    #AShortHike does this so good!

    I used to be an elitist about game difficulty, but as I get older I've developed a great appreciation for #CozyGames that don't expect you to actually need to try that hard.

    #BugSnax comes to mind as well here. Loved that game.

  3. #News out of #Nintendo's #patent #lawsuit against #PocketPair, alleging the #GameMechanics of #Palworld are too similar to #Pokemon.

    We now know the main #patents, all filed in #Japan earlier this year after PalWorld's release...

    (Reminder that #IAmNotALawyer)

    No. 7493117 involves #collision and #pathfinding, and seems to be mostly related to trainer battles and entering battle by throwing one Pokemon at another. It's not clear to me how this is novel or unique enough for a lawsuit.

    No. 7528390 involves player characters mounting creatures and riding them around. As Pokemon is far from the only, first, or even a game with this mechanic for more than a few years, I don't see how they can claim this.

    No. 7545191 is the #PokeBall thing, which #PalBalls are very similar to, so much I was surprised they did that at the game's release (#Bugsnax at least used a non-spherical trap), but again, I'm not sure how this is unique or innovative enough for a lawsuit.

  5. Thinking more about #Nintendo's #PalWorld #lawsuit, which claims that many of the mechanics, such as the #PalBall, are too similar to #Pokemon's mechanics, like the #PokeBall.

    Wondering if it would be a good idea for #PocketPair to take a cue from #BugSnax, and replace the "ball" with a cyllindrical "trap". Perhaps they can take inspiration from #GhostBusters, and have some sort of energy based trap which opens at the top and sucks the magic monsters in. They should definitely be leaning hard into the #MonsterCollecting genre's roots of #Yokai, #Spirit entities, and #mythological #cryptids.

    They might be able to avoid some damages if they lose this or have to settle in a few years by just changing up a few aesthetics, and I think the game itself would benefit from this: I personally think the Pal Ball looks odd and out of place as a mechanic, like it's just there to copy Pokemon.

    Then again, changing things might be an admission of guilt? I'm not a lawyer.

  11. J'ai beaucoup apprécié Bugsnax, un jeu étonnant, avec des graphismes et un univers qui sembleraient enfantins alors que c'est un jeu finalement assez adulte. Les personnages sont bien écrits et interprétés, le gameplay est original et évolutif : en bref, une belle réussite, avec un joli message et des personnages queers… que demander de plus ?

  13. Just finished #JourneyToTheSavagePlanet yesterday, a fun and quick little romp. My "completionist-ish" run took 19 hours over a few days; I missed some scans but kept my sanity.

    #RaccoonLogic did a great job with their premier release. Hilarious writing, fun level design, neat little toys. It reminded me a lot of #Bugsnax honestly, lots of heart.

    It's refreshing to play a game that respects your time the way this one did, I just wish I had gotten to check out the #coop features in the game.

  14. OK, decided to give #Bugsnax another try this morning.
    Still have to figure out the best at play through for my #HouseOfAshes gaming. Do want to get to the 💯 100% with that game as well. It's gonna take some more hours, I'm sure 😉
    But now, some bugs here and there. I even got myself a trophy just now. 😊

  16. Played the start of #Bugsnax.
    It's silly.
    It's fun.
    Catching the snax is like solving puzzles.
    It's well thought of...
    But when your reaction time is bad, it can be challenging for sure!

    Played it on #PS5.

  18. I'll be honest, I've found a youtu.be vid of #Bugsnax and a rollen through a bit. I tried some things to catch a bug. Didn't work. Looked it up. Vid did the same thing as I tried. I try again, and now it works?! 😂
    It's *definitely* a weird game 😂
    But I'm weird too, so I'll play some more...

    IBS seems to be calmer now... Yay for that. Just so you know 😉

  19. Alright, #Bugsnax you say? Let's see then...
    Need a game I can easily pause because tou know, reasons 😉 and this one came recommended... I liked the preview when they announced it. So looking forward to trying it myself.

  24. The biggest trap you can fall into as a writer, critic and "fan" is to 'fixfic' the fiction on wiki page entries. Even my conclusion that Triffany's nihilism stems from her inability to cope with the unknown fate of her grandmother is just...fanfic. It could be just how Triffy always is. Eitherway it makes no sense Floofty dislikes Triffany's "cheerfulness" in some sorta goth vs prep way when Triffany is like "haha dead people just like us soon donchakno?". #Bugsnax #WikiWriting

  26. The only GOOD character page is still Wiggle - it is so much work to write it all out and source check...so most page additions are still somewhere in my sandboxes. Triffany's personality section was clearly not by my hand as an experiences (wiki) writer does not use such excess in biggering bickering. As half of this did not grasp her character - and I just read up on nihilism variants - I decided to edit it directly on the page for now. #Bugsnax #WikiWriting
