Its sad as fuck imo. Yet I completely get it, because whoever is still a Pokemon fan has to be insane by this point.
Yeah I like pokemon as a concept because of nostalgia but every time I try and give any of the new stuff a chance I get super disappointed. I'm not sure why anyone is still obsessed with it.
If the internet has taught me anything, it's that every fandom has it's insanely toxic element. Especially every game fandom.
Out of all the possible targets for raging enough to threaten death, people making games are the target? Jfc
Yeah, I don't think I'm ever going to understand people who take time out of their day to write death threats to anyone. I guarantee whatever you don't like about someone, that's not the solution. You will be ignored at best and arrested or killed yourself at worst. Just, damn... idk. This stuff isn't new to me or anything, but the mental gymnastics it takes to get there are just foreign to me and they only get more foreign as time goes on.
Welcome to the internet? I have gotten those too.
Unless they can demonstrate they are credible threats, this is just 'today on the internet'.
To lend credibility to your comment, I've decided to issue you my own death wish.
I hope that when your time comes that you're able to die swiftly and painlessly with dignity and the knowledge that you were enough. If you have family, I hope you're surrounded by their love and warmth. If you have money, I hope it positively influences future generations in ways that honor your past. May your days be numerous and your memory cherished in your absence.
Fuck that I wanna die from taking a direct 155mm shell to the face in the civil war after taking a dozen fascists with me
If that's your version of dying with dignity and pride, then I hope against all hope for you to get that. Might I also suggest that you read about Buckey O'Neill.
May I introduce you to NonCredible Defense? You seem like you would fit in well!
Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !noncredibledefense@sh.itjust.works
Dude I'll find out where you live and come over to mildly inconvenience you! Just you watch out!
I know this isn't what you were alluding to, but this doesn't make it ok. We should be better than that. These people, as far as I know, have not done anything to deserve death, and disagreeing with somebody is not valid justification.
You better watch it buddy. I hope you die surrounded by kittens and puppies full of bliss and happiness at a life well lived.
This seems more like a death wish.
I am going to train a hamster to hunt you down and gnaw your legs off.
I'm going to kill you.
With kindness.
If people were this vehement when Game Freak regurgitates new Pokemon game maybe we'd get something good out of them. Instead they waste their energy this way...
People keep complaining about multiplayer issues but I've been playing with my friend over satellite Internet and have had no performance issues or crashes at all
Looks like Admiral ad blocker.
Anyone able to link an archived version or a summary?
Palworld is a popular monster catching and survival game that has sold over 5 million copies since its release. However, the game's developers have received death threats from upset Pokémon fans who believe the monster designs have been plagiarized from Pokémon. The CEO of Palworld's studio addressed these threats on Twitter, asking people to stop harassing the development team. While some clear similarities exist between Palworld and Pokémon monsters, the future of the game still looks bright if technical issues can be resolved and new content added over time. Overall, Palworld seems to have found great commercial success, but its popularity has also led to some unfortunate harassment of its creators from a minority of Pokémon fans.
