VIOLENCE IS UNACCEPTABLE!!!! please ignore that the man whose neck got exploded by a bullet in front of thousands of people was there specifically to advocate for various violences to marginalised people and was quite literally in the middle of a sentence framing trans and black people as dangerous

So: 1) My Nintendo News is sourcing the equivalent of Bounding into Comics for gaming, so grain of salt on that 2) Looking at the actual patent, this looks to be for the new system in S/V where you can throw out a Pokemon and have it battle while you do other stuff Still sucks, but it's narrow use

US: Nintendo and Pokemon Company receive patent on summoning a character and letting it fight another The ability to summon a character and letting it fight another is a core staple in many video games over the years from JRPGs to the Pokemon franchise and lots in-between.

Everyone understands why musicians don't all want to make pop music, but when a game dev targets a specific kind of experience I'm not looking for, it's suddenly a moral failing, not a matter of taste I'm not moving on with my life w/o making sure this dev is Defeated in the court of public opinion

Oh god I'm also going to get pissed off again seeing Accessibility thrown around again like yeah there are some accessibility options that make the game easier, and anyone can use them to make their experience gentler, but like... most of the time it's more like "Let me not give someone a seizure"
