Not to defend him (can't really stand his videos at all) but he's not a journalist. He's just a freelance spokesman for products that will sponsor him.
I've got it on ultra settings and have never noticed a frame rate drop. The game is around 4 years old and has a number of bugs, Valve kind of just abandoned it despite it being one of the flagship VR experiences. The software not recognizing a CPU that came out 2 years after launch and perhaps a good six months since it's been updated isn't a huge surprise.
Yeah it was billed as some Tom Cruise slock like it was some video game movie. Heavy on the cgi but pretty good far as near future sci-fi goes especially with time travel.
This is how dictators exist. The valuables they are stealing from their country get reinvested not just to their personal enrichment but also enriching those people key to keeping them in power, from bodyguard to security departments that spend most of their time monitoring citizens for wrong think.
Not giving aid to Ukraine when they needed it most was GOP playing a fucking game. US should have taken this seriously and intervened in Feb 22 when they knew this shit was going to happen weeks before Russia launched their stupid invasion.
Their entire goal is to commercialize it.
Its not about efficiently moving large numbers of people. That makes too much sense for this endeavor since you need a set/rigid schedule and predictable travel patterns.
These abominations, are for the convenience of the individual, in the most poorly thought out way. Rather than waiting for the 3PM, they want to advetise you can show up at 2:51 and get on the next available pod and embark, and charge a premium for no waiting and probably try to jazz up the idea that you don't have to worry about other riders ruining your trip or being a distraction.
It entirely ignores the basic engineering problem of more moving parts means more chances of failure per trip and a single pod going down at best causes the entire line to shut down and at worst a catastrophic pile up as following pods fail to slow or stop and ram into the broken down pod.
Regular trains have conductors who can contact the control station or manually slow the train if an obstruction is on the track and some trains even have engineers on the train or on call who can report to a troubled train in short order to deal with the issue. These smaller pods probably arent all going to have gps or location trackers in them to cut costs so even if the pod can accurately report problems there is no garuntee the engineers will be able to quickly and easily find or know its general location to render assistance as needed.
Id also wager enough of these pods to carry enough passengers to equal a common commuter trainer would have a lot higher maintenance requirements compared to that commuter train, so despite charging higher ticket prices the company probably won't be making any more profit than if they just managed regular trains. I'd be willing to be anyone that concerned about privacy for commuting and willing to pay higher would just find that buying or renting a car or bike was just as cost effective and less restrictive than these pods.
TL;DR this entire exercise is a solution looking for a problem and is generally worse in every way that matters.
My main issue with these is they don't have any benefit a regular train doesn't have for long distance and for shorter commutes in low traffic areas that aren't densley populated enough to warrent a proper train or tram... You'd probably just a bike.

Skull is pretty thick and well shaped to deflect some blows away from vital bits.
The chest is a wide, flat area with significantly less protection and full of vital organs that do not stand up well to blunt force trauma or intense shock-waves.
Granted though, using 1/4 kg of TNT or equivalent, anything point blank to the chest like that is still going to take your head off. His neck was probably giblets before the pain signals could even reach his brain.
Funny how they praise success these studios achieved before suddenly slamming the door shut and firing those people, but 343 has literally been fucking the corpse of Halo for 12 years now and you still funnel then millions of dollars to keep ruining everything.
Their terms of service specifically say if you spoof your location or do not sign up in your country you will subject to review and punishment. Aka permabanned

Greeding corporations saw something was popular and profitable 10 years ago and are now doing everything they can to take a slice of the pie and get their fingers it. With more hands in the pan, there is less pie to go around, so they squeezing every last dollar they can out while lying to consumers about why. The income on these ventures is so laughably high and many production costs of the few original programming offered so low that they could cover everything on 5 dollars a month if not less. But if they did that they couldn't give their executives million dollar bonuses, which is the only reason they are in the business.
