Trust the internet to filter out the good from the bad.

You’re right, I guess it would be preferable if all art was completely free. Preferable for everyone! Except for, you know, the artists. But fuck them, am I right?

The original meaning of a “hack” as it applies to computers comes from MIT in the 70s, when it meant “an elegant and creative solution”. There’s been an unhappy overlap for many years with other meanings, most commonly (and confusingly) with the pejorative for digital intruders, “hacker”. I work in IT and both…

I suspect that the NFT name is so tainted at this point that it will never grow into mainstream acceptance, but I’m with you - the notion of provable digital ownership has obvious value for both artists and consumers. Which makes it a touch frustrating to hear the usual chorus of “but I can just copy the JPEG onto my…

How many new GTA games, of any kind, have there been since GTAV?

You got it. There were more of them last gen than in any previous gen, but developers still had to think seriously about whether code portability between Cell/PPC and the new x86 boxes was worthwhile maintaining.

I did this late last year on every site that offered it, and I’ve yet to hear from one of them.

Hmm. I debated going with the term “generationally exclusive” but thought it might be confusing, probably should’ve stuck with it.

For what it’s worth, I didn’t think you would either.

Nah, Ethan (or whoever wrote the sub header) is just confusing Nioh with Sekiro, I think.

Linux-only and closed source is unusual for a project like this.

No, it isn’t. The lack of exclusive content on the next-gen consoles a full year after launch is unprecedented.

Exactly. I think the relatively easy availability of the last-gen systems has a bunch of people forgetting just how common this has been in the past. I remember the Wii shortages being particularly bad in the UK.

I’m a little surprised that the most expensive game was “only” $454. I wonder how that compares against the 10th most expensive game, and the 100th.
