Nintendo got a lot of hate and took a big loss with the palworld lawsuit.

You can use the same save file. The devs did recommend starting over though as a lot has changed. You can use the global palbox to store pals you want to transfer between saves.
- Comment on Back in my day we could all fit in grocery stores 5 days ago:
Once the research showed bigger carts lead to more buying, it was inevitable.

International students at US universities are 1% genius level students with full ride scholarships and maybe even grants. 5% student athletes with full rides, and likely NIL packages now. 94% children of rich parents that can afford the full tuition price and an apartment + allowance for their children.

I’m only buying dlc for games I already have.
- Comment on Why is leadership valued so much over expertise? 3 weeks ago:
It comes down to jealousy. A manager can’t possibly make less than their direct reports is a common thought process, especially when both positions are salaried. Some companies are willing to buck the trend and pay at least first or maybe second level managers less than some of their reports at times.
It’s actually somewhat common for roles with commission or tips to make more than management. This also happens with roles that get paid overtime.
- Comment on What hot af take do you have that you think you will be HORRIBLY executed and shunned from society for? 3 weeks ago:
I’m not saying it isn’t a problem, I’m saying it’s been used as justification for things that have little to do with climate change.
- Comment on What hot af take do you have that you think you will be HORRIBLY executed and shunned from society for? 3 weeks ago:
The vast majority of climate focused policy and arguments has nothing to do with climate change. A significant portion is lightly re themed malthusian arguments. Another significant portion is people wanting to change society to their preferred version.

I’d skip the middle man and put them in the trash.
- Comment on My favourite moment of the world cup is when there's more rules about advertising than the sport 4 weeks ago:
More proof this is the dumbest timeline.
- Comment on I still can't get over Skyrim. Are there any games that can replace it? 4 weeks ago:
There’s the older elder scrolls games, or Dread Delusion which is a spiritual successor to Morrowind. There’s mods that change Skyrim up like ordinator. There’s not much thats really like Skyrim.

It really depends on what you are comparing against. A temperature taken in direct sunlight at human height in a paved parking lot is going to be well over 10 degrees different than a grassy area shaded by a building. Even if they are adjacent areas. Proximity to a large body of water can easily change the temperature by 5-10 degrees.
A weather app is going to present a temperature that trys to average all of that for a fairly wide area.
- Comment on What is a game you can’t understand why its so popular ? 1 month ago:
I think the game just has too many mechanics and it doesn’t work that well together.

It happens once they get off the ice.

I’m guessing something was plugged in the bottom one that caused the fire.
- Comment on What character is the king of plot armor? 1 month ago:
The Winchester brothers. They gave up even pretending as the show went on and just embraced the absurdity.

If you aren’t replaceable you aren’t promotable either.

We are basically bags of salt water already.
- Comment on Single player, open world, fantasy, RPG games 1 month ago:
Palworld comes close to what you want. There’s not a ton of story and you can skip all of it if you want, there’s not much gated behind what the main quests are. There’s several different types of random events, you can configure the frequency of some of them as well. It is third person and the tech is more gun focused though.
If you give up the single player part, FF 14 is basically what you want.
There’s not a ton of options because it’s a tough type of game to make, and you have to be better than someone’s experience of yet another Skyrim run.
- Comment on I would like to play a calm game 1 month ago:
Transistor and Bastion are similar games that can be chill with combat.
Thomas was alone is a chill platformer with a nice story.
- Comment on Anon has an epic weekend 1 month ago:
There already is a blood spot test for rare but serious diseases that states do. It depends on the state though for a specific list of what gets tested.
- Comment on SBA #119 maths 1 month ago:
Math should be taught with postix or reverse Polish notation. It removes this ambiguity as the order of operations is left to right.

Really wish they could count to 3 though.
- Comment on How long can someone last with the Death Note in real life? 2 months ago:
Private prisons make of a tiny amount of inmates in the US. Even then they don’t really care, there’s always more inmates.
- Comment on How long can someone last with the Death Note in real life? 2 months ago:
In the US, probably indefinitely. There’s not communication between municipalities to actually track down someone killing local prisoners. Depending on where it happened, it might not even be noticeable among the numbers that die in prison already. The single most improbable part of death note is the initial speed in connecting widespread events to a hyper localized area.
The police also have a terrible solve rate on murder nationwide. Serial killers have decade plus long active streaks while physically killing and hiding bodies. There’s several that never were caught.
- Comment on Let's discuss ideas how Game Pass should be structured and priced 2 months ago:
Something major is going to have to change at some point though with game pass. This year is probably the last time we see a day one release of a major title. Cutting CoD is to test the waters for future cuts.
- Comment on Let's discuss ideas how Game Pass should be structured and priced 2 months ago:
This is basically a rental model. The 2 game limit is just for the cheapest option, you could always pay more for more. If you want a reasonable quality catalog at a sub $10 price there needs to be some level of restrictions. If you want complete freedom it’s going to come at increased cost or a worse catalog.
- Comment on Let's discuss ideas how Game Pass should be structured and priced 2 months ago:
Demos are rare today though. Not to mention some are outright misrepresenting the actual game. Spending some money to try a game without having to do a refund if you don’t like it is a reasonable value. As a PC player I would absolutely spend $15 bucks for a single month to try a few $40-60 games that I would likely purchase through steam after trying. I wouldn’t pay more than a single month at a time though, which also isn’t great for Microsoft.
