![Elements of Ultima VII were inspired by game developer Origin Systems' conflicts with competitor (and later owner) Electronic Arts. Origin Systems' corporate slogan was "We Create Worlds", while the main antagonist of the story – the Guardian – is presented as a "Destroyer of Worlds". The three evil "Generators" created by the Guardian in the game take the physical shapes of the contemporary Electronic Arts logo: a cube, a sphere, and a tetrahedron. Elizabeth and Abraham, two apparently benevolent characters who later turn out to be murderers, have the initials "E" and "A".[10] Electronic Arts would acquire Origin later that same year, on September 25, 1992.](https://programming.dev/pictrs/image/46119642-b731-4b7f-905e-df1c33d8829d.png)

Maybe she’s the kind that makes the iron hot by striking.
AsklemmyI don’t think X4 would fit as overrated, since even the fans are quick to point out how much jank and questionable design you have to put up with in order to play

That one does make some “out of context” panels harder to post, at least when it comes to foreign languages. If a mod deems this one breaks that rule, i’m ok with that

simpsonsshitpostingSimply changing the extension wouldn’t work because each image type has a specific header - even changing a .png to .jpg wouldn’t work - and organizes the actual image data in different ways.
The header is what actually identifies the file type. For webp, it’s called the RIFF header and it must be 21 bytes (it’s a standardized specification, btw). For jpeg, the header is only 2 bytes and has the values FF D8. In theory, this means that you could even rename the file to image.zip and, if you opened it in an appropriate program, it would read the header and still render it properly
Why not SmallBasic then? You could even point them to old computer magazines and see which codes they can get running without much workaround.
I have that problem avif, especially on lemmy, as it opens as a new tab instead of loading the image below the post title. A bunch of android apps I use don’t recognize avif either
No Stupid QuestionsThe difference between you doing that and a megacorp doing that (amazon) is that the megacorp has a lot of money to keep doing that for years
PC GamingHad a similar problem with Heroes of Might and Magic 5, once I started a game, the map was black, I think only some magical-like effects would show. There was also a weird stuttering even in the music in the main menu

Had a RPG colleague try and argue that getting data on TV viewers’ habits was more reliable than what Netflix could have on their own users, because “[Netflix] doesn’t know whether the person is actually sitting down and watching, or sleeping on the couch”. I couldn’t get through his thick skull that TV viewers’ habits aren’t magically measured, only a small percentage of homes, usually only in the largest metropolitan city no less, have (or had, in the past) some specific equipment that tracked which channels were being viewed, while any internet service can get super accurate info on their users.
