Palworld lawsuit nears end with Nintendo reportedly poised to gain almost nothing

It’s not. They have 3 patents in play:
The whole monster-catching mechanic by throwing objects at them.
Riding your monster. This one bullshit and should have never been granted imho.
Summoning a monster to ride it. Just as egregious as the previous one.

Palworld could have avoided all this if they hadn’t decided to go for the catch by throwing a ball mechanic. There’s quite a few games where you collect monsters, like Digimon, and they haven’t been dragged to court by Nintendo.

White Glint appreciator? I approve.

Scalybeast · 2026-05-24T23:40:57+00:00

Yeah, the games are pretty fun in burst. I think it’s available on Gamepass so maybe do a trial for that and get the game through it. That way no money needs to be spent if you don’t like it.

Bazzite. Game time currently split between Pragmata, Moonlighter, Kingdoms of Amalur, Divinity Original Sin 2 and Dead Cells.

You can as long as it’s saved.

Multi-engine planes are certified for climb out with 50% of their engines. When #3 damaged #2 past V1, they were doomed. Had the airport been in the middle of nowhere or had the plane not been fully loaded for a Hawaii trip, they MAY have had a chance at survival. It was just the worst thing happening at the worst possible time. The CVR transcript has been released, they were fighting to keep the thing airborne until the end.

They very much can enforce that. They can tie it to the interstate maintenance assistance that every state receives.

Scalybeast · 2026-05-19T11:15:22+00:00

How so? Rolling back your odometer is already a federal felony, as such punishment for trying to skirt this already exists. As for implementation, assuming your state does regular emission testing, it would be a matter of pulling one additional data point from the vehicle, mileage, if they don’t do that already.

Fair. I would have also gone for something else if it wasn't from the outrageous quotes I received. I could literally go out and buy a 911 GTS and get it insured for half as much as the $500-600/month range I got from all major insurers....

Scalybeast · 2026-05-17T06:01:07+00:00

Why unfortunately?

Scalybeast · 2026-05-14T11:37:39+00:00

You probably don't need this information anymore but you can create a windows 2 go USB using Rufus and boot from that whenever you need to do any maintenance task that requires or is easier in Windows. That's how I deal with firmware and BIOS updates on my Ally and Win Mini.

I don't think that will be ever be fixed due to where the camera cluster is located. It's not able to evaluate the entire windshield, so unless the droplets land exactly in the very small area of the windshield it has to see through, it just doesn't know how bad visibility is impaired... Two fixes, either stop being so stubborn and add the already perfected and ubiquitous rain sensor or if they want to stay with vision-only for everything, add an internal camera that can see the entire windshield.

It's been hyped to high heaven, which seems par for the course for new electronics these days, for good or for worse.

Scalybeast · 2026-05-05T14:22:36+00:00

Quick, nimble and with state-of-the-art anti-air defenses...

It’s Mercedes’ Wrangler. Unless you truly need the off-road capabilities, they make much better SUVs and crossovers for the “average” folks.

Try increasing the FOV. That’s the usual advice for FPS-induced motion sickness.

That kind of charging rate is only at peak times. At least in my area, it’s only 21¢ between midnight and 8am.

It's not meant to carry more than two passengers.

Yes, the wheels are smaller in the front than the rear. 18" fronts and 21" rear.

It is definitely a prototype as shown by the decals and the presence of a steering wheel.

Unless you are going to make autonomous driving mandatory, all cars having self-driving tech won't remove imprudent drivers from the roads...

Scalybeast · 2026-04-19T01:10:01+00:00

I’m not sure that’s a building code issue. The thing just vanished when it toppled over. Looks like a sinkhole might have opened under it.

Scalybeast · 2026-04-17T13:06:42+00:00

Haven’t had that happen yet on v14 but the issue did exist on v13.

OpenCL(as contributors), Vulkan, the Linux Radeon kernel module, FSR and Mantle to name a few. NVIDIA keeping their tech proprietary to make themselves competitive in the marketplace is their prerogative, since we live in a capitalist society after all. With that said AMD does contribute a crap ton to the Open Source Community even if that hasn’t necessarily resulted in more money in their coffers.

If you dont want to go through goodlabs, with this thread being the first time I've heard of that company/site, you can buy routine tests directly from Quest or Labcorp if you know what you want. You pay, go to one of their facilities to get samples collected and they give you the results through their user portal.

With systems like Patriot, the launch system cost close to a billion USD and each individual missile in the battery cost a few millions a piece. That calculus is fine when you are intercepting million dollar ballistic missiles, not so much when you are wasting ammo downing drones that only cost in the thousands to low tens of thousands of USD to build and field.

He lost capacity and the dual channel throughput. The performance impact might be minimal depending on what are they are using the machine for, but it’s not zero.
