Museums are about preserving the authenticity of their subjects. In this case, that means preserving the look and feel of playing a game as authentically as possible, which means running it on the original hardware. This isn’t just hypocritical considering their stance on emulation, it’s bad museum curation.
Makes sense, thanks!
Ah, I see. Thanks!
I doubt this is real - why would it have been written in English? Did the hackers say they translated it? Seems odd.
Who’s joining me in Corsicado?
There are times where people walk away from a piece of media with a weird interpretation and are accused of “no media literacy” and it’s a bit harsh because the piece of media might be more subtle in its politics or message or whatever, but bioshock literally opens by delivering a libertarian screed and then IMMEDIATELY showing you the havoc and ruin that resulted. There’s not more than two dots to connect. It’s so on the nose. How could you walk away with a different interpretation?
How long is “forever”? When it comes to digital media, forever could be as close as a couple of months away.
No, the question was “how long is ‘forever’”, not “how far away is ‘forever’”
I could have sworn Signs was a legitimately good movie when I saw it as a kid but I rewatched it recently and it’s absurdly bad. The acting is terrible and the cinematography is nonsensical. Roger Ebert gave it a full four stars. I’m convinced there’s a universe I grew up in where it was good and it’s the same one Ebert is from.
No. I think a lot more people on the right were excited about him when he was an unknown quantity. Now that they’ve seen him in office and none of what they wanted happened (no wall, no Hillary arrest) a lot of the energy has diffused and the election is going to be decided by middle - upper class suburban whites who crave normalcy. I lived in Florida in 2016 and everywhere you looked there were trump flags, trump merchandise, etc. I just drove across the country and saw like three trump signs, one in Indiana, one in Kansas, and one in Colorado, and the one in Colorado just said, “thank you for trying to make our country great again”. Loser shit. The energy just isn’t there.
Also consider the shifting demographics. A lot of older people who tend to vote republican died of Covid these last few years while a lot of young people who grew up on anti-trump media and naturally skew left are entering voting age. There are some right wing young people but not a ton, especially compared to previous generations.
We might not have another republican president for a few election cycles. I think when we eventually do, it’ll be a young, savvy politician who doesn’t talk about culture war stuff as much but “just wants to keep taxes low and put America first”, like a further right Pete buttigieg. The current strategy of latching into divisive culture war stuff isn’t working. They want to recreate 2016 but 2016 was such a one in a million aligning of specific conditions that it’s unlikely to work again, even with bidens falling approval ratings due to unpopular support of Israel.
My apartment building is requiring us to pay $30 for an app to allow us to continue parking in the garage, which we already pay $75 a month for. The entire American experience is just a continuous process of being hit with random fees and charges that only exist to further pad margins. I didn’t get the app and my car got towed from a spot I pay on time each month to have. It cost me $375 to retrieve my car. All for parking in a spot I pay for.
Has Nintendo ever had the entire rom of a major game leak before it was released?
