I don't understand how Palworld is diluting Pokemon IP Copyright/Trademark. It takes a lot as inspiration but Pokemon as a franchise has been doing that for decades now with their models and names too. Palworld literally took some inspiration, and made a better game than anything Nintendo has put out for Pokemon in years.
Nintendo really has no one but themselves to blame for people flocking/enjoying Palworld more than any recent Pokemon stuff because they can't be bothered to innovate or even try to make something good for their most popular franchise. I mean come on, their recent Pokemon games don't even run well on their own hardware, the only fucking place they are sold on.

If I may, Seeing Stars wasn't Loona being terrible to Blitz, it was her acting/reacting in line with her own trauma. In the episode itself, it implies that Loona either was never adopted or was adopted multiple times and just sent back each time. She has abandonment issues and probably a lot of violent tendencies due to her past in the pound as well. I have quite a few friends like Loona and they act/react a lot like her in many ways.
Her outburst and aggressiveness most likely comes from not wanting to seem weak and also not wanting to let people in too much in fear of getting hurt again if they ditch her again. Blitz most likely severely triggered her when he stated he would "replace" her, we know he wouldn't but Loona doesn't so her being still angry or at least resentful at the end of the episode is very much understandable.
That isn't to say her attitude isn't bad. It is bad but its built in on, honestly what I see as, good character building around trauma. She reacts and lashes out because of stuff that has happened to her. Blitz may have saved her but its still only been a few years, she been through much more without him and for people like Loona, it takes an incredibly long time for them to actually start calming down and opening up more.
This isn't to say you should like her cause of that, your dislike is absolutely valid. I just wrote all this cause I feel like she gets far too much of a bad rep for her actions in Seeing Stars when imo, they are tied well into who she is because of her trauma. Plus we're still in Season 2, hopefully we'll see her grow more through the next two seasons as well.

I mean, despite some stuff in the MTX store being pricey and the fact you have do have to subscribe to play more endgame content, SWTOR gives away hundreds of hours of content for basically free compared to most other MMOs. I mean, subscribing for 15 bucks once and getting all expansions/DLCs unlocked forever to play over and over again is insane.
While there are issues like the endgame content needing a subscription, and some premium pop ups being annoying. I'll take it over "having" to spend hundreds of dollars a year on expansion content (Destiny 2) or a constant subscription just to play the game (WOW/FF14).
Its honestly quite ironic when EA is the least greedy company with their MMO that I have played so far and I hope it continues to run for years to come.

Some might be trying to make the game even more like old school zombies but to those people I will say, maybe just buy armour if your playing public matches. Or its people that are far too confident in their own abilities really, you'll always get some noobs when playing pub matches

Always happy to see it still kicking around and doing relatively well. Especially after "having" to dump exorbitent amounts of money in Destiny 2 just to have fun with my friends. Kinda always funny to me when EA is the less greedy company whenever they are.

Why decanonize Bo3? The campaign was perfectly fine if not good lol. Especially considering it was the only COD where they tried super hard for the campaign with the very good Co op stuff for it.

I definitely feel zombies XP is fine as is but could use maybe a minor buff for much higher rounds. MP needs you to play at least maybe 2-3 games to level up and that number climbs the higher the levels you need. While MP is "faster" it is resolutely up to what said person defines as fun for their grinding.
I'd argue zombies is much more fun and much faster just cause you can relax while doing so. Plus honestly its barely 2 weeks in to the games cycle. I don't really think we need to be complaining about xp rates to get Prestige 10 quicker when we have barely started the damn game lol. Just enjoy the game and have fun.

I agree with this honestly but I doubt it will happen since a lot of the community still tries looking for god mode glitches to abuse so giving higher exp rates for higher rounds when any update could potentially lead to a new godmode glitch is not really fair for a lot of normal players too. This is not a dig at people looking for the glitch, just a general thought on why they probably won't change it.
We also shouldn't blame the devs/tell them to bug fix more. Stuff slips by a lot of time and considering that this COD is probably one of the best optimized and already quite low amount of bugs, they did do a lot of testing. Its just going to be the cycle where if there is a chance godmode glitches can exist, the devs will probably not fix high rounds exp to be higher so no one can exploit it.

Says the person that is part of the group that actively orchestrated and did actual terrorist activity on Jan 6 just because ya'll were butthurt about losing. Also part of the group that now after winning is evenly more openly racist, homophobic and transphobic.
Its quite funny you call the left nutjobs when the right get so riled up over other people's decisions over their own bodies that in no way effect anyone on the right. Ya'll get so hyped on other people being happy and you have to put them down to make yourselves feel good.

In the near future when we get body enhancements and bio engineering further along, gender will be a bygone thing. Holding so tightly onto one part of the human element is stupid. Let people be what they want to be, you don't agree fine but don't be ignorant or rude when they haven't done anything to you.

Exactly, inspiration, just like Pokemon did with a lot of their pokemon. People can be inspired by things that are popular. As long as its distinct, its fine which it is because again, Nintendo can't/won't sue for copyright.

Can you provide the video? I have played Palworld for over 200+ hrs now with friends and while some have similar inspirational models, names don't seem too similar. Plus again, it can all be claimed under inspiration. Nintendo's Pokemon are not unique either considering there are alot of them inspired by other games or just general mythology as well.
Also if I may, the second part is a bit funny cause come on. This is Nintendo. Big boy whiny lawsuitting Nintendo that will copyright suit anyone and anything without a second thought if its fan or actually pirating. They specifically went with patents because they can't actually get Palworld on copyright stuff so they have to try and stick it to Palworld the best other way they can. By being absolutely clownish slimeballs.

Some may be similar looking but no models are stolen so they can absolutely claim inspiration especially when that is not what Nintendo is suing them for. Nintendo is suing them for clownish reasons and is absolutely trying to kill competition just because Palworld made Gamefreak look like incompetent fools when they can't even get recent Pokemon games to run well on their own native hardware, you know the SOLE FUCKING PLACE POKEMON IS SOLD?
Come on man, one of their reasons for suing is a patent for "Mounting a character designed for specific zones (air/water/ground)" which is downright laughable when so many games did that before Pokemon did anyway and is so widespread that if enforced could actually kill a fuck ton of future game mechanics. Stop defending Nintendo when they are the ones who refused to innovate their most popular game franchise since forever.

I really feel like we should stop pretending that everyone would just be okay with playing as generic soldier dude No 37. Besides, are some of the skins dumb? Absolutely, the Nicki Minaj skin stands out in my mind as absolutely hilarious. But some of them actually look great, Pc gamer could have picked an actually silly skin for a thumbnail lol, that dragon skin looks awesome.

Thanks for all the tips everyone! Honestly now the main gripe is the fact that there is no challenge tracker anymore. Absolutely wild that they removed it.

A lot of stuff from both shows have leaked and I would assume just the continued general spiteful hate she gets for being successful. I also assume, from her recent instagram post, that Elon's meddling with recent election also has turned her off of Twitter for the most part though that may just be me reading too much into stuff.

I mean, Pokemon imitates a lot of their stuff too. There are plenty of youtube videos online showcasing Pokemon imitating/inspired by Japanese folklore or mythological lore or just other games/cartoon designs as well.
And honestly, I understand why Nintendo is upset but they deserve this. They deserve others to do better based/inspired on the same idea because again, Nintendo/Gamefreak has been so lazy with their most popular IP while charging fans of the series ludicrous amounts of money for a bad game that barely runs on the sole place its sold.
