And definitely not known for Dune or Spider-Man.

Very low cost cosplay

I would definitely call that blue.

The post might not be real, but that’s definitely happened.

I’m guessing…Gradius.

Steam yes, GOG no. Also PSN.
- Comment on I am from a different millenia 2 weeks ago:
Those were kind of annoying because it was essentially luck if the draw which one you got.
Records could also have bits at the end meant to loop as the needle bounced. The Beatles’ Day in the Life has this, which sounds weird in other media.

Not all of them, only if it had Redbook audio.

Sometimes hope is all we’ve got.

Yes, because it’s not going to be nearly as catastrophic as it sounds. What we need is a real world ender.
- Comment on Do most people still use computers, or do people only use a smartphone as their main/only device? 2 weeks ago:
I don’t think Lemmy is the right sample to ask this question. Definitely a lot of gamers and tech enthusiasts here.
Personally I avoid doing computer tasks on my phone if I can at all help it. Have both desktop and laptop that I prefer to use.
- Comment on A New Generation of ‘Unbeatable’ Fake IDs Is Bedeviling Bouncers 3 weeks ago:
Kind of seems like reaching the point where counterfeiters could make fakes as good as the official ones was only a matter of time. The solution probably isn’t just making them more difficult to copy. You’d probably need to tie it to a digital identity provider.
Although honestly I think “just make our drinking age more in line with what Europe does” would solve a lot of this.

This might be meant to cover things like paid sponsorships.

Saw one of those yesterday. Should be super illegal, they’re so bright.
- Comment on Every "non-smoking" section in a restaurant 5 weeks ago:
It’s state by state in the US but there’s very few where smoking would be allowed in a restaurant left. Specifics are often down to the city level. They still allow smoking on outdoor patios in my city. There used to be provisions around tavern licenses where they could have smoking indoors in a room which had separate external ventilation but that’s really in the weeds of zoning. I think they’re trying to kill the few of these licenses remaining, too.

In the 80s it was. Nowadays you’d have to pass a background check.
- Comment on New No Man's Sky update adds walkable gas giants among "trillions" of new planets, just in case you were running out 5 weeks ago:
I’m not a huge fan of it still but at this point it’s not a bad game, just not to everyone’s taste (which btw seems to be true of most open world survival crafters… I’ve noticed that being a fan of any one of those games is a poor predictor of whether you’ll be a fan of any of the others).
- Comment on Rumor: Marvel Is Making Another Avengers Game 1 month ago:
I’ve wondered why Disney hasn’t moved into that field, but I bet they look at MS’s experience as a huge cautionary tale. Massive company, very tech savvy, was willing to spend a ton of money to get a big boost in the industry…and 20 years later was it worth it? Disney’s main thing is its valuable IP, not software. Games studios don’t really integrate that well with the rest of their business. AAA games get more expensive to produce every day, even moreso than blockbuster movies. Probably more profitable to license their IP to the highest bidders and let other companies shoulder the risk.

Not sure I actually see much reason to make this comparison. Kanye looks pretty normal in that photo.
- Comment on Does the US really have no instruments in case a newly elected president immediatelly and openly exposes he's a nazi? 1 month ago:
In theory, if he went so far over the line that he became very unpopular, then Congress members would fear for their reelection chances if they didn’t publicly break with him. But with him attacking democracy itself, Congress may be more afraid of him than they are of voters. It’s a deeply troubling time.
- Comment on Does the US really have no instruments in case a newly elected president immediatelly and openly exposes he's a nazi? 1 month ago:
I am not arguing in favor of authoritarianism or against democracy, to be clear. Just saying there is an inherent risk that if you give the common people power, the common people might do something dumb with it. I’m not aware of a system that removes that risk without other considerable downsides. There are other democratic governments that have fewer structural issues than the US, but none of them prevent the whole “sometimes, voters are very dumb” thing.

But Trump hasn’t proven unpopular; that’s why he won reelection. If the ruling party has a majority and the PM has their party’s support, nothing would happen in most other systems either.
- Comment on Does the US really have no instruments in case a newly elected president immediatelly and openly exposes he's a nazi? 1 month ago:
Well the mechanism for preventing criminals who shit all over the constitution from getting reelected is supposed to be people not voting for him. There’s not really much a constitutional democracy can do about voters being fucking morons. Kind of an inherent flaw in the system.
- Comment on Does the US really have no instruments in case a newly elected president immediatelly and openly exposes he's a nazi? 1 month ago:
Yeah, it’s rather obviously flawed in light of the current situation, but that is the mechanism that exists in the constitution.

It has impeachment. The list of reasons for impeachment are (quite possibly intentionally) vague. But it has to be done through Congress.
- Comment on After the catastrophe of Concord Sony is reportedly cancelling other projects including a God of War live service game 1 month ago:
Basically a game that is continuously updated with new content. Lots of different models of it from MMOs to Fortnite to Diablo IV. Many of them are free to play with lots of microtransactions. They usually feature things like seasons and battle passes and loot boxes. They’re almost always heavily monetized. The competition in the “genre” is incredibly fierce since most people probably only play a handful of them and friend groups usually all want to be on the same game. It’s very hard to break into. Sony announced that they were making a big investment into the area a few years ago and news has been trickling out since that most of them have been canceled.
