People love to burn toys but now the ashes are now microplastics in the soil. I get that it's all symbolic, but you put chemicals in the air and stained the dirt. Ya burned it, but it's not gone, so it's better to just not create until you know you can contain it.
Beanie Babies are coming back tho.

You're gonna be in your 40s and someone's gonna bring up the "NEW NFTs" scam insisting that it's gonna work this time, and because you didn't feel the effects of it when you were 20 or 30, you look back at 2021 fondly, try to look up your ape and find it's not there.

I don't want to blame 'the youngs' for this problem because the NFT shit appealed to any age, it was mostly going to hit the people most vulnerable but then equally promoted by those who have no object permanence.
"nothing lasts forever"
"live for the moment"
Yeah but you're abusing those phrases.

Give them a phone, the game that they loved to play doesn't work properly three days later, the app is advertising them a new one to play instead. Out with the old and in with the new.
So again, most older people know the apes weren't meant to last, but will people look back on them with nostalgia?

Zoomers have the same issue of Boomers where they grew up with a lack of discipline for their actions, and over all society (capitalism bad moment here) encouraged fleeting rewards over contentment and acceptance. Toddler throws down their sippy cup in anger and you can't openly scold them for that.

I've seen a lot of younger people with the moto of "nothing is forever" which isn't true. Dinosaurs still exist. Everything that existed on this planet, still does. Do you have this mentality just to feel ok with throwing away your starbucks cup for a new one? Are Zoomers just Doomers - yes...

There were some amazing pieces of art created as NFTs and only work in NFT format, but most of the Apes and Ape-likes images were only being sold to dumb elders, or other rich people who needed a temporary way to launder money. If you valued your ape, do you even comprehend ownership?

Sometimes I do wonder if the Apes or any NFT will actually hold it's value because the idea of digital ownership wasn't a bad idea but it'll never be like owning something physical.

Like I own my labubu and I bought a used one and they shipped it to me. I now own these labubus.

If you ever have an idea for a TV show or movie, make a comic or book first so YOU own the original rights.

Then, if one of these companies wants to adapt it, sure! but they'll only own their version of it.

Don't let your work get caught up inside some billionaire version of Hungry Hungry Hippos.

CONFIRMED: This model is actually just used for one single cutscene (the first one), at the end it's not the entire Legends Z-A map being just 1 model as the dataminers first thought.

Whenever you see hateful posts on social media, please remember that about 50% of internet activity is now AI/bots, so it's likely that it isn't even a real person. Don't fall for the crap that's trying to divide us, just ignore (block) and move on.

Youtube recomended me a bashing of Pokemon Z-A. I think really the price point is what ruins it. If the game was 30$, you have us. That's what this experience looks like. A 30$ game.

I DO wonder if being told it had to also be on Switch 2, slowed down development?

It was bad before that game but it's getting harder to look at the good things when they're there and doesn't help when people want to shut down any positivity.
