Marketing manipulation. We have been conditioned to precieve value in some things over others. It eleminates the idea that you as an individual have to engage and investigate to find your own value of a piece of art. I'm not saying that the popular pieces of an artist aren't incredibly good. Just understand that an artist probably has dozens of other work you might want to engage with and appreciate.

I've seen this soon many times at art museums. Sure Starry night and Mona Lisa are great but the artists' other masterpieces are literally 10 steps away and people seem to casually ignore. The power of the totebag fridge magnets.

    I'm utterly beside myself. RADIOHEAD VERSUS RADIOHEAD FOR THE FINALS? This just has to be ragebait. I guess a lot of Pitchfork is just ragebait. in c/music@lemmy.ml

    You should really post how this was evaluated. Only albums from the last 30 years and votes come from pitchfork Instagram stories polls. After knowing that I'm not surprised at all. This is all just clickbait for Pitchfork. A better discussion would be the albums they started with and if they should even be here.

    Steam On Linux Use Skyrocketed In March - More Than Double The macOS Gaming Marketshare in c/games@lemmy.world

    I'm doing my part!

    But seriously I would encourage everyone to try a dual boot with Linux even if you don't end up switching. Just to get the numbers higher. Developers see these numbers and if it gets high enough they are going to take it seriously. Can't wait to see what happens with the steam machine numbers.

    PlayStation Studios Removes Nearly All PC References From Websites in c/games@lemmy.world

    Sony was always the "exclusives" company. For the PS5 I believe they outsold the Xbox equivalent all most 2:1 but I think that is because more and more people have gaming PCs. I still can't believe PS5 sold something like 90 million! I think Sony is fighting a losing battle now steam is pushing for agnostic hardware and I only see Sony continuing this business model with exclusives that will never come to PC. Right now they are doing the math to determine what it would take to get the average person to buy a new PlayStation vs how much they made from Sony pc sales. It's going to get harder every year with less developers going totally exclusive and the component cost increased. I'm guessing they will use the same model for ps6. Sell the consoles based on excluses then wait a few years once the console sales dip and move them over to PC. Steam machine is a real wildcard here.

    Playing Psychonauts for the first time and it is blowing my mind. (lemmy.world)

    Psychonauts was always one of those games I was meaning to play ever since it came out. I've played most of the double fine titles but I started it and it didn't instantly click so I put it down and never got back to it. The second one came out and I thought alright time to go for it. Wow! What a debut from double fine! Clever and fun mechanics, well defined characters, engaging story and actually laugh out loud moments! If you have kids the game dialogue is snappy like a Pixar movie. I made it to the tower and just can't wait to see what happens next. There are a few small things like camera angles or controls that can be a little frustrating after all it's almost a 20 year old game but if do yourself a favor and grab it for $2 on steam or Xbox store right now if you think you might like it. I've already got #2 in the queue.
