@ryanallen316 Time-blindness doesn’t mean you can’t read a clock and just guess when you have to leave.

[dragnetrunner @Dragnetrunner]

@TheCatholicEngr It’s “time blindness” not “time travel.”

@lukeisamazing My vote is Walt Disney. But I can see the argument for Lucas.

@AndrewOMullen It’s actually BECAUSE I watch a lot of films and study thm that I recognize bad cinematography, but go ahead and insult me, I guess.

The “no it’s supposed to look bad” is a pretty weak argument btw

@creatine_cycle Damn, Cronenberg’s still got it!

@KPMorningstar @django If Indy isn’t in the movie Marion is killed at the bar, the Nazis get the real medallion and the correct location of the ark, they open the ark and die, and the next group of Nazis takes the ark and figures out how to open it safely and use it to win the war.

@ThatchEffendi Yes, Gibson’s stories are a huge influence on ALL cyberpunk, but the Cyberpunk TTRPG actually takes even more influence from Walter Jon Williams’s Hardwired, itself based on Zelazny’s Damnation Alley. It’s cyberpunk books all the way down.

[dragnetrunner @Dragnetrunner]

@ThatchEffendi Cyberpunk 2077 is based on a TTRPG that predates Johnny Mnemonic.

@The__Goomba Counterpoint; speaking as an American, most of us never think about New Hampshire.

@sbodrojan I’m Gen X and don’t do TikTok but I was discussing with a friend how Obsession feels like it was made to be easily clippable for TikTok. The nearly square aspect ratio, completely stationary camera, and dead center framing of every shot all contribute to that feeling.

@HerDepth @HKNoShitter @JeremiahDJohns 99% of all cinema is absolutely not available to stream. Hell, Netflix barely has any movies available earlier than the 90s!

@BunkerDwellerYT Anime and video games. That’s the biggest influence on modern fantasy art.

@jackrwilkie Ironically it’s mostly Millennials who made Journey popular again. Them and Queen. As a Gen X’er, Journey was generally considered a joke by most of my peers.

@Layyenne Saw it in the theater and it was amazing on the big screen. I think Valerian was miscast. Great actor, but not right for that role. Valerian is supposed to be a Flash Gordon/Buck Rogers-type. Chris Hemsworth would have been a better fit.

@clernck You might not like it but this is what peak RPG world design looks like.

@upstatefederlst 80s kid here. I wouldn’t say “regularly” but yeah we watched or at least were familiar with a lot of 50s and 60s film and television. There was no streaming back then and most people didn’t have cable yet, so you had to watch whatever was on tv.

@Alison_is_lost In the early days of computer games Text Adventures were an extremely popular genre. As graphics improved they dropped the “text” moniker. Generally an Adventure game means a “point-n-click” style game, like Monkey’s Island, but also games like Myst.

@celinedionysus_ Yeah, like imagine a bunch of fairy tales where the protagonist is named Jack…

[dragnetrunner @Dragnetrunner]

@jaketropolis A lot of folks mentioning encyclopedias, and yeah, but also magazines were very popular pre-internet. You could find them pretty much at any convenience store or grocery store and people frequently would subscribe to magazines that catered to particular interests and hobbies.
