Honestly, maybe I'm an old fart, but I refuse to knowingly buy games if they use AI instead of paying talented people to create works of art.

Libraries and encyclopedias. We had a set of encyclopedias, New World I think, and much later got Brittanica on CD-ROM.
You can't survive around here (eastern Kentucky) without owning your own car. The nearest Walmart to me is a half hour drive at 60mph and we don't have taxis in any of the towns around me. That's 7 hours of walking, each way. No buses or trains either. The closest store of any kind to me is a Dollar General and is about 2 hours each way if I walk.
It is the command line interface for libvirt/qemu/kvm on Linux. I usually just use virt-manager remotely via SSH to create and manage my VMs, but virsh can be handy as well.
We have free health care? Coulda fooled me.
Nope, no mods. I've noticed certain braziers will have the effect in barrows and such.
I watched my dad slowly starve to death from cancer cigarettes gave him, so no, cigarettes don't "rule".
I'm not sure how it worked, all I know is that it was real time and would react to player models, enemies or other things that would move in unpredictable ways, but only for specific light sources.
I've seen the effect in other places, though I guess technically they can stick that torch wherever they want as you explore.
Skyrim has "ray traced" shadows in certain places and works great. I was in a cave once and hiding behind a cliff. An enemy was wandering around the next room and I was able to use the shadow cast on him by a torch to observe his movements without having his actual body in my field of view.
All this modern RT nonsense does is make things look slightly better than screen space reflections and tank performance.
If it is from Meta assume it's compromised.
If you're AI upscaling a low resolution texture or something I can see that. But if I want a computer to rip off somebody else's work and regurgitate a story based on some amalgamation of its questionably sourced training data, I can do that on my own for free.
