I think OOT Remake looks genuinely incredible so I’m allowed one teeny tiny complaint

I absolutely hate these little fibers sticking up from Link’s hat

Regarding the Lawsuit

Yesterday, a lawsuit was filed against our company for patent infringement.

We have received notice of this lawsuit and will begin the appropriate legal proceedings and investigations into the claims of patent infringement.

At this moment, we are unaware of the specific patents we are accused of infringing upon, and we have not been notified of such details.

Pocketpair is a small indie game company based in Tokyo. Our goal as a company has always been to create fun games. We will continue to pursue this goal because we know that our games bring joy to millions of gamers around the world. Palworld was a surprise success this year, both for gamers and for us. We were blown away by the amazing response to the game and have been working hard to make it even better for our fans. We will continue improving Palworld and strive to create a game that our fans can be proud of.

It is truly unfortunate that we will be forced to allocate significant time to matters unrelated to game development due to this lawsuit. However, we will do our utmost for our fans, and to ensure that indie game developers are not hindered or discouraged from pursuing their creative ideas.

We apologize to our fans and supporters for any worry or discomfort that this news has caused.

As always, thank you for your continued support of Palworld and Pocketpair.

@PokemonGoApp The new backgrounds are making catching Pokemon very difficult. Laggy as all heck. Is there the chance of a performance mode for people with slightly older devices?

[Alternative Schlock @chrisburtonuk]

@PokemonGoApp @primegaming Adding my voice to the list of people who can't play with location (eg. the thing you need to play the game) enabled. Just immediately crashes seconds after starting. Please get it fixed before Community Day next Sun. I've seen reddit threads of several dozen others in same boat.

We're aware that some of you are having issues accessing your Instagram account. We're looking into it and apologize for the inconvenience. #instagramdown

[Alternative Schlock @chrisburtonuk]

@InstagramComms I literally have no content on my page I just follow interesting people. It just locked me out for no reason, tried to do the verification process it requested and now its just an endlessly scrolling loading wheel?

[Alternative Schlock @chrisburtonuk]

Off to see Harry Hill on Friday. The kind of people weirdly annoyed at his appearance on breakfast telly have given me every faith it'll be one of his best sets.
