And that's fine, different strokes and all. I personally find it highly goddamn hilarious and enjoy playing it with my gaming group. I just think it's a little disingenuous to say "palworld devs did nothing to prevent this, sad" when the whole original concept was basically designed around parodying Pokémon. They knew what they were doing.

That was me playing MGSV. I'd stealth around for all of like two minutes before somebody does a ❗

At which point my concept of "stealth" shifts to "dead men call no reinforcements"

The whole game was intended from the very beginning to thumb their nose at Nintendo, just so happens that it got really popular and sold a ton of copies because it isn't difficult to make a better Pokémon game than The Pokémon Company does, even when the entire game in question is a shitpost.

John Carmack is human intelligence

[X] Doubt

John Carmack is many things, but I have my doubts about whether human is one of them. At minimum, he's some kind of alien. Most days I lean more toward incognito archdevil of the plane of knowledge. I've heard someone accuse him of being God, or at least standing in for him on Wednesdays.

Interesting... The Wikipedia page for Crazy Taxi talks about their lawsuit with Simpsons Road Rage in 2001, for using the overhead arrow among other complaints. But makes no mention at all of Midnight Club, who by 2005 when I got Midnight Club 3 DUB Edition was using that same overhead arrow for in-race directions. I don't see screenshots of Midnight Club 1 or 2 having the arrow but I can guarantee from personal experience that MC3:DUB did have them. I wonder what happened in those four years that made Rockstar not afraid to use that mechanic, especially as this section on the Crazy Taxi page states

The case, Sega of America, Inc. v. Fox Interactive, et al., was settled in private for an unknown amount. The 138 patent is considered to be one of the most important patents in video game development.

Screensaver? I rigged up Wallpaper Engine just to make that my actual desktop background.

I'm a technically savvy but new to Linux user who installed Mint as my primary OS about a month ago. So far I've used Flatpaks and AppImages without any issue and haven't come across snaps. Would you explain the differences and why I would care about one over another?

To be fair, most of the CIA was on an awful lot of LSD around that time.

Was that the Jones Soda one? Honestly that's not even the weirdest flavor they have, that's just kind of what they do.

I feel like that might be difficult to do without just falling into Jupiter, but I am no rocket scientist.

The wizards hunted dragons to extinction because their wings made good spell components and they want to dodge responsibility for it.

Its ugly, but it's true.
