Zero info about whether it has a headphone jack or a MicroSD card slot, how long the software support will last, how repairable it is...

Yeah, Podcast Addict is proprietary and ad driven, unless you pay. I grabbed a lifetime ad-free upgrade years ago when it was like two bucks.
On some level I agree with you, I generally love open source, and if AntennaPod had the feature I was looking for I would have switched, but I also don't mind paying for software if it's good and reasonably priced.

I've been using Podcast Addict for years, and when I tried to switch to AntennaPod, I couldn't figure out how to configure it in such a way that I can listen to the back catalogue of a podcast in chronological order and have the app automatically download a rolling buffer of a small number of episodes. When I looked around online for solutions, I found a forum thread of someone who had the same issue, and the maintainers of the project responded with confusion and dismissal as to why anyone would need that functionality lol. So I'm still on Podcast Addict.

BG3 had a budget of over 100 million and several hundred people working on it, it's well into AAA territory

Buy these new subclasses for just 3,99 each, or 10 bucks for the bundle with all of them! This is a limited time offer, visit the Baldurian shop to grab yours fast!

Blaidd doesn't strike me as an edgelord, if anything he's one of the most genuine and respectful NPCs in Elden Ring

Actually not that unprecedented https://youtu.be/gPagHHIfvlg

Even the PS5, which is for the most part is just an x86 PC, still has a unique architecture that allows for loading and decompressing textures from disk into VRAM without putting any load on either the CPU or GPU.
It's not like they aren't trying to do new stuff, it's just hard to find new avenues to innovate when so much has already been figured out.

They likely want to avoid legitimising those existing emulators.

Both the 2019 Modern Warfare reboot and the 2023 sequel to the reboot Modern Warfare III had a remake of Rust in their respective map pools

Obviously huge for Bedrock players, especially those on consoles, who have not had access to something like this (outside of the RTX thingy on PC). They did mention that they're exploring bringing it to Java edition as well though, it'll be interesting to see how this will stack up against shaderpacks made by the community, or if they'll even add the ability for custom shaderpacks to vanilla so you no longer need mods like Iris or Optifine.

This game has had a few closed playtests already, you can see some gameplay here:
Tbh I don't fully understand what the gameplay loop actually is, whether it's structured like an extraction shooter or more something along the lines of Stalker, but I'm on board regardless because imo this looks sick

TeamSpeak recently added screen share to their TS6 beta, however it currently only works on official servers provided by TeamSpeak; they have not yet released TS6 server software, only the client. To my understanding, they are thankfully still planning on releasing it though.

For reasons unbeknownst to mankind, that is what the game is actually called these days on Steam.

Are you sure you're not thinking of Nico Rosberg and his weird COVID comments?

Highly depends on the type of game. For First person shooters, 120+ fps is a must. I skipped the more recent CoDs because I couldn't get them to run at that target consistently enough on my PC without turning them into blurry DLSS smear.
Racing games, where motion is typically always going in one direction with only smooth direction changes, a lower framerate is fine (like 60 to 80), although the added smoothness from high framerate is obviously still nice.
Slower paced or turn based games I'm fine with going as low as 40 FPS, as long as it's consistent without drops and frame pacing issues.

What about VRR on mutli-monitor setups?

Am I to believe that cheaters would install Linux, just use a cheat in a game?
You seem to severely underestimate the extreme lengths cheaters will go to in order to cheat. Not only are modern cheats very expensive (like 20+ dollars per WEEK subscriptions), but the ones that are the hardest to detect require a second PC connected to the main PC using a direct memory access module so that the cheat can read the game's memory in a way that is impossible to notice for the Anti-Cheat running on the game PC. On top of that they spend time and money on stolen/farmed accounts, spoofing hardware and phone numbers, and buying entirely new PCs when they get detected and banned.
Installing Linux is a tiny obstacle compared to all the other shit these losers are willing to go through in order to cheat.

They banned Wordington?? What's next, Clamworks? Losercity?

Twitch is veeeeryyy slooowlyyy transitioning to AV1 for their livestreams, maybe that'll work better than h.264 whenever it's ready.
