I’ve heard that done Tesla models have laminate glass on the doors, like they make the windshield, making most glass breakers ineffective.

If they keep up this kind of parent trolling in Japan up, there aren’t going to be any Japanese devs left to make anything before long.

That’s a huge assumption that he was ever there mentally.

It’s perfectly okay to have sympathy for those who have no means of escape.

That’s not who was expressing their desire to stay due to some belief that their deity has a duty to protect them.

Not heartless at all. If anything, they’re respecting the religious freedoms of these suicidal-death-cult members.

It might be valid, but there’s no way McD’s was harmed. Their customers sure got that price fixing damage passed onto them, though.

Before YouTube’s switch to “your going to watch 6 ads before the video starts, and you are going to like it,” schtick, I always enjoyed getting to skip the ad before they managed to tell me what the product even was.

At the rate these political hacks are going, students won’t be able to parse modern text.

Then there needs to be a copyright ownership agreement between the artist in the article and the artists’ whose work was used to train the AI…

I think the running conspiracy is that the platform is a psyop to get idiots to try doing idiotic things they wouldn’t otherwise get exposed to.

From what I’ve heard, the Chinese version of the app’s recommendations algorithm leans towards educational content instead of topics literally trying to tear at the seams of modern society.

I can respect that. I basically came to the same conclusion regarding most PvP games/modes.

If I’m playing a game to have fun, and I’m not having fun, why am I still playing it?

My online friend group never really saw it my way unfortunately, but it always amuses me when we hang out in voice chat and they’re getting biblical-levels of salty in a match while I’m just chilling and playing Spyro or something.

That being said, it sounds like she’d effectively turned the game streaming into her job. That’d sap the fun out of anything eventually.

Doesn’t that exceed political donation caps to PACs?

https://www.fec.gov/updates/fec-announces-2023-2024-campaign-cycle-contribution-limits/

The limit for contributions by individuals and nonmulticandidate PACs to national party committees has risen to $41,300, while the limit for individual and nonmulticandidate PAC contributions to each of the additional national party committee accounts has increased to $123,900 per year.

You are correct, I missed that it was still under speculation.

Pocketpair has a pretty good case against Nintendo here, I think, because other games have used these things before.

I know it was never actually released, but Scalebound had a mechanic that would have allowed a player to tell their dragon to perform a task, albeit, usually destructively.

Guild Wars 2 Added a mechanic years ago that let players traverse water and land by automatically a switching between mounts.

‘Releasing’ a creature into a 3d environment has been done by every minion-mancer class in an MMO since the dawn of the genre.

Looks like it’s over the game mechanics of ‘releasing a creature into a 3d environment and having it perform a contextual task’ & ‘having a rideable mount switch to a different rideable mount depending on terrain’

I don’t think either of these would work in the US, because you can’t protect game mechanics here, but I’m not sure about Japan’s take.

Edit: I missed that this was still under speculation at the time of the post:

Based on searching of Japanese patent databases, initial speculation is that these may include (but is not necessarily limited to) patents relating to game mechanics and gameplay features from Pokémon: Legends Arceus, and may include patents such as one for throwing and using Poké Balls in a 3D space (JP,2023-092953,A); and one for automatically switching between ride Pokémon as a player transitions between different terrain, such as between air and the ground (JP,2023-092954,A).

It doesn’t need to be an animated visual to be distracting or NSFW…

That’s a lot of faith that the ads would be SFW, let alone not distracting.

Chump sucking off a foreign national/wannabe dictator…

Tale as old as time.
