"The Big Dipper as it is today (left) and as it will look in 50,000 years." Dream of stars. 1940.
I'm just gonna slide this on in here for anyone that is interested in preserving old games. They take it very seriously too, they want an archive of every single game. Like, they have lists of every game ever released for a system, and once that system gets old enough, they add it to their archive and start collecting. Their latest addition was the Xbox 360, they opened that vault up in September 2022, and proudly announced they'd finished their collection of games for it back in April.
Also, while their game archives are almost entirely complete, they've got another project of archiving the manuals that came with those games, and that is... considerably less well filled out. Their collection of Xbox 360 manuals is especially rough, they've only gotten manuals for three games. So if you've got some Xbox 360 games kicking around, and the manual's still with them, please consider scanning them and submitting them to the site!
Game preservation is important, but people rarely consider preserving the manuals as well; I really respect Vimm's Lair for being so thorough in their archival work.

I just saw someone say the words "jokingly gaslight" this might be a good time to reintroduce the internet to the terms "lying" or perhaps "pranking" or even just "joking" on it's own
Okay, say it with me guys…
If you are giving someone wrong information in the hopes that they'll believe that it's true, then that's lying.
If you are giving someone wrong information under the assumption that they'll ultimately realise that it's false, and that they will find this funny, then that's joking.
If you are giving someone wrong information in the hopes that they'll believe that it's true and that their response will be funny, then that's a prank.
If you are giving someone wrong information in the hopes that they will notice the differences between your presentation of reality and their perception of it, and come to doubt their ability to judge what is and is not real, then that's gaslighting.
now dont leave this in the tags
If you are giving someone wrong information and you assume they will know it is wrong, in hopes that they will play along, then that’s a bit.
Dinner time fellas
That bitch didnt stand a chance
HE FUCKING ATE HER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is called the "analog loophole" and there's nothing anyone can do to stop it. They can encrypt and copy-protect all they want, but eventually the file has to be sent to a speaker and/or screen, and it has to get there in a human-readable form because that's the whole dang point
The simplest way to exploit the analog loophole is just pointing a camera at a screen or a microphone at a speaker, but direct recording is also always possible and always will be. Anything that can be displayed can be saved and displayed again
I’m probably in some weird artsy minority here, but I would really love to see less emphasis on realism in movies. I think trying to make everything look ultra-realistic puts too much focus on special effects. They suck up budget and audience attention, if they’re even slightly off-kilter they become a laughingstock, and they’re increasingly mandatory even for stories that don’t involve robots or aliens.
Meanwhile, in theater a flashlight with some orange paper on it can be a “fire” and everyone’s cool with that. You get the idea and that’s what counts. And by asking the audience to actively participate in suspension of disbelief, it can draw them even more into the story.
I wouldn’t want every movie to go this route, but I wish it were considered more of a legitimate artistic choice.

The photo appears to have been taken by Armando Gallardo, a photojournalist. The picture was taken on the one-year anniversary of Occupy Wall Street, hence the heavy police presence. The advertisement itself is for a fake security company in the TV series Hunted, akin to having a billboard advertising signing up to be a Stormtrooper in advance of a Star Wars movie, or something like that.
