I repurposed my previous PC into a bazzite machine by shoving a 9070XT into it to replace the 4080 I pulled out of it to build my new PC
It's great and I love it, but I know I just introduced the same CPU bottleneck I had before and it's taking willpower to not make similar upgrades to this PC

To be fair, the ps5 was only really able to be purchased by most people for at most three of those years

My favorite trailer thing is when (usually in 2d) something happens on the screen and then clever editing transitions into a new scene with the same characters in the same positions, especially when the two scenes have very different art styles

Heads up for folx playing Arc Raiders: Embark has openly stated (in an interview with GamesRadar+), that the game uses the same AI voice tech as The Finals, and the CEO has talked about using AI to generate 3D models from YouTube rips.
If you're anti-AI you should not be playing Arc Raiders!

Not to be the fun police but I do hope people know that Arc Raiders does use generative AI for voice acting, and by supporting the game you're letting higher-ups know that this is an okay practice.
They try to downplay this on the Steam store page by describing the AI usage as vaguely as possible.

I love that the Boston cop slide never got fixed and now people just willingly go down it in tribute. It’s basically a national landmark at this point

The programmers of the Donkey Kong arcade left a message in the code to hackers mockingly congratulating them and offering to teach them as a joke. A group of bootleggers actually took this seriously and contacted the company asking for help pirating their own game.
![Hirohisa Komanome, programmer at Ikegami Tsushinki,
who were contracted to make the Donkey Kong arcade:
Once we received a telex from an overseas company inquiring about the program of Donkey Kong. [...] I remember that it was a request to modify the program, to change Donkey Kong to their company's brand. It was easy to disassemble program ROMs and dump them in ASCII code with the development tools available then. Knowing that the bootleggers would begin their analysis of the hardware by disassembling and dumping the code, we inserted the following message at the end of the program as a joke:
CONGRATULATION !
IF YOU ANALYSE
DIFFICULT THIS
PROGRAM,WE WOULD
TEACH YOU.*****
TEL.TOKYO-JAPAN
044(244)2151
EXTENTION 304
SYSTEM DESIGN
IKEGAMI CO. LIM.
The company that sent us that telex had read this message, and they contacted us directly. All four of us were surprised. Naturally, we refused the request.

This game is a very cool take on a precision platformer where you can't jump in the traditional sense but you do have a baseball bat and Newton's Third Law.
It's somewhat open but not metroidvania (iirc) and is worth giving a shot before you see people absolutely blow this game up in a few months
