You might want to check your PC/Windows clock (and resync it?) Mine was ahead by 1 hour for some reason right now, even though my settings are set correctly and it said it last synced yesterday. I see at least 1 other person's reported this.  |

I swear it happens idk maybe once a year (if that), but weeks after the Spring Ahead? (And it goes forward another hour) Why?
In other news: The Halo Master Chief Collection is getting Mouse & Keyboard support on XBOX. 
Deathloop has also been delayed to September now.

And I swear my Taskbar was telling me "Sunday" yesterday.... I even did my Sunday stuff. Along with that it, sounds like things are getting messy in the newest Insider builds.

No.... They said a while ago that 10 was going to be the "last" Windows. But some people might already know what this looks like. What this might only be is them shifting their marketing finally to being updates like to macOS/iOS/Android. Nobody liked remembering or having to decipher the many ways Microsoft has tried to number or name their Windows 10 updates.
I hope this isn't too disruptive. AND I hope this doesn't break my access to the modified drivers I use for DTS surround sound over Optical. whenever / if ever they get rid of the legacy sound settings windows. |

Halo Infinite's multiplayer is F2P.I don't know how well it'll run on my PC if I try it, but
Also, like Bungie games, I think it probably feels better to play with a controller, despite it maybe having strong aim assist. But you don't play with a controller on PC, unless everyone is. I wonder if there's a matchmaking choice preference. Is it even crossplay? (According to an April report, it will split inputs for Ranked, but not Casual. )
Also, Forza Horizon 5 (yeah, I got confused where we were at the moment) might be beginning to be more like FUEL, which is pretty dang neat/sweet and I hope they continue. It's still not F2P though.  Horizon 5's world design is going more realistic (even scanned realism), but..... if you've seen any goofy gameplay videos of Horizon 4 before, the leveled up vehicles go insanely bonkers fast (is that how Horizon works?). At this point, I want Purist, tbh. Can you even play through the game like that? Not very many others will.
While Ubisoft seems to be embracing arcadey worlds.
God damnit, why can't these driving games go F2P?..... (Someone tell me how FH4 and NFS:Heat are still being sold for $60 and $70 respectively? It's to force you to subscribe, I know.)
Also, Bethesda's Starfield is a Microsoft Exclusive.

We've known about "Windows 11" for a little bit now, just officially being revealed today. It is a free "upgrade" and it is Windows 10 with some UI tweaks (at least some with toggles to the old way). (Example, your Taskbar icons are getting centered like Apple, including the Start button, though not the tray on stuff on the right, but can be toggled to old alignmnent.) Auto HDR feature from XBOX coming to W11 along with their API for fastest possible SSD* game loading. We'll see how that goes. It ain't gonna help me rn.
Also, we weren't actually sure if they were going to do it or not because its test build was removed but only delayed - the Android emulator is coming back with Windows 11.

Supposedly once again Microsoft is trying to make TPM 2.0 a requirement now for Windows 11. TPM 2.0's exited since 2014, but computers are even being made and released now that don't have TPM 2.0.
My motherboard is from around 2011, but does have a TPM connector/slot. There's a possibility that I may have to buy a $50 (or maybe just $20) chip to use official Windows 11. Will it even work with my motherboard? I'm not even entirely sure. (So far it's not seeming like it.) And I'm expecting these things to disappear / jump in price. I'm not even sure the best place to get one.
People have apparently been able to install the leaked W11 build without TPM 2.0 with a workaround - That seems ODD.
