It signifies that chinese made games about chinese/buddhist mythology will be incredibly popular in China.

People go nuts for soulsclones regardless but given that this is probably the very first chinese mythology soulslike with professional production values no one should be at all surprised that it sells in China and abroad. Also the fact that it’s cheaper than china than any other region on earth is certainly a factor in it’s sales.

As of right now, of it’s overall 354,187 steam reviews, only 14,757 are in english.

Keep in mind that the US and Western Europe combined have about a third of China’s population.

TheBananaKing is offensive. It is a reference to Banana Republics, you know the system where corporations marginalize an entire populace and make them produce their product for profit. You should really change your username. It’s trivial and nobody will care if you change it.

Obviously I do think this is as absurd as asking a company to change it’s name which was named after the founder, but you went there and presented the argument for it. I can at least understand moving away from master/slave in computing especially in future products and revisions but making someone change their business name which is named after the founder’s is ludicrous.

That being said, the only reason why the company changed the name was because it gave them good PR in the form of free advertising- just imagine all the headlines. Since you have no upside to changing yours, I know you won’t do it. Humanity is full of virtue signaling hypocrites who are just out for themselves.

In highschool I had a gameboy color in my backpack with pokemon tcg in it.

I went to the bathroom and came back. It was no longer in my backpack after that. Thanks sophomore year physics class.

Other than law-enforcement, no one can find the customer details associated with an IP address.

Yeah, what you need is to subpoena the address to find out who the owner is of the internet connection. From there you can probably find out which construction worker lives there and take it to small claims court.

Probably not worth it

So you’re proposing that the US tries to go conquer the world. Are you insane?

AOL still has 1.5 million active monthly subscribers. People forget to cancel subscriptions all the time.

Subscriptions are a great way to sell a service to someone who isn’t using it, and when they want to cancel it getting the spent money on something never used is generally impossible.

IMO for something like a streaming service… if you don’t stream a minute of video in a month you shouldn’t have to pay anything.

Does the hardware being all so arranged as it is in this manner to create a supercomputer make any difference to that evaluation?

The storage drives for all of this have been stripped. You can’t just run commands on the hardware… you have to figure out how to cluster things with software, buy drives for it all, have it all installed in a datacenter somewhere which is going to cost way more than the purchase price.

The labor costs for the technical people required to do this are way more than half a million a year.

The piecemeal nature of selling thousands of parts means the wages for a group necessary to coordinate it all would probably make the whole thing not feasible.

Ebay prices are higher than market prices imo. 15% ebay cut + 3% paypal fees + sales tax + shipping is brutal.

I don’t know why anyone would buy this. Maybe it’s one of those precious metal reclamation groups.

Generally hardware that old is cheaper to replace with newer more efficient hardware than to even consider running due to electricity costs.

Delisted in Puerto Rico, part of the US. Amazing.

If the guy wasn’t a dumbass he would have sold the pve edition as a standalone game and avoided all the drama.
