This puts Britain in the invidious position that the decision about who ARM is allowed to sell to will be made in the White House and not in Downing Street,” he writes

Quoting: undeadbydawnThe Frictional-approved Amnesia Remastered mod is up, and it's glorious. Get it here https://www.moddb.com/mods/amnesia-the-dark-descent-remastered [External Link]

you have to place the included main_settings.cfg in ~.frictionalgames/Amnesia/Main for it to actually work, and work it very much does.

WUUT!?!

That's huge.

(I wonder if ARM would have been a billion cheaper some months ago, before Mac officially changed to ARM and number one of the top 500 supercomputers was taken by ARM. ;) )
