oh right palworld is a thing that exists
@noiob where did everyone land on that, anyway? 
i see japanese artists who reaaaally like some pals and draw them often, but i have no idea what happened with the game or the vibes around it
@archenoth idk, I still don't care about it as it's obvious shovelware. the ceo literally stated they're going for quantity over quality
@noiob oh wow
i feel like that's probably not the best thing to say about a game you're working on, ahah
@archenoth they're saying it about their company, look at what else they put out / are planning
@noiob uh wow
so i did this, and uh, probably not what you were trying to point out, but i actually feel sorry for the devs 
it looks like they're a doujin circle that basically had their unexpected success turn on them in a major way, and it sounds like they are in a state of being forever-harassed by pokemon fans both online and off
that feels bad
@archenoth I was pointing out that so far they've made a blatant BotW clone, a Jackbox ripoff with GenAI and they're planning Hollow Knight but anime girl
@noiob ...ah!
those are kinda unfortunate projects, yeah
