Yes, the headline feels very disingenuous. They are working with composers from those games… I don’t feel they are going to have the same influence some game designers would have had.

I think the price is fair from a labour point of view, however, I feel like there may be an issue of offer and demand.

If you are not doing a specific commission (someone asked for it) who is going to buy it? I don’t see many people spending that much money on an utilitarian object where the art, for how nice it is, isn’t going to add much.

You may find someone for which money is not an issue and want something “extravagant” on display in their office, like a lawyer or a doctor. But I think is a small niche.

This also taking into consideration how sturdy the piece is. A regular folder can get damaged pretty quickly, which may put people off from buying it. Which may be doubly so if the art could get scratched or is unprotected.

Right now, macOS. Switched to it when I started uni and I’m never going back to Windows. The main reasons are:

• unix based
• generally easier to manage software
• the OS itself has most of the basic utilities already packed in and most of them with the right features. I rarely felt the need to install new software to cover lacking parts.

Also, generally stuff is packed fairly well, with care for user experience.

I will say, I’m dipping my feets in linux as well, and it looks like a lot of distro now are mature and accessible. If I ever were to buy a second pc I would seriously consider the penguin.

Honestly very little. Mac already has a lot of functionality built in. I have only specialized programs for my workflows and not much else.
