The Callisto Protocol on PC is unfortunately disastrously poor at launch. There are many issues with this game on PC, but the most significant issue is that The Callisto Protocol on PC is an Unreal Engine 4 game that does not pre-compile its shaders, so like nearly every Unreal Engine game I reviewed in the recent years that means Callisto protocol on PC has awful shader compilation stutter. Every single thing done in the game that is new or shown for the first time induces massive stutters....

If there were one word to describe Elon Musk’s stint as the CEO of Twitter so far, it would be upheaval. What began as an era dedicated to the ideals of freedom of speech has been quickly muddied by expediency and the necessity to retain major advertisers, with Musk’s characteristic impulsiveness providing a defining shade of tempestuousness to this saga. — Elon Musk (@elonmusk) December 18, 2022 Perhaps, as a nod to the general perception of listlessness at Twitter or as a result of a sudden epiphany, Elon Musk commissioned an online poll a few hours back to gauge whether he should carry on as the CEO of Twitter....

Well, it turns out they won’t have to. CD Projekt Red’s Q3 2022 earnings report is out, and in it they let slip that The Witcher remake will be a “story-driven, single player, open-world RPG.” So, it seems like the folks at Fool’s Theory are going to be revamping the game in a pretty major way. Here’s what CDPR studio head Adam Badowski had to say about the remake project back in October… “The Witcher is where it all started for us, for CD Projekt Red....

There have been plenty of graphical showcases for CDPR’s latest title, but Digital Dreams’ latest video sparked some nostalgia. This new showcase in 4K resolution shows a heavily-modded version of Cyberpunk 2077 complete with the new Flying Cars mod and had us going back to 1989 when Doc sees flying cars in the 2015 version of Hill Valley. Sadly enough, even in 2022, we still don’t have actually flying vehicles, but we guess that in 1989, movie director Robert Zemeckis expected that flying cars would be a real thing 26 years in the future....

The mod, which is currently in the works by Speclizer, still has quite a few issues to iron out before it is ready for public release, but if this happens, we can expect this mod to become quite popular, as it would provide players with a new way to enjoy the excellent game developed by Sony Santa Monica. God of War is now available on PC and PlayStation 4 worldwide....

This means, unlike the regular smart vacuum cleaners that slap a rag on the bottom of a water tank to just drag a wet cloth across the floors, yeedi vac 2 pro imitates actual human mopping but makes it better by doing it 5x faster for a better, deeper clean....
