      My favorite old video game thing was old mirrors. In Duke Nukem 3D, mirrors were really just invisible walls between two rooms, one is the room the player can enter, and one is a room that looks exactly like that one flipped, that would then spawn a sprite of Duke that moves with the player's input whenever the player walks into the room.

      Also, this is how real mirrors work and this is not up for debate.

        I remember one of the first times feeling really convinced by a mirror in game was the first release of the game Prey

        The beginning scene when the alien abducts you from a bar you could see yourself in the bathroom mirror.

        Reminds me of a setup in VtM:B where it looks like a fake mirror like that, except it's actually a window between two rooms and the NPCs idling in it are just mirrored between the two rooms to start with.

    Is this how democracy dies? With thunderous wailing about missing McNuggets?

    I like how they actually put effort into putting price tags over the photos of items that aren't there.

      The way they're bending it almost looks like they're just part of the picture on the curtain-poster (I have no idea what one would actually call that sort of thing; I assume it's a big posterboard being hung like a curtain over the shelf, so that's the best way I can think of it to refer to it).

    Why not do this with all the disasters of capitalism. Matte paintings of forests and rivers over the charred hills and dry riverbeds, huge styrofoam blocks in the melting poles, and tall posters covering the gaps in the skyline where the condos have collapsed.
