But then I'm also just an easy mark who now has tears well up to "I really want to stay at your house"

My read was he had one motivation - protect the people he cared about, by becoming as strong as he could be esp after losing his mum. But in such a disordered way that he couldn't understand or care that there were limits he would hit, even when the evidence piled up around him.

The thing about "can't be bothered with legal" is that your opinion on that matters a lot less than legal's.

I am once again covering the Palworld lawsuit. Had a great conversation with IP lawyer Kirk Sigmon this week about how game patents work, what's necessary in a patent lawsuit, and how Nintendo might've shown too much of its own ass. A long read, but a good one: www.pcgamer.com/games/surviv...

A crash course in videogame patent law and the legal minefield Nintendo's navigating by suing Pocketpair.

I'm skeptical of the supposed value AI/LLMs bring to legal practice at the best of times, having looked at the tools on offer at the moment. But claiming you can replace lawyers without even checking if your output is anything near the required quality is something else.

Given the American news today I looked up the last execution in NZ, which I discover was in 1957, and it's possible the man didn't murder his wife by poisoning her, but that their farm's water supply had been adulterated by sheep dip. What an extremely on brand mid-century NZ thing to have occurred

Will be following this closely! The article (and most commentary to date) picks up on the similarity in the character designs, which would be a copyright issue. But according to their press release, Nintendo/Pokemon are going after Pocketpair for patent (invention or process) infringement.
