Recently it's been brought to my attention by a few friends of mine that a new game called Palworld has been getting some really unfair heat for being a little too similar to Pokemon. And while the devs are said to be supportive of using AI generated bits and pieces as well as NFT cryptocurrency dumbness, that does not at all justify the massive amount of hate the game is getting.

I mean, we've already seen truckloads of monster befriending games already: Digimon, YuGiOh, Bakugan, even Yokai Watch. What matters is that they all strive to be unique. For example, Digimon takes place in another dimension and the 'mons are actual people who can speak and stuff, if that makes sense. I've heard that Pokemon isn't even the first monster befriending game to begin with. What makes Palworld any different?

I mean, just because it's another good stone on the path of the monster befriending genre of games doesn't mean you should just single it out and hate it for looking too similar to Pokemon. Don't ruin the fun for others like real low-lifes like Rian Johnson and Brie Larson and whichever wokester thought the Primaris Space Marines were ever a good idea.

I sure hope everyone who's playing it is enjoying the game thoroughly and finds something they can enjoy in it. As for me, I'll be biding my time drawing me and my characters, not least of them being Ordna, and just having a jolly good time.

Next month is gonna have some Street Soul Radio glory for everyone! Stay tuned yo!
