3 to 4 hours of focus on anything, every single day is so unthinkable to me I can't even.
Even when I take my ADHD meds I don't get those kind of numbers! Jesus. Maybe don't feel like your existence needs to be justified by constant, sustained effort that can be measured? Sounds really stressful.
MYTH: Only boys can be autistic.
FACT: Girls were given access to the spectrum in 1983.
Absolutely slayed me.
On the one hand, completely agree. On the other hand, this would only work for me if I kept one notebook for writing and one for doodling, because the instant I'm done writing, that page is filled with random little lines and swirls and drawings.
Seems like everything he says would qualify as ridiculous under those rules.
Bruh, I know wtf kiwifarms is. I just don't see why I should care about Leni anymore. Weren't they removed from moderator positions anyway?
Why does this matter? Are they even still around?
As indicated by the following paragraph, no. Which is a shame, but again, completely believable. He has said similar things in the past.
You could also demand to see the kerrygold's papers, and then leave with it.
It's so funny I thought it was from a sitcom! Thank you!
I've seen variants on this meme many times. What is it from?
I am living for these posts! Thank you!
There are over 1,000 pokemon. I think it's a Tolkien situation- where famously, you can't write fantasy without using ingredients that Tolkien created, because if you do, obviously it's from Tolkien, and if you didn't, the reader is asking why not? That kinda deal.
If you set out to create a game involving collecting, or even looking at and cataloguing, a bunch of different fantasy creatures, you're going to have some that are at least a little similar to pokemon. The electibuzz/grizzbolt example you gave is a fantastic one. You're claiming it's stolen, but that there is a cat creature with a single lightning bolt in it's belly. Versus a... monkeything? Covered in them. My point here being, even if they didn't steal (which, I'm sure they did, there are other, better examples) at a certain point you have to accept that with 1,000 pokemon, there's going to be overlap, so you either need to just be up front about the stealing, or you need to spend 5x the amount of development time making sure none of your creatures have overlap.
Personally, Pokemon has been around for more than 25 years. Even if they released a million games a year, they shouldn't get to gatekeep 'all creature-collection simulators that you use balls for and that you can ride like a dragon.' Fuck that. They got infinite money back on their initial investment, and they shouldn't be allowed to just own the ideas. This is the kind of bullshit that makes me (a lifelong pokemon fan) want to never, ever, ever give them money again.
