Alan Wake 2 legit blurs the line when presenting a character; between film footage and digitizing the actor. Even the games environments blend in photographed and filmed objects. It's a masterpiece of a game, with beautiful graphics, and a fun and bonkers story.
I should be playable from Epic Games Store via Lutris or similar. Or from sailing the high seas.
Way more reliable, and just as optimized for out of the box gaming.
Apparently The VVitch is extremely impressive and accurate for the English dialect they speak in the movie. They pulled old court records related to Salem witch trials. Things like that give me hope for Nosferatu!
People like that CS doesn't change. It just eventually gets visual upgrades with new engine versions. You can hop on CS, and know the exact game play you're going to get.
Also, custom CS servers for extremely different game play are a thing.
My favorite I've heard is a friend made the distinction of Elder Millennial: Old enough to remember life pre-internet, young enough to still be relevant.
Thank you for the reminder to go listen to his new album! Skimmed a few articles that say it's outstanding.
Edit: I'm back after a full listen through, start to finish. What an absolute banger of an album! The Best Eminem. Feels like a short time machine journey to the early 2000s but with modern references. Now I understand why at the end of the meme it's all angry faces, lmao.
Just a heads up, Windows 11 IoT LTSC is out, and it has none of M$'s bullshit you read about weekly. It can be tricky to find the .iso, so it would be a real shame if people wasted their time looking for it @ massgrave.dev

I feel like the biggest issue is what would amount to homeless corralling, and if they violated the law by living outside the designated zone, they'd be fined. The state knows they wouldn't be able to pay, and thus 90+ days of prison labor.
"The proposed legislation grants cities the authority to designate specific areas for unhoused individuals. If individuals are found outside of the designated area, residing in a tent, hut, temporary shelter, or vehicle with the intention to sleep, they may face misdemeanor charges, leading to a fine of $5,000 and a potential imprisonment of up to 90 days."
Don't get me wrong, the deadly force bits are definitely worse, but I feel like what I quoted above is the true motivation.
This article didn't research the VR bits...Gabe has said multiple times, even recently, that they are working steadily on VR and it's hardware. Their next headset even has a codename, Deckard.
Also, I don't think most people realize Valve doesn't have much of an internal structure. It more resembles a community of people working together because they want to.
The advice in that article is primo out of touch and humorous. They give statistics that people's savings and assets are down X amount, and the first advice is save for an emergency. Running out of savings?! Just save more, five head.
So to update this meme to be real and current: Can it run Hunt Showdown 1896, with it's brand new Cryengine update. Spoiler alert, it's beautiful.
It also runs fabulously via Steam and Proton.
