CUDA only had its initial release in 2007 (compared to the mentioned crack in 2009), and I remember it being a fairly limited product at that point. GPUS were also much slower back then.

Present in specialist clients like Eudora, perhaps, but I think for mass-market users that only touched webmail and Outlook the introduction of threading in Gmail must have seemed heavenly.

It could work - but loading modded DLLs on CS is a great way to get VAC banned. It would be a very expensive tech demo!

I second the BlockTube recommendation. It's great for spoiler avoidance too! Put in keywords like: "ending explained" "top 10" "death scene" "betrayal scene" "all bosses"
