Palworld ditches Pokéball-style summoning mechanic amid Nintendo legal battle
  • If you really downvoted because you thought it was off topic then I think you used the button correctly, but in that case I'd just disagree with what is off topic. A thread about pokemon and palworld and I'm commenting comparing the two doesn't feel like a stretch to me but, eh.

    Doesn't change my opinion about people downvoting though. My experience overall has been very similar to reddit, which makes sense considering the huge migration from there to here.

    Now we're pretty far off topic though, so have a nice day.

  • Palworld ditches Pokéball-style summoning mechanic amid Nintendo legal battle
  • I did read the article and I do know why the lawsuit is happening, at least what's been reported, as I've read a few articles about it. I'm not hiding behind anything, and people are free to disagree with me.

    A reminder that all I said at first was that I was surprised to find out just how much they were ripping off Pokémon, and what I was referring to (but not clearly) were in many of the designs and the brazen pokeballs. I didn't comment on the lawsuit at all, at first.

  • Don't really agree with the top pic at all, but some of the comparisons in the bottom one are interesting. Some are slay a really big stretch I think, but I do see why people would compare. I think if Enix went after Nintendo in the early nineties I could get behind them on a couple of these, but that ship has sailed a long time ago.

    Still going to disagree about the Dragon Ball comparison. Not really seeing any comparison between those two.

  • In the era of remakes and remasters, what niche game would you like to see receive the treatment?

    In the era of remakes and remasters, what niche game would you like to see receive the treatment?

    I know that remakes and remasters are contentious, but let's pretend whatever game in question you're thinking of is handled with the utmost care by your favourite devs and they absolutely nail it.

    Mine would be Shadow of Memories (called Shadow of Destiny in North America). It's legitimately one of my favourite games of all time but it kinda flew under the radar and I haven't met many people who know of it let alone played it. Seeing it get modern graphics, maybe some expanded mechanics, would be soooo cool.

    (dnd 5e) Prove me wrong, RAW

    Disclaimer: this is purposefully obtuse.

    Other effects in the game which explicitly state they kill you:

    Shadows, succubi, massive damage, death saving throws, beholder death ray (notably not even their disintegration ray kills you), power word kill, vampires, mind flayers, night hags, drow inquisitors.

    Clearly, if they intended for disintegration to kill you, they'd have said so. Since specific overrides general, and there is no general rule that disintegrated creatures are dead, I rest my case. QED.

    Advice wanted: Combining current solutions into one home server

    I currently have a hodgepodge of solutions for my hosting needs. I play ttrpgs online, so have two FoundryVTT servers hosted on a pi. Then I have a second pi that is hosting Home Assistant. I then also have a synology device that is my NAS and hosts my Plex server.

    I'm looking to build a home server with some leftover parts from a recent system upgrade that will be my one unified server doing all the above things in the same machine. A NAS, hosting a couple Foundry instances, home assistant, and plex/jellyfin.

    My initial research has me considering Unraid. I understand that it's a paid option and am okay with paying for convenience/good product. I'm open to other suggestions from this community.

    The real advice I'm hoping to get here is a kind of order of operations. Assume I have decided on the OS I want to use for my needs, and my system is built. What would you say is the best way going about migrating all these services over to the new server and making sure that they are all reachable by web?
