They are. T&F recently cut a deal with Microsoft. Without author's consent, of course.
I'm fairly sure a few others have too, but that's the only article I could find quickly.
The Forever Winter. Released in early access due to popular demand. It's rough, divisive, and difficult as hell. It's also incredibly grim and hauntingly beautiful. It's a PvE-only, stealth-based, extraction (non-)shooter where you scavenge resources to survive in the shadow of a military-industrial complex run absolutely amok. You are incredibly underpowered, outnumbered and outgunned, to the point where if you need to start shooting, you're probably already dead. Gameplay is tense, frightening, and really drives home the overwhelming feeling of being a small fish in a really fucking big pond. It's the opposite of a power fantasy and I'm really glad someone is doing something that different.
I'm not sure I'd recommend it in the state it's in, if at all, but it's definitely making me feel some kind of way. I don't normally enjoy extraction shooters, but I find myself coming back to this one. Not that it's really a shooter. Maybe that's what's doing it for me. The most divisive part is the water mechanic. It's a key resource for your settlement; If you run out of water you lose all your stuff. But, it drains in real time not game time so it's kind of a big commitment at the moment. Personally I understand both sides of the argument and I haven't decided where I fall yet. It's definitely worked on me because I find myself thinking about the game when I'm not playing, but if I end up taking a break I'm not sure I'll have the commitment to build back up from scratch again.

Any new parts are most likely going to necessitate a complete rebuild. Your mainboard probably tops out at PCI3, a new GPU will be PCI4. It'll work, but you won't see as big an improvement as you expect. Any new CPU is going to need a new mainboard because intel. New mainboard means upgrading to DDR5 RAM because that's the standard now.
Alternatively go the secondhand route, you should be able to pick up an i5 or i7 that's socket compatible for not much.
Oh wow I can't wait to strap a hallucination machine to my face
I'm running Bazzite on LeGo and it does this. No idea what until or settings it uses to achieve it tho.
I picked up a wireless Cooler Master mouse on impulse for $20 from a bargain bin and it's .. Actually okay. The software doesn't even need to stay running. You open the util, change the settings, close it, and that's it. Downside is the cable.. While it is technically USBC, they've done that thing where the port is recessed in a specifically shaped divot that only their cable will fit.
You can get out of your ship in Elite now.
I just recently decided to get into the lore myself, from my research the three consistent recommendations on all the lists are (in no particular order):
Eisenhorn
Horus Heresy
Gaunt's Ghosts
As an old school doom mapper from the 90s, it absolutely isn't. You build a room, apply F_SKY1 to the ceiling, and that's it. The engine renders it more like a wall, but it's not a traditional skybox in that it doesn't exist in the level geometry outside of the room it's applied to.
Even if it isn't changing IP, you still want it in your DHCP table so that IP doesn't accidentally get assigned to something else. It's unlikely on a small network but it can happen.
