Prepare to have your ask box spammed!

What are some of your favorite Mulder headcanons?

Shields are...down! Let the spam rain :)

Mulder headcanons! Here we go! Some are extremely surface level and some are weirdly deep, so this might be a bit of a rollercoaster.

The bedroom in Mulder's apartment is used as essentially a dumping ground/boxroom/shed up until S6 because when he first moved out of his parents house he took literally EVERYTHING that belonged to him that he wanted to keep. He had zero intention of going back there to live on a long-term basis, and between going to Oxford and then going straight into the FBI, he never had to. So he has almost everything that he owns in that apartment (excluding what's in the basement office), and that's why he needs a box room to keep the place vaguely liveably tidy.

The reason he could sacrifice the bedroom to this so easily is because ever since Samantha's abduction, he's found that he has fewer flashback nightmares about it when he's not sleeping in a bed. This is specifically because I prefer the original abduction story he used in the Pilot what randomly got changed in S2.

He didn't have any partners on the X-Files before Scully (I Do No See Diana), and so when he felt like he needed to discuss a case with someone, he recorded himself presenting to a camera and then reviewed the tapes to make more sense of his ideas. (I have explored this in a fic!)

I think his fear of fire as canonised in Fire is very real, he just learns to control it more as the series goes on

He's asexual. To me 😌 I present the GIFs below (from this set of mine) as evidence:

Also in this scene he says that he hardly ever drinks and I believe that. We hardly see him drinking alcohol on screen as far as I remember. Also in the bar scene in FTF, I don't know how many shots of whatever $86 would get you, but he is GONE. He would never normally monologue like that to a random stranger. Also, he fully gives the wrong address for either himself or Scully when he gets in the cab. He may have a high alcohol tolerance, but he hardly ever uses it.

This is more of an AU maybe, but I love the idea of him being a trans guy. It adds so much to his character and viewing the series through that lens gives meaning to a lot of throwaway remarks, particularly ones like in Tooms when he says he even asked his parents to call him Mulder (and they notably didn't!). There are many good fics about this in the Trans Mulder Literary Universe AO3 collection!

This is more about other people thinking about Mulder but I definitely think that Frohike and to an extent Skinner see Mulder as a surrogate son.

When Mulder gets hold of the modern version of PowerPoint OH BOY. Scully regrets the Microsoft subscription immediately. There is so much word art. He tries to build every entry and exit effect into every slideshow. He uses the origami bird transition and the turning-to-dust transition and all the other cheesy ones. None of his documents are under 100MB between either amount of slides or amount of pictures. His hard drive is full almost immediately because he tries to turn every case file into a presentation. And Scully sits through all of them, because she loves him.

Like me, he celebrates the New Year rather than Christmas or another religious holiday in that season (though I do love the popular Jewish!Mulder headcanon). It's still a secular holiday, he just has a few of his own traditions that he likes to observe every year. I have a fic planned where he shares them with Scully which I hope to write and share this year :)

That's all that come to me at the moment...though if any more turn up I shall let you know :) Thank you for this ask, I had a lot of fun thinking about these! Maybe more of them will be turned into fic, who knows!

[ad_1] I can't blame you if you've been spending more time outside lately instead of reading gadget reviews. Spring has sprung, at least for us at Engadget HQ in the US, and there's a lot of touching grass going on amongst our staff. Still, if you've missed any of our reviews over the last two weeks, this condensed list has everything you need to catch up quickly.Surface Pro (12-inch)MicrosoftThe Surface Pro is light, thin and can handle basic work just fine. It's also as cute as a button, so you probably won't mind that it has sub-par performance and a lesser screen than the 13-inch model. ProsLightweight and thin designRelatively low starting price16GB of RAM standardConsSlow processorKeyboard is an extra $150Screen could be betterNo Surface Connect port$800 at MicrosoftFor basic computing in a highly portable device, the 12-inch Surface Pro does just fine. Senior reviews reporter Devindra Hardawar argued that you won't want this device for it's power anyway, and you'll probably be able to overlook its lower-spec display too. "You're not buying a tiny laptop for speed, you're buying it because it's cute and super portable," he said. "And in that respect, the 12-inch Surface Pro succeeds."Rivian R1S Gen 2EngadgetFor those looking for an outdoorsy EV with three rows and room for your entire family, Rivian's R1S Gen 2 is unquestionably a top contender.  ProsSerious top-end range and performanceSlick interiorContemporary rugged designFrequent OTA updatesNew hands-free highway assistConsExpensive, particularly for tri- or upcoming quad-motor modelsCurrently no way to mirror texts on infotainmentPhysical key fob costs extraStarts at $75,900, $105,900 as tested at RivianRivian has become a popular option for EV shoppers looking for either a truck or a three-row SUV. Senior reviews reporter Sam Rutherford recently spent some time behind the wheel of the company's second-generation R1S and came away impressed. "Its size may be imposing, but it certainly delivers on the look and feel of a car that's just as happy on asphalt as it is on unpaved trails," he wrote. "The only thing that might give me pause is that for people who aren't interested in off-roading, alternatives like the Kia EV9 offer similar passenger capacity for a much lower starting price."Canon Powershot V1CanonCanon’s PowerShot V1 is a versatile hybrid camera with excellent video and image quality thanks to the unusually large sensor. ProsFast shooting speedsGreat image quality even in low light10-bit log 4K videoOptical stabilizationBuilt-in fan to stop overheatingConsRolling shutterDisplay is a bit dimPlain looksNo built-in flash$899 at AmazonCompact cameras are making a comeback. Canon's Powershot V1 may be designed for vlogging, but reporter Steve Dent discovered its also great for stills. "The problem is that it’s still primarily a vlogging camera and a lot of content creators have abandoned this type of compact model in favor of the Osmo Pocket 3," he explained. "At the end of the day, the PowerShot V1 is bound to be a hit because it delivers when it comes to video and photo quality."Alienware AW2725QAlienware / EngadgetAt $900, the Alienware AW2725Q is one of the best OLED gaming monitors you can buy right now. It offers tremendous image quality and motion clarity, alongside excellent HDR performance.

Senior reporter Igor Bonifacic particularly noted the display's overall image quality and motion clarity, but there's a lot to like here. "The best thing I can say about the Alienware AW2725Q is that I'm not looking forward to sending it back," he said. "It is an amazing display that has made one of my favorite hobbies more enjoyable."Roku Streaming Stick PlusRoku/EngadgetRoku’s new Streaming Stick Plus requires no wall outlet, making it ideal for unpredictable hotel TV situations and homes where plugs are scarce. ProsUses your TV’s USB port for power instead of a wall adapterDecent speed for a $40 deviceConsNo extended Wi-Fi rangeNot as fast as most smart TVs or pricier streaming devices$40 at AmazonCheap TV streaming devices are typically easy to recommend, and the fact that Roku's new Streaming Stick Plus draws power from the TV is icing on the cake. "This is also the stick I want to take with me on my next trip," senior buying advice reporter Amy Skorheim wrote. "I can plug it in at the Airbnb and, instead of logging in to whatever random apps the TV happens to have, I can watch more Doctor Who. I won’t have to worry about where the nearest outlet is and I’ll be spared the effort of typing in my stupidly long Disney+ password."Framework Laptop 13 (2025)Framework/EngadgetThe upgraded AMD mainboard is faster than its predecessor but not enough to be earth-shattering. ProsBuying one component is cheaper than a whole laptopEasy to installConsFan is still pretty noisyPrice is starting to climb$899 at FrameworkFramework offers a way for you to easily upgrade your laptop as needed, which means you can swap out the mainboard for a new one when the company makes them available. However, the upgrade might not always be worth it, even if it is easy, but Framework's overall premise still shows promise. "But while it may not have the razzle or dazzle, it does have the staying power, and that’s going to be a bigger asset in the next few years," senior editor Daniel Cooper argued. "If you’re the sort of person who would buy a Lenovo Thinkpad and run it until it falls apart, then this is a better option."Light Phone IIILightThe Light Phone III is a well-designed device that can help you break your smartphone addiction, but it makes some major compromises. ProsA truly distraction-free experienceGreat call qualityTouchscreen is clear and responsiveIncludes a useful set of built-in toolsConsNo autocorrect makes texting a choreMusic player is extremely limitedThere’s a lot of friction switching to a minimalist phoneExpensive$599 at LightThe Light Phone III seeks to offer a distraction-free smartphone existence, but as deputy news editor Nathan Ingraham found, the lack of polish in the company's bare-bones UI is a hindrance. "I can blame the music player or lack of autocorrect, but ultimately I was not ready for how radically different the Light Phone III experience is," he admitted. "But, for a few weeks, I left my iPhone at home when I left the house as much as possible and there was something freeing about the complete lack of notifications and general siren-call for attention that I usually deal with."Doom: The Dark Ages, Despelote and Suborbital SalvageFor all the gamers, we've published reviews of several titles over the last two weeks. Most recently, senior editor Jessica Conditt spent some time with Doom: The Dark Ages, where she noted the "blood-soaked and beautiful" game offered "a well-rounded romp through the bowels of hell." She also opined on Despelote, a game that explores memories, magic moments and being a kid. And for the Playdate fans, weekend editor Cheyenne Macdonald found out what it's like to have a cat serve as your very opinionated supervisor in Suborbital Salvage. [ad_2] Source link

A Day in the Life of a Full-Stack Web Developer: Challenges and Rewards

In the rapidly evolving digital landscape, the role of a Full-Stack Web Developer is one of the most dynamic and rewarding careers available today. But what does a typical day really look like for someone juggling both the front-end and back-end of web development? Let’s take a closer, more human look into a day in the life of a Full-Stack Web Developer, exploring the challenges they face and the sense of accomplishment they gain from creating the digital experiences we all rely on.

Morning: Planning, Prioritizing, and Caffeine

Like most professionals, a Full-Stack Web Developer starts their day with a strong cup of coffee and a quick look at emails, team chats (usually on Slack or Microsoft Teams), and any client updates. Morning stand-ups or scrum meetings are common if they’re working in an Agile environment. These meetings help developers align with the team, plan their day, and address any blockers.

Typical morning tasks may include:

Reviewing tickets or tasks on tools like Jira, Trello, or Asana

Syncing with UI/UX designers on any new design elements

Checking version control systems like GitHub for new pull requests or code reviews

Updating or debugging code from the previous day

These early hours are critical for organizing the rest of the day. For a Full-Stack Web Developer, clear planning can make the difference between a productive day and one filled with endless fixes and context-switching.

Midday: Deep Work and Problem Solving

Once the planning is done, the real work begins. This is where a Full-Stack Web Developer wears both hats—handling the user-facing front end and the powerful logic-driven back end.

Front-End Responsibilities:

Writing or updating HTML, CSS, and JavaScript for UI features

Making the interface responsive across devices

Testing UI components for compatibility and accessibility

Working with frameworks like React, Angular, or Vue.js

Back-End Responsibilities:

Writing server-side logic using Node.js, Python, Ruby, or PHP

Managing databases (SQL or NoSQL like MongoDB)

Creating and testing RESTful APIs

Handling authentication and authorization systems

It’s not uncommon for a developer to be switching contexts between the front and back end several times a day. And yes, it can get exhausting. But that’s also part of what makes the role so engaging.

Afternoon: Challenges and Team Collaboration

As the day progresses, the deeper challenges surface. Bug reports from QA, database performance issues, or unexpected API failures can disrupt the workflow. This is where a Full-Stack Web Developer must put on their detective hat and troubleshoot with precision.

Common challenges include:

Debugging complex interactions between front-end and back-end code

Managing time when working across multiple projects

Keeping up with constantly changing technologies

Ensuring security and performance best practices

But developers don’t tackle these alone. The afternoon is often filled with collaboration—pair programming, code reviews, or quick brainstorming sessions. Many Full-Stack Web Developers will say that it’s the team effort and shared problem-solving that makes even the toughest challenges bearable.

Evening: Wrapping Up and Reflecting

By late afternoon or early evening, developers usually begin to wrap up tasks. They commit code, submit pull requests, and document their work. If the day went well, there’s a sense of progress. If not, tomorrow is a fresh start.

End-of-day rituals:

Updating task boards with completed tasks

Writing documentation or comments for teammates

Reflecting on what went well and what didn’t

Sometimes, squeezing in time for learning new tools or languages

Many Full-Stack Web Developers also dedicate time after work to sharpen their skills—whether it’s through online courses, reading blogs, or contributing to open-source projects.

The Rewards: Why They Keep Going

Despite the challenges, the rewards of being a Full-Stack Web Developer are genuinely fulfilling.

The biggest rewards include:

Creative Satisfaction: Seeing your code come alive and help real users is deeply satisfying.

Job Flexibility: Many roles offer remote work, freelance opportunities, or flexible hours.

High Demand: With businesses increasingly relying on web platforms, the demand for skilled developers continues to grow.

Continuous Learning: The ever-evolving tech landscape ensures you’re always learning something new.

Career Growth: The role opens doors to senior developer positions, technical leadership, or even starting your own company.

Final Thoughts

A day in the life of a Full-Stack Web Developer is far from monotonous. It’s a blend of creativity, problem-solving, teamwork, and continuous learning. Sure, there are moments of frustration—especially when bugs won’t go away or the code doesn’t behave as expected. But for those passionate about building and improving the digital world, the rewards far outweigh the challenges.

So the next time you use a sleek website or a seamless web application, remember—behind it is likely a hardworking Full-Stack Web Developer who’s spent countless hours making sure everything just works.

Which is the Best Power BI Training Institute in Marathahalli, Bangalore?

Introduction

Bangalore, the city of technology, in the midst of the ever-evolving profile of Marathahalli, there is one question that still haunts the minds of data enthusiasts: What is the top Power BI training center in this location? The answer isn't as straightforward as pointing a finger. It's about peeling the layers of training excellence, industry exposure, guidance, and career development. Let's move ahead.

Why Power BI Is a Game-Changer

Power BI is not a tool—it's a revolution in business analytics. With its photo-friendly dashboards, real-time data, and effortless integration with other Microsoft programs, it's now the ultimate go-to option for data-informed business choices across the spectrum.

The Rise in Demand for Power BI Specialists

With the need for businesses to turn data-driven, Power BI experts are in great demand. Startups to Fortune 500 organizations are looking for talent who can transform raw data into actionable insights. And that's where professional training comes into the picture.

Why Bangalore is a Hub for Tech and Data

Bangalore, better known as the "Silicon Valley of India," is a data science and technology innovation hub. It has numerous MNCs, startups, and IT parks and therefore likes to build an upskilling culture—making it fertile ground for quality Power BI training centers in Bangalore.

The best institute is not always about trendy websites or glass-and-steel buildings. Watch out for these:

Comprehensive curriculum

Case studies relevant to the industry

Hands-on sessions

Placement guidance and mentorship

Feedback from alumni

Depth of Live Projects and Curriculum

The course should be greater than surface diagrams. The leading institutes go deep into:

Data modeling

Faculty Expertise and Industry Insights

An institute is only as good as its gurus. For instructors, look for people with actual industry experience—individuals who've worked with data in the wild, not just classrooms.

Certification Guidance and Mock Exams

Microsoft certification gives weight to your resume. A good Power BI Training Institute in Bangalore will make students ready for the official exam through mocks, tips, and test strategies.

Alumni Success Stories

Success talks the loudest. Institutes that have alumni presently employed in companies like Infosys, TCS, or Flipkart clearly have a recipe for success.

Student Reviews and Ratings

Look at Google reviews, Quora discussions, and LinkedIn comments. Appreciation or criticism trends have a habit of showing the truth concealed behind advertising.

Fee Structure and Money's Worth

Price is crucial, but value is as well. Compare course material, mentorship time, and placement support before knocking the price.

Flexibility in Batches: Weekday, Weekend, Online

Professional individuals prefer weekend or evening batches. The best institutes understand this and offer flexible learning timings—both offline and online.

Title: From Data to Dashboards: Unleash Your Potential with Advanced Power BI Training Courses

In today’s fast-paced digital world, data is more than just numbers—it's a story waiting to be told. Whether you’re working in finance, marketing, HR, or IT, the ability to transform raw data into clear, interactive visualizations can be a game-changer. Enter Power BI, Microsoft’s powerful business intelligence tool that has revolutionized how organizations handle data.

But basic knowledge only scratches the surface. To truly leverage Power BI’s potential, professionals are turning to advanced Power BI training courses. These courses go beyond bar charts and pie graphs—they unlock dynamic dashboards, real-time analytics, and deep data modeling techniques that drive decision-making.

Why “Advanced” Matters More Than Ever

Sure, you can get by with a few drag-and-drop reports. But to stand out in today’s data-driven economy, you need mastery. Advanced Power BI skills aren’t just for analysts—they’re for anyone who wants to lead with insights.

Through advanced Power BI training courses, you’ll gain skills that empower you to design smarter dashboards, apply complex DAX formulas, and automate data refresh cycles.

What You’ll Learn Beyond the Basics

The curriculum in most advanced Power BI training courses covers a wide range of powerful tools and techniques. You’ll explore advanced data modeling, optimization, and DAX (Data Analysis Expressions)—the magic behind Power BI's powerful calculations. You’ll also dive into topics like row-level security, which is crucial when building reports for varied stakeholders.

Additionally, many courses teach integration with services like Azure, Power Automate, and SQL Server, elevating your capabilities from just visual reporting to full-scale business intelligence architecture. And let’s not forget—real-world case studies and hands-on projects are often a big part of the learning, ensuring you’re not just memorizing, but applying.

Who Should Take These Courses (And Why Now)?

If you're a data analyst, business intelligence developer, project manager, or even a curious entrepreneur, advanced Power BI training courses are your next step to becoming a true data leader. The demand for Power BI experts continues to rise as companies look to data for strategic decisions, trend forecasting, and operational efficiency.

Now is the perfect time to upgrade your skillset. These courses are often flexible, available online, and tailored to suit different levels of experience. So whether you're looking to impress in your current role or aiming for a promotion, this kind of training is a wise investment in your career future.

Choosing the Right Training Course

Not all courses are created equal. When searching for the best advanced Power BI training courses, look for those offering instructor-led sessions, real project work, peer discussion forums, and certification. It’s also important to ensure the syllabus aligns with your career goals—whether that’s dashboard development, data modeling, or enterprise-level deployment.

Reading reviews, exploring course previews, and checking instructor credentials can also help narrow down the best fit. The right course won’t just teach you Power BI—it will help you become a confident storyteller in the language of data.

The Laptop Quest: A Fun Adventure for Everyone

Once upon a time, there was a girl named Mia. Her laptop was ancient—it groaned like a sleepy dinosaur and took forever to load anything. “I need something that won’t make me wanna scream,” she told me (her sibling, aka the “tech person”). And so, our wild laptop hunt began!

The “Homework Hero” Laptop

Mia’s first worry: “What’s the best laptop for students?”

I said: “Students need laptops that are light (like a cloud!), last through back-to-back classes, and survive oops-I-spilled-my-soda moments.” We checked out the MacBook Air (pricey but lives longer than a cactus) and the HP Pavilion Aero (cheaper, cute, and zips through tasks). Mia whispered: “The HP won’t make my backpack feel like a brick.”

The “Future-Proof” Laptop

Mia saw ads for “top-rated laptops 2025” and panicked. “Should I wait?!”

I giggled. “2024’s laptops are already magic! The Dell XPS 13 has a screen so clear, it’s like staring at a rainbow. The Lenovo Yoga 9i can fold into a tablet—like a high-tech origami! You don’t need a time machine, Mia.” She relaxed. “Okay, no waiting. Let’s go!”

The “Wallet-Friendly” Laptop

Mia’s budget screamed: “Don’t ruin me!” So we hunted for budget-friendly laptops.

The Acer Swift 3 was the winner—under $700, handles Zoom calls like a pro, and weighs less than a chihuahua. “But what about gaming?” Mia asked. Ohhh, that’s a whole new world…

The “Gaming Beast” Battle

Mia’s boyfriend wanted a gaming laptop comparison. “Which one goes vroom vroom?!”

We tested the ASUS ROG Zephyrus (slim, glows like a spaceship) vs. the Lenovo Legion 5 (thick but runs games smoother than ice). The Zephyrus is like a race car; the Legion is a monster truck. Both play Fortnite without lagging, but the Legion costs less. Mia grinned: “No more rage-quitting!”

The “Fancy-Pants” Ultrabook

Mia’s friend Lily wanted an Ultrabook review. “Something shiny and strong!”

Ultrabooks are the celebrities of laptops—thin, gorgeous, and powerful. The Microsoft Surface Laptop 5 feels like typing on marshmallows. The MacBook Pro 14-inch is for people who edit videos while drinking matcha lattes. Mia gasped: “Lily will sell her skateboard for that MacBook!”

The “No-BS” Buying Guide

Mia was overwhelmed. “Just tell me how to choose!”

I made a laptop buying guide even a 5-year-old could get:

What’s it for? Gaming? Get a beefy GPU. For essays? Save money.

Battery life: 8 hours = decent. 12+ = mythical creature.

Weight: If it’s heavier than your pet hamster, skip it.

Keyboard test: Tap it. If it feels like typing on rocks, run.

The “Speed Test” Drama

Mia asked about laptop performance tests. “How do I know it’s fast?!”

We did this:

Open 50 TikTok tabs. If it doesn’t freeze, it’s a champ.

Play a 4K cat video. If it’s smooth, the processor’s happy.

Copy a huge file. If it’s done before you yawn, the SSD rocks.

The HP Spectre x360 aced everything. Mia did a happy dance.

The End Mia bought the Acer Swift 3 (student life = ramen budget). Her boyfriend got the Lenovo Legion. Lily’s mowing lawns for that MacBook. And me? I napped for 10 hours.

Moral of the story: Laptops are like pizza toppings—pick what you love, not what others say. And maybe bribe your tech-savvy sibling with snacks next time.

How to Rent the Perfect Tablet in Mumbai for Work, Study, or Play

In the fast-paced world of Mumbai, staying connected and productive often means having access to the right tools.

Tablets have become essential devices for work, study, and entertainment, offering portability and versatility.

If you’re looking for a cost-effective way to use a tablet without committing to a hefty purchase, renting is the perfect solution.

Here’s your comprehensive guide to finding the perfect tablets on rent in Mumbai for your needs.

1. Understand Your Purpose

Before diving into rental options, clarify why you need a tablet. Your requirements will determine the features, specifications, and duration of your rental.

For Work: Look for tablets with high processing power, stylus support, and apps compatible with your workflow. Models like the Apple iPad Pro or Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 are excellent for professionals.

For Study: Students might prioritize affordability, portability, and apps for note-taking or online classes. Consider tablets like the iPad Air or Microsoft Surface Go.

For Play: If you’re renting a tablet for entertainment, gaming, or creative projects, look for models with high-resolution displays, ample storage, and long battery life. Gaming enthusiasts might opt for tablets like the Lenovo Tab P11 Pro.

2. Research Rental Providers

Mumbai offers a plethora of rental providers, both online and offline. To ensure you get the best deal, take time to research the options.

Online Platforms: Websites like RentoMojo, Furlenco, and Cityfurnish provide detailed catalogs of available tablets, pricing plans, and rental durations.

Local Stores: Visit tech rental shops in areas like Andheri, Bandra, or Powai for hands-on assistance and instant rentals.

When choosing a provider, read reviews, check ratings, and inquire about their policies on maintenance and damage.

Not all tablets are created equal. When exploring tablets on rent in Mumbai, consider the specifications to match your intended use:

Operating System: Choose between Android, iOS, or Windows tablets based on the apps you use and your familiarity with the system.

Screen Size and Resolution: Larger screens (10–12 inches) are ideal for work or entertainment, while smaller screens are portable and sufficient for basic tasks.

Storage: Opt for at least 64GB for general use or 128GB+ for gaming or heavy-duty tasks.

Accessories: Check if the rental includes accessories like a keyboard, stylus, or protective case.

4. Check Pricing Plans

Affordability is a key advantage of renting. However, prices can vary significantly between providers. Look for rental plans that align with your budget and duration requirements.

Long-Term Rentals: Perfect for students or professionals who need a tablet for months. Monthly plans often come with discounts.

On average, renting a tablet in Mumbai can cost between ₹500 and ₹5000 per month, depending on the model and provider.

5. Inspect the Device Before Renting

Before finalizing the rental, visionIT Rent thoroughly inspect the tablet to ensure it meets your expectations.

Hardware Check: Look for physical damage, scratches, or dents.

Software Check: Test the touchscreen, camera, and essential apps. Ensure the operating system is up-to-date.

Battery Health: Verify that the battery charges properly and holds power as expected.

two of the game series listed above, Digimon and Yo-kai Watch, are owned by developers/publishers who have flirted with AI and NFTs. and if you wanna recommend World of Final Fantasy, SE's CEO shilled NFTs at one point, and now he's trying to shill AI (and it's already been used in Foamstars for the album cover artworks)

on top of that, none of the recommended alternatives play anything like Palworld. Palworld is an open world survival crafting game with monster taming elements. the only thing it has in common with the alternatives listed is that it has monsters to collect. in fact it has a lot more in common with Ark than it does with Pokemon. the majority of the alternatives listed are turn based RPGs, which ironically play a lot more like Pokemon than Palworld does. the only game that probably comes close to Palworld in terms of gameplay is Anitons... which has been abandoned after two failed Kickstarter campaigns in 2021 and 2022. The developers then decided to give monster taming games another go in the form of Wolfkins which would be smaller in scope and a lot more focused game than Anitons, which didn't work out either as game development doesn't always pan out as expected (and as you'll soon see it's actually a miracle that Craftopia and Palworld even exist to begin with), so Wolfkins has been put on an indefinite hold

(source is discord servers for Anitons and Wolfkins, Anitons also has an abandoned Twitter account)

Also, while this one screencap of Never Grave looks quite a bit like Hollow Knight, it only has surface level similarities.

Here's a video that compares the two

While Never Grave has similar music, aesthetics, enemy designs and some gameplay elements to Hollow Knight, it does a lot to differentiate itself from Hollow Knight. Maps are procedurally generated, making it more of a roguelike metroidvania, there's a town/base you can build, and the character you play as, the hat, possesses a variety of characters with different abilities.

So no, Never Grave is not a Hollow Knight clone

Also, turns out that the reason Craftopia is unfinished is bc the devs ran into budget issues and had to choose between continuing on Craftopia or start working on Palworld, which was an extremely risky but ultimately rewarding decision, as the game has sold around 20 million copies or more on Steam and has additional players on game pass. They also ran into engine issues with Craftopia. Craftopia also hasn't been abandoned, while it's been in early access for nearly 4 years, it's still getting updates. In fact, it got one just 5 days after the launch of Palworld (although the reviews def don't look good, but not everything in the game industry can be a success story)

Source can be found here.

Game Developer also has articles about Pocketpair and Palworld, including this in which it sums up how various game developers are feeling about the success of Palworld (and also mentions just how much the journey to develop Palworld feels like an episode of Looney Tunes).

Here's also another Game Developer article that talks about TPC's statement and Palworld's derivative nature.

Microsoft is working with Pocketpair to optimize the XBox version of the game as well as providing dedicated servers. With the game having sold so many copies as well as Microsoft assisting with the XBox version, I'm feeling (cautiously) optimistic that this game will be finished.

On top of that, Shuhei Yoshida, who is in charge of Sony's indie initiative, has shown interest in Palworld.

I am not going to deny that there are Pals in the game that fly far too close to the sun in terms of resemblance of already existing Pokemon (Boltmane - Luxray, Verdash - Cinderace, Cremis - Eevee, Direhowl - Lycanroc), as well as having some splices like Dinossom (Bayleef/Meganium + Goodra + Serperior + Lilligant) and Azurobe (Serperior, Primarina and Milotic, also probably the most suspicious Pal in terms of model topology), however, the game still has plenty of original designs such as Daedream, Tombat, Gorirat, Penking, Fuddler, Mau and many others (and if you think Penking is an Empoleon ripoff then I'm begging you to get your eyes checked).

However, it's also worth noting that some Pals are not accessible in the game at all, with Boltmane, Dragostroph, and the Pal that resembles Mega Mewtwo Y being notable ones. They can only be accessed through hacking.

Also, this is possibly the best video imo that has been released that compares the models between Palworld and Pokemon.

And while TPC did put out a statement that they're looking into Palworld possibly infringing their rights (which is only expected of them to do after people have tipped them), I think they would've taken this game down already years ago when it was out in the open. Palworld was first announced in 2021, and you can clearly see Direhowl and a bird/dragon that resembles Reshiram (that has seemingly gone unused) in the trailer. If the trailer has been out in the open for so long then surely someone has already tipped TPC about this. Palworld even had trailers for Tokyo Game Show 2022 and 2023. The legal process is a long one, but I believe TPC would've struck this game down a long time ago (although now with it having reached 20 million copies in sales + additional game pass players, there's a possibility that maybe TPC will do more, as as of this writing, Palworld has surpassed multiple Pokemon games in sales). It's also important to note that copyright laws in Japan are even more strict and there are no fair use clauses in Japanese copyright law. However, if this were to be taken up in the court, it's also just as likely that judges will rule in favor of Palworld.

The things that can protect Palworld from lawsuits is the fact that it doesn't use any Pokemon trademarks at all and plays very differently from Pokemon. As already mentioned, Palworld is an open world survival crafting game with monster taming elements while Pokemon is a traditional turn based JRPG. Pals also don't evolve whatsoever, adding yet another difference. On top of that, it can be argued that Palworld isn't trying to mislead uninformed people into thinking it's a Pokemon game.

I honestly wouldn't be surprised that if nothing comes out of those legal accusations and Palworld got finished that it would be released on a Nintendo system at some point in the future.

I have nothing to dispute against AI Art Impostor, it's a game Pocketpair has made that uses generative AI on its own server and is very upfront about it. But I have to ask the question (and I know it isn't mentioned anywhere in the initial post, but I still wanted to bring it up as it's something that has been thrown around).

If Pocketpair is so upfront about using generative AI in AI Art Impostor, why wouldn't they be upfront about it as well with their other games? Why wouldn't they mention it when asked about the development of Palworld? Sure, maybe it's due to controversy, AI Art Imposter early access (yes, this game is in early access as well) launched in late 2022 just as people were realizing just how devastating this could be for creatives. Pocketpair may be covering themselves by not mentioning AI at all in interviews. But they've also been interviewed before AI really blew up. Also, as mentioned in a Game Developer article linked above, the timeframe simply doesn't make sense. A lot of Pal designs were already finalized in the 2021 trailer, including the very uninspired Direhowl.

Also, the biggest issue that has been brought up in terms of generative AI is the mass scraping and usage of artworks without copyright holders' permission. But do we know if the model AI Art Impostor uses was trained on works without permission? Or was it limited to public domain works as plus possibly Pocketpair's own art assets plus works they got permission to use?

(I will retract this if someone can provide me concrete evidence that their generative AI model was in fact, trained on copyrighted works.)

The current biggest issue with AI Art Impostor then, in my opinion, is that even if they did get permission for all of the artworks used in their generative AI model, generative AI uses a lot of energy, which, depending on energy source, translates to carbon emissions. (Steam page also calls AI generated images artworks, which lol). These servers also use up water.

However, aside from all of this, as of now, there is no concrete evidence that generative AI was used in the development of Palworld. This doesn't mean that generative AI wasn't used at all, this simply means there is no concrete evidence for it and any claim that Pocketpair did use generative AI in development of Palworld needs to be scrutinized.

Also some videos I think that are important to watch.

I'm also linking these videos by Vinesauce and cr1tikal as I think their perspectives are important as both have played lots and lots of bootlegs/knockoff games and asset flips.

And with all of that said, if you're still on the fence whether you should get Palworld or not, it's fine. It's ultimately your call. I'm not telling you that you need to buy it to own it up to Game Freak or whatever, I haven't bought/played this game myself either. As someone who's been critical of Pokemon since SwSh (although I did end up buying and playing Arceus and Violet, both of which I ended up loving despite their issues, especially the latter's), I think buying monster taming games just to own up to Pokemon is silly and actually just undermines their success and further contributes to Pokemon's stranglehold on the monster taming genre of video games. Buy and play whatever looks interesting to you. But it's definitely important to support other, smaller games in this genre, especially the indie ones, and just because a game is a monster taming game doesn't mean it's a Pokemon ripoff or plays completely like Pokemon at all, even if it may have some surface level similarities.

Gonna say this as someone who has been critical of Game Freak both as a fan and as someone with a Pokémon SPIN for a while now:

Do not support Palworld.

The CEO of Pocket Pair, the game’s studio, openly supports AI and even made a game where making AI-generated art is its main mechanic.

Palworld is not Pocket Pair’s first instance of plagiarism, either. Their previous game, Craftopia, plagiarizes Breath of the Wild, whereas as its upcoming game, Never Grave: The Witch and The Curse, plagiarizes from independent developer Team Cherry’s game, Hollow Knight.

On top of stolen character models and concepts from fakemon artists, it’s already known that you can put Pals through what is basically slave labor BUT what’s been recently discovered is that the game allows you to capture and sell humans. This has been raising some red flags for black gamers looking into these mechanics, me included, considering this factors into the established slave labor system of Palworld.

TL;DR: I completely understand being tired of Game Freak and the Pokémon Company’s lack of polish over the years, but supporting something that is just as devoid of polish is not the way to make those criticisms clearer. This will only encourage more soullessness in the industry.

I implore you to support other creature collectors with some real passion behind them; I will reblog this post with recommendations shortly!

Microsoft Surface Go 3 review: left behind in competition with others

[topreviewin]

Microsoft Awe could be the future. I’m persuaded from it, also, because I’ve heard every business that also remotely variations technology let me know that is the situation. We want AI. It’s the bedrock of each and every technology later on. If you can’t feel the sarcasm, i'd like to deliver this down-to-earth. AI is every-where, hence’s unsurprising. You will find brand new technology styles yearly, but this newest growth in AI seems various. From the time the switch ended up being flipped and ChatGPT ended up being unleashed from the globe, there is an AI frenz,y with of world’s biggest & most affluent organizations duking it to finish on the surface of the AI heap. Unlike styles we’ve seen formerly, AI is becoming included in every thing. It catapulted Nvidia in order to become a trillion-dollar business using its specific AI accelerators. it is in the centre of Microsoft windows today, relating to Microsoft, with all the brand new Copilot function. While can’t communicate with a search field without AI going into play the role of helpful (the jury’s however on if it's really helpful). Software is something, however the biggest sign that AI is a big deal is hardware, hence’s the things I wish to concentrate on right here. More, we’re witnessing devoted AI processors in customer products. Apple is doing it for decades using its M-series processors, and both Intel and AMD today develop in AI accelerators making use of their cellular processors. It’s such an issue, obviously, that Microsoft discovered it fit to add a passionate AI processor on its present leading exterior computer Studio 2. Intel Those basically the high-level companies. In the event that you drop the bunch to organizations like Lenovo, Dell, and HP, you'll discover marketing bullet points about accelerating AI jobs with next-gen elements because of a passionate AI processor. And just what tasks is it possible to speed up? Really, back ground blur. Let me personally support for a minute. Many AI handling is not done in your product. If you use something like ChatGPT or Bing talk, you’re tapping the effectiveness of a data center hundreds or tens of thousands of kilometers away to accomplish the processing. Absolutely nothing occurs in your product. Microsoft’s Copilot, that was an essential feature for exterior computer Studio 2 and Microsoft windows 11, does not utilize the committed AI processor. It utilizes the cloud. On your real product, the one and only thing your AI processor can perform at this time is Microsoft windows Studio issues: back ground blur, an auto-framing function, and an attribute that changes your eyes making it look like you’re taking a look at the digital camera. That’s the reason why you want a passionate AI processor obviously. Better background blur. Major companies vow you will see even more utilizes of these AI accelerators later on, but we’ve however to see any customer applications or functions that leverage an AI accelerator. All interesting things to do with AI — picture generation, generative AI in Photoshop, plus — all occurs into the cloud. You could do it on any Computer, no AI accelerator required. You can add on things with Photoshop’s AI. Alan Really / Top Reviewing We’re absolutely witnessing the cart prior to the horse right here. As a tech reporter, it's an easy task to be cynical about AI provided just how regularly it's talked-about, but i must say i think devoted AI accelerators will likely to be a significant function having in PCs later on. That’s later on, however. Today, organizations like AMD and Intel want to offer equipment to consumers whodon’t require it. An individual whom addresses technology for a full time income is scraping their particular mind on how to also leverage a consumer AI accelerator, you understand there’s an issue. We need applications that will really make use of these AI accelerators, and additionally they only don’t occur at this time. There’s some energy to construct frameworks for designers to construct their AI-powered applications.

It has already been per year ruled by AI, however, when best the firms marketing and advertising AI accelerators will come with is back ground blur, it's crucial that you ask if everybody certainly requires this equipment within their Computer. Perhaps in the future, yes, but most certainly not at this time. You might have pointed out that we left Nvidia using this conversation. The existing kingpin of AI has worked to construct devoted AI functions, marrying pc software and equipment collectively. In consumer PCs, you not just get Nvidia Broadcast — that has much better cam impacts than Microsoft windows Studio issues, along side AI functions for the microphone and speakers — but in addition deeply Mastering Super Sampling (DLSS). From upscaling to higher anti-aliasing to much more practical ray tracing, Nvidia is placing the AI accelerators with its illustrations cards to make use of. You want the equipment to unlock an extensive swath of functions, not merely better back ground blur. Nvidia Up up to now, wen’t seen that exact same drive from organizations creating AI accelerators into Computer equipment. That’s incorrect on mobile phones — you can observe Apple’s Neural motor at the office in sets from address recognition to AR applications on iPhones — but PCs have actuallyn’t already been element of that change. We’re building to another of AI in PCs, however it isn’t right here however. For the present time, you don’t should purchase a laptop computer for an AI accelerator. As we see just what this equipment can perform, after that we are able to have an educated conversation towards intent behind these processors.

What is Black Friday?Black Friday is an annual sales event that traditionally happens at the end of November, after Thanksgiving. This year, like has been the case in the past few years, retailers will be emphasizing online shopping.When is Black Friday 2021?Black Friday falls on Friday, November 26, 2021. Cyber Monday will take place on Monday, November 29, 2021. Thanksgiving is the last Thursday of November, and each year, Black Friday occurs the day following, with Cyber Monday following shortly after.When do Black Friday 2021 sales start?Broadly speaking, Black Friday starts as soon as Thanksgiving ends. However, every year, Black Friday sales start earlier and earlier. With ongoing supply chain issues, we expect to see stores start their sales sooner and end them later. This year, we saw the first Black Friday sales begin in mid-October, with popular retailers, including Amazon, Best Buy and Walmart, offering up tons of epic deals.How long do Black Friday sales last?Black Friday is followed directly by Cyber Monday on November 29, 2021. Technically speaking, as soon as Cyber Monday begins, Black Friday ends. The best discounts are usually limited to these two days (and the weekend between them); however, some bargains stick around through the end of the following week.What stores offer Black Friday 2021 deals?Nearly every retailer from big box stores, like Amazon, Best Buy, Walmart and Target, and start-ups, like Leesa, Casper and Our Place, offer some sort of promotion during Black Friday.►More: Don't wait until Black Friday to start your holiday shopping. Here's why you need to shop now. ►Black Friday 2021: Black Friday deals: Amazon, Walmart, Target and more have unveiled holiday shopping plansDuring Black Friday, we expect retailers to limit the availability of the very best doorbuster deals—and they may run out quickly.To ensure that you’ll be able to check out with ease, make sure your shipping and payment information is up to date at the retailers you intend to shop. Be aware of how much cash back your credit cards will net for each retailer, or if there are benefits you’d like to use (for instance, some credit cards offer extended warranties for certain products purchased).If you’re not already an Amazon Prime member, you can sign up for a free, month-long trial. The subscription is $6.49 for students and $5.99 for those receiving qualifying government assistance. For everyone else, an Amazon Prime subscription will cost $12.99 per month, or $119 per year. This subscription gets you free two-day shipping, plus tons of other benefits, including Prime Gaming, Prime Video and access to Amazon’s Lightning deals.If you're planning on shopping Black Friday and Cyber Monday, the optimal time to start or renew your Prime membership would be Monday, November 1. However, we recommend shopping early this year to avoid any supply issues.There’s more where this deal came from.Sign up for Reviewed’s Perks and Rec newsletter and we’ll keep ’em coming every Sunday through Friday.The product experts at Reviewed have all your shopping needs covered.
