Have you ever looked at a Pokemon and thought "Boy, Id sure like to enslave one of those and put it to work in my factory!", just like Elon and Bezos have? Well congratulations, we have just the game for you!
Palworld gives you the freedom to run up on adorable critters and smash them with a bat until you capture them and make them submit to your will. Then put them to work building your empire from which all of PalWord will crumble before you. Its also the biggest game in the world right now!
Today we discuss the development and reception of PalWorld, and ask many questions and get many answers. Are Pals just Pokemon ripoffs? Are Pokemon just Dragon Quest ripoffs? Is AI to blame for this? And how the heck does Cryptocurrency regulation tie into all of this? And why the death threats anyway?
Well you better listen to the episode to find out!
We also discuss other things like Bobcat Goldthwait ragging on Dave Chappelle, how jerks ruined multiple Harry Potter releases, and other stuff on this episode of Oft Off Topic
