It makes a lot of sense for businesses, especially where different countries might have different regulations. E.g., amazon.ca and amazon.in. Both sites are in English but it makes way more sense to split them up by country.

+1 for Halls of Torment

It’s a really solid entry in the rogue-lite vampire-survivors-like genre that Diablo enjoyers could pick up really easily

Maybe, maybe not. As equity holders get older they may be looking to cash out so they can fuel their retirements.

I don’t think that’s something Gabe is interested in, but we’re talking about what will happen when he dies.

Never say never, but I don’t think it’s going to happen while Gabe is in charge

He did at one point. I think he’s said that he likes being in full control of the project, so he took back over the porting process.

It’s really impressive that a single developer does as much as he does.

20 years.

But it isn’t the original system. It’s the implementation done is Legends Arceus.

Nope, my bad. Im far from an expert but know enough to differential between copyright and parent. I didn’t know that prior art had that meaning.

Once again. Patents have nothing to do with art. And even if they had proof they worked on those mechanics before Nintendo patented them doesn’t mean they have the right to use it. Yes, it’s kinda a dumb system. But there is a lot of effort to get a patent, and once you have one you have a lot of protection because of it.

Disregard. :) see comment below

It’s a patent case. It has nothing to do with the creative design of the games.

But yes. Every pokemon is copyrighted. Every pal is copyrighted. (In the US) All creative work is automatically copyrighted to the creator.

You can’t copyright “a standing lizard with a small flame on its tail” but you can copyright Charmander. If you copy enough elements that a lay person can’t distinguish the original and the copy then it opens it up for a copyright claim.

None of that is relevant in this case.

A patent is to protect a specific invention from being copied. In this case, there is an innovative game mechanic that Nintendo patented has that Palworld copied. The speculation is with throwing an item that captures a character that fights other characters in a 3d space.

The patent is dumb. Personally I don’t think it is innovative or special enough to be patented. Patenting software or game mechanic are dumb anyway.

You can’t have a solution if you ignore half of the problem statement. It’s completely unhelpful.

Problem: I want to be able to type better while having long nails.

Your solution: Don’t have long nails.

Someone didn’t read the article. She addresses exactly this.

I can already hear the trolls making jokes about women being concerned about breaking a nail. If it’s so inconvenient, why not just have short nails? Well, I’m not out here wearing long nails for fun. Being a reviewer often means acting as a part-time hand model for whatever gadget I’m testing. The Internet Nail Police has repeatedly shown up in my comments over the years if my polish is chipped or, god forbid, there’s a smudge of dirt under my natural nail.

Oh cool, I’ll have to switch. I’ve been using Arc for a few months now and really like it, but would rather move away from chromium. I’d been using Firefox for years before that

Here’s a TLDR of your text:

• ADHD brains are well-suited to tech jobs. They thrive on the variety and urgency of IT work.
• Success requires balance. You can’t rely on high-stress situations to focus long-term.
• Your experience is your asset. Learn to translate your instincts into process improvements others can understand.
• You’ll need new skills. Develop time management and task completion skills to progress.
• Other ADHD-friendly careers exist. Consider EMTs, kitchen staff, or machine operators where focus and pattern recognition are key.
