Between original Pokemon, shinies, regional versions, and weird upgrades like gigantamax or whatever

You never know, they might bring it back permanently if they see their playerbase quintuple overnight

Ah shit, guess I’m getting back into overwatch

Some of them are extremely similar, but there were over 3,000 existing Pokemon designs as of Palworld’s release. It would be a statistical wonder if none of them looked similar, especially when our criteria can be as loose as “fire fox” and “Anubis”

at least make an attempt to understand it lol

That’s what I’m trying to do, and the best you can manage to explain to me is “actually you’re wrong.” You have time to type out three paragraphs, but not enough time to explain that the patents the page links to, despite being apparently (as far as I can discern) filed with the Japanese patent office, are not Japanese patents?

I admit I don’t really know what I’m talking about. The patent system is obtuse and virtually impossible to understand. But as far as I can tell, the patents referred to by the article are patents that were filed with the Japanese office. Can you explain what I’m getting wrong?

You quite literally linked info showing the dates of the US patents that are after the release of palworld.

I’m aware of that. The person you were responding to said “Look at the actual patents, though. They list 2021 as the application date in Japan.” Do you want to explain why the website apparently shows an initial application date of 2021 in Japan? Maybe the google patents page is misleading. Maybe it’s showing a related but not equivalent patent.

I really don’t care about the process or validity of suing, nor do I care about the actual application date. I just want to know why it looks a lot like the patents the site links to are Japanese patents, and you’re insisting that they’re not.

What do the dates in them have to do with you getting that basic piece of information wrong? If you have a point to make, make it.

I didn’t say I’d buy it right now lol

Why are you lying? The article links to a google patents page, under the Japanese patents. There are US versions of these patents available to view, which the article didn’t link to.

JP7545191 is a japanese patent. You can click one of the little blue US buttons to see the American equivalent. The same is true of the other two patents in question

Japan is such a weird place that I wouldn’t be surprised if it works

That “Palworld vs Pokemon comparison” thing has to be a joke, right? “These two creatures look similar, so obviously one of them is a blatant ripoff” and “these two creatures don’t look similar, but obviously one of them is a blatant ripoff” lmao

Gonna buy another copy of Palworld just to spite Wesley Yin-Poole and Nintendo

I don’t care about wokeness, the game looks like plastic garbage and they genericized the combat

“A Personalized Profile analyzes your unique head and ear shape for precision sound,” reads the option on the Call of Duty store.

Sounds customized for your specific ear shape??? I’ve never been less willing to believe something in my life

Yo fucking ho my boys

Correct me if I’m wrong, but don’t most Steam games require the steam client in order to run? You can’t necessarily just copy the files into a flash drive and deliver them to another computer.

(unless of course the game has DRM, in which case both suffer from the same problem)

That’s GOG’s whole schtick, none of the games they sell have DRM when purchased from their store. You can always copy the installer to another computer and run it.

The Nintendo way. If someone else is making money, make that your money instead

GOG or TPB, anything else is just extended renting

someone put it their initially

Yeah… Do you think the people using these packs are the same people putting the packs together? Do you think they sifted through reference pack after reference pack looking for the one that had the challenger explosion? Or do you reckon maybe it’s more likely it was an unlabeled picture that the devs didn’t recognize at first?

Did you think they deliberately went and took a screenshot of the Challenger disaster specifically to use in the game? It was part of an asset pack

Imagine if it was worse. “Somehow, Troy Calypso returned”

Well famously Nintendo owns 1/3rd of every dollar Gary Bowser makes for the rest of his life
