The term Luddite is usually used as an insult. It suggests someone who is backward-looking, averse to progress, afraid of new technology, and frankly, not that bright. But Brian Merchant claims that that is not who the Luddites were at all.

On December 15, 1811, the London Statesman issued a warning about the state of the stocking industry in Nottingham. Twenty thousand textile workers had lost their jobs because of the incursion of automated machinery.

Do you like Star Wars lore? Exactly how much do you like Star Wars lore? I ask because A Very Brief Analysis: The Phantom Menace is 12 hours long and is chock full of Star Wars lore. "This is not a defence of Episode 1, nor is it an attack. The idea is a detailed, fair, and informed analysis. We'll go over the entire movie, giving credit and blame as needed."

E se Super Mario Bros. Wonder fosse um jogo NES de 1988?

Esse foi um projeto muito audacioso, pois além do 3D e do 2D, tive que fazer toda a pixel art do suposto jogo de NES!

Muitos dos gráficos que aparecem no gameplay eu consegui graças ao site https://www.spriters-resource.com

Também fiz a narração (peço desculpas).

No comercial é possível ver um "Wario" de capa correndo do Toad carregando um cogumelo. Esse "Wario" é uma homenagem ao Alexsandro Magalhães dos canais @cedjogos e @AlexsandroMagalhaes

Eu espero que você tenha gostado!

Outra coisa, aproveite e torne-se um “Amigo Apoiador” (membro) do canal para me ajudar a continuar produzindo esses vídeos!

<![CDATA[Black Swan events disrupting or delaying (pop) cultural releases]]> http://ask.metafilter.com/mefi/367655

I am looking for examples of (pop) cultural events/releases that were delayed or cancelled because an unforeseeable event eerily echoed their content in some way.

For instance, I just discovered that Kylie Minogue's 6th album 'Impossible Princess' was delayed by almost a year because Princess Diana died just before its planned release in 1997 (obviously because of the proposed title).

What other cultural creations suffered similar setbacks because of absolutely unpredictable circumstances (so-called 'Black Swan' events)? Three others that came to mind were:

  • Nintendo's recent delay of 'Advance Wars 1+2: Re-Boot Camp' for the Switch because of the war in Ukraine.

  • The infamous summer 2001 trailer for Spiderman depicted a helicopter suspended between the World Trade Towers. This scene then, quite possibly because of the events of 9/11, never made it into the final movie.

  • And a more obscure one... the recall and reissue of UK Indie band The Bluetones' single 'Cut Some Rug', because the artwork depicted a classroom emptying... an image that then eerily echoed the tragic school shooting at Dunblane school in 1996.

All four of these examples are because of a serious, tragic event taking place that strangely echoed their proposed content. These are the kind of things I am thinking about, though they need not necessary be considered 'tragic' to count.
