From the description:

This week, Epic Games promises a port of Fortnite and their Easy Anti-cheat malware to Windows 11 for ARM. A prominent union helps get a union for game developers off the ground. The Lenovo Legion Go S w/ SteamOS is now available for preorder. I share my experience with Half-life 2 RTX and more!

From HL2 RTX post:

So with all that said, I’m disappointed in Valve for allowing Nvidia to butcher this game.

Huh? Firstly, it's a mod, Valve is famously not opposed to them. And it's not developed by Nvidia, they simply provided the tools. Opinions are opinions, but it's completely ignoring the work of the actual dev team, and disregarding other valuable uses Remix has.

edit after reading the part about shadows again: looks like a rushed review, there are way more graphical effects worth talking about, even if you don't like the art direction.


On the topic of Legion Go S, their triggers are a great idea. Also Z2 lineup is so weird. Z2 Go with Zen 3 cores, RDNA2 CUs, Z2 with Zen 4 cores and RDNA3 CUs, meanwhile Z2 Extreme is out here with Zen 5 and 5c cores and a brand new RDNA3.5-based 880M.

I guess it makes sense to build two lowest tiers out of existing hardware and on the same node, but my monkey brain expects the same generation number. It's nice that they're using at least 12 graphics cores now, means they learned from Z1.

Sometimes headlinese gets somewhat incomprehensible. I feel like this is one of those examples. https://xkcd.com/2584/
