DC and Marvel own all the rights to all of their characters, it was the primary motivation behind the exodus of superstar talent from those companies to form Image comics in the early 90s, where creators owned the rights to their characters.

I don’t think Moore has any say in it.

The standard payment to an artist on Spotify is “$0.003 to $0.005 per stream”: https://simplebeen.com/artists-make-on-spotify/

That is basically nothing for any artist that isn’t in the top tier of mainstream success.

prior to Spotify coming along the industry was in decline as downloading MP3’s on torrents and file sharing programs was the norm

You’re essentially pirating music by using Spotify, you are not paying the artists that you listen to in any meaningful way.

I’m still getting a ridiculous amount of value from Spotify

If only the same could be said for the artists you’re listening to…

That seems extremely high, can you explain your listening habits? Are you listening to all of those albums start to finish? Are you selecting each of those albums or just letting the algorithm run wild?

Solium Infernum: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1893810/Solium_Infernum/

Brilliantly original strategy game where you play demon lords fighting for rule of hell. Amazing, complex strategy where you need to use insults, threats, challenges and diplomacy just as much as military and magical power to win. Incredible art and writing and incredibly fun and deep gameplay. Warning: you may ruin friendships over this game, you can really do devastating stuff to each other once player abilities ramp up in the later game.

That’s the best info I’ve found on this, thanks heaps for your help.

Great, thanks!

It’ll teach them teamwork XD

I will put in a strong vote for Castle Crashers, one of the most fun, charismatic beat em ups of all time, imo. Would be perfect for kids that age.

Overcooked is one of the most popular co-op games of the last few years, simple concept but fun, frantic gameplay. It’s pretty cheap at base price but goes on sale pretty regularly too.

Would have to get it through Steam I believe.

That’s a great tip, thanks for the info.

That’s great info, thanks. I’m open to changing the distro I use to get the best results so I’ll do some experimenting.

It’s not.

Microsoft are charging a yearly fee to continue getting security updates for Win10 after EOL.

I love this. Do you have stuff for sale?

It’s not the same game at all. A single purpose piece of code does not have the same considerations as a large software application. It’s more like one is speed chess and the other is actual armies on a battlefield.

Clickbait title. This is in the context of competitive coding, which is a very specific and constrained programming exercise with a time limit. Which is not at all comparable to real world software development.

Impulse Tracker on a 486 PC. As raw as music production gets.

Teen heartthrob Predator.

The movie looks fucking terrible, making the Predator the protagonist completely breaks the premise.

“I am nobody’s prey!” I fucking threw up in my mouth.
