Lots of games are also called Roguelike. Based off a game called Rogue. The makers of Rogue do not get to sue the makers of Hades.

Pets that fight for you, including being able to store them for portable carry has been done by many other games, including Ark. In fact, playing Palworld made me compare it more to Ark than Pokemon: base building, automation, catching dinos/animals/monsters of different varieties for different uses. Some can fly, some run, some can be used as parachutes. Some help automate actions at base. There is a tech tree unlocked by leveling, starting with primitive weapons and moving on to guns and higher caliber guns. Blueprints are common in ark for higher quality crafts to build at, you guessed it, crafting benches.

Collecting wood, stone, metals, etc. Also the animal assistants can help there too, but only certain ones. Also, Ark has cryopods for storing your animals/dinosaurs. You even throw em to release.

If they had exactly Pikachu or something it's one thing, but similar games are just part of the business.

It's so ingrained in our life processes. You know Calories? The capital C version(or Kcal in some countries) is 1000 calories. What do they measure? The potential heat whatever is being measured can generate. Our fuel intake is measured by how well it burns.

Maybe I'm reading too much into it, but it felt like Hiccup's "You just pointed at all of me" quip.

Him and his father both have some odd idea that they have such good genes they need to spread em around to pass down their superior semen. It isn't exclusive to them (see Nick Cannon and others) but it's also a common white supremacists or evangelical belief (see Great Replacement Theory and the Quiverful movement).

Star Trek has always been political though?

Iirc it's based on a real experience, so that's probably true. I haven't seen it in forever, nor do I intend to, so I say probably because I don't recall all the nuance.

I don't remember fully about that airport(after all, it is a full 20 mins from my house) but as i recall this is a major Delta hub, and because of that the entire section where they board and then move to taxi is all Delta only.

There's also the possibility that the definition of stress differs. I'm in an IT position where I control most of my schedule and pace of work, I work at home without much supervision, and I'm very much a trusted employee. That means I have less body stress and other stresses than a large amount of people, but at the end of the day my mental stress can still give me headaches and wear me out (and of course real life stresses. I'm paid pretty well for the company I work at, but it's still kinda low to be supporting myself and a family member still trying to find employment).

It's just so common here. It's an automatic assumption that a snide culture comment isn't about America but those of us with some melanin in our skin.
