The other day I was writing in my notebook and then I opened it later to check, and everything that I wrote was there! If someone could get their hands on my notebook, they could read all my notes!
Oh, I got the Alone in the Dark trilogy the other day yeah and I don't think I ever got a free game on GOG before. But I'm pretty sure I unsubscribed from their newsletter when they sent the email this Thursday. I did it again, I hope it works this time, else gonna have to contact support.
Also I just tried to comment on a post on lemmy.world and got an error message saying language not allowed.
looks great
Well, I consider "classics" the ones from the '40s and '50s. My grandparents had a bunch of them on VHS and I'd always watch them when I was a kid, and back then I had no idea they were that old (Snow White, Pinocchio, Fantasia, Dumbo, Bambi, Cinderella, Alice in Wonderland, Peter Pan, Lady and the Tramp...). They are all beautiful pieces of animation, and Fantasia is quite interesting from a technical standpoint.
But my favorite cartoons are probably the ones from the '90s: Mulan, Tarzan, Hercules... - The Lion King was also a great feat of animation. Two other movies I watched a lot as a kid were Oliver & Company and The Aristocats.
However, as an adult, the only Disney movie I actually like and would rewatch is Cruella (2021)...
If we count Pixar, Wall-E was also cool, and I watched the first Toy Story tons of times.
To people downvoting: are you also mad that Valve/Epic/PSN/etc have to follow GDPR data regulations for EU citizens and keep representatives there, or is sovereignty only bad when a non–first-world country dares to claim it?
plot twist: it isn't the same guy in every panel.
Countries do this way more often than you think... they have always done that with movies preventing official releases or releasing edited versions, and as for games tons have localized versions since ever, from censorship of nudity in Japanese games in the USA market to censorship of Nazi flags in games in Germany and even LGBT references in tons of Eastern countries. I'd love if piracy exploded because fuck them billion dollar companies, but they usually just change a few art assets and that's it.
What type of content you fear your government may consider risky? Is someone there in a paranoia of video games causing violence?
Unless they would be banning stuff like GTA, Call of Duty and Battlefield entirely because of violence, I really doubt gamers would go out of their way in enough numbers to cause any ruckus just because they absolutely have to play the version of the game that has an LGBT flag in some building or certain character is transgender.
Insult isn't even a crime :P
edit: Shouldn't be a crime.
Unpopular Opinion: Adults that can't handle insults are overgrown children. Most of the time insults are to the detriment of the person insulting anyway.
You know that thing on video games that stuff is only rendered when the player is looking at it? A simulated universe could probably save a lot of energy by implementing something like that, like particles behaving like waves until observed.
A simulated universe would probably have some hard caps introduced to reduce computational needs, like some minimum temperature things can reach or max velocity.
Once I went to a children's birthday party and the place had this Arcade machine running emulators, I thought it was awesome. Then I went online and found HyperSpin and started building my own game wheels and stuff. I just wanted the controller and to plug the PC on a big TV and play, but all controllers I found to buy at the time had at best 10 buttons per player and it wasn't nearly enough to properly emulate a lot of games - not to mention only one Joystick wouldn't be enough to play a lot of games from Gen 6 and above (stuff that requires dual analog I'd rather play with a mouse on the computer than with a controller anyway), so I built that monstrosity.
I used to have a full mapping of how each emulator was configured there, but the PC I used to play died years ago and this controller has been sitting atop of my wardrobe since then. But the middle buttons are universal save and load and the top one is exit.
At the time (2013) I had made a blog showing how I built it hacking cheap USB PS2-like controller knock offs https://hsarcade.blogspot.com/p/blog-page.html (but the page is in Portuguese - and I had zero electronic knowledge at the time :P), anyway, I just wanted to share the controller I built.

There is a whole religion based on wanting to stop wanting.
