I Have A Hot Take Today - @next Years Adaptation, Youve Got One Of Two Options

I have a Hot Take™ today - @next year’s adaptation, you’ve got one of two options

A Key:

Distinguished Siblings: My sibling is my bestest friend and they are all I need

Functional Siblings: We fight sometimes but I guess I’d die for them

Disaster Siblings: No officer I’ve never seen this person before in my life

Lawful Siblings: We use our Sibling Magic™ to make the world a better place

Neutral Siblings: We don’t do a lot together but we support each others’ interests

Chaotic Siblings: We will personally co-lead a Revolution to Destroy the Bourgeoisie

🔴New Zealanders put on a powerful display by doing the Haka in solidarity with Palestine

Gonna say this as someone who has been critical of Game Freak both as a fan and as someone with a Pokémon SPIN for a while now:

Do not support Palworld.

The CEO of Pocket Pair, the game’s studio, openly supports AI and even made a game where making AI-generated art is its main mechanic.

Palworld is not Pocket Pair’s first instance of plagiarism, either. Their previous game, Craftopia, plagiarizes Breath of the Wild, whereas as its upcoming game, Never Grave: The Witch and The Curse, plagiarizes from independent developer Team Cherry’s game, Hollow Knight.

On top of stolen character models and concepts from fakemon artists, it’s already known that you can put Pals through what is basically slave labor BUT what’s been recently discovered is that the game allows you to capture and sell humans. This has been raising some red flags for black gamers looking into these mechanics, me included, considering this factors into the established slave labor system of Palworld.

TL;DR: I completely understand being tired of Game Freak and the Pokémon Company’s lack of polish over the years, but supporting something that is just as devoid of polish is not the way to make those criticisms clearer. This will only encourage more soullessness in the industry.

I implore you to support other creature collectors with some real passion behind them; I will reblog this post with recommendations shortly!

so like idk if anybody has pointed this out yet but Undyne’s not just a fish girl.

She’s a dunkleosteus girl.

(its the teeth that give it away.)

Anyway so the dunkleosteus was an ancient predatory armored fish from the Silurian to the Devonian period, with thick bony plates all over its head. She really is an “armor fish” monster!

Able: Wait a minute... Who the fuck did you have in here, why is the seat backed up like that?

Caine:

Able: ... AND WHY DOES THIS CAR SMELL LIKE JAPANESE CHERRY BLOSSOMS!?

Caine:

Able: WHO THE FUCK DID YOU HAVE IN HERE-
