If those are the only 3 items they're suing over, in an American court of law it'd be a slam dunk for PocketPair. Theres so much prior art, open use, and poor definitions involved the patents would be quickly invalidated.

But I'm not aware of the nuance of Japanese court, only that they tend to protect IP even more strongly than US courts.

Edit: fuck it, I haven't been very interested so far, but I'm buying a copy of palworld today. Software patents are a broken system and Nintendo deserves every bit of fight given to them.

It's impressive we give so much control of our financial instruments to idiots who obviously don't fully grasp how tariffs and protectionism work.

It sounds straightforward until it's used as a weapon by the sitting administration to prevent competition at the ballot box.

It's pretty fun. But I find myself drawn more to TCG Shop Simulator to scratch the itch these days. Pokemon had it's chance to innovate for decades and largely refused to.

Amazing, the 35% 'best and last' offer Boeing offered 3 times wasn't actually the best and last, and collective bargaining exceeded the 40% pay raise the union set out for.

Union strong, bitches.

I'll say that it can lead to uneven extrusion and even skipped steps on your extruder. How much, and how much that amount matters is entirely dependant on the setup and your workflow.

There are a few 3D printed solutions to keep filament tension neutral using a buffer system. It's not a bad idea to check out some of them.

Usually passive houses come with some sort of air exchanger system. Fresh air with minimal efficiency impact.
