  • That’s like any FPS game ripping off any other FPS game.
    Fight, capture, tame, train, breed animals.
    Base building, research tree, enemy raids.
    Exploration, resource gathering, survival.

    I don’t think Nintendo has a monopoly on enslaving animals.

    I know what you mean, tho. It’s always described as “Pokémon with guns and 3xE gameplay”.
    But does Nintendo actually have a case that will hold up in courts?
    Pocketpair seems confident they can defend against it. So either they have done their research and are up for a fight. Or they (think they) are calling Nintendo’s bluff.
    But Nintendo has a whole pack of lawyers.

    Unfortunately there are no details on what the patents being infringemed upon are, just that they relate to “Pocket Monster”.





  • It’s probably the whole “yeh, still capitalism. Still big oil. Still big pharma. Still genocide and world-police”.
    And you show that Dems are better on all those things. But because Dems don’t fully SOLVE 4/4 of them, it doesn’t matter who you vote for because you still get fucked.

    It’s bullshit.
    Dems have more social benefit policies and track record of social improvements than reps.
    ACA, vet funding/care, insulin etc pricing, student loans. Hopefully things like unions, but idk if I have been caught up in propaganda that Dems don’t care about unions.













  • Oh, this is on android yt app.
    Pixel 8pro, so Google & Google.
    There isn’t any variable that they don’t have control of.
    Video playback after ads skips 500ms, plays 500ms, skips 500ms etc. Changing quality doesn’t fixing it. Play/pause doesn’t fix it, skipping doesn’t fix it. I have to fully quit YT app and restart it to get playback again, and chances are it starts the ads again.
    Never had an issue on FF, w10 or Linux.

    I get that streaming video is expensive for bandwidth. And creators need an incentive to create.
    I don’t expect it for free. I don’t YT enough to warrant a premium subscription.
    The ads literally break the platform for me.
    Makes sense to me to get into one of the alternative clients… But I don’t want to not pay my dues… It’s just not worth the £13 a month: there is no way I’m consuming that much content.
