Garnt underestimates weight, height, range, and muscle density differences; there is a reason why in fighting sports they have to divide fighters into weight classes. I think if you are a tall adult with lots of stamina you certainly can deck at least ten-fifteen 8 years old

[@teguhlg]

You might want to reimagine how many kids can surround you, how many you can knock out before they anchor you down. 30kg per kid, one in each foot and youre halfway to the ground.

[@kattinrain8913]

@@teguhlg That's assuming you are trapped in one enclosed area, in an open field you can totally use the hit-and-run strat. As an adult, you are certainly faster than an 8-years-old, and the 8-years-old must have differences in speed for each individual as well, so by running you are effectively dividing the kids, when you are far enough from the majority of them just turn back and surprised deck the one closest to you. Also, at 8 years old, kids haven't fully developed their muscle mass yet, so their attacks are way weaker than adults, if you have protection to your weak points then I think you can tank quite a lot of hits. Anyway, why the hell am I planning the strat to deck as many kids as I can? I swear I'm against violence toward kids.

@@luisiana1121 To a point yeah, but if it was to become an actual somewhat big lawsuit, which I feel like wont happen at this point, they would have to wait until it released to be able to get 'proof' of there being theft etc. It is also very relevant to how popular it would get. Had it released and flopped, while Nintendo is crazy with jumping on legal threats with even small fan projects (which I think most of them are probably because they use the pokemon name and look very good so nintendo gets salty, even if its entirely free and non profit), the chance of legal action would be way lower if it had flopped versus the success it has gotten. 'excusing' the hate purely on crying and throwing temper tantrums feels kind of bad faith. Of course it's only getting the discourse purely because of the amount of the success it got, had it flopped and gotten negative reviews nobody would've cared. There are definetely many people who doesn't genuinely care about it and only act like they do because its topical and a lot of people are talking about it, but that doesn't mean that nobody has valid critque and concerns about it. In the end to me it looks incredibly lazy and a lot of the games feels incredibly copied without any love to it, do I think theres case for a lawsuit? maybe but idk im not a lawyer, do I care about nintendo? not really, fuck those guys, they tend to make many cool games but as a company they're assholes.

Does it matter if they’re enraged?

[@t1nytim]

@@jesseincognito. Potentially, though I think survival instinct is also generally a very strong force, for most people I at least imagine, stronger. Though to clarify looking back on my comment, doesn't mean infinite scaling, I just imagine the scaling would be to the point where 1 kid being decked would be visible to all other kids in the vicinity. A large enough grouping would negate that.

Them talking about how many children they can take is so clippable out of context and can win the award for the Trash Taste Awardw lmao

Episode 200 is approaching, wonder what it'll be about! The boiis never dissapoint! 😁🤩

[@SnickMonster]

Joey saying Lifmunk is "literally just leafeon" is the same as every single die-hard pokemon fan complaining about it. Looks absolutely nothing like it, it's just green and plant related. Game Freak doesn't own the concept of grass, other people can make plant monsters that are green, they don't own that. As we've seen from Nintendo's ACTUAL actions, took less than a day for them to DMCA and threaten legal actions against a free pokemon reskin mod for the game but they have made a total of ZERO moves against the actual game.

[@TheKeeperofChaos]

GF doesn't own the concept of grass because if they did, Pokemon fans might actually touch it

[@ohhello937]

I've beat 5 different Final Fantasy games but far as shooters I've only extensively played things like OW, PUBG, maybe some Quake back in the day so he's not 100% wrong about the lack of fan overlap.

[@equilibrium_69]

Beat FF 4-9 and the only FPS games I play are CS and L4D2. Hope there are more of us out there 😅

[@tdgarts]

53:18 I feel like Hazbin has the problem where it's trying to be so adult that the writers think having the characters swear after every other word automatically makes it "adult."

[@BigPumpie-tf7tq]

I don’t think anything could ever be the “wake up call” Gamefreak needs, Pokémon is so gargantuan compared to any other modern media outlet that it’ll never feel pressured by anything that might be seen as such by the public. People having this conversation never stop to think, realistically speaking, how many sales or potential sales will this take from Pokémon? The thing is, pal world will probably get more people to play actual Pokémon, if for no other reason than just to bash it. Which is fine, Pokémon is a shell of what it once was, I just don’t think Pokémon will ever be overthrown at this point

I don't know which fandom Garnt is talking about, but the One Piece fandom has never been wholesome.

Hearing Connor talk about the work that goes into games makes me so happy as a 3D artist. Finally somebody online who gets it.

[@mebandae1360]

Hearing connor talk about palworld and consumers view on art was a really nice listen, i'd love to hear the opinions you guys have for obscure games or anime you play and watch, listening to the group talk about something i have no idea about is really fun.

[@TheBlueSuperDude]

I support my man Joey on this whole cinema thing. BRING BACK MOVIE INTERMISSIONS!! At least as an option like one screening in the theater has this movie with an intermission 😂

[@DynamicSystem]

You guys need to try watching a movie at an Alamo Drafthouse in Austin. They serve food during the movie. Also should old movies and some special showings like all three lord of the rings movies with specially cooked themed meals

[@AfroInJPN]

As an member of the Knights of the Radish Kingdom I appreciate this story being told on the poddy looool Was indeed an eventful company gathering

[@nenybuns]

It's so refreshing to listen to you talk about Palworld and the issue of AI/how media is made in general. I have zero interest in anime but keep following you guys talk about life, and I am glad you approach topics like this with an open AND critical mind. Kudos to Connor for actually caring where your games come from and how they are made by the work of REAL PEOPLE. Wishing you dudes just the best for your personal lives as well as your careers!
