The current mood in the Middle East as a whole, and specifically the Arabian peninsula, is one of extreme political anxiety and tension, something reminiscent of 1914 Europe. Every nation is suspicious of the other, irrational state chauvinism is the general mood. War is coming.

It's all fun and games for now but the most likely outcome is that software providers will stop digital distribution of their software and force users to rely on their cloud-based services (which are uncrackable), at least for their most important features.
🚨 ANYPS5 JUST HIT 100% GPU SHADER INSTRUCTION SUPPORT! 🤯🔥
• GPU shader instruction support is now 100%
• 1,166 of 1,166 tracked RDNA 1 + RDNA 2 instructions implemented
• Every tracked shader instruction category now shows 100%
• System library implementation increased to 84.81%
• 2,573 of 3,034 currently declared system functions implemented
• libc is 97%
• libkernel is 95%
• libSceAgc is 85%
• libSceAgcDriver is 76%
• Recent Silksong testing is already reaching actual gameplay while more rendering, performance + stability issues are being fixed
And remember, AnyPS5 is NOT traditional PS5 emulation. It converts PS5 executables into native Windows/Linux programs while reimplementing the PlayStation system libraries they need.
100% shader instruction support does NOT mean 100% GPU or game compatibility, but going from 98.03% yesterday to completing the entire tracked RDNA instruction list is one hell of a milestone. 👀

Goethe found Shakespeare’s scale terrifying, a mind too vast for the visible world. A productive nature, he said, “ought not to read more than one of his dramas in a year if it would not be wrecked entirely.” He got Shakespeare out of his system by writing Götz and Egmont.
