Palworld is $30 on steam. It’s a litttle expensive for an indie game but I’ve gotten my money’s worth already. It’s not perfect but I wasn’t expecting a AAA title. Honestly I’m just impressed multiplayer works as well as it does. I also appreciate that they didn’t shoehorn any awful cutscenes in. No story > bad story. It also runs pretty great, even though my computer is older and I’m using proton/linux.
Compare Pokémon scarlet, $70. Laggy. Unpolished. Missing features from previous games. Unskippable cutscenes with characters just standing around talking to each other. Boring basic story. Nothing to do at the end of the game (no battle tower). No new fun features (the open world feels empty and ugly, compare BotW/TotK). It’s too open, there is no Mt Moon to get lost in.
Even if the team makes no further improvements I’m still having fun with palworld. I don’t see myself ever replaying scarlet.
Right, and is OP saying buying another Pokemon game will make gamefreak actually put effort in? Like why would it work the 10th time when it failed the first 9 times.
Gamefreak doesn't put effort in because they don't have to. Fans will continue to buy them regardless of quality.
I'm playing stuff I actually enjoy like Cassette Beasts. I'm hyped for the upcoming Beastieball too. I tried TemTem but it felt too much "Mobile" for me for a lack of better terms.
I'm pointing out that it's funny to me that fans of Palworld got angry at the very thing Pokémon fans got angry at Gamefreak for (Namely, spreading their team thin on Little Town Hero)
I don't think my buying habbits are going to communicate anything to a company. I buy what looks fun to play. "Real" pokemon games look like a worse and worse buy, and that's just how it is. I don't expect them to change their development cycle at all.
At best, I hope Palworld's (and cassette beast's) success attracts better companies to make their own version. If this lights a fire under gamefreak's butt I will be extremely (and happily) surprised.
breaking zip ties isn't easy... but if you have a paper clip or something, it's a simple mechanism and you can lift the little plastic tab and loosen it...
or melt it with a lighter....
Use the Heisenberg method, bite a lamp cord with your teeth, use the ends to cause a short burning the zip ties and burning the piss out of your wrists. You're then free to go hide your methylamine at your car wash.
turns out it was a coffee maker, too...
if he would've just cut one side and left the other connected, so the current still went through the coffee maker... it probably would've worked as a resistor to keep it from blowing.
if it was actually an incandescent lightbulb it definitely would work...
I use a knife and it's hard enough with that fine point. Unless your zip ties have massive openings and lots of slop it would be impossible with a paper clip.
Yeah full disclaimer: This is a screenshot of something my friend posted and not my experience. I'd imagine it would hurt, but maybe I could practice it with ... a very trusted friend lol
Police “Flexicuffs” are legit, and designed to prevent this technique from working. The ‘smash against hard surface to break’ works on regular zip-ties, the kind a kidnapper or rapist buys from the hardware store
Picking handcuffs is indeed trivial, and basically all models are vulnerable to shimming under the ratchet pawl as well as using the (nearly) universal keys that are cheaply available online
All handcuffs having the same key was actually utilized at stonewall. The leather folks took cabs over when they learned of the riot and started using their handcuff keys to free arrested people who were left alone
And thinking that inclusion is about offence, and refusing to not be a shit to people either way, makes you at the very least, a wilfully ignorant ass..
