A bunch of newfags have been shitting up the site with shitposting and now it sucks. That thread just got bumped out. I only check in like once a month now. Real sad to see it's current state.

:ReadOnlyException:
is the mebi broken?

alot because then they dont have power over men sexually.

No seriously, you bunch of ugly fat faced, wet, snivelling traitors.

i put fedora on my laptop the other day. its like a latitude 3180 someone ot me, it has 4gb ram and on windows was really slow but now its super fast and has 50gb more memory because it purged the widows aids.

Recently, I dug up my old PSP Go I used as a kid and turned it into a retro game emulator. I used it for years when my parents bought it for me back in 2009 and I remember dropping it, getting water on it, and just the general abuse I put it through being a kid and all. Let me tell you, these things are resilient, and I feel like there should be something said about the strength and quality of older electronics, but that's for another day.

When I found it, there was dust all over and the screen was hanging off from the ribbon display cable. I found the original charger and it charged like normal and started right up with all my save data still there from well over a decade ago.

I originally found it just to play Dissidia Final Fantasy again, which was more an impulse decision than anything. In the process of doing that, however, I found that there's an entire community of modders that make plug ins and emulators for the PSP, so after getting Final Fantasy going I decided to download any and every game my heart desired. This included classics from the PSP like Dissidia, SOCOM, Syphon Filter, MGS Peace Walker etc, but also included Gameboy, DS, Atari, and even PS1 games that looked and played incredibly well.

The memory on these things is a measly 16gb which was a big deal, at the time, but kind've a joke in today's 2 tb hard drive world. Sony had a remedy for this, as did most handhelds back then, with the addition of an SD port.

So just buy a 128 gig SD card, no biggie, right? Well, no, Sony had something to say about that too. They wanted their products to be completely proprietary, which is so strange looking back, but I guess most companies did that back then. You could only use the Sony branded M2 memory cards, which would net you an extra 16 gigs at most, which was still not much more.

Well guess what? Today, people make nonproprietary converters for the PSP SD port specifically, that let your use any SD card from any brand and almost any size.

Now, after tightening the loose screws back up, cleaning out the internals, adding way more storage capacity and loading a bunch of new software onto this neat little device, it's better and has more potential than it ever did back in 09. The sound only works if I have headphones in, but I think that adds a little character to it haha

It's fascinating to see just how much we've progressed in the software world after having reacquainted myself with Post too long. Click here to view the full text.

I don't personally have a favorite medium for story telling, I think there are great and terrible examples for all of them. I do find myself becoming more easily emotionally attached to writing, however. I'm not sure why, but I think it's probably because having a visual lets me detach from it and add a degree of separation between me and the characters. I wouldn't say writing is necessarily "better" than a movie, although I don't get the sense that's what you're trying to say, I think that certain methods of story telling suit one format better and more easily than the other.
I have to say I'm iffy on adaptations. On one hand, It allows someone to see a very fleshed out version of someone else's interpretation. It's also condenses the book into a more digestible package for most, especially if the book is a difficult read or not one that the moviegoer may otherwise read. And generally, they get the main plot points correct. On the other hand, many details and nuances are left out entirely. Not mention that movies aren't just one person, they're essentially a game of telephone when it comes to communicating the interpretation of a book.
While adaptations do pigeon-hole people into seeing only one interpretation and only seeing it as "correct," I've never really had a problem with it. The way I see it, adaptations are very much for some people and not others. I just don't view others' adaptations to not influence myself too much. Or I'll view as many as possible to "give myself options" as far as visualizing text goes. And as far as influencing other adaptations or expansions of the story, such as the Gollum game example you gave, I view it as two different versions of the same story. I know the OG book version and it's description, and other's know the movie one. Like if I read one translation of a book while most people read a version with a different translator.
TL;DR: They're not my cup of tea, and I don't think they should stop being made, mostly because I don't consider an adaptation truly the same story as the source.

In my childhood I had similar feelings as OP, I even could not stand illustrations in books very much, because in my opinion they were always wrong, that is different from my personal interpretation.
But as I grew older, I began to see adaptations (or at least the good ones among them) more as works in their own right, inspired by but still fundamentally different from the adapted work. Although, of course, I must admit that there are genres that are clearly less suited to adaptation than others.
The basic problem, therefore, in my eyes, is much more the modern film industry, (Yes, exactly -industry!) whose goal is not to create a work of art, but merely mindless entertainment. Of course, nothing of quality will come from them.
