some more thoughts regarding Palworld
I'm actually beginning to wonder if the Pals that are so similar to Pokemon can be traced back to a freelancer or two. lots of freelancers were hired for the development of Palworld. while some Pals heavily resemble already existing Pokemon, they are kinda in the minority of the overall Pal designs, it has plenty of original designs
also wrt plagiarism accusations, I honestly think it's just best left to courts to decide in any potential lawsuits. not that tipping copyright holders for possible plagiarism is bad, but that's all it is. a tip. best to just let actual lawyers who study these laws to judge (and even actual copyright and IP lawyers will tell you just how freaking tangled copyright laws are) in the even of a possible lawsuit
#and while i'm in the camp that some of the plagiarism accusations towards palworld are a reach i won't lie#some of those designs fly far too close to the sun#like direhowl#'there are only so many ways to design a wolf' please look at the wolves in digimon i'm begging you#as well as wolves from other media#there are plenty of ways to design wolves. even the most literal down to earth wolf#i'm not a lawyer and i don't want to say for sure if i think direhowl is plagiarized but it's def one of the more uninspired pals#along with verdash#on the other hand i'd be interested in hearing from an actual lawyer whether splices constitute plagiarism or not#like ok i'll admit i like dinossom but i acknowledge it's a splice of already existing pokemon#shadowbeak too#love the design but i know it's just a splice of arceus and silvally with a gryphon spin#still that design fucks#i also kinda like the centaur ceruledge pals they look p cool#cmon pokemon give us actual centaurs#also if pocketpair do get hit with a lawsuit i really hope all they'll have to do is replace pals that look too much like pokemon#i'm afraid of a lawsuit scenario which is ruled in favor of TPC bc of potential precedents that could be set#that go on to hamper creativity and innovation#and the monster taming genre is already as monopolized as is by nintendo#other developers have been prying that control away slowly throughout the years and there's been a more general acceptance of other games#but there needs to be more#palworld#hazy rambles#also i do wonder if there could possibly be a day where palworld is released on a nintendo system#think about it#game has been selling like crazy and nintendo def wants a piece of that pie#and pocketpair would reach an even bigger audience#everyone would win in that scenario

three more tower bosses for all dem achievements lezgoo
also- bro i still don't have an actual factory
cuz i don't have the mats i need cuz i need to farm quartz separately w/o my pals fdhgfndhgndfhgnfhdgdf but Victor & Shadowbeak are my fave pal(s?) rn. used to be Zoe & Grizzbolt, but it's a funnier challenge tryna capture pals while Victor & Shadowbeak annihilate everything with a laser. I legit missed out on capturing that one lvl45 boss cuz this mf had to wipe like 10% hp with one attack-
still gotta get the legit version of Shadowbeak, but at least the glitch for the tower bosses is still available so I'm now just missing I think two more tower bosses c:
omw to tryna farm for the assault rifle too cuz the handgun to be fun, but i ain't dealin much later
also i'm tired af but still gotta write down what i did at work last week before i can sleep
if you notice me being more inactive recently- this is why:
my first base was absolutely terrible and in a horrible location, so i decided to spend hours moving to a new location across the map- it's now a lot better cuz my pals can't just randomly get stuck under the map and starve to death anymore :D
didn't get the game when it came out cuz i didn't have the money and wanted to wait for it to be on a bigger sale first- but then just went "fuck it" and dumped 30€ onto my steam to grab it before the 10% sale would be gone
was absolutely worth it tho- first pal and first human i saw were instantly dead by baseball bat lmao
