oh hella yes i can't wait, MAX IS BACK!
lost records is looking amazing as well though
oh damn. that would have been fun though
William's camera looks like a spectra system (as in, the camera literally called "spectra system", as opposed to the system of cameras called "spectra" collectively -- yeah, polaroid was really frickin dumb with names), but unfortunately those are no longer supported. it's kinda crazy, they died twice, the original polaroid stopped producing film in 2008, and then the impossible project resurrected the format again, got successful enough to even reclaim the polaroid name, only for them to cut production of spectra in particular in 2019, to free up an underutilized production line and prop up their "go" line of cameras (yup, they inherited the bad names too).
the spectra system camera doesn't quite look like the one Max uses throughout the game, dontnod did the changes well (they actually had a perfect recreation of a polaroid 636 in the 2014 demo but they seemed to have got some legal beef with polaroid and debranded all the cameras), but it is quite recognizable. shame that it doesn't work, it was a really cool one. the closest currently functional cameras they got are the impulse and impulse af, and i could wholeheartedly recommend the autofocus variant, it's genuinely one of the best cameras polaroid ever made imo.
the camera Max has in the beginning of the game looks like any old clamshell-design polaroid 600 camera. they actually never produced those in old computer beige, the closest color options are the striking yellow of the job pro, or the 50th anniversary edition sun 660. for general use, i'd recommend any of the ones with the massive gold autofocus dish -- there actually is a perfectly rendered picture of a sun 660 in Chloe's journals in before the storm, so that could be considered quasi-canon, even.
but in a way, the curved 90s design of the 636 close-up and its many rebrands (generally polaroid did that a lot, like way more than you'd expect) could also be considered quasi-canon, because of that 2014 demo.
yup, it was definitely an inspiration to life is strange
sooo cute
likewise! i hope you'll enjoy it here then
and yet you should be allowed in a kfc? double standards smh
counterpoint: quick broen fox is corporatized af while sphinx of black quartz has one hell of a vibe. you're right that the fox is comfy because the cozy zone is the only spot where fun and corpos intersect and this one just so happens to fall into it but keeping it people-centric was never the point.
case in point: the test sentence we use in my native language translates to "floodproof mirror drill" to test out all our weird diacritics. no autumn vibes there, only corpos
they spent 10 figures on openai already. 8 figures for the whole openai team is pennies
the average lemmy user has 3 alts factoid is just statistical error. the average lemmy user has 0 alts. alts georg, who lives on linux.community apparently and has 20,000 alts, is a statistical outlier adn should not be counted
yup, and when in doubt, just do some few-shot prompting
do you have an example of the russian federation getting attacked by a near-peer adversary without the now defunct soviet union defending it?
