Not necessarily gaming related, but I remember their early coverage of every new Apple product as somehow more masturbatory than anything MacWorld put out. Then you’ve got their infamous complete mess of a PC build video and everything that followed that. I guess at least they aren’t written by AI yet?

IIRC there used to be custom tilesets/graphics packs, not sure if they’re still maintained after the game launched on Steam.
It’s possible. It’s definitely a game that asks a lot of the player to get immersed in the underlying story. Lots of relatively dense philosophical excerpts to read in the terminals. That’s on top of lore-related text to read which really fleshes out the pretty dark story they’re telling. Then there are the puzzles which might not be everyone’s thing.
The second game improves this greatly by moving the majority of the story out of text and into voiced dialogue with NPCs and a few cutscenes. The jump from the Serious Sam engine to UE5 is pretty mind-blowing in terms of graphics. I think there’s going to be a third one, as well?
If the game can’t suck you in, I’d at least recommend looking up the story. It’s pretty neat.
Aside from obvious ones like Baldur’s Gate 3…
Talos Principle 2 is fantastic from start to finish and makes you feel smart. I’d say playing the first one is a must in order to really enjoy it. The dlc, Road to Gahenna, is skippable. Most people I’ve talked to find they already own the first one somehow and just never got around to playing it.
Viewfinder was also good but felt kind of short. It’s priced fairly, though, so it’s worth a try.
Ghost Trick was really really good on the ds, not sure how well it translates to pc but the reviewer liked it. Some part of its charm was the interaction with the stylus. If it goes on sale, absolutely pick it up.
This just reminded me of getting super cheap/nearly free ad-supported Kindle fires from Amazon, obtaining root access and installing a different ROM. They weren’t half bad spare Android tablets once you removed the adware.
In terms of looks, I will say the rocky textures are pretty nice. Also they managed to map actors faces without getting that weird bugeye effect so many other games suffer from.
Not sure how you’re trying to run it in a container, but the answer would depend on a bunch of different factors. Nvidia has a utility you can install that assists in exposing the GPU to the container, documentation found here.
If you’re using docker compose to run it as a service, there’s a doc page for that too. Note that it uses the previous page I mentioned as prerequisite.
There’s another way to get it working from within kubernetes that comes up every now and then on stackoverflow.
If it’s Intel or AMD, no idea if this still applies.
