Never assume that any mod for any game will remain compatible after the game releases an update.

It's a little more specific than that, like it has something to do with a way they attempted to streamline the process of switching between mounted and on-foot.

But yeah, still bullshit.

Patent No. 7545191

  • [Patent application date: July 30, 2024]
  • [Patent registration date: August 27, 2024]
  • Relates to a player character throwing an item at a character in the field, which triggers combat.

Patent No. 7493117

  • [Patent application date: February 26, 2024]
  • [Patent registration date: May 22, 2024]
  • Basically an extension of the above, relating to being able to capture Pokémon in the wild rather than just in combat like previous generations.

Patent No. 7528390

  • [Patent application date: March 5, 2024]
  • [Patent registration date: July 26, 2024]
  • Relating to being able to ride creatures in the open world.

Note that every single one of these patents was filed after palworld was released, and they're all awfully vague about what they actually cover.

A friend of mine went to Vegas once and we only got 2 texts from him in the group chat the entire time.

Day 1: I'm up!

Day 5: I'm down.

Donald Trump won the popular vote in an election with record setting voter turnout. Lack of democracy from the electoral college or voter suppression didn't do this. People voting for Trump did.

I died inside every time she brought up that Dick Cheney endorsed her. That should be a dirty secret, not a core campaign message.

It's directed at people who absolutely cannot vote for Harris due to her stance on Gaza. Instead, they enabled a war on their LGBTQ neighbors.

[–] Bassman1805@lemmy.world 10 points 3 days ago (2 children)

I'd argue that 98% of US voters don't care about Gaza whatsoever. It's a wedge issue for a very small minority but was unlikely to significantly affect the race in the big picture.

Almost everybody I know bitches about the price of groceries (regardless of where they place the blame) but I only know a couple people in the Real/Outside World who regularly talk about the Gaza genocide.

It's not that "the crime isn't a felony in Florida", it's that Florida defaults to the felony-voter rules of the state where the crime was committed.

New York lets felons vote as long as they're not currently incarcerated, so Florida lets him vote.

Yeah, but if you get caught with a paper trail and only one comma, nobody's gonna jump to your defense.

[–] Bassman1805@lemmy.world 10 points 4 days ago (2 children)

FWIW, I think this injunction was not about election integrity, but gambling laws.

But yeah, bribery is legal if you have that third comma in your net worth.
