#disrespectful for people with actual DID?

[kdinjenzen]

So with all the stuff going on around Nintendo Vs Pocketpair I feel like people are missing the point of what's going on.

And this article actually finally brings up the biggest point: Nintendo has 1000s of patents and chooses not to enforce them all on everyone.

The idea that, quoting the article and Serkan Toto, "Nintendo's sweeping list of patents means it likely "could have sued half of the gaming industry back in 2017," …so like WHY NOT DO THAT?

There's a million reasons to not do it for Nintendo but TLDR is it's just bad business for them to do so.

The real take away is -what has PocketPair/Palworld done- that has brought out Nintendo to start enforcing these things in this particular situation?

A lot if you pay attention to PocketPair/Palworld's marketing and social presence. They threw rocks at Nintendo, so Nintendo is finally pushing back.

Now I'm not going to fully go to bat for Nintendo and say "they are a good company" because there's no such thing truly…

But in most cases with Nintendo, they C&D folks multiple times before even thinking of escalating anything to real legal trouble. Which is kinder than most companies.

The final thought of the article says that Nintendo may feel "threatened" by PalWorld but… I don't buy it.

Pokemon is THE highest grossing franchise in the world… ever… of all time. It's total revenue is around $100 BILLION with a B.

PalWorld, even at it's height, didn't even come close.

The aspects that I think Nintendo decided to act upon in their mind for this is the brazen bold rudeness and shit talking that happened on social media/marketing with PocketPair/Palworld.

PLUS the fact that Pokemon fans were also quick to be like "bruh, even if this isn't stolen it's obviously design lifted" for a lot of Palworld's Pals.

Add in the fact that both Microsoft and now Sony have pulled PalWorld onto their platforms… Nintendo is going to notice and get mad.

The truth is that PocketPair is an indie dev… with major AAA studios behind it now in a lot of ways. Which actually hurts PocketPair in a sense.

Nintendo tends to ignore indie stuff and has actually collabed with many indie studios before in major ways, so they aren't anti-indie.

Nintendo is OLD SCHOOL and expects a little bit of respect.

Nintendo has not taken action against pretty much any of the other true new Tiny Critter Collecting Indie IP that have popped up, a lot of them are ON Nintendo platforms and have had Nintendo feature them in directs…

But PocketPair threw rocks. Nintendo easily saw this as disrespect, but could be ignored.

What CAN'T be is the outcry from their own fanbase to "look into things" with PalWorld to see what, if anything, was lifted from Nintendo directly.

And Nintendo did. They took over a year to look into it.

This isn't Nintendo doing a knee jerk reaction, they went over things and took their time to research what PalWorld and PocketPair were doing.

Nintendo isn't stupid. They don't pick fights for no reason.

Regardless of if you LIKE Nintendo, or your feelings on a big company taking on a little company… Nintendo is very likely on the right side of business, IP, and patent law here.

Nintendo -losing- here would be, actually, really bad for small folks more than big guys in the long run.

Adding in the fact that PocketPair launched a generative Ai art game on top of all that…

This feel like, yes, Nintendo is flexing in a lot of ways but… they chose who to flex on and not to flex on -everyone-… so there seems to be a solid reason as to -why-.

Again the real take away is that IF Nintendo could have sued half of the gaming industry (as of 2017) with all the patents they have … why didn't they and WHY are they choosing to sue PocketPair/Palworld -now-?

Because that's more important than anything else.

Eeeek, did you see some twitter self proclaimed “insider” has said they’ve broken up. What are we going to do with ourselves now? How will we fill our days? Best move along, nothing to see here any more…

Yeah, right- don’t you love the attention seeker “trust me bro” folk on twitter??? 🤦🏻‍♀️

Amazing how people don’t believe I’m in the industry but will believe someone who clearly just wants attention and to stir shit. That account appears every once in a while, says some bullshit, and then disappears. It’s so yikes.

Also, would you believe me if I said I hypothetically held evidence to prove that Larry are still together but don’t wanna out them because that’s not fair on them? Would you believe me if I said that hypothetical phone call I mentioned did in fact happen and I actually have a a phone recording of it from a crew member who got let go of his job very quickly after taking backstage photos and audio recordings from louis’ dressing room? Would you believe me if I said that I know louis’ fake name he uses for hotels and I also know Harry’s (legit evidence of this lol) and that I have colleagues across the world who confirmed that they have stayed at the same hotel as recently as 2023? (This wasn’t in Aus unfortunately lol)

Well, idk if you would believe me, but that’s up to you. People who know shit don’t broadcast it like that account did. It’s embarrassing and disrespectful to larry. I’ve been in this fandom long enough to be able to tell what’s real and what’s not lol, and I can promise you that’s bullshit

the fact that this is real is beyond horrifying

A kind reminder

That systems who use parts language aren't less of a system

That systems are allowed to enjoy and benefit from a parts-focused framework

That parts language means different things to different systems, and no one defines it the same way

That anyone and everyone is allowed to use parts language

That parts language says nothing about the validity, autonomy, or realness of the system, alters, or parts

That parts language is only dehumanizing if you view it as such, and that you need to be incredibly careful about how you talk about parts language and those who use it

Parts language is personal and unique to each of us, much like healing choices, like fusion or functional multiplicity

Don't let anyone make you feel bad or wrong about a framework that has helped you

Show the same respect for parts language that you would about any other personal choices

I love the way you draw Medic, he’s just so perfect in your style 💕 and thanks of course for not making him a twink, I’ve seen too much fanart like that 🥹

danke sehr~ im glad you all like it!!

(x) Mahiru: I just normally loved someone. I don't think I've done anything wrong. And besides, I... can't live without love.

I hope Mahiru's T2 forgiven vote makes her worse. I hope she becomes the T2 Muu of Trial 3. I want to see her in full "I didn't do anything wrong" mode. I want her to get an It's Not My Fault-adjacent song I support women's wrongs.

like i said, truly fascinating people on this app!

[silverjirachi]

why did having a kin list turn into people self diagnosing with DID within the last like 3 years

[edwardsissyhandsthtdanceslikeabb]

so my singular and closest amigo is like a huge f1 fan which is kinda wild & random ( but not really bc everyone loves louis hamilton even if his first name is sir or smth i really dont know ) and seeing her engage in fandom has been subliminally brainwashing me so i had the thought:

there's seemingly not a centralized chess fandom on tumblr, but chess has seen an exponential boom in popularity, globally, and ppl do make posts abt the players, like you little freaks are out there. so as someone whose more into chess than the average bloke and has been for like a year and a half (and would thusly be able to talk abt the games and memes), i dont know why we aren't collectively sharing in the parasocial part of chess.

like there's so much drama all the time, friggin bum beads are now a core part of the lore, bobby fischer exists, gotham covers games literally daily like you can unclench levy its ok, magnus is always fckn about, hikaru fought some guy he lost a game to a couple of years ago, every dubov clip i've seen is him saying smth unhinged or doing like 1 million pull ups and he looks like he's my age but he's like TWENTY SEVEN HELLO?!, rapport and ding are the people's couple etc etc

like why are we not having fun with this lol?

as with all things, i've been influenced, and in my sleep deprived state i think its the perfect opportunity to cause more damage to tumblr :)

so do ur thing you animals, let's actually make this happen, lets make chess fun and cringe and creative and equally as involved as its youtube / video counterparts reflect — if anyone wants to be moots just comment or follow me! :D

Interesting. Don’t necessarily think I’m autistic but I have more going on than just ADHD and I’m not sure what that is.

[sundial-bee-scribbles]

i was actually trying to do a completely different thing but ended up here because i got curious in testing shit out

i present to you the definitive neru lmao - a morph of high-pitched miku & low-pitched rin

Just a PSA, natural disasters, political upheaval, wars, and anything else that displaces people en masse ALSO generates waves upon waves of scammers that wait like vultures to take advantage. Please verify any links you pass around before taking them at face value, obviously, but especially ones that ask for your money.

sometimes teh hater agenda gets to me. and i need to reason myself away from it

[iwanttobepersephone]

Trying to figure out if I'm pagan or atheist is so frustrating it's funny cause like. I don't believe in any gods persay, but I am more inclined to believe in the old gods than the Christian god, and the practices and beliefs surrounding them just feel right. Like, I just instinctually view holidays like Samhain or Beltane as Correct and celebrate them as best I can, but I don't actually believe in the gods, so can I call myself pagan?? Or am I just atheist with a special interest?? But it feels like so much more than that it really does

Continuing on for whatever the fuck happened with that poll™ yesterday, OP claiming that it was made as a "joke poll" doesn't matter because they were still being arophobic and not at all curbing any aphobia in their replies. It's also apparent that the joke here is the absurdity of the existence of aro men who are also cishet which shows how little OP and other aphobes really know about the aro and ace spectrums and the nuance within them.

Besides, the fact that so many people aren't really taking to it as a "joke" as OP claims, and is just spewing out such rancid hatred for ace and aro people, even wishing for our deaths, is still something to be called out. It still shows how uncaring OP and those other people are.

They really don't give a shit about us.
