"that thing's real?!"
So y'all have seen the Unreal Engine 5 tech demo, right?
I am over here, screaming, because it looks amazing.
I am not the person who wants everything to be photo/hyper-realistic and whatnot but omg this is amazing! I am absolutely blown away by how good it looks. Although I note that we are in 2021, almost 2022(!!), and still can't get water and skin exactly right.
(Also og Matrix Keanu Reeves looks really off - not so much so that it triggers the Uncanny Valley response in me, but you can definitely tell he's not real. I think it may be to do with the eyes, or possibly not enough texturing on his skin? And also the fact that Keanu hasn't looked like that in 22 years ;) )

In other yt related news, I watched a playthrough of The Hex, which is the previous game by the person who made Inscryption. I did this because there are subtle references to it in Inscryption, so I wanted to see what they were referring to, because until Johnny did their playthrough of Inscryption, I had never even heard of them.
I like the story better, partly because it feels more complete and better explained, but I like the gameplay less than Inscryption's (I dunno, there's just something about the card game mechanics that I really like).
I have a daft theory that involves both games, so I'm going to put it in a spoiler cut below!
So there's a theory that because Sado turns up in Inscryption, that she could possibly be the GameFuna employee, or maybe she's P03. I prefer the P03 version, because it fits with her having been a virus (still being a virus?)
But my daft theory is thus: what if Sado is the OLD_DATA? The data is meant to be something terrible and scary, and so is Sado. It would possibly explain its influence on the characters in Inscryption. She can warp stuff and take it over, and so can they after exposure to the data.
I mean, it's all wild gesticulating, but it was the first thing that came to mind after I was done watching The Hex PT. But that's me, leaping to illogical conclusions whenever I get chance!
