I've experienced in my life that made me think maybe ghosts were actually real was a mouse clicking on its own

I was hallucinating, was I? right, right?

I've been told stories of unplugged radios working perfectly, no battery in it or anything, never really experienced something quite like that

[bitter rover]

My Father In Law after he passed, really fought us moving everything out of his house. car tires would suddenly go flat. Doors would slam. Radios would get turned off.

[grand falcon]

I loved prince of persia games

Shit I still got them

[night plume]

When I was little, Child's Play was an awesome movie to me.
Then, my sister got one of those dolls that are supposed to act like a real baby. I hated it. I removed the batteries. It still cried....
I tied it up, threw it in the gabrage outside and threw a giant rock on the can >.>
Wasn't until I was older that I learned it had a backup battery so kids didn't think the baby died when the batteries died >.>

[grand falcon]

Ghosts are 100% real, doesn't matter if your religious or not

But how you "define" ghosts can change depending on your religion and/or if your not religious at all

[small berry]

Saying ghosts are 100% real is pretty out there ngl

There's really no evolutionary motive for the afterlife to even exist

[cunning shadow]

Hm im still not sure from personal experience

[small berry]

if someone one day can argue there's like a separate dimension we can interact with and give it an evolutionary reason, I'll believe it

[grand falcon]

Believe it or not, doesn't change the fact that they are

Once you see something quite literally flying by its self, there's literally no other explanation

[small berry]

I've heard things that I know were never there, you can see things that are not there and you can see things and confuse it

[cunning shadow]

Meh a lot of ppl just want to lie to make their lives sound more meaningful

[bitter rover]

Were all just a bunch of electrical signals that get recycled into the grid, and thats the background humm everyone always feels.

[small berry]

and those things aren't really as complex as to be able to have an individual effect on anything

if what you're saying is that one day we become a bunch of electrical signals and whatnot, then that means we've devolved in complexity, not evolved

[grand falcon]

IDC if you believe me or not, 3 out of 5 people that lived at my house at the time all saw it with there own eyes

We had this wooden and metal cross that was laying flat on a desk(like how a piece of paper lays on a desk), and when we opened the door when we got back

3 people(including me), all saw it floating in the air above where it was laying, and then got thrown at us

[cunning shadow]

Nothing I can say about that, cant be replicated

I can cloud bust but thats all ive seen so far

Also qi is somewhat proven from scientific studies

[small berry]

I know specially with underage people, under 24, collective and individual hallucinations are not something extraordinarily rare

our brains are really prone to missfires when it's developing

[cunning shadow]

I care strongly about truth so I don't listen to potential bs

[small berry]

I've heard a mouse clicking when I knew nobody was at the PC, I don't think it was a ghost, I legit think I was hallucinating

cause I wanted my dad to be there while I was trying to sleep and maybe cause I was stressed from school, my brain missfired

and it wasn't a pleasant missfire sadly

[grand falcon]

See if I did have video proof

You would be like "well that's fake because why are you recording"

[small berry]

the only way I can see 3 individuals "agreeing" on what they had seen is that they all shared enough experiences for their individual hallucination to have "overflowed", also, gas leaks

I've seen a camera take a photo that showed what was behind the people, like those people were ghosts, my entire family saw that photo, but I guess light can do that to a lense

[grand falcon]

But like I said, IDC if you believe me or not

Like I said, we know what we saw, and people will say "oh it was just the wind" or whatever

But nah, wind doesn't pick stuff up, have it hover in the same spot, and then thrown at you like a baseball

[small berry]

It could very well have been a gas leak or other gases

[nocturne rune]

@grand falcon i believe u. ghosts are deffo real

[grand falcon]

Gas leak wouldn't move an object to where you have to go pick up said item off the floor

[night plume]

Hurricanes hover things and fling them >.>
You take your sister by the arms, swing her around, let go when a big gust comes, she'll hover then fly through the air.
(please do not do this, you will get in a lot of trouble <.<)

[small berry]

Anything that happened mere minutes after you entered the area with the gas could have been an elaborate hallucination, maybe the cross was always there to begin with

[grand falcon]

Hurricanes don't hover things

They fling them, and spin them around the body of the hurricane

Things picked up by a tornadoe(or hurricane), don't just sit in 1 spot

[night plume]

Apprently you haven't done the above before xD

[cunning shadow]

Not necessarily

I can provide video proof of cloud busting

[small berry]

true, air currents and pressure/temperature differentials can do really weird stuff

[grand falcon]

https://tenor.com/view/tornado-jokes-gif-13725202

[small berry]

stuff can deffo hover and be thrown in whatever direction moments after

that's like a 1 in a million chance

still more probable than ghosts

[cunning shadow]

US the tornado capital of the world for no reason

[small berry]

I guess if we saw a cross in the middle of a field, suddenly be elevated by a gust and thrown in whatever direction isn't as shocking as when it happens indoors

[grand falcon]

Can you show a video of a tornado forming/starting in a small room, and not affecting anything besides 1 item?

[small berry]

specially when you're in the way of the current and the cross is thrown your way

[cunning shadow]

It's pointless to discuss that imo
Usually it seems like the ppl just wanted it to be real so they could associate themselves witn supernatural phenomena

But even that I can't claim rationally

Just have to drop it unless a better case shows up

[night plume]

Throw tiny lego man in a vacuum cleaner. Turn on vacuum cleaner in small room.

[grand falcon]

..................I'ma kick your big toe so damn hard

[night plume]

I was trying to send a gif of one of those tornado toys with the sparkles in it xD but gifs only gave me people shaking beers

[cunning shadow]

But yeah I can disintegrate clouds with my mind and teach anyone else to in 10 sec

Pretty cool

On fb I posted the sky before and after clearing like the whole sky lol

Ive proven it to people on many occasions

[viral cobalt]

I think the lawsuit will be in palworld's favor.i think this youtube lawer has point that nintendo maybe digging their own grave

[small berry]

Breh, it's Nintendo

[cunning shadow]

And I can bet money

[small berry]

The amount of people picking at straws thinking someone Nintendo is going Kamikaze for Palworld, it astonishes me

[night plume]

opens briefcase, searches through papers
Found it, There is a thread in the Palworld General designated for the talk on the lawsuit

[cunning shadow]

Lol

[small berry]

It's Nintendo my brother in christ

[viral cobalt]

there is

?

[small berry]

Lets put Nintendo aside

It's Japan my brother in christ

[cunning shadow]

No need for kamikaze anymore we have drones now

[night plume]

I would link it, but I cannot for the life of me figure out how to link threads.

[small berry]

Japan doesn't have over 90% conviction rates cause people go to courts to play games

[cunning shadow]

Wat
Cant really speak for all of japan unless youre begging to be racist

[night plume]

Would you look at the time? I should make coffee

[cunning shadow]

I guess if you're talking about legislation affecting all of japan

[small berry]

I'm obviously meaning statistically and culturally

[cunning shadow]

But not like "all japanese support nintendo to the death"

[small berry]

I think it was Bellular news, they got in contact with a legal expert from Japan, from the Patent field, they claimed Nintendo has never lost a litigation they started in Japan

[cunning shadow]

Hm

[heady light]

just learnt that nintendo has never lost a case in japan that it initiated

[cunning shadow]

I would need more details

[heady light]

i didnt read this i heard it somewhere else wtf

[small berry]

I've mentioned it before

[cunning shadow]

Although in general the masses in any country are unimpressive and doing crazy stuff

Although the avg iq in china and japan is high as well as their low crime rates

[small berry]

https://tenor.com/view/jake-peralta-squinting-read-trying-to-read-brooklyn-nine-nine-gif-13387080

[heady light]

is there any actual details about the case yet other than "nintendo is sueing pocketpair over patents"

[small berry]

I think lawyers from both sides would know "something" if someone was to know anything

and I doubt it will be public until it is dealt with

[heady light]

amazing what happens when you fund things like education and healthcare

[cunning shadow]

"The exact meaning of the name "Nintendo" is unknown, but it is commonly thought to mean "leave luck to heaven". However, there are no historical records to support this assumption. Another suggestion is that the name means "the temple of free hanafuda". Even descendants of Yamauchi, the founder of Nintendo, do not know the name's true intended meaning.

Nintendo was originally a playing card manufacturer, and its logo was designed to reflect this. The logo's black and white color scheme is thought to represent the brand's sophistication and simplicity, while the spades symbol represents the company's heritage."

Should have been Hambaga

"The Japanese phrase hanafuda (花札) translates to "flower cards". Hanafuda are a traditional Japanese playing card deck that feature images of flowers, plants, animals, birds, and other objects on their faces."

None of this would have happened if it were Hambaga

"The Japanese name for Nintendo is 任天堂株式会社, which is romanized as Nintendō kabushiki gaisha."

Dang its a long o
Who knew

[small berry]

Now this clicks, where did you hear it? not Bellular?

someone else contacted a legal expert? that'd be nice

[cunning shadow]

Palworld is Japanese too 💀

[heady light]

nah i just heard it off someone on mastodon

[cunning shadow]

Think of all the pokemon sitting in cramped balls for eternity rn
Sad

[heady light]

its fine, the games arent going to be turned on anymore so they simply dont exist

[cunning shadow]

Changing the subject from theory to reality is not a valid argument

[sage basin]

hahaha...

[peak folio]

Can’t wait to see a AAA take on Palworld in six years.

[small berry]

Moving the convo back to offtopic https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1MBWZWyvMng

[raw rover]

AAAAA from ubisoft Kappa

[peak folio]

Those don’t count.

[peak folio]

I trust that shows the luggage getting it’s ass kicked

[small berry]

not really, the system is pretty smooth

but ofc, when a bag weighs more than 20-25kg, it's a gamble

[peak folio]

Wow that’s gotta be a lie

😆

[small berry]

there's a few spots where a bag could slide off and hit something harder than it should, cause of the material or the surface, maybe if it's wet

but it "shouldn't"

baggage handlers nowadays are way more "delicate" than 10 years ago on average

[night plume]

The couple times I flew, my luggage was pretty well cared for.
The people who went through it for the random check, I would have loved a lesson in packing from them.

[peak folio]

That’s a good point

Probably would get hurt if they did it the same way

[small berry]

most stuff nowadays has containers, which make the chances of a baggage handler smashing a bag a one time thing, when they're loaded into the container

back then most stuff was loaded bag by bag on planes, 10 years ago

[peak folio]

Yeah they used to just chuck that crap.

[small berry]

I've been one of those guys, if the plane has a conveyor belt that doesn't work and bags wont slide to the end of the hull

I will chuck that like it was a bowling ball

[stone harbor]

at least your honest

[small berry]

that was 10 years ago when most planes that werent palletized had broken conveyor belts

cause for some reason people thought conveyor belts were a good idea

[stone harbor]

i mean they are a good idea... on paper

[small berry]

not when they have to function as conveyors and also hold tons of weight tbh

it was foolish

more than 200 bags, 20kg per average, do the math

[stone harbor]

well the weight should be a fixable issue if its made sturdy/reinforced etc.... yea thered be wear and tear

but most people also dont think of potential issues before they happen

[small berry]

planes already were a pretty much assured loss, add that intricate machinery like that, it becomes a no go

that's why all were broken never to be fixed again and eventually they removed the belt entirely

Thomas Cook, those scandinavian cheap %$&%··$&·

Heeeeyyy, tomorrow got an interview with a security company that will pay for my security guard permit, hurray

hoping I don't fuck up

for a year I'll have to go wherever they send me to but after that, I'm free and in high demand

don't let them know I'm a pacifist, at least when it comes to my immediate life

Capcom is asking fans if they’re interested in seeing other “Deluxe Remasters” for series such as Dino Crisis, Devil May Cry, & more!

Din't they failed with dead rising?

[peak folio]

🤷‍♂️

[gleaming tangle]

Drove into work blasting this

[humble parrot]

Onimusha...it's been a while. Same with Dino Crisis.

[stone harbor]

If it's anything like the US it's a 50$ fee to renew yearly for unarmed and for armed it's 100$

Your pay will also depend on where they stick you instead of a generic office job

So one post could be like 30$ while another could be 8$

My advice ride out that year and try to get into private sec or on with law enforcement

Youll make more than with that company in both of those

If they offer you a supervisor role it's a trap, bump in pay is like 2-3$ and the amount of work isn't worth it

[small berry]

it's around 2k for the course, idk about the licenses themselves

[stone harbor]

I had to help my supervisor with backlogged paperwork because it was too much for him to do alone, there was like 5 years of backlog by the time he asked for help

[small berry]

that's the idea

[stone harbor]

Fun times, super boring job mostly

[small berry]

idk about getting a gun license and all but yeah, I'll optimize for what pays me best with least effort

I've got good english so I'm guessing if I can actually do private security there's probably many tourists with properties here that would like someone that can talk to them in their native tongue

specially to sell them security cameras and stuff

I'm guessing I might be doing stuff with cameras until I get the license

idk what these guys work with, I know they're not in places open to the public in 90% of cases

mostly money transfer and I guess both their private security for individuals and companies

So I'm guessing mostly looking at cameras and calling cops

[small berry]

It's usually never worth it to be a supervisor in most jobs unless there's physical labour involved

[small berry]

I love how when things go bad in videogames people start insulting each other and it's always the ones playing the worst that talk the most

literally, someone makes a very obvious bad call and he flips cause of his own mistake

[lusty fox]

We're screwed aren't we? I don't think Pocket Pair is going to win this.

[olive seal]

We have a more dedicated channel for that talk here:

[olive seal]

#1286515445255376928 message

[small berry]

There's the Sony and Microsoft secret cards, but yeah, Pocketpair should concede and spend the least money they can on this very mundane thing everyone expected Nintendo to do

[lusty fox]

i see thank you

[small berry]

It's always cheaper to change things in a videogame than try to change them in court

[olive seal]

I mean you are allowed to talk about that here as well but that channel is only focused on that 😅

[peak folio]

Ehh…

[lusty fox]

They want to own monster catching as a whole basically... that's the basis of the entire game lol.

[teal iron]

how about you try to design a fun creature collector game that violates 0 nintendo patents

then come back and tell us whether pocketpair can justfiably fold on this

[small berry]

I don't know why you say that in response to me saying Pocketpair doesn't have the money to be worth anything

[olive seal]

News articles aren’t being nice to pocket pair and the consensus in japan seems to support Nintendo 😭

[teal iron]

Pocketpair is a multimillion dollar company I think they can afford to go to court

[small berry]

"fold on this" like they could afford to fight just to keep tiny things in their game

it's not worth it

[teal iron]

They're not tiny things this is literally the most fundamental mechanic in the game

[sage basin]

Dose not matter if they don’t like it they find something to sue you for

[small berry]

Nobody freaking knows what the patent is for, or is there new info?

[lusty fox]

exactly

[teal iron]

Yeah they'll just file new patents and sue you for those instead

[night plume]

raises briefcase
How about we wait for the next pocketpair statement and discuss then?

[small berry]

People talking like "folding" would mean no palworld as we know it when Nintendo has dozens of patents

[peak folio]

You’re a pocketpair statement

[small berry]

and we know nothing about which one they care about

[teal iron]

It means we lose a piece of this game, probably multiple pieces, because of Nintendo and I can't accept that

[night plume]

If I become a costume, I am going to save this message >.>

[sage basin]

They sue you even if the lose but they keep it up until you ran out of money

[small berry]

We don't know that and I don't think anybody wants money spent trying to fight a patent

[teal iron]

When have they ever done that?

[night plume]

Could you imagine all the costumes being Discord drawings and jokes? XD

[teal iron]

Nintendo doesn't sue anybody

Nintendo sends a death threat and people run for the hills screaming

they've sued like 4 people, ever

[lusty fox]

They split their original patent to make the new one that specifies the "launch" mechanic. Unfortunately, the new patents get to use their "parent" patent's original publication date, which was before Palworld released.

[teal iron]

And those 4 people made less in their entire lives than nintendo's lawyers make annually

[night plume]

Whelp, my work is more entertaining than this....
falls out of chat

[olive seal]

We should start directing them towards to only #1286515445255376928 message why ruin two channels 😭

[teal iron]

Courts don't charge on some weird proportional sliding scale the fees are a fixed amount and I'm pretty sure that unless pocketpair shelled out the entire sales revenue from this game on like, some giant chillet statue currently being concealed in the alps, they can 100% afford to go to court on this

[small berry]

Can they even have an agreement at this point? can Nintendo withdraw if Pocketpair does anything

[hearty sonnet]

You're right, but this is gonna be something we all have to deal with for some time unfortunately

[teal iron]

they're not a tiny, poor indie studio that is begging on their hands and knees to pay their basic operating costs they should have plenty of liquid assets to throw back and frankly it would hurt more to concede here due to the nature of nintendo's attack

[small berry]

Pocketpair isn't a huge studio, Pocketpair is a studio that had a single ( even if huge) great selling game

[olive seal]

By the looks of it it could be for months 😭
