Heng ever since the explosion, Things started to shifted differently. She was taken by Eigong’s care and on some occasions would be checked up by her for any possible "side effects".
One day, on a check up. Heng tells Eigong about her connections to the roots. Wanting to know more about her thoughts about It. She replied Heng saying she has a lot more potential than she knows. deep within her connections to them. She believes they are answers behind their source and not just some superstitions. Seeing how curious Heng is, Eigong offered Heng to study under her wing. Heng grew hesitant at first. However, Curiosity grew at the back of her headand Perhaps she could learn a lot more about herself. And to why was she given this connection to fusang?. Eigong was only doing her a favor. To that she agreed. From then on Heng started to grow a liking to science and learned such things and about, maybe It wasn't as bad as she thought it was. However this would led her to forget her Taoist ways overtime.
It's official Nintendo is literally suing Palworld for patents it made after the release of Palworld.
Yes that's right Nintendo literally created patents after Palworlds release, just to sue Palworld for patent infringement. This is a blatant and unambiguous abuse of patent law that will have reverberating effects on the entire gaming industry if Nintendo wins.
Palworld haters can accuse Palworld of stealing models and copying designs all they want. And even if that were true (which it isn't) nothing Pocket Pair has been accused of is as scummy as this. Nintendo is blatantly using it's power as a billion dollar corporation to intimidate smaller game companies by creating patents just to sue them over. Instead of creating new ideas they are plainly and brazenly trying to prevent the rise of any competition and impose a monopoly over an entire game genre.
I know there are people out their that will defend Nintendo no matter what it does. Nintendo could burn down an orphanage with the kids still trapped inside. And there would be Nintendo fan boys saying those orphans deserved it. But for those of us that are sane, this is beyond disgusting.
Sorry I've been inactive haha take this Amy!! Got really inspired by 1) she doesn't have a super form which is a crime and 2) got inspired by some DB and OPM art ahjdjss
I haven't been able to update on anything for a long time due to exams, I still have some left to do, but I should be able to try and keep posting art and the designs of the sillies soon!
I haven't even presented their designs yet, but here they are, Muffet and Toriel and Toriel and Muffet posing for a picture, they are friends.
So I just took a look at the quote tweets from Pocket Pair's Japanese announcement.
... Holy shit.
So for some background, the general reaction to the lawsuit announcement is pretty spilit but the most vocal people are decrying Nintendo for suing an indie dev like Pocket Pair. Pretty simple reason why, people don't like it when a big corporation starts wielding the law against smaller devs.
...Well, that's a misnomer. Western people don't like that. Or rather, that's their perception of what's going on and thus they have a negative reaction towards Nintendo.
On the Japanese side? The story's completely reversed. People are shitting on Pocket Pair and saying that Nintendo is in the right to do so. Now a lot of people are probably thinking that this is corporate shilling and yes, it is on some level. (Much like how the defense of Palworld is in part shilling for Pocket Pair). And yeah, just like people thinking Nintendo is suing over designs, people are saying Palworld is getting their comeuppence from stealing from Nintendo.
But the majority opinion to their statement (which is translated as follows)-
Today, Nintendo Co., Ltd. and The Pokémon Company announced that they had filed a lawsuit against us for patent infringement.
At this time, we have not received the complaint and have not been able to confirm the other party's claims or the details of the patent rights that have been allegedly infringed. As a result, there are no plans to suspend or change the operation and provision of Palworld.
Once we receive the complaint, we will take the necessary action. We are a small indie game development company based in Tokyo. Our goal has always been to create fun games.
This goal will not change in the future, and we will continue to develop games to bring joy to many gamers. It is unfortunate that this lawsuit may force us to devote more of our time to issues other than game development, but we will do our best to work for our fans and to ensure that indie game developers are not hindered or discouraged from expressing their free ideas.
We apologize for any concern and inconvenience caused to our players and related parties, but we hope that you will continue to enjoy Palworld and support us in the future.
-ranges from:
"Don't drag the indie industry into your shit"
to
"You caused this, you were arrogant: now own it"
to memes mocking them for bringing up the indie bit with a handful defending Pocket pair/attacking Nintendo
If you haven't noticed it- this is almost the exact OPPOSITE reaction in the english speaking world.
It's really shocking to see such a stark contrast on a situation where everyone seemingly has the same info. A friend of mine thinks this is due to a difference in focus between the two groups. The English side sees Palworld as competition for Pokemon to force innovation while the Japanese side sees Palworld as creatively bankrupt.
I think it goes deeper than that, down to the core of the two cultures.
Let's be real, most of the people defending Palworld in the English side are likely Americans. And Americans are, by our nature, disdainful of authority and see more moral legitimacy in the underdog. It fits with our own founding story with teh Revolutionary War and the Founders against the corrupt and powerful Britan, leading us to be a highly individualist culture with such a disdain for big entities.
On the other hand, Japan is a culture defined heavily by respect for authority and the morality being with the leaders. They, to the best of my knowledge, value social cohesion and unity above the individual. The reason why so many main characters coming from Japan feel like bland self-insert MCs is actually because they're made to appeal to people who want to mesh well with others and interact without conflict (a sharp contrast to Americans who value heroes CLASHING with others).
By our very cultures, we view the same situation in opposing ways because our cultures, due to growing from such massively different circumstances, are effectively polar opposites. To us, it's the big bad corporation bulling the noble underdog. To them (as much as I can assume), it's the slimy thief getting caught by the big noble man and getting his just desserts. Yet we still react the same way- with chaotic scrambling to justify our viewpoints while widely refusing nuance and paitence.
This is just simply fascinating to me. It's always so intriguing to see how America's and Japan's opposing values clash with each other, showing human beings react the same way but saying different words.
It just goes to show how different yet alike we are. It also goes to the core principle of who this was advertised for. Palworld was made to cash in on the American audience like how Sonic did.
