Imagine sending death threats over Pokémon. What kind of pathetic clump of cells must they be to do that shit.

I literally can't fathom sending a death threat. It would take an effort to come up with the content of the threat. And that assuming I'd be so angry that I'd decide to threaten someone. It's just so much effort, first to get angry enough and then express that anger in the form of a threat and then find a way to send that threat to the outlet person.

It actually makes me sad for the people who send those threats, because their lives must be so incomprehensibly shit to actually go through with it. They're still bags of dicks though.

It’s the internet, everyone gets death threats.

Wake me up when they send an IRL death threat.

This game bites a lot of other games, but it's fun to play which is more than I can say for any Nintendo Pokemon game in recent memory.

If a game copies what another game does but does it better and/or gives it own spin on things (which PalWorld arguably does, considering that you can have your ~~Pokemon~~ Pals fight with machine weaponry and also ~~enslave~~ capture people as Pals), I don’t see how that can be a bad thing. Otherwise, people should be up in arms about every roguelike Metroidvania or Soulslike game.

Pokémon hasn't pushed the envelope at all. I think this game really shows what you can do with battle pets in an open world and Nintendo should take notes. Not necessarily breaking their format or making a survival crafter, but there's a lot of potential they ignore.

Just seems like enraged impotence engaged more than anything. I’d be more concerned about Pokemon Go players behind the wheel, if they’re still out there.

I still play, but only while I'm walking

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I totally support you, thank you for not endangering anyone.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

No problem, I think more people should walk and ride bikes anyhow
