I'll need to go pirate for REAL to afford this setup tho. Oh well.

It's only for Windows, I bet

meanwhile, children are starving in africa.

while rich folks feed their computer addiction. it builds up a 'tolerance'. 320x200 is not good enough. soon you find you need 'more resolution'. as in the article, the samel old game gets boring unless you up the ante with a bigger screen, faster machine, bigger speakers, more speakers, etc. spending thousands of dollars a year is the only way to 'maximize your experience' ... said hardware which of course will be worth 20 bucks a year down the line after it becomes obsolete. while relationships and social involvement delapidate and corrode into nothingness, as fantasy slowly replaces reality, and the users imagination and dreams wither away and die.

meanwhile the games themselves, their characters, plot, story, etc, grow more shallow, hateful, stupid and cruel as the years go by. filled with paranoia and barely logical eviscera from shoddy slash fiction, these 'experiences' are sought out to relive traumatic childhoods with the illusion of control. the industrialized prepackaged mass produced 'experiences' are the equivalent of spiritual and emotional junk food - high on fat and sugar, engineered to satisfy demand and increase profit, without aesthetic, artistry, or nutritional value.

i should know. ive been there. all this to 'simulate' life, when one could easily go outside and 'immerse' oneself in plenty of strange and unusual experiences.

Sad but true about where we are going with all of this. :(

I wonder if ananzi plays video games.

go see 'a scanner darkly', it reveals the truth!

Well, nvidia usually supports linux drivers, so if they don't have one for it now, they probably will sometime in the future.
