Palworld’s new Legendary Pal, Panthalus, has players arguing online, with many calling it a Kyogre rip-off and a copy-paste of Pokémon’s famous Legendary whale.
Fans say the similarities are hard to ignore
“I feel like the similar art styles make the comparisons inevitable. Game Freak doesn’t own the concept of a legendary/divine whale creature… But you have to be incredibly dishonest to not immediately think of Kyogre when you see this,”
@AvaVtuber_ If she's more than me, makes more, blah, blah, blah.
As long as a woman loves me and cares about me as much as I care for her, thats marriage material.
Something I’ve noticed a lot in recent online discourse is what I’ll call “selective literacy”, allow me to explain:
There’s a group of people online who take things like Jax from Digital Circus and insist that he’s trans because of the context of scenes, themes, and undertones present in the final episode, with no word from the creator whatsoever (I know there’s been a post now but my point still stands). If you dare suggest the contrary, or admit that these things are not as obvious to the general audience or put together well, you’re simply deemed as wrong and ostracized from the online space.
Then on the flip side that same group of people will tell you that IzuOcha isn’t canon, despite the same type of context and theme usage being present in the final episode of MHA. They do so many mental gymnastics to prove their point that you kinda have to wonder if they need to touch some grass.
“IzuOcha can’t be canon because it wasn’t explicitly romantic!” Yet, Jax can be trans without it being explicitly stated in the episode. Do you see what I’m getting at here? Terminally online twt users are so far into their own delusions that they can’t seem to pick up on their own double standards, or admit that their “interpretation” of a series is contradictory to what’s stated in the canon.
I firmly believe media literacy is dead and we killed it. In a world where truth is subjective, everyone has to be correct, and my feelings are always valid, there’s no room to properly discuss things that are objectively true anymore.
Bad news, The European Commission has responded to the “Stop Destroying Videogames” initiative and decided not to make new laws about games becoming unplayable after support ends.
Apparently those sneaky meetings with Ubisoft CEO and other companies did their job.
Instead, it plans to bring together consumer groups and the video game industry to discuss better end-of-life practices and possibly create voluntary guidelines.
The Stop Killing Games campaign said this was the outcome it expected. It is now shifting its efforts to the European Parliament, where it hopes to add protections for players through the upcoming Digital Fairness Act.
Overwatch 2 has officially revealed its new hero, Shion, with an animated trailer called Terminal Station.
Shion is one of the top leaders of the Hashimoto-gumi, a dangerous yakuza group that has been connected to the stories of Kiriko, Genji, and Hanzo.
You know... literature is such an amazing thing to have. It reminds me that some people don't have it. Give this man the ability to read before he speaks.
We plan for big visual overhauls to the game later on down the line. Once we're past the "making it real" part of development.

Bethesda director Todd Howard is tired of being asked about The Elder Scrolls 6, and would rather we all pretend he just didn't announce it at all. https://t.co/k21KLtdZuM
