Kevin Rose also left Digg at some point, not sure how much of that demise is on him. He had to buy it back for this second run.

I’ll have to take a look.

There were sealed and fake passages, but I don’t think there were traps.

My only reasoning for this is they may be worried about kids accidentally grabbing switch 1 joy cons and trying to use shove them in with the new switch. ( I know my niece just keeps all her stuff thrown in a box) Also to maybe avoid parents buying the wrong things for their kids.

They likely want to give an easy clear visual distinction between a switch joycon and a switch 2 joycon, until more people move over to the switch 2.

There seems to be a decent group on fediverse that just want steam gone.

Definitely not the kind of treasure people want to find later.

That also reminds me of the Oak Island supposed treasure in that pit.

Close. I work for big-pit-snakes. Who do you think supplies the ancient temples?

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.
