Oh that could totally work actually with the parabolic reflector. I’m not sure about the leds, I think there might be a lense involved in the phone to direct the flash to a certain radius. It didn’t reverse the image or anything so the focal point must be at the lense itself. Anyway, I’m sure with some messing around we could get such a batsignal torch.

Nah Elon is an idiot with money Trump loves those

Probably too diffuse still, you would need a focal point in front of the bulb for it to cast a recognisable shadow I think? Because the reflective dish would be bouncing light at all angles around the stencil, including inside the intended shadow. You need something exclusively pointing light in a focused beam.

The flashlight on my phone seems to be a pretty decent for this kind of thing, so whatever led and design that’s got going on could work.

Are you hungry?

Fuck me but I have questions though

Oh, as in the loss of sales from the new games isn’t worth the potential gains later on by developing the platform? I can feel that.

I don’t know if I’d go as far with my personal tastes, but I know for sure ds3 makes me stressed out. I think the combat system is far too fast and roll centric to be enjoyable to me. DS2 is just a nice adventure and sometimes I need that despite its flaws.

You are correct about the race bias, and it’s to a much lesser extent, but people do also say Stonehenge was built by aliens. As early as 1968 apparently.

Yeah, also been saying this for years. Loss leading into jack up the prices.

Admittedly I thought it would happen a bit later, usually I expect them to try to force out the competition, then go for the prices. Guess that’s not an option when steam is around.

Hell yeah, I get swarms of king parrots turn up and they’re majestic.

I recently replayed it. It’s kind of a weird one, but yes I’d say worth 5 bucks even as a window into the past.

The interrogation gameplay mechanics are a bit vague and difficult to understand exactly how to make the game do what you want, or even what you think the entire mechanic does, but to its credit it doesn’t usually give you a hard game over when you make mistakes. I failed an interrogation for example, but I got a few extra scenes of comedy that I didn’t see last time when I succeeded.

It pioneered facial capture in video games, but it’s out of sync with the rest of the body animation. Combine that with the low res textures and it’s a bit uncanny at times. Fascinating to see given where motion and facial capture is today though.

I know you’re being glib but I hope you live friend

Depends on the person, but in general no. Enjoying the book is fine, but it shouldn’t make you okay with the morally wrong concepts it presents. I don’t read a murder mystery and come out of it thinking that murder is good, just like you shouldn’t come out of fight club thinking fight clubs are good.

The original is on steam now if you didn’t already know. I still love the original, I feel like the sequels kind of lost something and I’m a bit afraid this remake might have the same problem. It’s fine either way, the original will always be there, but I would have loved something more in line with the original.

Iirc literally the nuclear launch systems? I’ll see if I can find the article.

Edit: not anymore, but as recent as about 2019ish. Can’t imagine they’re the only ancient infrastructure still using this level of technology though. https://www.nytimes.com/2019/10/24/us/nuclear-weapons-floppy-disks.html

Looks like it’ll be very similar, the voice actor change for Frank and the character models really throw me off though.

Lmao I’m leaving it in

JFC if good prose is enough to make you okay with pesophilia maybe you weren’t that far away from it in the first place

Little bit of everything I think. I personally have been getting tired of Microsoft pulling their shit, but without Valve making compatibility so simple for their launcher it would make it a much harder sell.
