One can speculate that OpenAI wants to be corpo-friendly for future advertisement/product placement?

If the version of the program does not change, but you make changes to the PKGBUILD, then you have to change pkgrel instead.
Sure, that's true!
However, typically (but not always!) in git packages there's usually a new commit whenever you need to bump the pkgver so your pkgrel wouldn't need a bump then.
pkgrel bump is only when it's the same (exact) version :)
Initially just set it to anything, then the first time you run makepkg it will update to the correct/latest version according to your pkgver() function.
Something else I see a lot of people get wrong: you only need to manually push the latest pkgver string when you make changes to the PKGBUILD, otherwise just leave it as-is, since it will auto-update locally when people run makepkg
Bad at maths...You a history buff, perchance?
Damn, they giving out electromagnetic interference for free, how nice!
You could install linux-lts, I sometimes use that as a sanity check in case there is some kernel fuckery
Did you also update systemd at the same time? It might be worth reverting that update to see whether it's that causing the issues.
To me, this sounds more like an fstab/systemd-automount issue rather than a bootloader/initrd issue
broken features like FSR4 (it needs a DLL from the AMD drivers to work that this thing doesn’t provide)
I assume the LLM assume you are using either Proton-GE, Proton-EM or Proton-cachy, where this flag actually works 🤔

Cool!
Word of caution: Avoid phrasing it like an UE5 remake of a game, in the age of AI game disassembly it might sound like that's what you did in this case.
IMO: phrase it like a reimagination of the game instead (or any other synonyms that might fit the bill!)
