Dumb people like you only have the ability to think in these terms.

Before people start some guessing game, a reminder that if Eccleston had wanted to name the co-star, he would have named the co-star.

I am a Post Production professional, and a hobbist oil painter and digital painter. I find the use of AI art abhorrent, BUT AI tools (for instance roto and cleaning tools like Resolve’s Magic Mask) take away hours of laborious low-pay high physical labor work.  My wrist hurts from constant computer use, roto…

Why would they be in trouble? If they were going to be sued, the lawsuit would have started when the game was announced.

AI in Games.

It’s coming. And once it’s out properly, people won’t ever want to go back.

Imagine AI NPC’s being able to be scripted on the fly and react within the confines of their characters traits/story. Especially with the breakthroughs in AI Voice - This will be a gamechanger.

The game isn’t controversial. The only people saying it is, and the only people wondering about law suits, seems to be game media types. No one involved with Pokemon cares because why on earth would they? And the game devs don’t care because they know Pokemon doesn’t care.

Plus they make you look like a marshmallow.

The mining will be handled by robots soon enough.

Game Freak can’t trademark an art style. ‘Legally distinct’ is probably what’s keeping everything afloat. Now, excuse me as I take a sip out of my Dr. Thunder.

My favorite part of this story is that nintendo hasn’t actually said anything. People are getting defensive over armchair analysis. 

Not familiar with Planeopnik?  Been a thing for a while now.

Pals are definitely deeply inspired by pokemon, and there are definitely equivalents and borrowed design elements. But it’s all remixed enough that it’s really not an issue. Like Kingpaca has Empoleon’s crown element, for instance, but they’re pretty radically different otherwise. Then there’s this fella.

It’s a transportation blog, mate

What is French for “pull a wheelie”?

A pillar bloat really is causing some crazy blind spots.
