Every year or two someone "unmasks" Banksy and they name the same guy and then everyone collectively shrugs.
Everyone knows. It's some bloke. Not some supernaturnal painter-geist. Just some bloke.
Just like Daft Punk was two French musicians of some sort, that have names that most people don't care to know.

15YO was complaining about age verification, Face ID, and TikTok. My response, only somewhat more unhinged, is that TikTok is an inherently untrustworthy platform and it’s not worth using at all.

The Esoteric Ebb demo was only labelled for Windows but I downloaded it and tried it out anyway. Why not? I’m a rebel. I paint outside the lines.
Well, it works absolutely fine on Linux. I didn’t actually expect that at all. I trusted Steam.
Not very far into it yet but the game seems great. It doesn’t hide that it’s heavily influenced by Disco Elysium. It does it well, though it has a much lighter tone than Disco. So far.
