Good news for those that enjoy the mode. Personally as a tank main who moonlights as support, 6v6 was not for me (even though I had OW since launch in 2016).

Playing just brought back the trauma of OW1 one-trick roadhog tank duos and healbotting, and going back to 5v5 felt good to me, even with all the counterwatching.

Definitely wouldn't be surprised - MS have been making noises about reducing the level of access non-core Windows services get after the cloudstrike fiasco, and given MS's patch stability lately, I would also not be surprised if something leaked out early.

This is useful for updates so you're not bottlenecked as much (if you don't have automatic background updates set up).

That article hurt a little to read - it's not a T-Rex, it's so obviously a Utahraptor I'm a bit flabbergasted that made it to print. But I guess not everyone had my obsession with dinosaurs as a child...

I thought you were poking fun since it's David Tennant, not Tenet... I feel like I've been whooshed now.

You've got to give Microsoft credit for their dedication to backwards compatibility.

Arkham Knight is decent except for the batmobile sections - as others have already mentioned.

I'd still argue it's better than Origins though. From memory, memorising all the different toolbelt skills isn't really necessary - you can definitely get through the game by just abusing jumps, cloak and counters - some special enemies might need a specific ability to make vulnerable, but the game normally warns you the first time you fight them, so I don't think it ever feels too overwhelming - it just feels like a lot if you run through it very quickly.

This is why I absolutely refuse to install Valorant (and now LoL) - I could somewhat understand if an anticheat refused to boot up the game in question if something triggered it, but it going massively outside of its scope and wantonly disabling or killing other processes is just nuts to me.

If I really hate front end, but still want a lot of the responsiveness of a SPA, I'd have to give ASP.NET Blazor a serious thought.

It's largely all back end driven, with the dynamic elements driven via webassembly that pretty much works like black magic.

Have to disagree with you on echoes - I loved the game, but IMO it was much easier than Prime 1 - the most difficult boss was the probably the boost guardian midway through rather than any of the endgame bosses. The ammo system made the standard power beam too centralising which was boring, and the dark world damage just served to slow the player down, since the light fields regenerated your health.

No one's suggested it yet, so I'll say Fire Emblem: Three Houses - lots of gameplay hours, especially if you want to go through each of the four storylines, albeit can be a bit repetitive getting to that point.

With GOG, you could theoretically download the offline installer, give that to someone else and then ask GOG support to remove BG3 from your account, and be fully abiding with the EULA conditions.
