3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

They make a TV show out of everything nowadays, don't they?

Your spoiler for the signature is broken BTW.

Which client are you using? This is what it looks like for me on programming.dev

Sync

It's really annoying

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Wtf who are you and why do you have my name?

[–] [email protected] 13 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Hi June

I'm @[email protected] whereas you are @[email protected]

[–] [email protected] 6 points 7 months ago (1 children)

You still have my name and it’s weird. But I like you now so all good.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 7 months ago

(☞ﾟヮﾟ)☞

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Thanks for the screenshot. Maybe you have to open a bug report for Sync. I'll switch this instead

It also does not work for Boost. Gets old real quick.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago

Yeah, Boost needs a bug report too then. It hasn't implemented one of Lemmy's features...

It's not working for me on Sync at least.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Of course every client has to implement their own parsing 🙄 I guess I'll go with this

That's better, working on browser now. At first I was ready to report you since I thought it was just spam.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Looks good in Thunder!

Now that's a good client! I'll see what happens. If I get getting questions about "why are you doing this" and "how are you doing this?", I'll just go back to the spoiler and people using broken clients can block me if they like.

Creating a film or TV about a well known video game franchise is a safe bet for film companies as they don't need to get the audience interested in a new story, just re use an old one that already has some fans who'll just have to watch it. Probably helps the videogame publisher as well, especially if the film leaves you wanting more

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I'm not so sure about it being a safe bet. There have been a few good adaptations, but in general I'm very cautious and expect the worst because there has just been so much more garbage that completely ignored everything that made the games great.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

For someone who never played the fallout or the withcher games should I feel left out if the show runners ignore some of the canons of the games/source?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

What? Do you mean that the shows would require prior knowledge of the source if the showrunners didn't ignore it? Doubt it. I mean a book is a book and a game is a game and not a film or tv show, some changes are expected in the adaptation because it wouldn't work otherwise. But there's a difference to just ignoring stuff, can still make it low barrier for people who don't know the source.

[+] [email protected] -8 points 7 months ago

Of course. It's just unoriginal. But that's fine. I don't have to watch it.

I felt the same way, then I saw glowing reviewed, watched a few episodes and it's good. I didn't have to be. I didn't expect it to be. Yet so far it is.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago

Hmmm... it'll be on my watchlist for when I'm bored. Cheers.

Never played the fallout games except for brotherhood of steel. I don't really know the story. wether they stay true to the game or not is not a big deal to me just like the Witcher.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

It's an open world game series with 4 games. It's been so long since I played them, I barely remember what happened and where it's canon or not. So, I'm practically in the same boat 🙂
