I need to drink less, I think people like me more sober.
Or I'm less hanging on ever post, desperately hoping for a reply to feel self validated, and instead just enjoying myself. Hand to tell, cognitive bias.

Pandora is playing a song called "Funeral March of the Penguin Mafia"

Cool.

What is this I don't even.

Not sure whether 'epic' or 'ungodly stupid'.

Roughly equal parcels of both.

Tempted to do a snark-riddled LP of it, to be perfectly honest.

Hey, what exactly happened to MW's library voraphile?

I've played it, it's free and fun (but not legal, of course).  Don't see anything wrong with it, honestly.

Haven't played it yet, but unless you hate Pokemon or the playerbase is particularly idiotic, I'm not sure why it would be considered "stupid"

basically painting yourself a target for nintendo lawyers, they dont do much for pirating but if you touch their IPs shit hits the fan.

Nintendo would argue that the existance of a Pokemon MMO that they didn't make... Takes away possible sales from the Pokemon MMO they "could" make.

You know the one they obviously won't make.

It is the same arguement made by developers who want to make modding their games illegal... That great mods take away from possible sale of modifying their own game.

Though ok fine... Nintendo would likely just say that it is someone using their intellectual property without their permission and it isn't the harm it does, since really it doesn't do any harm at all, but the principle of the matter and that no one should have such liberty with their property.

Ooh, after that discussion of birth years over in the sad thread... I happen to click on this thread when it's on page 1993.

Nintendo may own Pokemon trademark, but they don't actually own the word "poke" by itself. As long as the game avoids any actual registered trademarks or copyrights it doesn't matter how similar the concept is.

They could go legit if they ensure any actual reference / artwork is removed.

Well, for starters every single Pokémon is a reference, and they're pretty much the only thing keeping the people there.
