Space Marine II is both a success and a failure for Saber and Focus:

The early access gathered an impressive crowd of people — over 120K are online on Steam. But way too many of them are facing crashes and haven't even passed the loading screen. And overall controls are made for gamepads and it seems barely playable on keyboard and mouse.

Yet again #ArtDirection wins over "realism" and "good graphics": the game looks dated and it looks AWESOME! Meanwhile SW Outlaws has exceptional RTGI and it looks forgettable.

Average difference between critics and users' score on Metacritic

The original Skyrim (oldrim) has been updated (to fix launcher issues on modern systems). And you know what? It broke Steam Workshop mods!

It was absolutely fine since 2016 and now it's messed up! People on Steam react with Clown for the update post, but clowns are not THAT EVIL to break old games pretending it's an update.

No, Google Play, I definitely don't! Imagine that someone is telling you "wanna receive spam?" when your try to close the app store...

Meanwhile, Astro Bot is a big success from a small team within #PlayStation — a surprise hit that slightly improves the situation after Concord's failure

When you buy the latest and greatest hardware to complete the build with the cheapest PSU you can find!

And by the way: #CryEngine in its glory — Hunt Showdown update tech review by Digital Foundry!

The biggest issue was the separate evolution of the engine version for the game and the main CryEngine branch — they were not the same and were managed by two different teams.

There is a free (GPLv2) Background removal tool that do not rely on a specific GPU and works as an OBS plugin on Windows, Linux, and macOS.

Unlike NVIDIA Broadcast, it can remove backgrounds from anything, including still images of objects! And it is way more flexible even when separating people.

Finally: #PlayStation is going to show the PS5 Pro — a way higher performance is expected with possible usage of unannounced new Radeon architecture.

With all my love for hardware, the biggest issue of modern consoles isn't about performance, but lack of games.

Apple iPhone 16 is gonna be shown today. Last year #Apple tried to make "iPhone for games", sponsored AAA ports, and the idea failed. Will there be any game-related news this time? Will see in a few minutes!

Nature is healing: despite all the heresy, the brutal Space Marine II is doing great and growing even bigger after early access!
