Nintendo and The Pokémon Company filed a lawsuit against Pocketpair in Japan last year, alleging that Palworld infringes on three patents that are related to monster catching gameplay, including summoning Pals by throwing Pal Spheres, and using Pals as vehicles like gliders.

Indication of how protective vs aggressive Nintendo uses it’s patents.

How similar vs novel do you feel pal world is to Pokemon?

Wikipedia says Digimon release 1997, Pokemon 1996.

Less distance transporting is a positive side-effect of buying [alternative products] locally.

Is that why he was called OJ Simpson?

Great to see the migration investment, and to this extent.

The article feels very unfocused, light on content, doesn’t it?

If I got it right, they’re answering the why with

• it’s social before gameplay

I’m not sure the other points were about the why

• it’s a platform of experiences
• it’s easy to switch between games compared to their cartridge renting youth
• bad graphics and predatory monetization are no hindrance
• it’s trend focused

Don’t tell me after 14 paragraphs in two scroll pages! They talk about manipulative monetization, and then do this. At least make it obvious at the top.

Thanks for including the rest of the content here.

They didn’t really disclose much. “We saw suspicious activity” isn’t saying much.

This is big in terms of publicity. That may have even more value than the operative impact.

Maybe I would

1. Create a file called pdfs.html
2. Add embedded PDFs

   <embed src="pdf1.pdf"></embed>
   <embed src="pdf2.pdf"></embed>
   <embed src="pdf3.pdf"></embed>
   

3. Maybe give it a container div with display grid for min size and useful layout
4. Open the HTML file in my webbrowser Firefox

To generate the embed codes for every PDF file in a folder I would use my command line shell Nushell, which generates the embeds for all files for me.

ls *.pdf | each {|x| $'<embed src="($x.name)"></embed>'} | str join

Why would I add a line break when I don’t want or need a line break? It’s a list item, not a text paragraph.

I define the layout and spacing in CSS for the li element.

I don’t think I’ve ever noticed this as prevalent or common. If at all then as a strange outlier.

If it’s a list item with line breaks, sure. But the linked diff adds it at the end of the li with no content following. And it does so on the previous li. Leading to a line diff on a to this unrelated item.

Diff of the new terms

They add a <br> inside the <li>? wth

Messy layouting

I’ve always been surprised by cost numbers mentioned in services and donation requests.

I run my own cheap server which has game servers running in the past, and some other services. I’ve not run any busy services though or fediverse content so I never felt like I could make a reasonable assessment. Just be surprised.

However U.S. law puts the copyright in the hands of the creator of it, NOT Reddit.

Users give Reddit a license to handle and publish the comments under their terms. I don’t remember the specific terms. It may allow Reddit to pursue this, specifically when the content is being consumed from Reddit.

Given uBlock Origin and Firefox native privacy functionality, what do you install and use Privacy Badger for? Isn’t there nothing left for it to do?

You title them ports or remakes - do these all require the original game asset files?

When I read remake, I thought they’d be independent games, inspired by or replicating the originals.

Is it mixed? That info would be helpful for a list and an overview. For most, I wouldn’t have any assets.

My local game store had Starflight for Sega Genesis for $80 in 1991 when I was just out of high school working minimum wage at an ice cream parlor in Pismo Beach and I found a way to make it happen.

What is 80$ in 1991 worth today? calculateme says 190$ adjusted for inflation (in 2025).

What about the minimum wage? dol.gov says $4.25, or $10.08 adjusted for inflation. Since 2009 it’s $7.25.

7.25/10.08 = 0,72 or 10.08/7.25 = ~1,40

80/60 = 1.33

So we have a decrease in minimum wage by 30%, but an increase of product price by 30%.

Is this correct? Does that make it 60% more expensive than his personal analogy from 1991?

Man, the two-sided percent reference point is confusing.

Both are valid considerations, but I find the large shift to time spent on social media apps a much more compelling argument.

Indie games are part of the industry too, so I don’t think they’d be losses in accumulated industry revenue. The small and niche indies probably don’t have much of an impact on the market as a whole.

I also think the big titles largely marketed towards the general people and casual gamer. And I have to assume that still works the same way. They buy the popular marketed title, or on their console digital store. They don’t care as much about classics or indies [outside of the store’s popular titles].

You could say “batteries included… in the article”

I don’t see how that defies Trump. Trump is and was not part of negotiations or deals between these parties.
