Hey, that Tardigrade is doing his best, okay!

So I guess all of those unsupervised PPP loans that were forgiven were a nice feather in the Democratic hat, then, huh?

K is also used for half of thermochem, too.

Like all god-fearing men, they are afraid of invisible powers that actually work!

Y’all are getting starter homes?

They buy it because they are easily spooked by long words such as ‘Pasteurization’ and probably fell asleep during the class that talks about all of the diseases that the Pasteurization’ process is supposed to prevent.

I’ve heard that done Tesla models have laminate glass on the doors, like they make the windshield, making most glass breakers ineffective.

Monster Hunter as well.

Can’t wait to see how Bungle messes this up…

If they keep up this kind of parent trolling in Japan up, there aren’t going to be any Japanese devs left to make anything before long.

They only would have ‘broken the law’ in this case if they tried to sell it as their own original work, which it isn’t, and that is what the prompt writer in the op is trying to do.

Before YouTube’s switch to “your going to watch 6 ads before the video starts, and you are going to like it,” schtick, I always enjoyed getting to skip the ad before they managed to tell me what the product even was.

I can respect that. I basically came to the same conclusion regarding most PvP games/modes.

If I’m playing a game to have fun, and I’m not having fun, why am I still playing it?

My online friend group never really saw it my way unfortunately, but it always amuses me when we hang out in voice chat and they’re getting biblical-levels of salty in a match while I’m just chilling and playing Spyro or something.

That being said, it sounds like she’d effectively turned the game streaming into her job. That’d sap the fun out of anything eventually.

You are correct, I missed that it was still under speculation.

Pocketpair has a pretty good case against Nintendo here, I think, because other games have used these things before.

I know it was never actually released, but Scalebound had a mechanic that would have allowed a player to tell their dragon to perform a task, albeit, usually destructively.

Guild Wars 2 Added a mechanic years ago that let players traverse water and land by automatically a switching between mounts.

‘Releasing’ a creature into a 3d environment has been done by every minion-mancer class in an MMO since the dawn of the genre.

Looks like it’s over the game mechanics of ‘releasing a creature into a 3d environment and having it perform a contextual task’ & ‘having a rideable mount switch to a different rideable mount depending on terrain’

I don’t think either of these would work in the US, because you can’t protect game mechanics here, but I’m not sure about Japan’s take.

Edit: I missed that this was still under speculation at the time of the post:

Based on searching of Japanese patent databases, initial speculation is that these may include (but is not necessarily limited to) patents relating to game mechanics and gameplay features from Pokémon: Legends Arceus, and may include patents such as one for throwing and using Poké Balls in a 3D space (JP,2023-092953,A); and one for automatically switching between ride Pokémon as a player transitions between different terrain, such as between air and the ground (JP,2023-092954,A).

Iirc, a company vehicle was worth around 8 grand in salary back before covid. I’m not sure what it would be today, though.
