It was the mid-2000s, and 3D games were starting to look pretty damn good. Ten years earlier, and games were merely suggesting spaces through blocky corridors. A decade later, and we're looking at games that are near photorealistic. Source bridged that gap. It's at once the last gasp of things like bsp-based terrain, baked lighting, and the entire field of level design, and a peek at the lush, living words of games to come. Over the past ten years, developers have gotten really, bloody good at wringing spectacular landscapes out of the engine—but they're doing so with a level editor built in 1997, using limitations laid down in 2004. It's a bizarre tension, but one that gives Source maps a strange, almost haunted feeling. There's an intangible quality to the way Source levels are lit. Sounds all echo just a little more than you think they should. Hop into an empty Garry's Mod map, and the sense of isolation is overbearing.

AMC’s retail investors have propped up the company since January, sending the stock up more than 1,400% in the last five months.

On the other hand, the C.D.C.’s change has had a noticeable effect on behavior in a positive way. Dr. Rochelle Walensky, the agency’s director, announced the new mask recommendations at 2:17 p.m. Eastern on Thursday, May 13. Almost immediately, the number of visits to vaccines.gov — a website where people can research their local vaccination options — spiked, CNN’s Elizabeth Cohen has reported. Traffic to the website rose even higher later that afternoon, after President Biden celebrated the change and encouraged Americans to get vaccinated so they could remove their masks.
