Unless it’s just another one of those perspective photos where the ground is just a foot or two under them, overlooking the site from above. Seemed to be a common photo technique back then to inflate scale.

That’s not to say there were not dangerous working conditions back then, but photographers also knew how to engineer stunning photos.

Are you crazy?! How are you supposed to make a profit if you have to give the money back?! /s

Sometimes when I place my hand just above his head, he does the ‘stand on two legs, paws up, I’m too cute’ stance to meet me the rest of the way.

I would object because of the bureaucracy. It would cost less to make a new one. Then you could do both. And in 5000 years we might get new alien conspiracies about why we have two sets of pyramids in two different time periods.

At the risk of now upsetting cryptobros (but no, I’m sure they understand all too well): we need laws. not blockchain. Even if the perfect solution was created (looks at physical), there is no incentive for publishers to use it.

And we’ve already seen what amazing things publishers have done with blockchain. /s

I know this sucks, but idk how to feel about it. I had a large collection of physical games, much like I’d imagine most gamers do, only to one day come home and find it all stolen. Insurance pulled the rug on me, and I didn’t get much for any of it. Since then I’ve bought everything digital and, while I know it can happen, I haven’t had any taken from me since. Of course, buying all the games physically would have been way more expensive as some of them are rare collectables now. I’m just happy I get to play them. I know I could lose it all again on a whim of some CEO, but I just feel there isn’t any reasonable solution.

Make sure you guys keep receipts, take pictures, secure your games, and pay extra for any collectables insurance. And don’t let insurance dictate the aggregate value lost, itemize everything and get quotes. You’ll still get ripped off, but hopefully you can rebuild what’s important if it happens to you.

I’m not suggesting the following is standard, but the specific sound my car makes allows for people to not just hear the car, but to also know what direction the sound is coming from. The sound is engineered this way.

Compare this with those utility trucks that have those signature “reverse/backing up” (beep…beep…beep) sounds. You can hear it, but it’s almost impossible to tell from what direction. It’s been a complaint by blind people, and there’s still worker incidents where they step into a moving path of a vehicle despite the sound.

You can even make sounds that work against this technique. Home audio systems use directional audio to give the effect of sounds being in certain locations. I wouldn’t want people to be able to change a car sound to something that is more dangerous.

Serious answer? By making a game that targets a vulnerable group that preys on loneliness and declining mental capacity. This speaks less about “what games would old people play and enjoy” and more about “how to leverage abusive techniques to maximize the extraction of wealth”.
