The development team and the marketing team are not the same people. Extremely naïve to come to a complete conclusion with 0 exposure to gameplay. I don't respect the opinion because it isn't informed.

Ah yes, the storefront page. Definitely direct dev communication and not marketing.

Look again. There were no model rips.

It's insane to me how often I see takes like this, where it's clear that not only did they not play the game, they didn't even watch a second of gameplay.

If the game didn't HEAVILY penalize you for actually trying to exploit your pals, I'd agree, but mechanically a sweatshop will actually produce nothing at all in a short period of time. Bad working conditions lead to pals stopping work altogether until you let them rest, feed them, etc. to the point it's obvious their marketing and actual game design aren't in lockstep. You're REQUIRED to treat pals well to make substantial progress.

These are sales figures. https://www.statista.com/statistics/1447359/palworld-games-sales-worldwide/

Oh, you forgot they started requiring logins for following tweet links, they made embedding tweets offsite worse, they added one of the worst stable diffusion models to the subscription, and the bot population got worse. All features :)

Overprime died and predecessor is not long for this world. Interestingly, neither major reboot had the content of the final state of Paragon Global, and started from about six months of updates before closure of original paragon. They both reworked decks in a way I didn't really enjoy personally anyway

This comment has the energy of a child who has never tried beef jerky explaining why beef jerky is probably terrible.

I'd rather know. Having spent a large portion of my education in the US southeast, I've been embarrassed in public by people I considered friends until they said something unacceptable. Whether it's "being rude to the help" at a restaurant, getting drunk and harassing someone over race, whatever, I've not hesitated throughout my life to tell prejudiced people to shut the fuck up and find a new ride home or a new set of friends.

It's surprisingly easy to remove yourself from someone you know is denying you a ton of social opportunity. If someone is automatically threatening in your mind because of their race or gender alone, you're weak, you're immature, and you drag down everyone who takes time to validate your bullshit insecurities by talking about it, much less participating in it.

In 2011 she effectively kept private prisons in power in california, by successfully opposing a supreme court ruling that required california to reduce its prison population. It's a huge issue that's going to swing a lot of voters away, so even confirmed blue voters (me) have ethical issues with her specifically.

Personally hoping J.B. Pritzker somehow rallies 300 delegates; he's low-scandal, has a great history with long-term job creation focus, and he looks like a soft doughy cookie.

It might disappoint you to learn that among american english speakers, literacy isn't a good indication of maturity by age. Barbara Bush made a literacy initiative that's still around, the One Good Thing(R) left over from the bush regime. The site has a handy map to show you the 40-60% adult literacy rate counties spread all over the states. It definitely helped me come to terms with the fact that sometimes a kid who is trying is gonna be more eloquent than an adult repeating the same tired take they've been rebutted for a thousand times.

It's easier for me personally to gauge age as it scales up when anonymity is involved - referential humor, recognizance of the ancient runes (Duckroll, Bill Murray's face with only the jaw moving), and informed chitchat about presidential behavior predating Bush SR are all dead giveaways that a user is older, but with younger users you have a lot of hobby/interest overlap going all the way up to people in their 40s. You can't look someone in the eyes and see if the light of youth has gone out yet on forums and imageboards.

Possibly one of the most milquetoast dark souls roll steamrolls of the year, with zero replayability and worse build depth than starfield. The story has two interesting beats total. I'm sorry you think this was good gameplay, lichdom:battlemage from a decade ago outshines it completely and the only interesting thing the spells might bring is stockholm syndrome style nostalgia from a wholly overrated children's novel series. If your idea of good gameplay is flinging things around, maybe see if you can find hit flash game interactive buddy in an archive.

Kentucky, personally. Incest ran so deep it turned that one family blue. The fugates IIRC.
