My cock is not inspired after reading this bad take.
John Carmack is human intelligence and therefore more valuable than artificially generated drivel.
-edit- I mistook inspecting for inspiring for your name. I'm leaving it.
[X] Doubt
John Carmack is many things, but I have my doubts about whether human is one of them. At minimum, he's some kind of alien. Most days I lean more toward incognito archdevil of the plane of knowledge. I've heard someone accuse him of being God, or at least standing in for him on Wednesdays.
At least on Wednesdays.
Well I admit im wrong about everything so, may your cock be inspired by that(?)
I present semi-chub. Carry on fellow meme warrior.
I never said John is an AI. But there are steps Palworld coulda taken to avoid the inevitable. If anything its just sad they did nothing to prevent this. I can see why thousands of people like it a fuckton. But they did nothing to actually avoid this from happening.
The whole game was intended from the very beginning to thumb their nose at Nintendo, just so happens that it got really popular and sold a ton of copies because it isn't difficult to make a better Pokémon game than The Pokémon Company does, even when the entire game in question is a shitpost.
Im not about to sit here and tout the game that gives Lugia a gun as a game better than Pokemon, fuck no 😭😭😭
I've changed my statements (see above) about the lawsuit but this game is DEADASS just a higher quality newgrounds game similar to "Mario with a gun/bazooka/truck"
A shitpost is a better way to describe this. I simply refuse to look past the quirky, cartoony, 3d monsters HOLDING WHOLE ASS GLOCKS n RIFLES, to suspend my disbelief just enough to enjoy whatever this game has to offer. It hits these levels of Uncanniness with me that I severely dont like and bothers me for whatever reason.
And that's fine, different strokes and all. I personally find it highly goddamn hilarious and enjoy playing it with my gaming group. I just think it's a little disingenuous to say "palworld devs did nothing to prevent this, sad" when the whole original concept was basically designed around parodying Pokémon. They knew what they were doing.
Why didnt they just file under Parody law then??
