It was a live stream I was doing with Owncast. Definitely enjoying it. Thank you!
Welp, I had no plans of buying Palworld. I've been playing Enshrouded instead. But I'll be picking it up now. Screw you Nintendo and your anticompetitive ways.
I LOVE this bit:
"will stop measuring its success in new subscribers, but in growth byr egional revenue."
We're hitting our self defined goals JUST fine guys!
A lot of GOP voters don't really care about facts sadly. I've talked to some that insist Jan 6th wasn't an issue.
Pays $40 billion to allow people to be shadow toxic. What an amazing innovator in our midsts. We're all just so jealous we wish we could be so genius ...
Fucking moron.
Before anyone asks, here it is:

If anyone checked the filing presentation they literally put questions marks for their profitability. It was HILLARIOUS.
If scale is no longer an issue, why can't Epic create a store with similar functionality to steam? Because it's not about that. It's about Tim not being able to pocket as much.
We can thank US Government for FORCING these companies to allow you to freeze your credit report. It used to be a state by state thing, else you had to pay them like $10 to freeze and unfreeze, unless you had PROOF that your identity was stolen.
Especially considering Equifax had that little "oopsy" (they already leaked all your personal info) 7 years ago, you should absolutely 100% freeze your credit report.
YES you have to unfreeze it when you're needed to check your credit, but how often does that happen?
Honestly it's a great excuse to turn down a pushy salesman as well. "Well I really wanna buy this car, but I have to unfreeze my credit report first and my info is at home, so I'll be back."
And do you REALLY need that 10th credit card for get that $10 coupon for Khols? Nah.
It's a bit of work to set up, but once you set it up don't forget you get a free credit report yearly from each bureau. So space them out every 4 months and then check them yearly.
"Reddit has given access to YOUR conversations and posts to AI companies.". FTFY
These were created by people, for peoole, and I will ALWAYS disagree that this data is Reddit's or any other platforms.
Don't forget your direct messages aren't end to end encrypted on Reddit, so now AI will be trained on your craziest "private" conversations
Pretty sure it's denying coup attempts.
While I don't know Japanese law, and folks are right in US law about prior art, I think everyone is missing the point.
Companies like Nintendo don't have to actually win. They probably created this patent as a throw away to force Pocketpair to waste money fighting it. It costs tons of money to hire an attorney, work through the process, etc. It takes YEARS.
Nintendo probably wants to waste Pocketpair's time and money OR they're trying to get them to just settle and give Nintendo a cut of the profits.
That's how big tech works with tons of patents and how patent trolls keep leeching off society. I have a patent for a button, you have a phone you're making. I say give me 1% of your profit. What's 1% to you? You agree, we don't go to court and the next person that does it I do the same thing, but now I show them how many people agreed and that person is scared and think I have a legit case.
This shit is constantly happening in the background nonstop.
Patent law, copyright law, they are fundamentally broken. But they won't get fixed until something BIG happens.
Nintendo is and always has been a bully. This is just another instance of it.
