So, a few days ago I got a very good offer and bought Samsung S24 Ultra. Super fast, 7 years of software updates, not getting hot in games, but has pre installed garbage to remove.
The camera is beyond amazing. Log video up to 4K@120FPS (8K@30) with perfect optical stabilization, zoom between x0.5 and x10, night photos.
Elephant in the room: a lot of AI, especially at night or extreme zoom. Despite 200MP main sensor (and two 50MP) it relies on algorithms a lot. Cool stuff: upscaling even for screenshots if needed, objects removal that actually works (unlike on iPhone)
A lot of that can be disabled in settings, I suggest to switch off "scene detection" and set "intelligent optimization" to minimum. For deeper "native" photography there are apps in Samsung App Store to disable even more.
And there's S-Pen stylus: nice to have, too small to use for real.

Oh, and the phone looks like this: very sharp titanium body, so everyone use them with cases. With the good case it's very easy to use despite the size.
Both volume controls and power button are on the right edge, I'm more used to when they are on the opposite sides. SIM cards slot is on the bottom, so are the USB and stylus. No 3.5 Jack, but BT and USB audio are both good.
They fixed the sharpness in S26, which is rounded again and much easier to hold without accessories.

In the meantime, Russian government introduced white lists internet system (only IPs allowed by them will pass), slowed down all VPN traffic to speeds of 2003 and pretend it's not gonna cause any troubles.
Mirrors Edge IRL
The game industry and IT are effectively dead. They rely on global software and hardware with global drivers. It's not gonna work that easy now and fixing it will make the IT not efficient enough to be financially viable.

Crimson Desert optimization concerns me.... it seems that even DLSS performance can't make it work well enough. Yet another frame generation title!

1. Good news: Embark will make more voice lines with their actors. It's hard to know how many, but they are aiming to replace the AI.
2. Whoever wrote this for RPS is an idiot: Embark was always working with human actors. They were using special people to train a very custom model for each of them to cover thousands of objects and locations. Which otherwise would take years to voice. Now they kinda have these years.
Very odd intro, Oisin Kuhnke...

They were also a supportive studio in Kill the Justice League.

Yep, the game was amazing,
Haters gonna hate.
Also: released in 2014, looks amazing (except skin shader), works on any computer, even huge maps don't lag.

The US Government Might Compel Tencent to Divest from US Gaming Companies for National Security
The US government might force Tencent to divest from Riot Games and Epic Games over national security concerns, after a long-running review.
The upcoming Death Stranding 2 costs €80 in Europe for the basic edition. It's €10 more than any other AAA game and KOJIMA PRODUCTIONS overestimate their fans loyalty. On a crowded market being the highest priced choice is not a selling point, it's a hiccup that will make people think twice and go to another game in most cases.

If this spring I'd want to carry around a suspicious kid, I'll pick a better priced game 😄
