Wife is one of those tropicals, she says they have both orange and green oranges, depending on the type.
I asked her what type is green, and we have the same type here but it's orange.
Which I really don't understand. They can't own the concept of capture the flag and other games like that. Crash Bandicoot used to have a similar game where you bounce on squares to change them to your color, something I've seen in other games too.
but Splatoon has a fairly unique game mechanic, being able to swim through ink that you shoot being the primary one. That seems like something Nintendo could easily sue over.
When life gives you oranges, don’t make orange juice. Make life take the oranges back! Get mad! I don’t want your damn oranges, what the hell am I supposed to do with these? Demand to see life’s manager! Make life rue the day it thought it could give Anon oranges! Do you know who I am? I’m the man who’s gonna burn your house down! With the oranges! I’m gonna get my engineers to invent a combustible orange that burns your house down!

In tropical regions it’s common for ripe oranges to be green

Tropical regions? Look at the guy! This is clearly somewhere in Eastern Europe!

What? Aren't you talking about lime?

No, oranges only go orange if exposed to temperatures below 13C

Limes are unripe. If you let them ripen, they'll turn yellow.

As someone with a lime tree this is so true. Limes are so much better if you pick them right as they yellow.

I wish someone would make a splatoon like game for pc. Likely they are worried about getting sued.

Paleword is getting sued so I could understand the fear.

Game mechanics can't be patented, only game assets (character models, etc)I'm wrong!kabi@lemm.ee · 3 pts · 1y

Game assets can't be patented. Patents are for concepts, copyright and trademarks are for specific things like assets.

They can't own the concept but they'll sue you in a biased court and either waste all of your money or get you to stop making the game

They did on PS4, it flopped even though it was free with ps plus. I still want to try it though, it's called Foamstars.

Those look more like papayas to me. Or some other weird non-orange fruit.
