  • The Pokémon Company Announces It Will ‘Investigate’ Palworld IP And Assets
  • The thing is they literally took pokemon 3D assets, edited them a little and that's all

    Because pals look like this

    but now IN 3D!!!

    They took Serperior head+ Milotic body and Primarina hair

    https://nintenduo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Palworld-Plagio-Pokemon-03-1024x576.webp

    self-explanatory

    For the thumbnail image, they took meoth face, purugly body and that's it

    These designs are not "inspired" they simply imported the assets from a pokemon game on blender or something, used "copy and paste" for different body parts and that's it, job done that's their completely original creature, totally not copied

  • Palworld’s success is partially born from Pokémon fans’ discontent
  • it wouldn't have sold millions of units

    People started to sell their steam accounts that owned the game and keys for the game for hundreds of dollars when it was announced the game was some bad that it was going to be removed from steam

    If something is popular it will sell, the quality does not matter. You have the best example in Pokemon itself

  • Palworld’s success is partially born from Pokémon fans’ discontent
  • No one will know what you're looking for better than you, but people have been making games inspired by Pokemon for a long time now.

    A Pokemon clone with high production values made in Japan. Or if it's not made in Japan one that uses it own art style, I simply can't stand the "Fake anime" aesthetic that most indies use, like they learned to draw using this as refference

    Think of Shin Megami Tensei (but not SMT V, that one sucks, they removed the dungeon crawling and the puzzles)

  • Palworld’s success is partially born from Pokémon fans’ discontent
  • As far as I can tell The Day Before was overhyped early and people bought it because of the marketing

    https://www.reddit.com/r/TheDayBefore/comments/lwaach/people_keep_saying_its_a_scam_whats_the_scam/

    That's a 3 years old post. Everybody knew it was a scam back then. to the point the studio released "We are not a scam, trust me bro" statements (which made it more obvious it was a scam)

    I don't remember hearing about it before

    Internet has been talking about "pokemon with guns" for 2 years or so since the developers were already famous because they launched a "Breath of the Wild" knock off (Craftopia) that also sold well (not at the same level of palworld, but for being the first title of a brand new indie studio it sold really well)

  • Palworld’s success is partially born from Pokémon fans’ discontent
  • The problem with TemTem is that it's an always online game, if the servers are turned off you won't be able to play, not even the single player campaign so it's a hard pass.

    And the art style of both games are not my cup of tea, the do a disservice selling me the game.

  • Palworld’s success is partially born from Pokémon fans’ discontent
  • Pokémon with guns wouldn't have gotten millions of sales on its own

    The day before sold millions (but this one was refunded by millions too) and everybody and their mom knew it was a scam since it was announced like 2 or 3 years ago. Internet is weird, if something becomes viral it will sell, the quality does not matter, people just wants to be in

  • Palworld’s success is partially born from Pokémon fans’ discontent
  • I don't thinks so. It popular because "pokemon with guns" became a viral meme which sucks.

    A a discontent pokemon fan myself I would love someone to make a pokemon clone since Game Freak is not really interested in doing good pokemon games anymore. But "Ark Survival Evolved with knockoff pokemon skins instead of dinosaurs" is not what I want

  • I want a new PC in the foreseeable future, so here I am asking for advice

    I want a new PC in the foreseeable future, so here I am asking for advice

    Here's some basic info about my current build \-Processor: i7-7700 \-RAM: 32 GB DDR4 (originally they were 16GB, but one module died and I had to buy new ram modules) \-Graphic Card: RTX 3060 (originally it was the GTX 1060 3GB but it died too) \-Motherboard: Asus Z270H \-Case: Zalman Z11 plus. I hate it, it's ugly, I did not chose it (they didn't had in stock the one I bought and gave me that one instead) and cleaning it is a pain in the ass

    I'm planning in changing teams, leaving Nvidia, Intel and Windows behind for AMD and Linux

    I can't afford a high end PC, but it will be a gaming PC, so let's stay in the middle (more or less in line of what my current build was 6-7 years ago)

    The thing is Idk much about AMD (I've been inside the Nvidia bubble for too long), are they going to launch new hardware (procesors and graphic cards) soon? should I wait? will the wait be worth? (yeah, sorry. those are the eternal questions, I know never is the right moment to upgrade)

    I DON'T have any interest in most AAA graphic intensive games (like GTA VI) there are some exceptions, (like the next Monster Hunter) but I rarelly play AAA games (In general I'm more into a A or AA games) so here it is possible to cut some corners a little

    Ok, those questions were a little bit generic and I can investigate on my own, you can ignore them, but I have some questions a little bit more specific

    I have a PCIe 3.0 NVME M.2 SSD and a Samsumg EVO 870 EVO (Sata 2.5'') I'll like to reuse in the new build. would it be possible? are new motherboads (with PCIe 5 or 6) backwards compatible? (asking about the M.2 SSD that uses PCIe 3.0 mainly, the other one is a normal Sata SSD) I plan to buy a newer (and faster) M.2 SSD too, but the extra storage is always welcome even if it's slower

    About the case I just want a simple case, easy to clean and as silent as possible (so the bigger the fans the better) with plenty of room inside so it's easy to work with it when I need to do some maintenance like cleaning or replacing something, I don't need RGB nor a glass window nor all the fancy stuff so what do you recommend?

    Another dilemma I have is the screen, it's so old it it only has a DVI port!! (SyncMaster BX2335) but still works, is full HD and its size is 23'' I don't have room for a much bigger screen so idk if 1440p or 4k screens are worth, tbh.

    Stuff stopped working

    Distro: EndeavourOS Completely updated. Everything worked fine until yesterday. No hardware changes (idk why says the graphic card is not compatible, is a Nvidia RTX 3060)

    KeepassXC refuses to run

    if I click the icon it does nothing, if I try to run it through the console I get this error

    qt.glx: qglx\_findConfig: Failed to finding matching FBConfig for QSurfaceFormat(version 2.0, options QFlagsQSurfaceFormat::FormatOption(), depthBufferSize -1, redBufferSize 1, greenBufferSize 1, blueBufferSize 1, alphaBufferSize -1, stencilBufferSize -1, samples -1, swapBehavior QSurfaceFormat::SingleBuffer, swapInterval 1, colorSpace QSurfaceFormat::DefaultColorSpace, profile QSurfaceFormat::NoProfile) qt.glx: qglx\_findConfig: Failed to finding matching FBConfig for QSurfaceFormat(version 2.0, options QFlagsQSurfaceFormat::FormatOption(), depthBufferSize -1, redBufferSize 1, greenBufferSize 1, blueBufferSize 1, alphaBufferSize -1, stencilBufferSize -1, samples -1, swapBehavior QSurfaceFormat::SingleBuffer, swapInterval 1, colorSpace QSurfaceFormat::DefaultColorSpace, profile QSurfaceFormat::NoProfile) Could not initialize GLX

    Steam runs, but only minimized on the system tray, it refuses to open a window (I have no errors in a console, yet it does not work properly)

    Blender also refuses to work, similarly to keepassXC, clicking the icon does nothing, on the console I got this

    [Solved] How can I make app launch on system start up?

    OS: EndeavourOS Fresh Install and updated

    The "Launch \<appname\> on start" on the \<appname\> settings does not work

    I have this issue with multiple apps (KeepassXC, Steam, Ferdium...) the settings in each app is marked and saved

    They work fine, they simply do not launch on system start up

    I want to return to Linux. Recomendations?

    Like 10-15 years ago I was into linux and tried a bunch of different distros (PCLinuxOS, Mint, CentOS, OpenSuse...) and was quite happy with the, then, limited options of gaming on linux (It was the time Valve released TF2 for linux)

    But time passed, I got a new PC and didn't bothered install any linux distro (because I got a small HDD and didn't wanted to split it in partitions for linux)

    Back then stuff like Proton did not even exists, so today I'm kind of lost and don't know what flavour I should pick, so here I am asking for advice

    A couple of relevant details about the hardware, my PC is a little bit old (i7-7700) I hope that's not an obstacle to enjoy gaming on linux I also have an Nvidia graphic card

    Also, while most people just use Steam I also use GOG regularly, if that matters

    Looking for a music player (for local files)

    I'm looking a music player focused on local media (stored in my phone's SD card)

    I used foobar2000, but I found creating playlist incredibly tedious so I changed to VLC, which is ok, it let me choose a bunch of files and add them to a playlist, but both share the same problem. When I change my SD card for a new one I have to start from the scratch and create all the playlist again, and that's a pain in the ass

    So I'm looking for a audio player that let me easily export and import the playlist I create
