M: I looked around online, and wasn’t able to get a consistent answer; can you tell me if, in the current state of the PS five store set up, I would be able to find and play a copy of the DLC of asuras wrath

G: As of June 2025, playing the downloadable content (DLC) for Asura’s Wrath on a PlayStation 5 is not feasible through the current PlayStation Store setup. Here's a detailed breakdown:

🎮 Availability of Asura’s Wrath on PS5

The base game is accessible on PS5 via the PlayStation Plus Premium subscription, which offers streaming of select PS3 titles. However, this streaming service does not support DLC for PS3 games, including Asura’s Wrath. Consequently, the additional episodes—particularly Episodes 19–22, which provide the game's true ending—are not available when playing on PS5 through this method. citeturn0reddit14turn0reddit15

🛒 Options for Accessing the DLC

  1. PlayStation 3: The most reliable method to access the DLC is by playing the game on a PS3 console. The DLC is still available for purchase on the PS3 PlayStation Store, allowing you to download and play the additional episodes. citeturn0reddit17

  2. Xbox Consoles: Asura’s Wrath and its DLC are available on Xbox 360 and are backward compatible with newer Xbox consoles like the Xbox Series X/S. The game and its DLC are often on sale, making this a cost-effective alternative. citeturn0reddit19

  3. Emulation: For those comfortable with emulation, the RPCS3 emulator allows you to play Asura’s Wrath on a PC. However, this method requires technical knowledge and access to the game's files and DLC, which may involve legal and ethical considerations.

⚠️ Important Considerations

✅ Summary

To experience the full narrative of Asura’s Wrath, including the true ending provided by the DLC episodes, playing the game on a PS3 console remains the most straightforward method. Alternatively, Xbox consoles offer a viable option with backward compatibility and available DLC. Unfortunately, the PS5 does not currently support the DLC for this title due to limitations in streaming PS3 content.

M: On the Lennox command line, is there a wild card selection sequence that means “not”? As in, the inverse of *.mp4 that would select every file that was not named as an MP4 file

G: Yes, in most Linux shells (like bash), there's no direct glob (wildcard) syntax for "not matching" (!*.mp4 does not work as you might expect). But you can achieve this using shell constructs or commands like find or extglob.

✅ Recommended Methods

1. Using find (most robust)

find . -maxdepth 1 -type f ! -name '*.mp4'

2. Using bash extended globbing (enable with shopt)

shopt -s extglob
echo !(*.mp4)

3. With ls and grep

ls | grep -v '\.mp4$'

⚠️ Things That Don't Work

🟨 Other Note

To operate on the results (e.g., rm, mv, etc.), use find with -exec or xargs.

Let me know if you want a recursive version or a variant for directories only.

M: How would I use find in a quick command line loop? Like the way I would use “for X in *.mp4”, but inverted

G: You can invert a for loop over find results like this:

for x in $(find . -maxdepth 1 -type f ! -name '*.mp4'); do
  echo "$x"
done

But ⚠️ this breaks on filenames with spaces or newlines. A safer, correct version uses a while loop with read:

find . -maxdepth 1 -type f ! -name '*.mp4' -print0 | while IFS= read -r -d '' x; do
  echo "$x"
done

🔁 TL;DR

Use this for safety:

find . -maxdepth 1 -type f ! -name '*.mp4' -print0 | while IFS= read -r -d '' x; do
  echo "$x"
done

Use this for speed (unsafe with spaces):

for x in $(find . -maxdepth 1 -type f ! -name '*.mp4'); do
  echo "$x"
done

Let me know if you want to loop recursively, or exclude multiple extensions.
