    They appear in one of my stories. But I hadn't heard that story about them.

    As we started up the hill, the tsukumogami revelers resumed singing and dancing. Joined by prancing, ever-flowing jugs of sake chased by minute, shabby monks with sake cups for hats. It reminded me of a scene from a movie Ume had made me watch, “Who Framed Roger Rabbit,” when the hero is in Toontown. An image that was only strengthened when the kodama resumed singing.

  4. 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.

If you are pulling grass and you get a cut and you wonder what happened, if you think, ‘Oh, it is just a yōkai,’ you feel calmer.” | via The New York Times japantimes.co.jp/life/2023/04/ #life #lifestyle #yokai #naoshima #folklore #shodoshima #monster #setosea
