It replaces workers with robots so it would probably save money too.
And now the workers cannot afford bread.
Next move?

That makes a lot of sense.
As far as I’m aware, if your TV did start to provide feedback as you played you were in for a bad time.
I guess I’m thinking more holistically. Gaming is often seen still as a visual medium, but you’ll know that the physical set up was part of the fun/not fun.
I suspect you might remember man parties and lugging gear around just to play with friends. In theory it wasn’t exactly easy, but somehow still enjoyable for it.
And I forgot the smell and the heat too. That warm ozone thing a lot of them had going on.
Yeah, when you turned them on they frequently had push buttons with satisfying resistance and a click.
As an object they had their own tactility, often solid and heavy (as opposed to the sort of articulated physicality of most modern monitors). You could often feel the static electricity across the glass.
They even had their own sounds. The hum of warming up, the whine and clunk of being turned off.
When we talk about nostalgia it’s often the sensations adjacent to the activity that we are talking about.
People will knock nostalgia … They see it as a sort of softness, a yearning for the past…
But what they miss is the way that it can create intergenerational connections.
That’s a really lovely thing to hear about your relationship with your dad and Ms Pac-Man.
Wait, that sounds libellous.
I think people who played those games on CRTs originally remember the feel of the visuals. It is a rather nostalgic thing.
The filters aren’t the same, but they’re not a bad approximation. Mist of those games were not meant to be played on modern hardware and look worse for it too.
Then there will be a ton of folk who just do it because they see other people do it. That’s fine too, especially if they are enjoying themselves.
That’s the point. If the filter makes you feel happier, go for it. It’s an aesthetic choice.
Dan Simmons, Hyperion… Or Carrion Comfort.
I’d love to see some modern tries at Dashiel Hammet’s work too.
“Disrupter”… Yeah, we need to stop using that word. He’s as much part of the establishment as the Tory members he’s helped replace.
His party is a corporate entity, and we’ll see how he gets on niw that he legally has to file his financial interests.
US education system.
Hey, maybe the next leap will be the leap home?
I agree. I like the idea of the loch ness monster.
Problem is though, this stuff all seems to blob together and you start a conversation about the Baghdad battery and all of a sudden someone is making some pretty antisemitic theories about the world.
Massive spud of a human.
I mean, good luck trying to get this working in Northern Ireland too.
This is a classic Tory death rattle. Punish those lazy, entitled young people who, whilst not responsible for the 2008 crash (that was us and our banker mates) or the following years of austerity that ripped the heart out of public services whilst private services prospered (that was also us, but with our banker mates) or Brexit, an enterprise that spit the nation and has left us all worse off (again, us, but this time with our business and banker mates), it is those no good, molly-coddled young people with their funny hair colour and inability to buy houses, or food in some cases, that are the problem with the UK and we need to whip them into shape whilst we (who haven’t been whipped into any sort of shape at all) continue to be in charge.
Best Norway fact I have is that their wine (and spirits) is nationalised. Anything over 4.75%.
You can only buy it from the government in places called Vinmonopolet (English: The Wine Monopoly), and it is directly taxed.
Spent some time there this year. A lot of ant-renewable sentiment.
But then every kid gets access to a musical instrument and lessons.
I see you getting downvoted for a correct answer.
IP addresses are like street addresses. I can live at 10 High Street in London, you can live at 10 High Street in Ohio. Those are not the same address right? Folk confusing public and private ip addresses.
Seconded. I keep trying others. I tried feedly for a while. I also tried readyou (which I still keep on my phone)… But nothing comes as close to inoreader for doing what I want.
Also, I’ve learnt how to aggregate other feeds into a single feed to pass them into it to get around the 150 limit. Not ideal, but I’m cheap.
Hey, please respect the post! He literally says it right there.
I do find it interesting that folk think Renaissance art is realistic.
I’m being a little glib, but the truth is that we are still looking at hyper-idealised bodies.
The main difference,I suspect, is the use of perspective rather than drawing on a flat plane. In a way it took a leap of imagination to make things look more “realistic” whilst sculpture was merely (again, said with a certain smirk) just mimicking what the artist could see and feel in the real world.
That is to say that sculpture is reproduction whilst drawing is representation, and with representation you need to be able to take some pretty big leaps for both the artist and the viewer to work these things out.
