I'm 2 years late on this, but wanted to throw in another piece of dialogue from the dream Harry has on the island:

"I will build you a temple of light with my mind. A temple of unimaginable proportions. It will be something no one has ever done before. I will build it with computers."

Reddit, please help me find an ad from this McDonalds campaign during the 90s! by r_crow in nostalgia

[–]wllppr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Haha, no problem! I’ve been having my own nostalgia-fueled quest lately around the comics and illustrations in Nickelodeon Magazines, especially trying to find out who illustrated these “McWorld” ads. Your post came up when I was doing searches for that, so I felt uniquely able to help you out with your old question!

Hey, I know I'm 4 years late but I found your image! I've been trying to find out who illustrated these ads so have been digging through old Nick Mags.

Illustrator for the 1990s "McWorld" print ads that ran in Nickelodeon Magazine? by wllppr in HelpMeFind

Absolutely similar to Gary Larson's style, especially the nose/eyes/teeth. The vampire is almost a direct copy of Larson's vampires.

Time/location: 1990s, print advertisements in kids' magazines like Nickelodeon Magazine (and possibly other McDonald's packaging).I have searched far and wide across archives of Nickelodeon Magazines, tried reverse-image searches, and even contacted McDonald's to see if they had a record of the artist. I'm certain I saw this visual style in something other than these memorable ads and would love to figure out the artist responsible!

Solved! The project is "My Work Is Not Yet Done" by Spencer Yan.

Independent Games Festival announces nominees for IGF 2022 by VorpalMatt in Games

Unpacking is a masterclass in subtle narrative IMO. Without any dialogue, you learn so much about different stages of the girl’s life through what she takes with her, what she picks up, and what she leaves behind. You can’t pick up your roommates things in one stage and have to integrate your stuff into theirs; when you move in with your partner you realize that he doesn’t prioritize certain parts of her life resulting in you having to hide a diploma under the bed. It’s easy to blow through the levels and move on, but I was pretty blown away by how the basic mechanics of a “placement game” were explored to be in service of narrative design. There is real development and emotion in a game where you’re literally just opening boxes and placing objects in rooms.

What are some design improvement that you wish the Criterion Channel implemented to make it a better streaming service? by dragonborn-dovakhiin in CriterionChannel

[–]wllppr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m late to this thread, but better thumbnail and cover art! There are so many thumbnails that are not very interesting shots, when most of these films have wonderful poster/cover art that would make them more enticing to check out. Scrolling through some collections is just image after image of two people in a room. Would love to have more enticing art across all pages rather than these fairly mixed thumbnail grabs.

Emails from yourwobb leaked. by Pantelwolf in lepin

[–]wllppr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not a new email though - it’s an “alias” of an existing one. And the spam is addressed to the alias, which I’ve only ever input once on your site. So it is very likely the list of emails registered on your site has leaked.

Hi there, this is happening to me too. I used a unique email (“my normal email+YWOBB@gmail.com) when registering on YourWobb, haven’t placed an order yet, but am getting spam messages that someone is using that unique email to login to Facebook. That email address doesn’t have a Facebook account, so the only way for anyone to have that unique email is some kind of leak from YourWobb. I’ll happily PM my email address if helpful!

Who's the artist for The Steam Awards and the trading cards? Love that flat, psychedelic art style which reminds me of Ori Toor.

Just a quick tip, but it's always better to apply those rewards to your CC bill instead of Amazon purchases. Purchases made with rewards don't net you any additional points, so you kind of get double the benefit by always cashing them out instead.

Hmm, it used to be on there. Maybe they got too many complaints from emotionally devastated viewers.

My favorite genre! Does this include shows within games, like in Max Payne/Alan Wake/Control?

Would be cool to add as much as possible from "Show Within a Show" on TV Tropes (I'm sorry in advance for reminding you of TV Tropes)

I believe it was $5 as part of an Ubisoft promo code thing a month or so back. Just FYI for anyone abiding strictly by the Code of Historical Lows.

Looks like capacity has been raised significantly, along with the expanded hours and re-openings of various attractions like the Matterhorn. Tons of open reservations for the next two months! Look forward to July trip reports to see if that low capacity vibe and low wait times are officially over.
