I am not a fan of that naming scheme, but it definitely predates Reddit. I remember the old Saw films being described as "torture porn".

Look up the article on Wayback machine and you only find minimal updates over the years.
The difference between this and the most recent snapshot from before Aug. 28, 2024 is just that they removed the link to a particular news story. Even checking the oldest snapshot, you can see there has been no significant change to the main content since it was originally posted years back.
Good thing that it went to Wine I guess, as they do lots of work to get old Windows programs up and running in Linux and that often involves Mono.
I see this as the main purpose of this transfer of ownership. When it comes to developing new software, MS has their modern tech stack for creating cross-compatible code, and the recommendation is to use that. But that is not helpful when trying to get old legacy software running on a modern system. So MS is giving this "outdated" technology to the WINE team. A team whose primary goal is getting incompatible software to run in the "wrong" environment. This should allow WINE to continue to properly handle older Mono software for the foreseeable future.
Original Title: TIL that Technicolor is named after the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where two of the founders of Technicolor, Inc., Herbert Kalmus and Daniel Frost Comstock, received their undergraduate degrees in 1904.
My issue with Stardew Valley content updates is that they change how the game works. It is not just adding extra postgame missions or something. The content updates tend to fundamentally change how some things work. Your possible/preferred routes to reach endgame today are much different than they were in 2016. It makes it feel like perpetual Early Access.
I am becoming the same way. Maybe I am just old, but I miss the days of buying something and having a finished product. Instead, we have games like this and Stardew Valley that release in an incomplete state and are still receiving major content updates almost a decade later.
Technology is cyclical
Not sure there was ever a "formal" announcement/promise, but yeah, this was mentioned as being the plan since before the Steam Deck was even released. People were expecting a general SteamOS ISO to be available on launch day.
I would absolutely not second guess anything if it was "Trent Reznor & Atticus Ross" scoring this, since that has been how all their previous scores have been attributed. I would trust them to score literally any film well regardless of genre or whatever. But this is being intentionally marketed as "Nine Inch Nails" doing the score for TRON, so I am unsure what to think. I know it is technically the same people, and their Ghosts work under NIN is rather similar to their scoring work, but I wonder how well it will fit with TRON. Perhaps this new film is going to be less "clean and pristine" than the previous films and instead go for a more grimy industrial aesthetic.
This is what stops me from picking it up each time I see it drop this low.
X/Y are also swapped.
