I just have to clarify, the line in Hamilton about writing essays is, "John Jay got sick after writing five. James Madison wrote twenty-nine. HAMILTON WROTE THE OTHER FIFTY-ONE!"
SO MUCH respect for Connor saying something about negative engagement farming around 01:20:00. I think that is one of the drivers of what is making people so much more vile towards each other.
1:27:28 This. This is really all the Palworld stuff is about. People realized that a survival, base-building, creature-capture game (That isn't 100gb) is actually something they never knew they always wanted!
20:50 that makes so much sense. I’ve always been so confused in these slice of life anime whether there’s a 5 or 6 day school week, but not enough to fact check between shows.
Joey said they changed it recently to 5-day a week. In india, you not only go to 6 day a week for school, you are also taking tuitions (commonly referred to as coaching in India). And they abuse the shit out of you. They just don't care and they call you on Sundays too especially if you are preparing for competitive exams. On top of that, if you want to know the hell these coaching institutes and schools put on 13-14-15-16 year olds, including beating them so much so they pass out, you can just search them on TH-cam. It's fucked in India for the students.
Huh? What state do you live in??, We get maybe a few working Saturday's if we have extra portions or an event and no-one takes extra coaching, maybe an hour or 2 of tuition on a few days of the week@@jatinchanchlani8982
Muay Thai fights are legit crazy in person. Wife and I went to one during Thailand Honeymoon and we saw this guy do 4 face punches at his opponent so quick that he was on the mat before we knew what happened...
As an artist, it genuinely makes my heart sing to hear that you guys care about where art is coming from and how it is made, and I hope that this stance is more common than it seems. Could almost bring me to tears knowing that people do care
The sad reality is that most people just want to consume, they dont want to see the ugly side of business. Its not just art, its everything we consume or use these days. How many people buy new iPhones every year, when we all know in the back of our heads that they are made by semi-slaves. How many people eat junkfood, when we all know how much the animals we feast on must have suffered? Its shitty consumerism, all of it. We love to say we care, but we only do as far as it does not negatively impact our day to day comfy life.

I think youtube comments are the same.

Garnt underestimates weight, height, range, and muscle density differences; there is a reason why in fighting sports they have to divide fighters into weight classes. I think if you are a tall adult with lots of stamina you certainly can deck at least ten-fifteen 8 years old
You might want to reimagine how many kids can surround you, how many you can knock out before they anchor you down. 30kg per kid, one in each foot and youre halfway to the ground.
@@teguhlg That's assuming you are trapped in one enclosed area, in an open field you can totally use the hit-and-run strat. As an adult, you are certainly faster than an 8-years-old, and the 8-years-old must have differences in speed for each individual as well, so by running you are effectively dividing the kids, when you are far enough from the majority of them just turn back and surprised deck the one closest to you. Also, at 8 years old, kids haven't fully developed their muscle mass yet, so their attacks are way weaker than adults, if you have protection to your weak points then I think you can tank quite a lot of hits. Anyway, why the hell am I planning the strat to deck as many kids as I can? I swear I'm against violence toward kids.
@@mayoactual2065 this is honestly the one criticism of hazbin i understand the least, but i can't really debate it because its entirely subjective. I just almost never find the dialogue cringy.
For me is fun af that they discuss about the 8 year olds, because between my friend group, whenever there is someone new or hanging out with different people, we tend to ask "how many waves of 5 children between 6 to 8 years of age can u take on in a fight to death" .
I think you working with kids kind of holds you back because it’s already ingrained in you to hold back, but if you don’t hold back and have a straight black heart, any average adult should be able to take minimum 15…
The "I want it to be popular but not mainstream" is how I felt about lethal company.. My group of friends is always trying new games and mostly not popular, so we played the game the second day it got released since we liked the previous game that the dev released
I've been interested in Hazbin Hotel since the pilot. The casting controversy occurred because of the studio wanting a more musical cast, which I would say they 100% got, the actors they hired are top class. The second controversy is from episode 4. That episode is about the contract sinners make with more powerful sinners, it has SA, which twitter folk think is fetishized, which it isn't.

It's also only some fans that are hating on it, the entire og cast is fine with it because it was always transparent that this would happen for a while and they undrstand how it works.
I don't think that's an issue. There are so many quality fakemon artists that create amazing designs everyday. The Palworld devs intentionally designed their creatures too close to Pokemon designs to get the negative publicity. Disrespectful but a big dick move.
@@irvingrojas9827 and since it's almost been 3 years since the announcement trailer came out then there's likely no grounds for legal repercussions. If Nintendo does go through the legal route then they'd go into Shakey territory of "owning" or copyrighting concepts
I am a big advocate for appreciating how art is made! The sole fact that I know Disney animations, Cartoons and Anime are hand-drawn puts those shows above any other kind of show/series/film. AI art and at some point, animation, will never relieve this kind of love, at least not from me.
Lewis Brindley, the co-founder of The Yogscast, people-watches all the time like a proud father. There was a semi-candid moment where he was just looking over the railing behind a stage during their 2019 convention. So proud of Meilyne for creating GeexPlus, crazy how it all started from a competition
The interesting thing about Pal world is that the only reason Nintendo is looking into it, is because a bunch of their fans kept pestering them to look into it. They didn't care
I’ve been listening to the Highlights for a while and decided to actually subscribe and download a full episode of their podcast. This episode was my “First” full podcast 😂 Did not expect the “How many kids could you fight?”
alright time for the hazbin hotel defense of swearing. its really two points 1. everyday awareness and 2 . media censorship. 1 since everyday most people hear more swears than sailors some dont even notice unless its a certain character or pointed out, for example alistor is an old timely radio host and as such refrains from swearing so when he does you know its a "big" thing 2. because cursing in American tv is reduced as much as possible hearing it in other places seems abnormal because theirs a HUGE emphasis on it for when it does happen in media, hearing it how its casually used is a almost uncanny feeling how your not used to it so it doesnt sit right
regarding Palworld using AI: The AI needed to do the things people claim it did? It Didn't Exist when PocketPair first started showing off the game elements in question. Also, There's a video floating around by a US copyright lawyer who played the game and generally concluded that under US law (not actually relevant, Japanese law is the relevant bit) there's no infringment. Oh, and the CEO of PocketPair, at least, has said that they specifically got appropriate legal council to make absolutely sure they weren't actually going to get in legal trouble.
Exactly and the announcement trailer was released almost 3 years ago in June of 2021. If they actually stole intellectual property, Nintendo would be in Pocket Pair's Ass before June ended. It's only now when the game got released and received massive praise that Twitter freaks and Ark/Pokemon fanatics started crying and throwing temper tantrums saying the praise was "undeserved"
@@luisiana1121 To a point yeah, but if it was to become an actual somewhat big lawsuit, which I feel like wont happen at this point, they would have to wait until it released to be able to get 'proof' of there being theft etc. It is also very relevant to how popular it would get. Had it released and flopped, while Nintendo is crazy with jumping on legal threats with even small fan projects (which I think most of them are probably because they use the pokemon name and look very good so nintendo gets salty, even if its entirely free and non profit), the chance of legal action would be way lower if it had flopped versus the success it has gotten. 'excusing' the hate purely on crying and throwing temper tantrums feels kind of bad faith. Of course it's only getting the discourse purely because of the amount of the success it got, had it flopped and gotten negative reviews nobody would've cared. There are definetely many people who doesn't genuinely care about it and only act like they do because its topical and a lot of people are talking about it, but that doesn't mean that nobody has valid critque and concerns about it. In the end to me it looks incredibly lazy and a lot of the games feels incredibly copied without any love to it, do I think theres case for a lawsuit? maybe but idk im not a lawyer, do I care about nintendo? not really, fuck those guys, they tend to make many cool games but as a company they're assholes. It just doesn't interest me and thus I won't buy it, if you enjoy it then hell yeah, happy you're having fun
@@torrix4593 when did I excuse the hate? I only said my observations on how weird the fanatics and twitter freaks are crying and throwing tantrums almost 3 years later and not when the game got announced almost 3 years prior.
@@luisiana1121 I clearly wrote it as 'excusing' to show that it's not directly an excuse but boiling it down to that being the only reasing, which you again are doing.
It's so refreshing to listen to you talk about Palworld and the issue of AI/how media is made in general. I have zero interest in anime but keep following you guys talk about life, and I am glad you approach topics like this with an open AND critical mind. Kudos to Connor for actually caring where your games come from and how they are made by the work of REAL PEOPLE. Wishing you dudes just the best for your personal lives as well as your careers!
I support my man Joey on this whole cinema thing. BRING BACK MOVIE INTERMISSIONS!! At least as an option like one screening in the theater has this movie with an intermission 😂
53:18 I feel like Hazbin has the problem where it's trying to be so adult that the writers think having the characters swear after every other word automatically makes it "adult."
listening to joey compliment personas Ui just reminds me of my university lecturer who is a UI expert talking about how "bad" persona's UI is. Her main point was that it wasn't very efficient and hard to navigate, did not care about the style at all.
I'm honestly intrigued at why she thought it was inefficient? I can not say for p3R, however it never once felt awkward or weird navigating menus in Persona 5. In fact I'd say they perfectly nailed the balance between responsive and stylish. It seems to me like the opinion of someone who has only seen screenshots of the menus and judged it without once interacting with it, expecting boring and perfect alignments for "efficiency's" sake. I'm sure a website would need that but this is not a website, it's a videogame.
@@amasirat UI ideas differ between cultures. Western web UI assume the user is a moron, and give big arrows to the one spot they're supposed to click most often. Eastern web UI assumes the user is an expert at where's waldo and just dumps 4 dozen text links on screen and you have to pick out the one that is important without any hints. There might be a significant different in expectation of information density and paths to important things.
I have played some games with truly awful UI. Persona is not one of them. It may not be as informative as other games and leans towards style more so than function but never once did it feel bad or even just ok.
Joey saying Lifmunk is "literally just leafeon" is the same as every single die-hard pokemon fan complaining about it. Looks absolutely nothing like it, it's just green and plant related. Game Freak doesn't own the concept of grass, other people can make plant monsters that are green, they don't own that. As we've seen from Nintendo's ACTUAL actions, took less than a day for them to DMCA and threaten legal actions against a free pokemon reskin mod for the game but they have made a total of ZERO moves against the actual game.
The issue with the 8yo fight, in the same way that in a lot of ancient warfare, the best thing to do was make the enemy retreat, as that's where most deaths would occur. So I mean if you can deck a kid in a single hit, surely you'll make enough of them question their life choices.
@@jesseincognito. Potentially, though I think survival instinct is also generally a very strong force, for most people I at least imagine, stronger. Though to clarify looking back on my comment, doesn't mean infinite scaling, I just imagine the scaling would be to the point where 1 kid being decked would be visible to all other kids in the vicinity. A large enough grouping would negate that.
Fun fact: In Brazilian Portuguese the word "pal" is often read as [pau], which is slang for the male reproductive organ, leading to an inordinate amount of dumb jokes and terrible puns
Hearing connor talk about palworld and consumers view on art was a really nice listen, i'd love to hear the opinions you guys have for obscure games or anime you play and watch, listening to the group talk about something i have no idea about is really fun.
Just gonna throw this out there, Pal world is way more of a Ark copy then pokemon mechanically. Because ark even has the dino spheres that also work like that. Spheres are used for most monster catching games typically cause its a areodynamic object.
I've beat 5 different Final Fantasy games but far as shooters I've only extensively played things like OW, PUBG, maybe some Quake back in the day so he's not 100% wrong about the lack of fan overlap.
I think palworld is fine. The entire gaming industry at its core is copying and transforming the ideas of others, there was a time when shooters were called doomlikes, in spite of the fact of doom being a reskin of wolfenstein. DOTA being born as a warcraft mod and then league copying dota, Team Fortress starting as a half life mod before TF2 and then people said Overwatch was copying that, Terraria being called a minecraft clone, ARK being called a rust clone even though both of those are copying DayZ, it's all clones all the way down and palworld is just the latest target of faux outrage, because it's popular.
Playing Persona 3 is quite similar to Persona 4 with its gameplay, but I feel like it's a lot more streamlined & easy to get into. I remember that combining Personas in P4G was like damn rocket science, going between 10 different tabs. Here it's like 2-3 tabs. It's made so easy for you. Also the dungeon reset/teleport mechanic didn't confuse the shit out of me like P4G's dungeon mechanic did.
when Connor said "Can I throw them into the wall?" why was the first depiction I got from that was when naruto threw sasuke into the mountain face in their last fight haha
I don’t think anything could ever be the “wake up call” Gamefreak needs, Pokémon is so gargantuan compared to any other modern media outlet that it’ll never feel pressured by anything that might be seen as such by the public. People having this conversation never stop to think, realistically speaking, how many sales or potential sales will this take from Pokémon? The thing is, pal world will probably get more people to play actual Pokémon, if for no other reason than just to bash it. Which is fine, Pokémon is a shell of what it once was, I just don’t think Pokémon will ever be overthrown at this point
1:15:42 the whole argument of "plagirisim" is honestly terrible because there are SO MANY carbon copies of other games that you can argue that they're the same. Games i think of are windbound (which is like a mix of windwaker and BoTW), temtem (basically an online pokemon game), nexomon (another pokemon copy), code vein (anime dark souls), wild hearts (monster hunter copy). There are so many games that look/feel like other games because developers were inspired. So for people to be pissy about palworld being "plagirised" is an understatement
I don't know what it is, but it cracked me up seeing Connor close his eyes to drink water at 1:40:35 hahaha cause as far as I'm aware I've never closed my eyes drinking LMAO it feels too dramatic, is it just me? hahahaha

they dont even watch new anime you expect them to keep up with gaming news
It was even announced back in June 2021. This did not just came out of nowhere people just didn't bat an eye to the game
Damn, I can't believe you all forsaw Palworld becoming the #1 played game \s
Which means that Nintendo had enough time to sue palword if they saw a lot of plagiarism. We all know they don't play
@@irvingrojas9827 and since it's almost been 3 years since the announcement trailer came out then there's likely no grounds for legal repercussions. If Nintendo does go through the legal route then they'd go into Shakey territory of "owning" or copyrighting concepts
I am a big advocate for appreciating how art is made! The sole fact that I know Disney animations, Cartoons and Anime are hand-drawn puts those shows above any other kind of show/series/film. AI art and at some point, animation, will never relieve this kind of love, at least not from me.
Joey looking like TheMilitaryMan with that haircut
Lewis Brindley, the co-founder of The Yogscast, people-watches all the time like a proud father. There was a semi-candid moment where he was just looking over the railing behind a stage during their 2019 convention.
So proud of Meilyne for creating GeexPlus, crazy how it all started from a competition
The whole, "the only anime is shonen" reminds me of the Spiderman fans dont know what Baldurs Gate 3 is fiasco from the game awards 😂
1:20:05 Connor just describes the absolute state of news and journalism for the past 50 years.
Joey giving Wonder Egg Priority vibes with that sweater 🎉
OH MY GOD YES
its from cyberpunk edgerunners
@@IWantToStayAtYourHouseit is?
@@matthew_natividad yeah read the logo it says edgerunners
The interesting thing about Pal world is that the only reason Nintendo is looking into it, is because a bunch of their fans kept pestering them to look into it. They didn't care
Okay, Joey sold me. Persona 3 sounds absolutely incredible
Same. Was gonna wait for a sale but might just cop this one it sounds amazing
@@IWantToStayAtYourHouse I got into the persona franchise through the soundtracks tbh. This game was a pleasant surprise.
I’ve been listening to the Highlights for a while and decided to actually subscribe and download a full episode of their podcast. This episode was my “First” full podcast 😂 Did not expect the “How many kids could you fight?”
Welcome! You are in for a treat, my dude
Persona 5 had school on Saturdays, too.
Ya but....Persona 5 Royal didn't have it
I never knew Japan had a 6 day school week
Persona Royal does have school on Saturday
Wait what? I remember playing normal persona 5, there was 2 day offs in a week
alright time for the hazbin hotel defense of swearing. its really two points 1. everyday awareness and 2 . media censorship.
1 since everyday most people hear more swears than sailors some dont even notice unless its a certain character or pointed out, for example alistor is an old timely radio host and as such refrains from swearing so when he does you know its a "big" thing
2. because cursing in American tv is reduced as much as possible hearing it in other places seems abnormal because theirs a HUGE emphasis on it for when it does happen in media, hearing it how its casually used is a almost uncanny feeling how your not used to it so it doesnt sit right
The song Garnt was talking about was Non Stop where Hamilton wrote THE OTHER FIFTY ONE!!
how does he write like he's running out of time
44:41 I didn’t know Apothecary Diaries was on Connor’s radar
I wonder what he thinks about it
my fav maids never fail on friday's
1 shirt = 3800 rupees. Brother, that can feed a small family for a month here. what are you talking about?
regarding Palworld using AI: The AI needed to do the things people claim it did? It Didn't Exist when PocketPair first started showing off the game elements in question.
Also, There's a video floating around by a US copyright lawyer who played the game and generally concluded that under US law (not actually relevant, Japanese law is the relevant bit) there's no infringment.
Oh, and the CEO of PocketPair, at least, has said that they specifically got appropriate legal council to make absolutely sure they weren't actually going to get in legal trouble.
Who cares about the legality honestly, the game is creatively bankrupt af (as is the company, christ just look up Craftopia).
Exactly and the announcement trailer was released almost 3 years ago in June of 2021. If they actually stole intellectual property, Nintendo would be in Pocket Pair's Ass before June ended. It's only now when the game got released and received massive praise that Twitter freaks and Ark/Pokemon fanatics started crying and throwing temper tantrums saying the praise was "undeserved"
@@luisiana1121 To a point yeah, but if it was to become an actual somewhat big lawsuit, which I feel like wont happen at this point, they would have to wait until it released to be able to get 'proof' of there being theft etc. It is also very relevant to how popular it would get. Had it released and flopped, while Nintendo is crazy with jumping on legal threats with even small fan projects (which I think most of them are probably because they use the pokemon name and look very good so nintendo gets salty, even if its entirely free and non profit), the chance of legal action would be way lower if it had flopped versus the success it has gotten.
'excusing' the hate purely on crying and throwing temper tantrums feels kind of bad faith. Of course it's only getting the discourse purely because of the amount of the success it got, had it flopped and gotten negative reviews nobody would've cared. There are definetely many people who doesn't genuinely care about it and only act like they do because its topical and a lot of people are talking about it, but that doesn't mean that nobody has valid critque and concerns about it.
In the end to me it looks incredibly lazy and a lot of the games feels incredibly copied without any love to it, do I think theres case for a lawsuit? maybe but idk im not a lawyer, do I care about nintendo? not really, fuck those guys, they tend to make many cool games but as a company they're assholes. It just doesn't interest me and thus I won't buy it, if you enjoy it then hell yeah, happy you're having fun
@@torrix4593 when did I excuse the hate? I only said my observations on how weird the fanatics and twitter freaks are crying and throwing tantrums almost 3 years later and not when the game got announced almost 3 years prior.
@@luisiana1121 I clearly wrote it as 'excusing' to show that it's not directly an excuse but boiling it down to that being the only reasing, which you again are doing.
"Is Hazbin Hotel good?"
Definitely good for me
I wish Garnt and Joey knew how Mitsuru looks in P4Arena man was that a hot glow up
Loved the deeper talk towards the later half of the podcast and enjoyed the boys insight on how to view the world and the internet
Garnt was literally: “you guys are getting paid” meme
Hi, speaking for the Hazbin Hotel community here. It’s cool that Grant wasn’t that interested in our show.
Thanks for giving it a chance though 👍🏻
Joey hitting us with that 2006 Ray William Johnson cut

Honestly the vs the 8 kids convo is something every guy has said in group and it’s hilarious everytime
It's so refreshing to listen to you talk about Palworld and the issue of AI/how media is made in general. I have zero interest in anime but keep following you guys talk about life, and I am glad you approach topics like this with an open AND critical mind. Kudos to Connor for actually caring where your games come from and how they are made by the work of REAL PEOPLE. Wishing you dudes just the best for your personal lives as well as your careers!
In regards to parents going to your sports games/fights: I played hockey until I was 18, the one game my mom missed I broke my wrist. Lmao
As a Hazbin fan I'm honestly just surprised one of them had seen it.
I support my man Joey on this whole cinema thing.
BRING BACK MOVIE INTERMISSIONS!!
At least as an option like one screening in the theater has this movie with an intermission 😂
The most based take in this episode is how Twitter/X has devolved into a cesspole of hate and false information.
i'm slowly using twitter less and less now and honestly, it's very rewarding 😊
53:18 I feel like Hazbin has the problem where it's trying to be so adult that the writers think having the characters swear after every other word automatically makes it "adult."
listening to joey compliment personas Ui just reminds me of my university lecturer who is a UI expert talking about how "bad" persona's UI is. Her main point was that it wasn't very efficient and hard to navigate, did not care about the style at all.
I'm honestly intrigued at why she thought it was inefficient? I can not say for p3R, however it never once felt awkward or weird navigating menus in Persona 5. In fact I'd say they perfectly nailed the balance between responsive and stylish. It seems to me like the opinion of someone who has only seen screenshots of the menus and judged it without once interacting with it, expecting boring and perfect alignments for "efficiency's" sake. I'm sure a website would need that but this is not a website, it's a videogame.
Is this lecturer’s focus on video games or general applications?
@@amasirat UI ideas differ between cultures. Western web UI assume the user is a moron, and give big arrows to the one spot they're supposed to click most often. Eastern web UI assumes the user is an expert at where's waldo and just dumps 4 dozen text links on screen and you have to pick out the one that is important without any hints. There might be a significant different in expectation of information density and paths to important things.
your lecturer should play persona 3 then, she might change her mind
I have played some games with truly awful UI. Persona is not one of them. It may not be as informative as other games and leans towards style more so than function but never once did it feel bad or even just ok.
MyTake: Talking about Personal... but lets talk about how many children you can beat. XD
god the haircuts this week jumpscared me so hard
when did joey steal arnold schwarzenegger haircut
Better get that phased plasma rifle
Joey saying Lifmunk is "literally just leafeon" is the same as every single die-hard pokemon fan complaining about it. Looks absolutely nothing like it, it's just green and plant related. Game Freak doesn't own the concept of grass, other people can make plant monsters that are green, they don't own that. As we've seen from Nintendo's ACTUAL actions, took less than a day for them to DMCA and threaten legal actions against a free pokemon reskin mod for the game but they have made a total of ZERO moves against the actual game.
GF doesn't own the concept of grass because if they did, Pokemon fans might actually touch it
I don't know which fandom Garnt is talking about, but the One Piece fandom has never been wholesome.
The issue with the 8yo fight, in the same way that in a lot of ancient warfare, the best thing to do was make the enemy retreat, as that's where most deaths would occur. So I mean if you can deck a kid in a single hit, surely you'll make enough of them question their life choices.
My man over here strategizing how to beat up 8 year olds
Does it matter if they’re enraged?
@@jesseincognito. Potentially, though I think survival instinct is also generally a very strong force, for most people I at least imagine, stronger. Though to clarify looking back on my comment, doesn't mean infinite scaling, I just imagine the scaling would be to the point where 1 kid being decked would be visible to all other kids in the vicinity. A large enough grouping would negate that.
@@t1nytim especially if emotions are involved
Fun fact: In Brazilian Portuguese the word "pal" is often read as [pau], which is slang for the male reproductive organ, leading to an inordinate amount of dumb jokes and terrible puns
Hearing connor talk about palworld and consumers view on art was a really nice listen,
i'd love to hear the opinions you guys have for obscure games or anime you play and watch, listening to the group talk about something i have no idea about is really fun.
Connor going off in this episode!
He really had this locked up inside and let out all his views and opinions about games.
Wait till they find out about Metaphor Re Fantazio
so hyped for that game. I feel like garnt will love it its like persona but isekai
As somebody who trained Muay Thai for the last 5 years I loved hearing them talk about it. Next special they train and fight in Thailand

Just gonna throw this out there, Pal world is way more of a Ark copy then pokemon mechanically. Because ark even has the dino spheres that also work like that. Spheres are used for most monster catching games typically cause its a areodynamic object.
My favorite people talking about P3R, LaD 8, and Hazbin Hotel?! It's a good day to be alive
Joey looks like a lemon😂
60$ for cinema is straight up robbery, that's wayyyy too much
I've beat 5 different Final Fantasy games but far as shooters I've only extensively played things like OW, PUBG, maybe some Quake back in the day so he's not 100% wrong about the lack of fan overlap.
Beat FF 4-9 and the only FPS games I play are CS and L4D2.
Hope there are more of us out there 😅
I turn my attention. "How many 8 year olds can you beat in a fight?"
lol!
I think palworld is fine.
The entire gaming industry at its core is copying and transforming the ideas of others, there was a time when shooters were called doomlikes, in spite of the fact of doom being a reskin of wolfenstein. DOTA being born as a warcraft mod and then league copying dota, Team Fortress starting as a half life mod before TF2 and then people said Overwatch was copying that, Terraria being called a minecraft clone, ARK being called a rust clone even though both of those are copying DayZ, it's all clones all the way down and palworld is just the latest target of faux outrage, because it's popular.
Them talking about how many children they can take is so clippable out of context and can win the award for the Trash Taste Awardw lmao
Playing Persona 3 is quite similar to Persona 4 with its gameplay, but I feel like it's a lot more streamlined & easy to get into.
I remember that combining Personas in P4G was like damn rocket science, going between 10 different tabs. Here it's like 2-3 tabs. It's made so easy for you.
Also the dungeon reset/teleport mechanic didn't confuse the shit out of me like P4G's dungeon mechanic did.
I do feel some things are made too easy but additions like passing the baton is something that I needed that wasn't in p4
when Connor said "Can I throw them into the wall?" why was the first depiction I got from that was when naruto threw sasuke into the mountain face in their last fight haha
I was waiting for this, ran out of content for today
Gant being turned off of Hazbin Hotel by the swearing was a surprise.
I don’t think anything could ever be the “wake up call” Gamefreak needs, Pokémon is so gargantuan compared to any other modern media outlet that it’ll never feel pressured by anything that might be seen as such by the public. People having this conversation never stop to think, realistically speaking, how many sales or potential sales will this take from Pokémon? The thing is, pal world will probably get more people to play actual Pokémon, if for no other reason than just to bash it. Which is fine, Pokémon is a shell of what it once was, I just don’t think Pokémon will ever be overthrown at this point
Hearing Connor talk about the work that goes into games makes me so happy as a 3D artist. Finally somebody online who gets it.

1:15:42 the whole argument of "plagirisim" is honestly terrible because there are SO MANY carbon copies of other games that you can argue that they're the same. Games i think of are windbound (which is like a mix of windwaker and BoTW), temtem (basically an online pokemon game), nexomon (another pokemon copy), code vein (anime dark souls), wild hearts (monster hunter copy). There are so many games that look/feel like other games because developers were inspired. So for people to be pissy about palworld being "plagirised" is an understatement
I’ve 3000 hours on Apex, and I’ve played and completed Final Fantasy 7 Remake, 7 og, 15, 16, Play 14. The FF7 event was wild
