I'm sure dumping a new team to work on an engine they havent worked with before without giving them enough time will go fine, it's not like we have any recent examples saying otherwise.
Because when you are giant studio using Unreal Engine there really is no excuse for poor performance or porting. But when you are a (relatively to Epic or Sony/Microsoft etc) a tiny team building a game using the engine you came up with yourself with its roots somewhere around 2010-ish , back when 6 cores was a brand new thing and have been tweaking it ever since, you do get some slack if it doesn't multithread perfectly.
Also it's a Larian game, so not only will it have all the thousands of bugs fixed (literally, the first patch had over a thousand fixes), you'll probably get the Extended Enhanced Definitive Divine Edition that rewrites half the quests and adds a bunch of new ones.
DS2 is also a fantastic example why just because something is by a certain studio doesn't necessarily mean much as it was made almost entirely by the B-team while the core developers were busy making Bloodborne. So while it is by FromSoft, the people working on it were mostly the ones responsible for the A.C.E series IIRC.
The same thing is what happened with Mass Effect: Andromeda as the OG trilogy team was busy making up the mess called Anthem.
Gundyr on purpose acts as an early check for the player if they would enjoy the rest of the game or not. If you can't beat him and don't like the trial-and-error learning process required to do so, then you most likely wouldn't enjoy or get much further in the game anyway.
Nope, and even if there was it would be from Russian sources so you couldn't really trust it anyway. Kremlin says they had nothing to do with the plane crash either, but, you know.
The mod requires online authentication before it starts to function and won't run unless it can successfully do that. That's pretty much the textbook definition of online DRM.
Like Divinity Original Sin I'd imagine - running around talking to people is fine, fights are a bit clunky, and inventory management will drive you mad.
Countless services exist where you can buy captcha solving, though currently it's done by actual humans in developing countries for tiny pay. Yet another job that's going to soon be replaced by AI, though this time it almost certainly will result in some people starving to death.
Fun fact, the Hawaiian Pizza was invented in Canada by a Greek immigrant because he was inspired to make something resembling sweet and sour Chinese food.
It's named after the brand of canned pineapples he used.
And by "after they've thoroughly exhausted all options to continue making money there", you mean that they stopped royalty payments and investments Mach last year and have been trying to sell the business since then in an effort to avoid taking the massive financial hit of bankrupting and abandoning the 107 franchises and 68 restaurants they own.
Which is the sensible thing to do, as otherwise you just give them all as a free gift to the Russians.
But there would be no-one to do so. In a copyrightless world George R.R Martin would need to have another job to pay the bills and wouldn't be able to dedicate his time for writing, and HBO or anyone else pouring massive amounts of money to create shows also wouldn't be able to exist as they would gain no profit from what they do as their creations would also be in the public domain. Unless you live in an utopia with universal income and replicators that completely eradicate any need for money or ownership of anything, copyright itself as a concept is vital, the issue is just how corrupted the current system has become - which is mostly due to the greed of Disney.
To give an example, if all books were automatically public domain HBO could have created Game of Thrones without paying George R.R. Martin a single cent for it, then publish and sell "Game of Thrones: The Book", aka the entire Song of Ice and Fire series, again without paying him anything and stealing all of his profit in the process.
As someone who just upgraded from a setup with a GTX 1060 and a 1440p monitor to a 3060 TI - which is something like 25% faster than the RX 6600 - I would suggest getting something a bit faster if at all possible. The RX 6600 is still a pretty good card for 1080p, but the extra resolution is a bit too much with most newer games. Though if you are okay dropping to medium settings or utilizing upscaling it won't matter as much.
It's should to be close enough, the spec is called sensitivity (SPL) and most headphone manufacturers try to hit around 100dB/mW.
Hopefully the setting would allow you to fine tune it based on what headphones you have.
Twitter started with a 140 character limit as that was what SMS messages originally were limited to (and still are, but phones can send and combine them seamlessly), as that was the original way to access it. It has since been updated to 240 characters iirc, but the idea still is that it's a microblog where readers don't have to read novels worth from each of the people they follow, and for longer content you write it on your own blog and link to it. But in the age of social media, hardly anyone has one anymore and you end up with this.

Ah, the Desire Z was amazing. Used to play doom and pokemon in it as well, the keyboard worked great as a controller.
