Just your typical internet guy with questionable humor

  • A couple of weeks of cold per week 🤔

  • That's how I look at 90% of the shit "systems" I'm forced to interact with (xiaomi's MIUI, banking apps, govt apps, apps that should've been fucking websites, websites that "gently nudge" you to use the app, electron apps that are windows only)

  • grumbles in tropical climate

  • Java, verbose? laughs in Pascal

    Python being Esperanto? Yeah, no, because Python is actually being used

  • Running water and indoor plumbing was relatively common in the ancient world.

    Mostly for the rich or other well off citizens, lower classes still had to walk to a local fountain or well to get water

  • True, there was even that creationist "documentary" that got Richard Dawkins to "look like a fool" in it

  • One shit update is all it takes, just ask CrowdStrike and Microsoft

  • The favorite weapon of several politicians and creationists

  • Baby amphibious tank

  • Your rebuttal has no iron or steel covering any spots, thus it cannot be considered ironclad

  • For too much or too little lipstick usage?

  • That enough hot water bath could work just as well as sunbathing for getting a tan. Hey, both things can burn your skin, it's perfectly logical!

  • I know for sure that palworld does not promote good sleeping habits in any shape or form, at least not to my addicted ass

  • The game during loading screen isn't a "game mechanic" per se, which is why I think it was patented back then. Completely ass backwards that it could be patented, but there's that.

    As for the overhead arrow for navigation, I wasn't aware of that one. Was that from EA? I think it can be argued that's not a "game mechanic" either, because it's not "an essential component of the game"

  • It's pretty much the same thing, but with a longer grind towards the final levels. Legendary bosses (jetragon, frostallion, centaur knights) were bumped to lvl 55, there's a couple of "alien" pals from semi random, timed events (meteorites), and a "final" dungeon as an offshore oil rig, which is filled with max level syndicate goons that can kill you really fast, but there are many places you can stay where their AI will effectively break. The game crashing while you're there is a much, much worse enemy

  • Of course they do! It's those weird white boxes that nerdy nerds nerd about with numbers and shit

  • While Microsoft is not a target right now, if that patent for ground-flying mounts is used (which I doubt it will, given it's too recent and widely used by older games), Palworld can just point at World of Warcraft Burning Crusade as prior art and it suddenly becomes MS vs Nintendo.

  • "Multiple patents"

    Specifies none

    Off to a great start, I see. I know that actual game mechanics cannot be patented or copyrighted (the same principle applies to non digital games), so I'm really curious to what these patents are.

  • What really annoys me is the endless stream of scam, "earn money fast with 1 simple trick" ads

    It's literally a scam every single time and trying to report those fall into deaf ears (or blind algorithms) because hey, they're paying to be shown, why should any high ranking executive care? "Oh, I can't be held responsible, sorry!"
