Nothing says “Death Cult” quite like the prominant display of the murder weapon used against their leader.

I think they should add the word “Fuck” to all age verification prompts until they, too, get censored.

They were always sacrificial pawns. The administration has been salivating over one of them getting killed so that they can invoke Artical 2 and call for martial law.

Text has been a little sluggish with my tests. Might be due to influx of users, though.

It’s quite warm on/near the Pacific right now.

Are those numbers accurate? The latest release I’m seeing on that page is listed as being in 1997.

Hate week is a time-honored tradition!

You laugh, but the engineroom guys refer to the reactor as a “Hot-rock” diety.

Loot/Blind boxes are like a random pack of baseball cards that you can only show to other owners of baseball cards, or someone who is baseball-card adjacent.

Some of them are “rare” in the sense that the card printing company refuses to make more, despite it costing them nothing after the initial card is made.

What’s more is that the printing compamy has decades of psycologic practices to use on their card pack purchasers. For Example:

• Casino-esque animations, enticing younger collectors before that aren’t even allowed to gamble legally, in person.
• Rarity manipulation, making things rarer than listed. If they list anything more than ‘trust me bro.’
• Making sure that purchasers are surrounded by pack buyers who have already got the rarer cards, generating card envy.
• Removing entire card sets from purchase wirh the whole purpose of making purchasers feel like they will miss out, right now and forever, if they do not buy more packs of cards.

Finally, there is also the fact that all of these cards are entirely digital, so the existance of the cards depend almost entirely on the whims of the printers.

The one that upped it by 30% worked for me on a Steam Deck. I can’t parry everything, but i can at least hit the parry now.

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.

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.
