  • That… actually explains the logic of this lawsuit for me. I still disagree and think they’re overly litigious fucks, but I think I might understand a less malicious argument for it. If someone mods a see 'n say to have a different audio track and slaps some new stickers on it, that’s still a see 'n say, right? The mechanism is fundamental to the product - a see n say is the spinning wheel -> random noise and Pokemon is video game where you throw balls at wild not-animals to catch them and use them to battle people. There’s a difference between a toy that’s heavily inspired by another one and being an edgy five year old with a firearm sticker pack who gives them to the cows and chickens and sheep.

    I really have more of a games as art philosophy though, and I’ll just point to the works of Andy Warhol and Marcel Duchamp to make my argument here, my edible just kicked in.












  • I fucking hate Appalachia as only someone who grew up there can hate it

    As someone who grew up in Florida, this resonates with me so fucking much, lol.

    My family traveled quite a bit when I was a kid, and I often found myself riding through Appalachia, and honestly I loved the area around Chattanooga, I genuinely think it’s the most beautiful part of the country, in spite of the kudzu. But it’s probably the only place I could have moved to in the US that would be definitively worse than the place I left a decade ago.
