Yes, Smart Select. I do that now, but taking a full screenshot and cropping it is slower for me than the old Smart Select. I hate this new version, it’s slower and doesn’t work the same, we should get the option to pick, but they forced the upgrade and I have no choice.

On Samsung they got rid of a perfectly good screenshot tool and replaced it with one that has AI, it’s slower, clunky, and not as good, I just want them to revert it. If I wanted AI I’d download an app.

Nostalgia-wise it’d be Phantom Hourglass, it’s super underrated, super fun game! But otherwise it’d be the Switch duology, they’re incredible games

Controversial take, I don’t think mods need to be paid. You don’t have to be a mod, you’re actively choosing to be a moderator. If you aren’t getting paid for your work and dislike that, then don’t do it. There’s always going to be someone willing to do it for free, like a hobby.

Since I got my Steam Deck, I think that was 2 years ago or so now? But I also ended up using it on my Windows PC to replace Amazon, Gog, and Epic.

It’s not perfect, but it does the job and means I don’t need multiple clients.

Heroic Launcher is decent enough to use.

Third Secretlab, it’s still pricy but far more affordable than HM, has all the lumbar support, and whilst it looks gamer-y it lacks the awful shoulders that makes it bad for you so it’s actually comfortable.

I had to WFH at my parents for 1 day the other week, couldn’t believe how bad my back pain got from 1 day in a crappy office chair. Their support was good too, my magnet head rest kept falling down so they sent me a brand new one

My first choice would be a Framework, second choice System76.

Also works with Amazon and the free games you get with Prime

Even cracked I didn’t like it, I swapped to YT Music ReVanced. The Spotify algorithm used to be good for me but lately it kinda sucked.

My last car purchase was £8650 for a 1L petrol from 2016. And I bought it this year.

If he could direct me to the nearest electric car of the same price and range I’d be happy to buy one, until then it’s a stupid comment and ICE are going to be here for a LONG time, purely because not everyone can afford expensive vehicles.

Are there any good dumb EVs? No internet features, no tracking, just an electric car I can get in and drive?

I constantly see features built in to the car but artificially locked behind a paywalls, like heated seats or even speed, software that tracks you or staff able to watch you through cameras.

I just want a car.

(Plenty of modern ICE are the same, I dislike them too)

Yes the architecture is different but that’s not the point I’m trying to make. Microsoft are actively pursuing backwards compatibility and trying to make it better, FPS Boost and enhanced resolution are both such prominent features that they’re advertised on the Xbox store for each game that has them.

It’s something Microsoft is pushing for, FPS Boost was developed by the Backwards Compatibility Team, they then work with developers to implement it with past games. PS5 has Game Boost but aside from it just being there Sony isn’t offering the same assistance for developers to improve older titles, if this was an Xbox game you bet Microsoft would be helping to implement FPS Boost and get it to 60fps.

On Twitter I see a lot more people shitting on Series S|X than PS5, now I’m no Microsoft fan but that console has far superior backwards compatibility to begin with, and they have plenty of older games with “FPS boost”. Sony doesn’t seem to want to do this and I don’t get why, it’s entirely possible and would probably help PS5 sales.

Worst part is you just know Sony will go out of their way to try and patch around this.
