Honestly, that sounds like it'd make a pretty good Weird Al parody.

I played it when it first came out. It was fairly buggy and unoptimized and shouldn't have been released like that, but there wasn't anything too game breaking for me. And underneath that was a game with great writing, fun gameplay, and a very memorable world.

I played it again when Phantom Liberty came out, and it was even better. It ran smoother, the bugs were gone, the overhauled systems better served the gameplay, and PL itself was an amazing addition. And I actually had an RTX card to take advantage of this time.

Cyberpunk's only real problem, for me, was it being pushed out before it was ready. I hope that the shift from REDengine to Unreal helps to at least mitigate the issues that caused that going forward.

And as if he hasn't been doing this throughout his entire term as president.

Donald Trump and promising people money you'll never actually pay out.

The scientific definition of life changes constantly, but viruses more often than not fall under "not alive."

Throughout, viruses have rarely been considered alive. More than 120 definitions of life exist today, and most require metabolism, a set of chemical reactions that produce energy. Viruses do not metabolize. They also don’t fit some other common criteria. They do not have cells. They cannot reproduce independently. Viruses are inert packages of DNA or RNA that cannot replicate without a host cell.

It'd also be technically true to say "Elon Musk, CEO and self-proclaimed founder of Tesla..."

but I thought that might 1) contain too many spoilers (though I doubt there’s many people that haven’t played it)

I actually appreciate that. I only finished New Vegas for the first time last week, just before Echoes of Wisdom came out. Was worried you'd finish before me and I'd end up seeing something spoilery.

At least Microsoft hasn't announced a marginally improved $700 pro console that doesn't even come with the disk drive.

Yet.

Confirmed fake, unfortunately:

Update: It’s since been confirmed that the profile attributed to John Carpenter is fake. We’ll keep this post live to avoid 404 errors. Sadly, the posts outlined below really are too good to be true, and weren’t written by the horror maestro himself.
