There is some C in the game as well:
It’s 99% written in x86 assembler/machine code (yes, really!), with a small amount of C code used to interface to MS Windows and DirectX.

Not sure vampiric “law” cares about renters rights. And if it does, is it based on current laws in the country they are in, or the country of origin? And is it the origin of vampires themselves or just the vampire turned. And is it based on the time they were turned or modern laws?
Either way, in one instance I they bought it from the bank after missed mortage payments. So they weren’t legally living there anyway but counted as last/current resident for the vampire since the bank isn’t a person.
That’s actually a plot point in at least one of the vampire shows. A vampire buys someones home from the bank, and they’re free to enter despite the resident/occupants refusal.
Yeah, Quake 2 recommended a Pentium 133, and that was released two years earlier(the AMD equivalent was released only a year and a half before the game). It required a Pentium 90 which was three years old, but it didn’t run smooth from what I remember.
That sort of requirement for a major component today would be considered self-sabotage for most non-vr pc games.
Try watching some traditional TV news that boomers and older watch, and you’ll quickly realize that it’s propaganda(doesn’t even have to be a right leaning channel). Many of them are completely unaware of what is actually happening. Whenever there’s a story about a school being bombed and children dying, the only thing they hear is terrorism this, terrorist that.
One of my neighbors in her sixties was shocked and acted like a serious crime had been committed when some kids wrote “Free Palestine” in chalk on the sidewalk. Because in her mind the kids were openly promoting terrorism, instead of trying to stop fellow children from dying.
I don’t want to go all conspiracy theorist, but there seems to have been a serious push to villify Signal over the last year or so.
^Alita
Although an Akira crossover with Alita could be fun.
I am surprised to not see used much more yet
It’s because a huge amount of people in leadership positions around the world still think they can just keep their head down and pretend nothing bad is happening.
Yeah, the amount of industrial machinery being controlled by ancient hardware would baffle a lot of people.
For a comparison people might relate to: There are ATMs running twenty year old versions of Windows XP.
