Name them. Name the politicians.

This article is more disinformation than the initial comparisons were.

The author clearly has no 3D experience. OF COURSE they had to fucking scale the models, 3D assets from different games and engines are not going to automatically share the same coordinate space. The point is that a lot of geometry that make up various pals is similar enough to pokemon parts that it has almost definitely been either traced or retopologized from the Pokemon originals. Multiple pals are just kitbashed together from random recreated bits of existing pokemon.

I don’t care about any vague AI accusations. I don’t care or know if what they’ve done is legal, I’m not a lawyer. I haven’t played a pokemon game since Red. But it should be clear that Palworld is at best creatively bankrupt, and they used their similarity to existing IP to gain viral success.

I’m not saying it’s a mechanically bad game. I’m not saying you should feel bad for playing it.

But this stuff is definitely ethically questionable and deserves to be discussed, and that is not helped by some idiots who do not understand 3D modeling weighing in about how “all the similarities were faked”. Because they were not.

I think Poland is tracking a couple of years ahead of those of us further west, so it’s useful for us to see how you resolve the damage the right wing populists have caused. I think many of us will face the same problem in the future.

Good luck guys.

Nicely put.

It still has to pass in the parliament, so I’m sure there’s plenty of shenanigans and domestic posturing left before they actually let us in.

Yeah, this is exactly where I’m at.

A large part of the reason I want higher framerates in the first place is that I want lower latency.

Higher framerates that actually make latency worse make no sense to me.

He’s sticking to what he knows.

Yeah, people speculated that this was coming.

Also, why the hell do they own bandcamp, lol.

I think it’s a bit of a false equivalence given that the fascist-adjacent right is significantly larger than the populist left.

Sure, the weird tankies are also a problem, but it’s misleading to suggest the scale of the issues are equal.

anti-establishment

That’s a real nice way of saying “fascist”.

Turkey under Erdogan is such a tragically consistent saboteur of international relations that I’m almost starting to believe he just enjoys being difficult for its own sake.

Yeah, wow, this is really great if it’s accurate enough.
