At this point, I’m just a little confused as to how we haven’t gotten a single item that gives processing power. It’s entirely likely just RNG, which is why we haven’t gotten any hardware, but glbumes and books are all plausible sources of processing power.

Actually, the thing I’m curious about is if it’s even possible for glbumes to grant PP in itembuildr (since there are currently no examples of this.) It would totally make sense for glbumes to grant geek power, but it may not be possible with the way itembuildr is built. I’m presuming it’s possible for books to grant PP, since there are already books that grant PP.

Edit: though to be honest, it’s interesting, all itembuildr items seem to be priced for the endgame. In the endgame there are currently only two different pieces of hardware that hackers actually use: beast0rs and the 50TB HDs (for when you don’t want luck). If a potential piece of hardware is better than the beast0rs, every endgame hacker gets four of them and the beast0r is obsolete. If it’s not better than the beast0rs or HDs, it’s obsolete already and nobody wants it. How do we balance this? Are the other buildr items that aren’t special items actually useful to anybody? I know most of us have purchased no fewer than eight balls to use from itembuildr, but is anything else actually useful?
