I know it sounds ridiculous, but there was a time when I could enjoy mashups of children’s media with grownup themes with a degree of ironic detachment, as intended. Now those pieces of children’s media are inextricably linked to the sincere and pure joy they bring my actual child, and suddenly all these edgelord parodies of Peppa Pig and Pixar movies and Pokémon make me feel - just a little bit! - sad. Because while PalWorld looks ridiculous and I can appreciate that, actual Pokémon has a bit of magic to it for kids which is mostly or entirely inaccessible to adults.
Anyway. That’s my only dadtake for tonight, I promise.
Palworld is seemingly still aiming to release this yearon Steam.
