Part of that is because it wasn’t a throwaway movie tie-in game. The E.T. Atari game was appalling shit that came out the same year as the movie after a full 5 weeks of development and was definitely a throwaway tie-in. Goldeneye came out two years after the movie because the team thought it was the raddest shit ever and wanted to make it a good game. By the time the game came out, the movie was already long gone from theaters and had been out on VHS for almost a year.

Originally they were there to notify first responders in case of an incident where the driver is incapacitated. You used to see them held up with suction cups so they could be removed when the baby was, in fact, not onboard. It seems like that original meaning has been kind of lost, but they didn’t start out as a “please don’t run into me” sign.

If lights are flickering when you record videos, you probably need to change the settings on your camera to match your country’s grid frequency. Almost every video recording device will have a 50/60Hz setting somewhere.

That usage always bugs the shit out of me, to the point that I had to refer back to English classes to figure out why. It is an adjective, but it is not a predicate adjective like it’s used here. It is an attributive adjective and has to be used in conjunction with the noun that it’s modifying.
“She made good aesthetic choices.” Yes
“These flowers are aesthetic.” No

Right, but that’s usually called a “mix tape”, not “mixed” unless that’s some kind of regional thing. I’ve never heard anyone call that a “mixed tape” before this post.
- Comment on And what car did you learn in? 4 months ago:
The overwhelming majority of automatic transmissions made in the last 85 years have had torque converters, not automatically operated clutches (referring to the primary connection between motor and driveline, not torque converter lockup clutches or transmission clutch packs). Cars that use the automatic equivalent of a manual clutch pedal have really only been practically produced in the last 15 years in the form of dual wet clutch automatics.

I didn’t intend to suggest that Carl Sagan invented climate science in 1985, just that the political conversation has been clear and ongoing for decades (indeed, longer than 40 years), yet the opposing narratives continue to claim it’s unproven, and the progress remains insufficient.

40 years ago.
It’s so easy to lose sight among all the gish-galloping nonsense around these topics just how long the problem has been almost fully understood and very clearly articulated. It’s absolutely devastating to think about how catastrophically the world has failed to meet the challenge he describes here in the intervening decades.

My guess is that it used to have certain words printed in red text for emphasis, but the red dyes didn’t hold up and now those words are gone. If you look between “a camel” and “without” you can see the faint shadow of the lettering.
My Wheel of Fortune guess is “if a camel can live without a drink for 3 days, who wants to be a camel?” You know, barroom humor.

You know, it’s actually a lot more complicated than I thought originally. It is a satire account, and it isn’t a “real” place, but apparently a lot of the photos originate from a truck stop in Tennessee. There’s a whole internet saga around finding the actual location. Most of the photos they post are digitally manipulated in some way, including alleged AI face superimposition, but they play the satire so straight that it’s impossible to know to what extent. You may be right that it’s not whole-cloth AI generated, but it also isn’t a photo of a kid with a tub full of orange soda.

Since nobody has mentioned it yet, this is from Celina 52, which is a fictional truck stop social media account that uses AI generated images like this one to satirize rural American culture. Peyton doesn’t exist.

No, not trolling. I’d never heard that they had a policy against it until I looked it up just now.
Somehow I was under the impression that devs didn’t even get a say as to if or when Steam would put their games on sale. I thought I had heard that as a major gripe of devs who list games on Steam.
Now I’ll have to decide when I feel like it’s worth the remainder of my life and $35.
