Palworld doesn't play like Pokemon, but it does play like ARK. Whether or not Palworld and Pocketpair is creatively bankrupt is really a separate issue from whether or not they're legally liable.

Is Ark suing them? Do you think Ark was a totally original idea? Goalposts moving hard.

For a kofi update, Malds went from 115% yesterday to 160% today. Gain of 45% of $150 means $67.50 ! 

Came from the usual paypig Stevarow, but also Arrietty shows up for the first time in a while. 



I like how 18 hours ago some money went in, and Malds likely complained she needed fries with the burger today, so Stevarow said ok don’t worry get them fries and donates again

Puts it at about 6pm in Malds time zone. So just got done eating the parents transphobic slop and needed a burger no doubt

I'm totally beating a dead (trans) horse, but Malds posted this 3 hours ago:

https://bsky.app/profile/melodyshreds.bsky.social/post/3l4isvieltr2o



Oh no. So sad. So worrying.

Has Malds done anything-ever-so-slightly-useful to improve his life even one millimetre today? 

Posted 10 hours ago:



Re-tweeting borderline loli-porn for the 10,000th time




Bashing on The Shredder is getting tiresome for pretty much all of us on TheBore. 

I'm actually gonna say something positive for a change.

I really hope Malds one day looks in the mirror, suddenly gets struck by a brutal thunderbolt of reality and says to himself 'Wtf am I doing with my life? I'm not a woman. I don't have tits,' pulls does his G-string, looks at his peanut-sized-penis, throws away his cum-stained pantyliners, realises his existence has spiralled disastrously out of control, shaves off that stupid thing he thinks looks like ladies hair, embraces baldness, deletes his Era / BSky / Discord / Tor-Browser-Underground-Loli accounts and actually takes one small, small, small step for the better.

Go for a run. Apply for jobs. Re-enter college. Sell that Gundam junk on eBay. Anything. Do any-freakin'-thing.

Because seeing your daily, years-long routine of posting-porn-begging-for-money-wanting-to-die is just plain tragic Melody.

Be the change you wanna see, Shredder. Be the change you want to see.

They will never change because they have zero incentive to. If their parents gave them an ultimatum of get a job or get the fuck out they might go through the process of getting their shit together. When your back is against the wall that's when you either change or truly give up

This. 

One of Malds biggest problems is that they have enabling parents. Their parents have done Malds no good enabling them to this extent. They should have told Malds to get up, get a job, or face eviction. I've seen from personal experience that the prospect of homelessness is a great motivator to get people to shape up. My grandparents did this to my uncle when he got too comfortable lazying about at their home. They told him to get a job or he gotta go. 5 years after that ultimatum, my uncle was employed earning good money and owned his own home.

Not to linger on the political and war stuff, but it's seriously fucking creepy and insane how Ree unironically downplays and silences criticism of ISIS and Hamas.

Like, just by reading that statement, one would say aloud "Ha, Resetera will ban your ass for simply asking what's the problem with watching Bill Burr comedies, there's no way they'll actually have anyone there downplaying frigging ISIS and Hamas. There the kings of getting rid of anyone of downplays anything, so you don't have to worry about that!"

But yes, yes they will. Threadbans admistered for anyone mentioning Hamas is bad.

It's very fascinating how low they continue to go.

Can see why it’s an echo chamber, they ban anyone offering even the slightest pushback. Wait until they find out Israel has components in their iPhones and PS5s

This NYT article (https://www.nytimes.com/2024/09/18/world/middleeast/israel-exploding-pagers-hezbollah.html) is the first place I heard that 70,000 Israelis have been displaced due to Hezbollah fuckery. But that never is brought up.

On Era, the only allowable answers to the question "why would Israel do this?" are:

• "because they hate black and brown people" (???)
  
• "because they are anti-life"  
  
• or whatever pat allusion to innate, contextless evil you can muster.
  

But if you posted that tens of thousands of Israelis have been displaced due to fighting with Hezbollah, and that the pagers are a response to that, you'd be immediately banned for for minimizing terrorism. You don't even have to condone it...simply acknowledging that things happen for reasons is a bridge too far.

This kind of allowable answer stuff is bleeding out all over the forum. The Megyn Kelly N-Word thread was similar: any post other than "this dude planfully and knowingly said the n-bomb on Megyn Kelly" was banned.  

Give it a few weeks and they'll be banning posters who say that JD Vance didn't fuck a couch.

bemji please lock this thread when it hits 2077 pages because that number is very triggering to me, the way it represents such a problematic media franchise 

[Boredfrom]

There are literally tens of thousands of indies using game mechanics and genres that Nintendo pioneered, and only one of them is getting sued. Spend some time thinking about why.

 

Is not as cut and dry as you think. 

You guys complain about Sonyponies but everyone turns corpo when is about Nintendo in that forum.

The cynical dude inside me tells me this has more to do with Nintendo going full Nuclear and wanting to send a message about others thinking about doing a high budget monster breeder game. Given how arrogant and proud their execs can be… do you think it was not humiliating for them all the Palworld episode? If they wanted just to fuck them normally they wouldn’t decided to go about patents. This is the company that kills emulators and rom sites because they want to control it (even if they pull almost nothing in their shitty online emulator). 

They just want to send a message to other companies that see the Palworld success and say “not even try it, fuckers”. How is that not a corpo hellscape dick move, Nepenthe?

honestly think it's kindof weird to seem so invested in talking about this games failure - a game which is/was brigaded by chuds as the epitome of "go woke go broke" - when you've got a Stellar Blade avatar and was very active in threads for that game

I mean maybe it's just me but it definitely gives off weird vibes

What a little pussy.

Imagine being so pressed by someone having a Stellar Blade avatar that you think it's "evidence" to think they're some super chud preying on Concord's downfall, the game that hilarious bombed entirely on its own and didn't need some super chud brigade to sabotage it.

Well since we're imagining things over user avatars and such, I bet they probably pictured something like Eve from stellar blade booty bumping the last remaining ugly Concord character off a cliff, ass she laughs about it. That damn stellar blade chick and her chud double agents sabotaged queer inclusivity!

Getting into the history of Lebanon, even recent history, is a can of worms. Everything has to be black and white to these guys. When you read accounts of ordinary people in Lebanon suffering under Hezbollah. Ordinary people in Iran’s whose government robs them to fuel religious wars with proxies like Hezbollah. You wonder what kind of mindset a daft American has thinking they’re the good guys. It’s the point where anything opposing a nebulous definition of zionist is unquestionably the good guy. There’s literally a trend on TikTok where people react to AI translations of Hitler’s speeches. But you’re a Nazi if you don’t watch Agatha marvel shit I’m not looking up the title.

[DavidCroquet]

I think it has less to do with budgets or profile or anything, and more to do with the visual design language.

These Pals don’t look like wish.com pokemon, many of them seem like the genuine article. I think THAT is what got nintendo to pay attention…there’s no end of monster catching games, some pretty successful (or were, anyway, like yokai) but none of them look like a capital-P Pokemon game the way palworld does.

Nintendo going for patents suggests to me that they just picked the most fruitful angle from the litigation buffet.

My uneducated take, anyway.

https://www.resetera.com/threads/i-dont-know-if-its-worth-it-anymore.985251/

So here I am, almost out of money, stuff to pay off, no job, and honestly just considering just giving up, all the result of my dumb arrogance in myself.

I got laid off at the start of the year, and when I got on unemployment, I got into a program about starting a business, I got the idea that, I would finally try to make a game, at least as much as one person could. And in earnest? It wasn't even going bad, I even got good impressions from the demos I produced from it, but ultimately... I needed more time and the program didn't afford unlimited time.

I had also, in my optimism in believing I would get it done in time, paid for stuff, I shouldn't have.

So, I decided to bite the bullet, admit I couldn't get it done in time, and in early August, started applying for jobs.

After now almost 2 months, I have applied for nearly 90 jobs and the response has been to basically: "Fuck off".

Some might remember me making a thread about getting into the Gaming Industry in a Junior level role, while yes, many of the jobs I did apply for where in such positions, I also applied for many that were just general Tech Industry jobs. Ones that fit my College degree and Programming know-how. Even those have been flunks and the best one I could potentially get basically told me: "We will at least glance at your resume in 6 - 8 weeks." Unfortunately, that wasn't at the start of August, so I am not even potentially close to that one.

So i thought, if I could just you know, maybe hold out, so I decided to open up Art Commissions. At least something, to get some money to help pay for stuff and wait to see about the jobs I applied for.

After all, I've done art for years now, while I'm not some AAA Artist, I am pretty decent and always improving. Since I hadn't done Art Commissions before, I decided to keep the price relatively low at $30 (which for anyone who isn't aware is quite on the low end), and you get a 3/4th body fully rendered piece of art. Even with the support of artists friends who are much bigger than I am, we couldn't get anymore to commission to me. So in the end, I only got 1 commission, from someone who is already a fairly long time good friend.

I don't drive, I am deathly afraid of being put behind the wheel of a car and so if I did get a retail job, I would be spending a lot of money every single day just getting to and from work. Hence why I was trying to go for Remote Work, after all, my last job went fully Remote during the Pandemic and that really helped me out.

So now...

I'm almost out of money.

No one wants to hire me.

No one wants to commission me.

I have stuff that needs to get paid off.

I am stressed out of my goddamn mind and I don't see any sign of hope. At this point, I don't see any reason why I shouldn't just go walk into traffic or something, I have been so thoroughly rejected by everything. And this is all my fault. When I lost my job originally back in January, I should have just tried for a job right there and then, I had the money at the time to not worry for a good long while... But that's what I did, I was stupid and now I'm paying the price.

With this attitude no one will hire you  

Skip all the HR stuff and get in touch with a local business owner or lead engineer or whatever. Simply ask them one of these things:
"How can I make you happy?"
"What is your biggest challenge?"
"What would you like to do in half the time?"

There is always a problem that they're struggling with and no one in the existing machine is able to fix, wants to do or dares to tackle.
Like having to manually copy paste shit into the CRM from a spreadsheet or updating some legacy system built by someone who retired years ago.

Fix that, you've got a business.

[Ethan]

It's the constant use of hyperboles that always gets me. It can never just be "Quite the reckless op that should not have been authorized". No, it has to be "the most cruel and evil terrorist attack by the fascistest country in a century". And even if you completely agree with them, but show some restreint, you get quoted with a "you better add some epithets you fascist "

Anyway it sounds like project: Collateral Damage has been a runaway success.

Do they know Hezbollah and Hamas have indiscriminately been lobbing rockets at Israel for years? We can't even call that collateral when you're not even aiming.

Germany owes Palestine and the region reparations for the hell their actions have unleashed over there for 75+ years.

 Thats's a new one...

They also refuse to acknowledge the atrocities committed by these terrorist groups, for example in July of this year: 


https://www.timesofisrael.com/11-killed-mostly-children-dozens-more-hurt-as-rocket-hits-soccer-field-in-majdal-shams/amp/

At least 12 children were killed Saturday, and dozens more people were wounded, when a rocket fired from Lebanon hit a soccer field in the northern Druze town of Majdal Shams in the Golan Heights. It was the single deadliest Hezbollah attack on northern Israel since fighting there began in October.

Residents and first responders described scenes of bloody carnage on the pitch. Though a warning siren had sounded, it was too short an alert for the victims, who were unable to flee in time. The IDF said late Saturday that all 12 fatalities were aged 10-20.

Why do they think actions like this will go unanswered?

Edit: if I am searching correctly they didn’t even have a topic about this. Weird huh?

Of course they did. Palestinians and Lebanese and all other Islamic Extremists are perfect angels that can do no wrong.

It was actually a kind of hilarious conversation.

"Hezbollah denied it, so it must mean the IDF is responsible."

"...why would Israel blow up their own people?"

"Um...maybe an iron dome issue...and maybe uh...Israel doesn't count these people as citizens due to not being jews...I mean, let's disregard the fact that Israel has vowed to avenge the victims...anyway nuances are hard, lets move on."
