I'd say it's like praying without the religious connotations. Bargaining is one of the five stages of grief.

Why the hell are you expected to provide your own laptop for your job?

Then we have artists from other gaming studios that are jumping into the Palworld controversy bandwagon. Shouldn’t these artists focus on their games? Or how about this? You are a 3D artist so you most likely have the appropriate tools installed on your PC. Export a 3D model from Palworld and do some investigation. It should be easy for you.

What a dumb take. Leaving the whole palworld debacle aside, is this person seriously saying that game artists shouldn't ever do anything that's not directly related to their game? Are they going to tell Gordon Ramsey to stop making TV programs to focus on cooking? People aren't defined by their job.

Saying artists would already have the tools installed is also kinda dumb. Just because they can open and edit files doesn't mean they would have tools and knowledge to rip them from the game.

Earlier in the article they're blaming the media for not properly investigating these claims, something I can somewhat get behind, but why is this now also being extended to game artists? Should everyone fact check every single claim they see on the internet?

Maybe controversial but I had that with the office.

The quality of the game was no suprise, but the popularity certainly was. This is not a genre that tends to go this mainstream.

It's not like they don't know who owns the car. They should be able to check afterwards if it was a real emergency, and if it was faked, send the bill and maybe report them for impersonating a police officer.

Honestly the fact that Pringles don't have an overpowering flavour is partly why I like them

The way house elves are handled and the very stereotypical names come to mind.

If health insurance gets access to our DNA they could even know if there's a history of illness in your family, or how prone you are to drug/alcohol/cigarette addiction, and use that info to increase your rates. It's just one of the reasons why volunteering that data away freely to companies like 23andme is a terrible idea.
