@roadrunner i generally dislike movie remakes but i think it's potentially allright to do if you're just making the movie with a sharper camera and like
idk
less racism, or something else that was bogging the original down. Games are sadly far more complex and failure prone, you can't just copy them onto a disk with higher data density.
In practice a lot of remakes are bullshit though

@roadrunner some games simply do not need to be remade, but re-releases are good for preservation purposes. Some games DO need to be overhauled. In many cases "product of it's time" means that it's inaccessible, buggy, causes seizures, won't work on multicore CPUs, has no useful settings to speak of, impossible to play legally, impossible to play with modern peripherals & full of absolute bullshit that seemed ok at the time (arbitrary and non-signposted critical path, obnoxious copy protection)

hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh love having a coworker who spends hours in the day staring/giggling at "marriage suck because woman bad" memes

@melt@mastodon.social hi! welcome

@HTHR@cybre.space that sounds like america in real life

youtube is having a lot of trouble today

@cat by design! It was initially sarcastic, since' it's completely impossible

Apple advert plays, showing sweeping shots of a black glass orb with a silver apple logo on it. The voice says: "Get the new Apple Orb
what does it do? fuck you. Fuck you for even asking. Don't drop it. Don't say we didn't warn you."
Text fades onscreen, it reads: "Starts at $999999 for 64GB version"

2019 article: "The new iphone revelutionises tech again by detecting nearby devices and charging you money for every single one that apple didn't make. It's made entirely from a new type of glass which can bend and now there's 2 notches. 1 of them doesn't do anything, it's just there to confuse you"

@jk i hope the rumours about their next device are true and it's just a hermetically sealed glass slab

@jk it would also help if anyone there gave a shit about making hardware instead of technologically advanced jewellery

@jk its been like 5 years since ive engaged with any aspect of apple's ecosystem and it's all been downhill in that time so i regret nothing
