I suppose this is what getting older feels like.

I remember in the early 3D days, 2 sequels with a 7 year gap would have looked vastly different. I just started KCD1 after finishing KCD2 and even though it is 7 years older, it looks identical.

To put into perspective: the gap between MGS1 and MGS2 was just 3 years.

tbf, MGS1 and MGS2 were different console generations...

although the same is true for KCD1/2.

it is insane how were reaching the end of the Moore law.

Still remember being blown away by the flight in banjo tooei, that I saw in a store, now everyone just starts at such mechanical depth.

2 more years and crisis is 20 years ago

Next year "Psych" would be 20 years old. It is not a video game but I find it just as mind blowing...

Wow, I've been meaning to get around to watching it for that long?

[–] pseudo@jlai.lu 4 points 1 week ago

You did not watch it yet?! Start now. I keep watching it over and over for almost 20 years and I'm always surprise by the jokes, the character dynamics, the food and film references... 8 seasons, 3 movies and it did not stop too late (^_^)

Thanks, now I can’t get Delfino Plaza out of my head again.

Thank you, imgur.

Edit: Now Sync says, that it could not load the video. Sad...

[–] floo@retrolemmy.com 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Sadly, I can’t see it. But I’m glad you can.

[–] LemUrun@pawb.social 3 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I thanked for the message, that image doesn't exist xD

[–] everett@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

This just made me realize most really don't thank the website every time a page loads, wtf ingrates.

[–] LemUrun@pawb.social 0 points 1 week ago

Most of the time internet just works and not every site has "We're sorry, resource not found" message.

[–] oce@jlai.lu 1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (1 children)

I think it doesn't display because the commenter used the "album" url: https://imgur.com/a/XRjTyIm.
The direct mp4 link to the underlying video works better. or WebM?

[–] LemUrun@pawb.social 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

And Lemmy doesn't support them, yet.

[–] oce@jlai.lu 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I don't think it will happen. Imgur used to be well supported by reddit because it was created for redditors. But since then they have done their own things, making the host function less convenient and they are not a reliable long term image storage anymore.

I think catbox is the new hotness
