I love the books and would like to see a 1:1 adaptation so I have no interest in the Apple show, but I've been told the show is good if you pretend the books do not exist.
I'll come clean and say I haven't read Sandman (yet) but I thought the show was really damn good. I've seen a lot of readers and critics praising it too. It's definitely worth cheking out.
I have seen a few of these with similar story lines and realized we are living it right now. They have the best healthcare, the best food, the best everything and most of us are a few dollars from disaster. That scares some of us to death literally from all the stress it causes.
Dear patient lemmings, I am in need of your help. I’m searching for games that have some GOD DAAMN OSTs and come with a great story or/and gameplay....
Sonic games usually have great music but Sonic Mania in particular is full of bangers, highly recommend it.
Undertale's soundtrack has been memed to death but it's honestly really good.
If you're still in the mood for visual novels the Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney games have some incredible soundtracks too.
Also, for something slower, I must give a shout out to The Sims 1. It's suave as hell and very, very catchy.
No, too many variables. We only know that a Volvo PV544 isn't effective against that particular Swedish submarine. We now need to crash several different cars against several different submarines several times, for science!
I wonder what would happen if Bethesda gave a few of the best modders full access to the game's code and to the latest version of the engine. I bet they could come up with a current gen remake in under a year without the involvement of a single Bethesda dev.
Well, in such a scenario I'm also making two assumptions:
That the modders are indeed being paid by Bethesda to work full-time on it since it's meant to be sold when finished (not unlike Skyrim Special Edition, only made by modders)
There's a way to add code and assets from existing mods to their remake. If they have to make it all from scratch then yeah, a year is not enough.
GOG not having a native Linux client baffles me, like, there's this whole bunch of people who clearly care about software freedom and your store focusing on selling DRM-free games will just ignore them? Oh well. At least we have Heroic.
It's a shame they cancelled Inside Job. In fact, if they stopped cancelling great original shows after only 1-2 seasons I'd have nothing negative to say about Netflix.
This week the Slackware Linux project is celebrating its 30th anniversary. It is the oldest Linux distribution that is still in active maintenance and development.
For me it was Boost (also Joey, but for a much shorter time). Jerboa works fine I guess but I'm really looking forward to the release of Boost for Lemmy.

There have been reports of YouTubers I watch getting sick after eating food in third world countries. However, these countries are also home to a large number of people who do not get sick from eating the same food. I think this suggests that the locals may have developed stronger immune systems. What do you think?
Not sure what country you're talking about but as someone born and raised in a third-world country with free, universal healthcare I can tell you I'm offended.
Whether you started with a 2600 and a joystick in your hand, an N64 with a blistered palm or building your first PC in your teens, what is that one video game you've played at some point that to this day sits at the top of your list.
Twilight Princess was my entry into the series and even though I probably wouldn't enjoy it today as much as I am enjoying TOTK (I am a sucker for open-world games) it is still is my favorite Zelda.
Terry's story is equally fascinating and heart-breaking. It's sweet how his story hasn't been forgotten, in fact some people are currently modernizing TempleOS through a fork called Zeal OS. It's even on github and all: https://github.com/Zeal-Operating-System/ZealOS
I love GOG and their anti-DRM stance but I just can't bring myself to buy games there when they don't even have a native Linux launcher. Steam, on the other hand, just works.

That's fair but what if, say, the "news" instance dies/goes offine or something along these lines, isn't all the content it hosts going to be lost or become inaccessible? Not sure how the whole thing works but it's something that's been concerning me. With redundant communities across multiple instances at least the whole topic won't go down with any single instance.
What's a sci-fi or fantasy book or series that you want to see adapted as a movie/television series?

I feel like we're all stuck in a movie where all the rich people live on some kind of floating island or satellite with everything they need to live well, and all of us have zero chance of going there
