Get over yourself, hypocrite

No. The kind of Mean Girls esque “polite assholery” of the previous comment needs to be addressed and called out for what it is.
The people that make those kinds of comments think they’re being nice when they really aren’t. If nobody points it out to them in a way that sticks out they’ll just keep doing it

Dude, just let them not like the fucking game. “Oh no! There’s a piece of criticism about the game! I must make a long-winded reply to make sure to balance it back out”.
Just stop.

- Comment on Why do people are so fine with Warframe monetization methods? 3 days ago:
Warframe makes a point of making everything earnable in game, always.
Well… There is one famous exception to that (Excalibur Prime), but that’s because the people who got it literally saved the company frome tanking

Palworld weren’t forced to make those changes. They did it to avoid injunctions from stopping sales during the precedings.
Also, the majority of the cases are still ongoing. Both in the US and in Japan

And, somehow, fucking won.
No, they haven’t won a single patent case yet. And there’s still ball throwing in the game, but only for captures. The summoning via ball throwing was removed so that Nintendo couldn’t file an injuction against Pocketpair to stop their sales during the case.
If Pocketpair wins the court cases, they can undo the removals.

Don’t forget that these patents (or modifications of existing patents) were made after Palworld released.
Nintendo and their lawyers are scumbags

They also tried to patent riding monsters as well, which is insane seeing that horseriding had been a thing for millenia

Fuck off with this. If Palworld ripped off Pokemon, the Pokemon ripped off Dragon Quest
Quit licking corpo boots

Fuck off which this. Pokemon pulled the same shit when they copied Monster Quest with the first games

Pokemon has that copyrighted or something.
Patented, which is even dumber

C# in Excel can’t even properly pull values from a table correctly. No way I’m going to waste 2-3 trying to make it concatenate non-alphanumeric characters into cells.
At work, there isn’t anyone I have to send tables to that is colorblind. And if that changes, they can make a request. Until then, I’m sticking with red/green

Just saw the plagiarism email post and teah… this is starting to seem fake

yeah, I think the email is probably fake and made for internet points / humor
Eh, you’d be surprised at how far some people will go to criticize women in STEM fields. It’s not everyone, and I doubt it’s even a majority, but there’s enough that I wouldn’t be surprised if this is true.
Or maybe the OOP is a mathematical Lisa Frank. Idk

- Comment on LumenTale, the one monster collector that delivers what matters most: strong monster design 3 weeks ago:
the one monster collector
Dude, you don’t have to disparage other games to promote another. And there’s plenty of other games that do get monster design right. Go look at Coromon or Palworld.
And while LumenTale looks good, I’m not fully sold on the creature design. A lot of it looks overly detailed, like the newer Pokémon games, like everything has swirls and/or spikes.
There’s something to the phrase “less is more”. An overall simpler design with 1-2 defining features does a much better job at making a particular creature design stand out, even amonst a large roster. If everything has tons of details and flair, they all start blurring together.
Personally, I think creature aethetics that are closer to Gen 3 or 4 Pokémon strike the best balance. And some people would argue with me on that point and claim that Gen 2 or even Gen 1 designs are the best. And you know what? That’s fine. People can like what they like because it’s subjective.
And no, that last part isn’t contradicting my first part. I’m giving reasons as to why someone might not like the newer style. For some it’s not a factor, for others it’s a big deal.

And eventually companies will hopefully start cancelling those subscriptions to move to Open Office or Libre Office.
France is already starting that push by having government departments transition first, and are projected to save millions of euros in licensing fees each year. Once you get a critical mass of users on libre software, it’ll hopefully spread on its own

Also, another thing to consider is whether there’s other people around and what their gender is. Consider the scenario of me (a man) walking down the street at night and there’s one person around that I need to pass by to get where I’m going.
If I’m constantly moving my head to look around at everything, I’m going to look really shady and make other people worried. I’m just trying to get somewhere, so I’d rather not bother people, which means it’s better to just look ahead and kinda ignore them, and trust that my peripheral vision will pick up any actual threats.
