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.

Art exists solely as it is interpreted by the observer.

In this case, the observer interrupted the art as trash.

I only care when a single individual or group picks all of the fruit from the public trees just so that they can sell it down the road and profit from it.

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).

I’m not sure why anyone is surprised.

There’s a literal plan on what to do if a zombie outbreak were to occur, so why do one think preparing for something more plausible is off the table?

Iirc, the higher water content keeps the alcohol from evaporating off as fast, keeping it in contact with the surface for a longer period of time.

Especially when one of the loudest religions actively want to doom the world so that their sky daddy can show everyone else how right they were this whole time…

The phrase itself doesn’t matter, they are just listening for some indication of human speech at the start of the call.

If nothing is said, then the system believes that it is a machine doing the same thing.

Provided, of course, that their spam system doesn’t just starts playing a recorded message anyway.

Iirc, that’s usually a sign that the robot caller has found a machine on the other end, since most people first respond with some sort of greeting right off the bat.

Yes.

A knight on each size moves to an open field and grow to be 2x their original size.

All of that productivity and communication and they still used a bedsheet as the background…

Allosaurus!
