Looks snazzy AF, but no Linux version yet.

This is from September 20, 2022. What's the reason for posting it now?

Was it posted now? It says posted 7 months ago. Weird that such an old post got into my Hot feed.

Nice catch. Seems the Hot algorithm was infected by GladOS to push her into the spotlight again.

Huh, you're right. That is weird. I guess they haven't ironed out all the wrinkles in the sorting algorithm yet.

I'm sure I'll play Portal this way the next time I play through it. I've played a couple of levels on GeForce Now. Looks very pretty.

I feel crazy about this, but...I played Portal RTX on Geforce Now, having no RTX card myself, and...I barely even noticed anything? I really had to squint to figure out if the reflectiveness of a few choice walls was at all different. Certainly justified my lack of a GPU purchase in the better part of a decade.

Yeah, it's not that huge of a difference, but does look prettier.

Get ready for a slew of rtx remasters sold at 59.99.

I'm expecting RDR2 "remaster" to be just that.

This is cool. Been getting tempted to replay Portal - think this'll tip me over the edge.
