  • This is really interesting. I work in a casino and I’d say 90% of slot machines are now just video based.

    I’ve noticed when looking a far distance across the gaming floor, slot machines that are physically far away from me appear to have “choppy” reel movement when they spin. As I get closer, they smooth out. It’s really jarring at first and it made me think of video games where things in the far distance are rendered with low resolution models that are replaced with higher resolution models as you get closer.

    Maybe there is something to how we view refresh rates from distance that our eyes just lose frames or something.


  • There’s some real conspiracy theory stuff going on over at that site. I had coworkers that used to swear that smart meters put off more radiation than cell phone towers and were all going to die of cancer.

    This was all pre covid and I really haven’t heard anything about it from him since. Probably because there are juicier conspiracies to latch onto now.

    There’s not really any limits for content anymore. Look at Amazon’s The Boys.

    The way you play Fallout / Skyrim / Bethesda games might end up being a perfect format for a television adaption.

    You can have a main character and follow their travels in a really strange setting. You can have 1 off episodes with perticular styles much like the quests in the game. You can easily switch from a dark horror filled vault to a campy town the next episode. Kind of like the files would have lighter episodes then some really dark ones and occasionally an episode about the main characters.

    Because the fallout universe has a lot to be explored you a smart writing team could do a lot.

    TL;DR Gimme Twilight Zone in the wasteland








  • I loved them when they first came in. Then they started messing with the software. I have a grocery store near me that requires everything to be scanned with the build in scanner (no gun). And be placed on the belt to get weighed. That means cases of water, soda, anything else huge has to come out of the cart and put back every time.

    It makes me not want to shop for large items there. And I’m faster than most employees that run checkout.
