People that have this opinion often only play AAA games. There are a lot of indie games that channel old-school game energy and improve upon them. Shovel Knight for example is a lot better than old platformers wish they were. A Hat in Time is a ton of fun compared to the vast majority of PS2/Gamecube 3D platformers. Hollow Knight is better than any Metroid game (I know a lot of people would disagree, though).

Unfortunately the article came a bit late, the promotion is already over. The game seems really good however.

Glad to see it. The soundtrack for XV is incredible.
I love Telltale’s stuff, but they’re a bit hit or miss for me. I really liked The Wolf Among Us and Tales from the Borderlands, but really didn’t care for The Walking Dead sequels and Batman. A lot of companies tried to replicate what they had but they never had writing as good.
That said, Telltale really needed some alternate endings. There’s only so much “X will remember this” I can read before I realize how little my actions matter.
I’m sadly not optimistic that The Wolf Among Us 2 is ever coming out. They laid off most of their staff half a year ago.
> Decide to create a very basic GUI app in Rust, as everyone is saying it’s a great language for it
> First compilation takes over 15 minutes to download and compile 100 libraries
> Debug files take up 2GB of storage

> Compiling now takes 30 minutes instead
I’ve seen this browser pop up occasionally and I still don’t understand a single thing about why it exists. The only thing I know is that they really, really, really, really love Apple. Their FAQ says:
In other words, Arc is to your ex-browser what the iPhone was to cellphones. Or as one of our members said “like moving from a PC to a Mac.” It’s from the future — and just feels great.
Yeah pffft, imagine using an Android phone in current year. We’re like Apple so much that we also throw a bunch of buzzwords instead of explaining the product.
Also their #1 selling point is privacy and how they’ll never sell your data but uh… Firefox exists… And it’s open source, unlike this…

TL;DW:
* FSR 3 is frame generation, similar to DLSS 3. It can greatly increase FPS to 2-3x.
* FSR 3 can run on any GPU, including consoles. They made a point about how it would be dumb to limit it to only the newest generation of cards.
* Every DX11 & DX12 game can take advantage of this tech via HYPR-RX, which is AMD's software for boosting frames and decreasing latency.
* Games will start using it by early fall, public launch will be by Q1 2024
It's left to be seen how good or noticeable FSR3 will be, but if it actually runs well I think we can expect tons of games (especially on console) to make use of it.

And here we go. Expect your C-tier AAA games to have Denuvo on Switch, stopping players from emulating it.

I was NOT expecting them to make a sequel to this game. It's been over 15 years, hasn't it?

>I do think there is reason enough to experience Atlas Fallen. Especially if you are a fan of the action RPG genre. It may not leave a lasting impression once you’ve completed the adventure, but it will be enjoyable enough along the way to hold your interest.
-------------
**[Digital Trends](https://opencritic.com/outlet/124/digital-trends)** - [Tomas Franzese](https://opencritic.com/critic/2097/tomas-franzese) - [2 / 5 ](https://www.digitaltrends.com/gaming/atlas-fallen-review-xbox-series-x/)
>Atlas Fallen has some ambitious ideas for a game of its scale, but its poor presentation holds back a promising combat system.

**[Eurogamer](https://opencritic.com/outlet/114/eurogamer)** - [Kaan Serin](https://opencritic.com/critic/8833/kaan-serin) - [3 / 5 ](https://www.eurogamer.net/atlas-fallen-review-memorable-monster-slaying-in-a-forgettable-world)
>Atlas Fallen echoes other mid-00s slashers with fun melee combat and cool ideas, trapped in a run-of-the-mill open world.

**[GamesRadar+](https://opencritic.com/outlet/91/gamesradar-)** - [Jon Bailes](https://opencritic.com/critic/6107/jon-bailes) - [2.5 / 5 ](https://www.gamesradar.com/atlas-fallen-review/)
>It's proficient in some respects, adequate in others, and manageable at worst. But that leaves a creative void in its world and the way you interact with it that calls into question the value of the whole endeavour.
-------------
**[Gaming Nexus](https://opencritic.com/outlet/104/gaming-nexus)** - [Jason Dailey](https://opencritic.com/critic/9502/jason-dailey) - [7.5 / 10](https://www.gamingnexus.com/Article/12898/Atlas-Fallen/)
>Atlas Fallen might not make any game of the year lists, but its inventive, refreshing combat is worth checking out. It will require a bit of patience, as the opening and closing acts are a protracted slog, in addition to numerous bugs, but the foundation is set for a sequel that capitalizes on the promise of this new IP.

**[IGN](https://opencritic.com/outlet/56/ign)** - [Gabriel Moss](https://opencritic.com/critic/6589/gabriel-moss) - [7 / 10](https://www.ign.com/articles/atlas-fallen-review)
>Atlas Fallen is a solid open-world action RPG with plenty of platforming and large monsters to fight with a co-op buddy, so long as neither of you cares about story or is a stickler for high-quality textures.
-------------
**[Kotaku](https://opencritic.com/outlet/276/kotaku)** - [Ethan Gach](https://opencritic.com/critic/1454/ethan-gach) - [Unscored](https://kotaku.com/atlas-fallen-review-dark-soul-open-world-action-rpg-1850721874)
>Deck13’s latest can’t get off the ground. Like the sandy ruins filling its world, the best parts of Atlas Fallen feel buried beneath the same open-world junk you’ve already done in a bunch of other games.
-------------
**[Metro GameCentral](https://opencritic.com/outlet/75/metro-gamecentral)** - [Nick Gillett](https://opencritic.com/critic/5846/nick-gillett) - [5 / 10](https://metro.co.uk/2023/08/09/atlas-fallen-review-easy-to-shrug-off-19306995/?ico=mosaic_tag)
>A combat-heavy action RPG with fun fights and spectacular landscapes, that's brought down by glitches, fiddly navigation, and an over-reliance on fetch quests.
-------------
**[PCGamesN](https://opencritic.com/outlet/169/pcgamesn)** - [Matt Poskitt](https://opencritic.com/critic/10058/matt-poskitt) - [8 / 10](https://www.pcgamesn.com/atlas-fallen/review)
>Atlas Fallen's superb combat, intruiging world, and fluid traversal make up for a play-by-numbers narrative. Thankfully, simple things like surfing the sands of a ginormous desert wasteland and taking on behemoth beasts mean I can enjoy the game for what it is instead of what it could have been.
-------------
**[Press Start](https://opencritic.com/outlet/491/press-start)** - [James Wood](https://opencritic.com/critic/5294/james-wood) - [6 / 10](https://press-start.com.au/reviews/ps5-reviews/2023/08/10/atlas-fallen-review/)
>Atlas Fallen layers interesting and engaging combat systems onto a lacklustre world and frustrating camera controls making for an uneven and forgettable fantasy action outing. Deck13 continues its work of innovating the genre in interesting ways but there's just a little too much going on for Atlas Fallen to ever find solid ground.
-------------
**[Push Square](https://opencritic.com/outlet/25/push-square)** - [Liam Croft](https://opencritic.com/critic/1009/liam-croft) - [7 / 10](https://www.pushsquare.com/reviews/ps5/atlas-fallen)
>It's disappointing to come up against a few too many flaws, but when Atlas Fallen is on form, its marriage of movement and fighting shines through.
-------------
**[Rock, Paper, Shotgun](https://opencritic.com/outlet/270/rock-paper-shotgun)** - [Ed Thorn](https://opencritic.com/critic/7538/ed-thorn) - [Unscored](https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/atlas-fallen-review)
>An action adventure with endearing six-out-of-ten jank, carried by weighty combat with heaps of style and customisation.
-------------
**[TechRaptor](https://opencritic.com/outlet/329/techraptor)** - [Rutledge Daugette](https://opencritic.com/critic/2042/rutledge-daugette) - [9 / 10](https://techraptor.net/gaming/reviews/atlas-fallen-review)
>With exploration enhanced by fun traversal, a progression system that doesn't tie you to levels, and combat that never gets boring with flashy abilities and fast-paced movement - Atlas Fallen is definitely worth your time.
-------------
**[TheSixthAxis](https://opencritic.com/outlet/68/thesixthaxis)** - [Gareth Chadwick](https://opencritic.com/critic/317/gareth-chadwick) - [5 / 10](https://www.thesixthaxis.com/?p=442678)
>Atlas Fallen is at its best when you're fighting huge enemies with your carefully constructed (by trial and error) build, but when you're repeatedly fighting the same enemies, when the story falls flat, and the environments blend into one, it starts to get dull and frustrating quickly.
-------------
**[Try Hard Guides](https://opencritic.com/outlet/855/try-hard-guides)** - [4 / 10](https://tryhardguides.com/atlas-fallen-review/)
>Atlas Fallen is a game that wants to be so many things, but fails to be any of them. It wants to be the next epic fantasy universe, but lacks the originality or compelling writing to do so. It wants to be an action game akin to its inspirations, but can’t quite deliver on the mechanics it’s inspired by. It wants to be an amazing piece of visual art, but delivers stunning vistas alongside jilted animations and boring enemy designs. It’s a game with deceptive marketing, showing off an inaccurate portrayal of the experience ahead, and one that feels like it had too many teams working on it at once. Unfortunately, it’s also one you should probably give a wide berth.
-------------
**[Worth Playing](https://opencritic.com/outlet/64/worth-playing)** - [Cody Medellin](https://opencritic.com/critic/4182/cody-medellin) - [7 / 10](https://worthplaying.com/article/2023/8/10/reviews/138567-pc-review-atlas-fallen/)
>Atlas Fallen is fine in parts and frustrating in others. The world seems fascinating, but the characters are the least compelling part of the story. The combat can feel fluid, and the number of powers you can use makes for a good deal of build possibilities. You'll wish there were more weapons, though. Traversal is fun, but you will need to ignore Nyaal, who often calls out things that are nowhere in the proximity. The development team could've used some more time to tighten things up, but ultimately, Atlas Fallen remains a good distraction in between other, more polished action-adventure games.
-------------
**[XboxEra](https://opencritic.com/outlet/758/xboxera)** - [Jesse Norris](https://opencritic.com/critic/7583/jesse-norris) - [6.9 / 10](https://xboxera.com/2023/08/09/review-atlas-fallen/)
>Atlas Fallen is close to being damned good. It is let down by a lack of variety in enemy encounters, poor side quests, and dreadful writing. Still, the combat quickly becomes damned fun and with the option of co-op, it’s well worth checking out if you want some God of Crackdown-style action platforming adventures.

Yup, claude is general-purpose and has its own website: https://claude.ai/
Unlike ChatGPT it also doesn’t need a phone number.
Unfortunately there isn’t any free/open source LLM that’s as good as ChatGPT. The ones that are here like Llama 2 and Vicuna 1.5 are decent, but are pretty dumb and love spouting random incorrect info and are really unreliable. The biggest problem isn’t even that, it’s that hosting one yourself requires a TON of resources. The higher-end models (still not as good as ChatGPT) can need over 20gb of VRAM. For reference an RTX 4090 has 24gb vram.
You might have better luck trying alternatives to ChatGPT. I personally use Claude, it’s less censored and has knowledge up to 2023.
It’s honestly kind of amazing that it lasted so long in the first place
