  • Most C64 games are less than 64KB, the largest ones are maybe one megabyte. So counting generously that would be 200MB in total. I think a minimal Linux that runs on most hardware with Vice and game selector front-end would be a gig maximum. So what did they put in there? Uncompressed 4K long play video?

    Edit; Oh, 200+ “Linux compatible games”. So they pre-installed whatever Linux distro had in games. But it still sounds excessively large to me. I don’t know if I see the point in downloading everything for an installation when I’m probably not interested in most of it anyway. Then again, weird decisions is legacy Commodore so points for authenticity.



  • Well, the term “outsider art” refers to people disconnected from the art scene, artistic education or art circuits. People that produce output that may be considered artistic but often for other reasons than to produce art, like channeling and manifesting mental or emotional turmoil or trauma. This is also why it is problematic to display works by “outside artists” in art contexts because they are not necessarily produced to be seen, analysed out judged by anybody.

    So yes, “insider art” is really all art and crafts that work within a tradition, any sort of context, by people that are aware of their activities as artists, regardless they are professionals or hobbyists.

    I’m not sure what you’re going for here or if it is just a playful game with words.
