What is it with Spielberg finishing Kubrick’s stuff? No disrespect to either, but it’s not like their works are very similar.

Those cars cause a lot of shit apparently. Worst of all they are a liability around emergency vehicles. If this is a way of protesting that, I get it.
It’d look better. Even with the struts out.
10 micron tolerance is rather impressive for a mashed potato sculpture.
I’m sure he did pretend it was, though.
I don’t think anybody seriously used twitter as storage.
Rather the point is that, similarly to every time a blogging platform or another online service with user content shuts down, a bit of internet history disappears with it. Links are broken, traces of opinions or bits of knowledge from another time are not available anymore…
It’s not the end of the world, and at that point I wouldn’t really care if twitter disappeared completely overnight, but still, some stuff will be lost.
If you start eating packaging like stickers glued to the rind of cheese, I think you can legally be considered a kind of human-goat hybrid.
It is just glued on it. It’s just on the label, not implanted inside the cheese wheel. The “you could be eating microchips!!!” part of the article is pure clickbait.
All they say is they’d be safe to eat if for some reason it ended up in the cheese. Like the rest of the label I guess.
Somehow Windows has always been and is still crap at managing archives. Ultra-slow, has trouble opening or extracting individual files inside the archive, etc.
However, 7-zip has been doing all that perfectly forever now. Not sure why anyone would use WinRAR, paid for or not.
I suspect the guys blocking the road could have prevented it by staying there, but assumed it wasn’t really their problem after all and kinda wanted to see this shit happen.
And I wouldn’t blame them.
It’s understandable 😁, Morrowind is definitely when the series started to get more mainstream audience, and the older ones are not talked about a lot. I had never even heard of them before trying Morrowind, I rediscovered them later mainly because I can’t let a game drop a “3” on me without wondering what came before.
Doesn’t help that there was a big design shift between Daggerfall and Morrowind (more than anything between TES 3-4-5), and they’re very different games.
Daggerfall did have a bit of modding though. Most quests were procedurally generated using quest templates, like “[type of NPC] sends you to [type of dungeon] to find [McGuffin] for [reward]”. I remember a mod that added lots of new quest types for more diversity.
Hey they’ve got the playdate in there!
Their comparison to the old school Gameboy screen is a bit ridiculous honestly. Sure it’s not backlit, but it doesn’t need to be, if there is any kind of light, you can really see perfectly.
I had a Gameboy and an OG GBA, I know what it’s like to desperately look for the right angle/lighting/contrast slider position to try and make sense of what the hell was on screen. Some games with poor contrast like Donkey Kong Land were torture.
Well, not all. It really started with Morrowind.
There are some mods for Daggerfall, but not what I’d call a massive community. Arena is mostly ignored, and it’s like Battlespire and Redguard were erased from history altogether.

Peer reviewing is how you know the methodology is not flawed…
I am not sure how one gets that far into an analysis of RPGs, J or otherwise, without even once mentioning characters, stories or themes.
Those games have never really been about mechanics to me. Sure, since they’re usually so long, they’d better try to keep things entertaining enough, but there’s a lot more to them (good ones, anyway).
I honestly don’t care much about the J, and even “RPG” seems so broad to me, because many, many games have blurred the line. Starting around end of the 90s when “RPG elements” became a thing. I don’t think it matters much.
Yeah, floppy without the case was my immediate guess too. Not sure why they would have been stored this way though. It’s a bit weird.
I guess the alternative could have been " let this Munna feed on your dreams" but it might have been too creepy for most.
Let’s be honest, the only reason I was still following E3 for a while was hope that something like E3 2006 would happen again.
Since it only got progressively more boring with time, I didn’t care much about it being cancelled, be it this year or forever.
Those aren’t really FOMO in my opinion, more like being curious about what the praise was about. It’s trying new stuff, and rather healthy I’d say, even if you realize some of those really weren’t for you in the end. Yeah, I had quite a few of those too.
To me, FOMO would be anxiety about stuff that you really can miss “forever” and regret afterwhile.
In games, it’s weaponized with artificially limited stuff because whoever is pulling the string wants you to fear a missed opportunity and make an impulse decision.
It’s stuff like preorder “bonuses” you will never have another chance to get otherwise, time-limited content, battlepasses, daily rewards etc.
One of the most pathetic recent example I can think of being Nintendo making the translation of a 1990 Famicom game available only for a couple months. “Quick, buy Fire Emblem now, before it disappears forever!!!”
