Kevin Rose also left Digg at some point, not sure how much of that demise is on him. He had to buy it back for this second run.

I’ll have to take a look.

There were sealed and fake passages, but I don’t think there were traps.

My only reasoning for this is they may be worried about kids accidentally grabbing switch 1 joy cons and trying to use shove them in with the new switch. ( I know my niece just keeps all her stuff thrown in a box) Also to maybe avoid parents buying the wrong things for their kids.

They likely want to give an easy clear visual distinction between a switch joycon and a switch 2 joycon, until more people move over to the switch 2.

There seems to be a decent group on fediverse that just want steam gone.

Definitely not the kind of treasure people want to find later.

That also reminds me of the Oak Island supposed treasure in that pit.

Close. I work for big-pit-snakes. Who do you think supplies the ancient temples?

Movies, TV, comics, Video Games, books, etc. People in this thread have already named a few. But as you point out, archeology in reality is rarely what we see in mainstream entertainment.

Ah the Terracotta army was used in one of The Mummy movies.

Would that make lawyers modern day archeologists?

Step 1. Have money.

I’m surprised there hasn’t been a modern day person that buried their fortune with them under puzzles and traps.

I know there tends to be a disagreement about this on Lemmy, but this is also what I have observed.

For example, If someone has a computer problem and its windows, there’s a good chance the top comment will be “Stop, use linux”. Almost any conversation can turn into “you’re supporting capitalism”. It discourages people from wanting to post and engage, because of the likely hood of something turning into an argument. Not everyone has the mental bandwidth for it, and they just want a place to come and chill.

Hell I used to be active in making Cassettefuturism grow when lemmee was a thing, and we’d get people coming into that niche community to argue with us about our hobby.

The difference between Reddit and Lemmy was that niche communities would usually not hit the front page and you could be off in your own little corner. Here since things are smaller, you are more likely to run into some niche communities through discovery.

I am also team 6yrs. I may just get a refurbished version of this phone again.

I do think some snooping is normal, especially given how secretive teens become. But as with everything there a lines to be drawn.

As much as I’d dream of this. If the blue states left, it would tank the red economy and make them pissy. They would then pull a Russia and try to force back those states. You’d then have old US being attacked by Mexico, Canada and New US. The other issue is that most of the weapons of mass destruction are currently residing mostly red states.

Since this side of the world would be in turmoil, I’d have to assume Russia and China would take advantage of that for their own gains.

That is pretty smart, but that parent would have founds poems suspicious. This is the same parent that said their kid had somehow convinced all their teachers to lie about them going to chess club to cover for her, because of course they were outside being up to no good.

I used up so much of my youth on mIRC. I was even on a server that had a make shift 1 pn 1 yugioh online battling platform that I believe also ran through irc. Those were the days.

They would have 100% gotten in trouble for using cyphers.
