Video Game Movies And TV Shows Finally Got Good In 2023
  • When Brandon Sanderson has talked about possible screen adaptations of his books, he's started to hear people talking about an Arcane-style animated adaptation as an option they'd like. He's mentioned that the unfortunate reality of it is that Arcane's budget ($10 million an episode) does not match its audience - the large majority of Arcane viewers are existing League fans, and it doesn't get the new/outside-viewer audience that a lot of producers would want to see.

  • Recommend me a new FDM printer
  • My Prusa i3 Mk3 treated me quite well - it wasn't "out of the box" printing (even accounting for the fact that I got a kit version), but once I got it dialed in, I could just keep printing without having to fix things and retune.

    Most definitely not "out of the box" is a Voron 2.4, which is my current printer. It was, however, so much fun to build and get running.

  • [GNOME] My first rice
  • Unfortunately, racism.

    It's a term from the car-modding scene. "Rice burner" was a pejorative term for badly-customized imported Japanese cars with more flashy looks than performance upgrades. It then came to just mean "heavily visually modified", and installing such mods was called "ricing"

  • Sega calls video games that use blockchain technology 'boring'
  • The thing is - how will your blockchain-based mortgage be enforced? What happens if I start squatting on your blockchain-property? At the end of the day, the answer is "people with guns" - we agree that contracts have legal weight, and there are legal structures (and ultimately law enforcement and their threat of force) that keep you on your land and me out of it. And if we already have to involve all that, what good is blockchain doing that "a database" can't do?

  • a list of games "Ahead of their time"
  • I'll give a mention to FUEL, an open-world offroad racing game with a map that was over 5,000 square miles. The racing itself was fairly medium, but the absolutely massive open-world is something that I can see in Forza Horizon and some others

  • How would you spend your time if you didn’t have to sell it to subsist?
    • Software side projects, including a serious crack at a game I've been noodling with in my head

    • Hardware side projects, starting with smart home stuff

    • The physical house-construction part of smart home stuff, and some other diy projects too

    • Mini painting and board gaming, especially trying to pull together some overlapping friend groups

    • And yeah, some time no-lifing a game or two

    This is Fitch!

    Using the migration Lemmy-wards to actually join in participating in some communities that I've traditionally just lurked in. This is Fitch at his desk - art by Hinotama. The original design was done for me by StampmatS and I love it so much.
