Nope, my bad. Im far from an expert but know enough to differential between copyright and parent. I didn't know that prior art had that meaning.

Once again. Patents have nothing to do with art. And even if they had proof they worked on those mechanics before Nintendo patented them doesn't mean they have the right to use it. Yes, it's kinda a dumb system. But there is a lot of effort to get a patent, and once you have one you have a lot of protection because of it.
It's a patent case. It has nothing to do with the creative design of the games.
But yes. Every pokemon is copyrighted. Every pal is copyrighted. (In the US) All creative work is automatically copyrighted to the creator.
You can't copyright "a standing lizard with a small flame on its tail" but you can copyright Charmander. If you copy enough elements that a lay person can't distinguish the original and the copy then it opens it up for a copyright claim.
None of that is relevant in this case.
A patent is to protect a specific invention from being copied. In this case, there is an innovative game mechanic that Nintendo patented has that Palworld copied. The speculation is with throwing an item that captures a character that fights other characters in a 3d space.
The patent is dumb. Personally I don't think it is innovative or special enough to be patented. Patenting software or game mechanic are dumb anyway.
As a native, today was still bad.
You can't have a solution if you ignore half of the problem statement. It's completely unhelpful.
Problem: I want to be able to type better while having long nails.
Your solution: Don't have long nails.
Someone didn't read the article. She addresses exactly this.
I can already hear the trolls making jokes about women being concerned about breaking a nail. If it’s so inconvenient, why not just have short nails? Well, I’m not out here wearing long nails for fun. Being a reviewer often means acting as a part-time hand model for whatever gadget I’m testing. The Internet Nail Police has repeatedly shown up in my comments over the years if my polish is chipped or, god forbid, there’s a smudge of dirt under my natural nail.
Oh cool, I'll have to switch. I've been using Arc for a few months now and really like it, but would rather move away from chromium. I'd been using Firefox for years before that
But guys, if we use agile then we don't need requirements! We just make something and then the customers tell us if we are on the right track, we just get to iTeRaTe
Yup exactly. How do you define successful anyway? It's say that Lemmy is already successful and it's likely to continue to grow.
It's unlikely Lemmy will ever be more successful than Reddit, but it doesn't need to be.
What are you going to do with the other 900mb?
