True next-gen graphics
The shot wasn't done at night, it was made during the day. You can clearly see sunlight in the image that shines onto the structure on the left.
First of all, your still shot is purposefully omitting the movement of the waterfall
That's called a screenshot. How am I supposed to capture the movement of a texture in a still image? It also doesn't make a whole lot of difference. The waterfall still looks like sewage even when it moves. Contrary to your claims, a real waterfall does not look like this, even at night or in the shadows. Why would the water be dark gray? It builds up foam when it falls down, so it's white. There are numerous pictures out there on the web of waterfalls in shadows and they all look white. Just an example.
Your whole post reads like you somehow need to defend this game at all cost. I had a lot of fun with Starfield, but the technical issues are glaringly obvious. And there is no shame in admitting that. Especially, since this is just meant to be a meme for shits and giggles. ;)
This game isn’t perfect but one thing it is, is absolutely beautiful
I'm sorry, but that is not true at all. There are beautiful areas, like the Neon planet, for example. But there are also a lot of barren planets with barely any materials or assets on them and these look really, really bad.
I just fired up the game again and landed on a random planet in my area (Al-Battani 1-C):
It's just the same type of rock everywhere and the same type of hill everywhere. To me, this just looks boring and visually uninteresting.
Compared to that, the Neon world looks great:
Neon is probably what you had in mind. But you cannot say that the game is "absolutely beautiful" with these extreme jumps in visual quality. And this meme is an example for an area on the main hub world that looks bad, so even those aren't always well-made either.
Premium Edition is 99$ on Steam, yes.
That’s the exact definition of not normally seen.
No it's not. You visit this area during a mission and you can visit it every time you land on Atlantis, which is the main hub city of the game.
Added to that, the whole point of Sarah bringing you here is to look at how beautiful this place is, which is ridiculous when you look at it. :D
There's no excuse for not improving the water system since they released Skyrim. With that budget, it should've been doable. I mean, look at that. It looks like sewage.
Starfield removed the roaming and the exploration and left some very mediocre storytelling and quests in its wake.
There are some great sidequests in Starfield. I started the game by just playing side quests and completely ignoring the main ones and it was awesome. I loved the Ryujin questline because I had a sneak-build and it was nice to just not be seen and wreak havoc. The one about the 200 year old starship and the AI ship were also pretty good.
But then I did the Sarah romance questline which was written like a fanfiction by a twelve year old...and continued doing the main quests which were just like Skyrim in space. Starborn...Dragonborn...ugh.
The first 40 hours were a solid 8/10 for me. Once I started doing the main quests, it dropped to 3/10. And the loading screens are just annoying after a while.
I was confused because they’re both ugly screenshots.
Something must be wrong with your eyes then. Elex looks really solid for a small-budget game that's six years old.
They don't even have DLSS support, the modders had to fix it. Added to that, the terrible inventory system which modders also had to fix...a ton of loading screens between small sections because the engine can't handle more...constantly running out of oxygen and the stupid grind for unlocking more skills...
I had my fun with Starfield, but it's an average game, not more.
Yes, it's an area in Atlantis that you visit as part of the romance questline with Sarah. Bethesda hasn't changed a lot in the water system since Skyrim and I believe it's laughable in 2023 for a game that costs 99$.
What a guy!

Something like Bottles could work, but since the installer portion of recent Adobe apps is broken, there would be no way of creating a useful installer.
I hope, support for these apps will improve in the future, as wine gets better. Just a few years ago, running Photoshop was a much bigger PITA, which is why I stuck with Windows for so long.

You're in luck, I just had this problem today and got it solved! :) Also on Fedora (38) with an Intel UHD 620. Proof:
First I got Photoshop 2020 from m0nkrus, because that's a patched version without the online activation. I installed it with qemu on a virtualized Windows 11 to get all of the files (because the installer depends on an unimplemented mshtml function and is just a white, unuseable window in wine).
Then I prepared a custom wineprefix with all of the neccessary files:
WINEPREFIX=~/.wine-adobe winetricks -q allfonts fontsmooth=rgb gdiplus atmlib vcrun2008 vcrun2010 vcrun2012 vcrun2013 vcrun2022 msxml3 msxml6
I copied all of the files in the C:/Program Files/Adobe and C:/Program Files/Common/Adobe directories into the same directories in ~/.wine-adobe/drive_c.
That's enough, you can now run Photoshop with a command like this:
WINEPREFIX=~/.wine-adobe wine ~/.wine-adobe/drive_c/Program\ Files/Adobe/Adobe\ Photoshop\ 2020/Photoshop.exe
or create a nice looking app shortcut with wine-create-shortcut.
Some things to note: The "new" file open dialogue doesn't work, you have to disable it in settings. Otherwise, nothing will happen when trying to create a new file.
Adobe Illustrator 2021 also works fine, but you need to build your own variant of wine with a patched gdi32.dll. The most annoying part was getting all of the -devel.i686 packages in Fedora, which took a lot of googling around. Haven't documented the full list while doing it, sadly.

Anachronox. This game has such a unique story and ends on a massive cliffhanger. If it wasn't for the limitations of the engine, they could've done so much better.
Still impressive they built a turn-based RPG with a load of ingame cutscenes on the Quake 2 engine.
The UK show isn't blasting energetic music into your ears while doing jumpcuts and powerzooms all the time.
It's so much more quiet. Ramsey seems like a really likeable dude here.
Really enjoyed binging all of those episodes, couldn't stand the US ones.
Man, I spent 15 bucks to watch it at the movie theatre. Why is the rent option more expensive than that? Even with the popcorn and drink I stayed below that.

Massive whitespace. So many websites just feel like a PowerPoint presentation with their large-sized fonts and large amounts of space I have to scroll through.
Makes it very hard to find information sometimes.
It's cold outside, there's no kind of atmosphere...
There's been an app for that for ages: DroidCamX.

Oh god. Imagine taking the biggest shit of your life, almost passing out just from the smell.
And then the ad service goes down...
watchsomuch.to works pretty well for me. Their filtering options can certainly be improved, but they have most of the 4K TV series content I need.
Some people are really pissed because I posted a shitty meme, it really is ridiculous. But I guess when you spend up to a hundred bucks on a 6/10 RPG that was hyped-up like crazy you need to vent all of this frustration somewhere...
