The Bucees logo tells me this is probably going to affect Texas more than other regions.

Uh oh. What did Ubisoft do this time?
They only talk about BG&E2 when they are about to be raked over the coals for some heinous shit they did.
The Case of the Golden Idol. It’s a great little detective game with an interesting premise.
Isnt this basically just a late 2000s take on what The Lost Boys was in the mid 80s?
He was a raving homeless man who frequently masturbated in public and antagonized anyone who would approach him. However, beyond all that he was one of the smartest people in the ancient world and lived life never comporimising his principles.
Mid-range GPUs still exist, they just dont get the same coverage as the top-end cards. An RTX 4060 is set at $300 which is much cheaper than a PS5 or Series X
This is an interesting take. Historically, the main benefits to console gaming were 2 things:
Consoles are cheaper than PCs
Games require no config and and are guaranteed to be compatible
Nether of these is really the case anymore. For the price of a PS5 or a Series X you could get a midrange gaming PC with similar performance.
Regarding complexity, we kind of met in the middle. Long gone are the days when you could just pop a disc in the tray of your playstation or xbox and start playing, every game requires an install now. And on the PC side, you very rarely need to configure settings to get a game to a playable state. Hell, you dont really even need to manually install drivers anymore.
Of course, as the article points out, none of this applies to Nintendo and those consoles are still worth buying.
My guess for the future is that if Microsoft and Sony are going to hang around in the hardware space, they’re going to make something akin to the steam deck, but locked to their own storefront. And then they’ll wonder why people are still choosing PCs over their hardware.
That’s exactly the problem.
Under the current system, people that produce creative works as their job are forced to monetize them. Until we live in a post-scarcity world where everyone’s needs are met, like Star Trek, we have to deal with capitalist problems. To say otherwise is to ensure a system where artists and authors are unable to survive. Currently, the copyright system is good enough™ that creating art can be profitable enough that they are not destitute.
Simply because the technology exists to endlessly replicate and distribute art, regardless of the wishes of the artist (for which it is already frequently used, if you look at piracy channels) does not mean that it should be used with reckless abandon.
Copyright is generally a good idea. There has to be some level of restriction, otherwise infinite copies of your art immediately show up and you cant make a living.
On the flipside, it harms the industry at large if the copyright is too long. There is no reason why a corporate entity should be making royalties on something long after it’s creator has died.
So, where is the middle point? What is a good length of time to let an artist exclusively sell their art without fear of someone undercutting them as soon as they make something? Personally, i think the US figured out the sweet spot before all the changes. 14 years, plus a single 14 year extension you have to register. 28 years is enough time that you can make a career, but also not long enough to harm the creative process or prevent art from reaching the masses while its relevant.
I honestly thought it was older than that.
I was sure the game came out before my 20s but I looked it up and you’re right.
This is explicitly against their TOS. Whether or not you’ll be found out is a whole other matter

The argument is that “we would like to study these works of art in a purely academic setting, and are willing to limit access to academics only, we just need to make sure it’s going to work even if you guys stop supporting it”
The corporations involved seem to read this argument as “we are looking to start a game streaming service, please give us free access to all your games to distribute at our whim”
To be fair, comparing terminal to the registry is not comparing apples to apples. The registry is more like a complicated config file full of barely documented options. Still miserable to work in, but that’s beside the point.
The terminal equivalent to windows is Powershell which id say is much more favorable.
Someone didnt watch the video
Computer engineers will try to get 2 things running on anything that could be described as Turing complete. The first is Conway’s Game of Life and the other is Doom
How?
I dual boot and use the command line a similar amount in both. cmd and powershell in windows are super useful for troubleshooting things that don’t work, or setting configuration options that are just not possible from the GUI, like disabling the hiberfil
Windows error messages are usually something to pay attention to if they generate a popup. But you can ignore most errors and warnings in the event viewer.
Linux is the same. If you get a popup, look into that, but if you see warnings or errors in a logfile then they can most likely be ignored if the app is working
You mean the juice packets that could just be squeezed by a person to get the liquid out without requiring a countertop hydraulic press?
Both Tales of Symphonia and Chrono Cross got abysmal PC ports.
Playing the originals in an emulator is definitely a much better experience
