ALVR isn't awful. I needed new hardware and bit the bullet knowing I was likely going to lose VR, but with the hardware upgrade, it's nicer in the new machine (Bazzite, 7900XT) than the old (Win 10, 2080 Super Max Q). Definitely not a drop in replacement yet though.

Now do the same for your shitty AI search that drive me to finally jump to DDG.

I agree with you on Burnout 3. But Paradise has a per street crash mode high score, which while not as good as 3s, is enough to scratch the devastation itch, and it's easily accessed on steam. So I don't think it's fair to say it has no crash mode. Just a vastly inferior one!

And I'm saying it's the same as world. You can drop off the net and play. Private session --> drop connection, play on. Can't say I've ever tried starting it with no network because there's no way in hell it's running on the deck, but you could with MHW, so I wouldn't be surprised if the same rules apply. I will try to remember to check later.

So far, yeah. If it's like World, eventually there's a quest that is just too damn hard to carry alone (Extremoth in Vanilla, I'm looking at you), but if you are not a completionist, sure you can be offline and single player for most of the story line. Actually it looks like offline support is slightly better in this one.

I'm not a total solo hunter, but I am 90% of the time, don't really play with randoms.

I think it was something to do with COVID stats during the initial outbreak, but yes, yes it was the UK government and their bizarre love affair with stupid tech choices.

Honestly not sure and the kids are firmly ensconced watching at the minute. I tried two or three, but it's the one with the "normal" Jellyfin icon. I tried infuse and another one, but this one was (for me) the best of the three.

Have a previous gen 4K, and have not encountered any issues with Jellyfin on streaming. There's a spectacularly annoying bug that you lose your config if the atv is full to capacity - and with kids in the house it means frequent logins are required. The iOS client also seems to lag on features and updates compared to the other clients, but other than that niggle it's been great.

It's very "lipstick on a pig", but you can run the PWA side by side with the native desktop. I have many screens so I keep non-call activity in the PWA version to avoid this nonsense.

I'm sure they will add tabs eventually as an afterthought and make it even more obtuse though.

I also reflexively delete the personal OneNotes and start a new one where I want it to be, but the war between me and Microsoft about how I want my personal documents stored has now raged for many many years.

Think we just found where those security jobs are getting cut from!

Depends if they are in charge I guess.

I wonder if anyone on this forum has played the game enough to realise that the entire rating is entirely justified just on basis of the bloody wheel of fortune, which while pragmatically only 0.05% of the game is the bit that keeps me up at night and regularly makes me make poor decisions that hurt both myself and the current run.
