I hoped the people running bluesky would be different than *points at every other person behind a social media company*, but it seems like there just is no hope for these kinds of platforms. I don't need this shit, and my life will be better without it. Tschüss!

What I like about this post is that it could have used any character. However, sans the profanity, this is literally something Samos would 100% say.

I would love it if some crack lawyer decided it was a good time to support these guys. Not because I particularly like Palworld, or can't see the obvious influences, but because Nintendo should just not be allowed to own some of the patents being discussed here.
Palworld developer Pocketpair has confirmed it patched out significant features it claims were forced by the ongoing lawsuit from Nintendo.

This is amazing news! Square Enix, Capcom, Taito, and Sega aim to "archive past development materials" to preserve historical assets for research and exhibitions. Use your browser translate feature to read this great article - unless you can read Japanese anyway!
