Movies, TV, comics, Video Games, books, etc. People in this thread have already named a few. But as you point out, archeology in reality is rarely what we see in mainstream entertainment.
Ah the Terracotta army was used in one of The Mummy movies.
Would that make lawyers modern day archeologists?
Step 1. Have money.
I’m surprised there hasn’t been a modern day person that buried their fortune with them under puzzles and traps.
I know there tends to be a disagreement about this on Lemmy, but this is also what I have observed.
For example, If someone has a computer problem and its windows, there’s a good chance the top comment will be “Stop, use linux”. Almost any conversation can turn into “you’re supporting capitalism”. It discourages people from wanting to post and engage, because of the likely hood of something turning into an argument. Not everyone has the mental bandwidth for it, and they just want a place to come and chill.
Hell I used to be active in making Cassettefuturism grow when lemmee was a thing, and we’d get people coming into that niche community to argue with us about our hobby.
The difference between Reddit and Lemmy was that niche communities would usually not hit the front page and you could be off in your own little corner. Here since things are smaller, you are more likely to run into some niche communities through discovery.
One of those big 6 will buy up Amc or Regal in a few years.
My assumption is we may go backwards in time to when studios had theaters. Disney, Comcast, Paramount, Sony, Amazon and maybe Netflix will have their own movies theaters. That way all the money goes directly to them.
I would love to even be a one hit wonder. That’s already mathematically rare.
There are some laptops where the screen flips over, I have one of those laptops. I have to say I only use that feature like once every 3months or so.
If we’re naming Sat Wars, the Andor series has a good heist arc.
If I had to guess, “athletes” was the first thing that popped into their head. But I have to assume they mean people who don’t “arguably” contribute to furthering of humanity. So Actors, musicians, athletes vs doctors, teachers, scientists, etc.
I think the seeds may have been planted with the radio. Once athletes became celebrities it was only a matter of time. I know little about baseball, but even I know who Babe Ruth was, who played into the 1930s. TV blowing up in the 40s added an additional layer of connecting the names to the faces. This eventually gave way for MTV to come into the mix creating the beginnings of modern pop culture.
I think the weak logic it may have, is that time “slowly” changes. Like how Marty’s future slowly starts changing over the course of the first film.
Interesting. The first half of this video is a hallway. Nothing in this teaser got me excited. The little game play we got looks like all the previous Megaman games. With so many indie people putting a spin on the originals, I really hope the next trailer has real content.
The shot of the kid with the broom left me so hopeful for all the new things I thought were coming. All the retreading that Episode 9 did left me disappointed.
This would be an interesting comic strip. A company that has purchased all the fonts in existence, and then the artist doing the comic you are reading gets sued by the company he’s making a comic about, because he doesn’t have the rights to the font.
I love turn based tactics games. They do tend to suffer the same issue as most RPGs in that you try to 1hko everything at the end. I’ll wait for a few reviews before deciding if I’ll add this to my list.
I don’t think we’re all simping. We’re just having discourse. Which means we’re all allowed to have varying opinions on topics. That should be the joy of lemmy, having conversations with people and learning from one another.
Agreed. I think they should have different pricing structures. There isn’t much real new effort going into placing old games onto new carts.
Close. I work for big-pit-snakes. Who do you think supplies the ancient temples?
