That would require a custom solution. It comes around in the office every so often and I have to remind everyone we already have more projects than we can juggle and are running low on disposable money regardless...

https://www.dsogaming.com/news/deathloop-suffers-from-mouse-jittering-and-stutters-but-not-due-to-denuvo/
Bethesda has just released Deathloop, however, it appears that the PC version suffers from some issues. From what we’ve discovered, the game suffers from mouse jittering issues, as well as stutters that are present when gaming with framerates between 60-90fps. However, these issues have nothing to do with the Denuvo anti-tamper tech.
>> Arkane is "actively working" on it.

Explore the real world of Vikings in Assassin's Creed Valhalla's 'Discovery Tour,' coming in October
https://www.pcgamer.com/uk/explore-the-real-world-of-vikings-in-assassins-creed-valhallas-discovery-tour-coming-in-october/
Assassin's Creed's "Discovery Tour" is a quasi-educational mode that enables players to explore game worlds and histories without the fear of being, you know, assassinated. It was originally developed for Assassin's Creed Origins and proved popular enough to be done for Odyssey as well, and last year Ubisoft confirmed that Valhalla would also get the tourist treatment. Today it announced that Discovery Tour: Viking Age, as the new mode is officially known, will go live on October 19.

Dance to the beat of dead air in Life is Strange: True Colors' hilarious (and concerning) streamer mode
https://www.pcgamer.com/uk/life-is-strange-streamer-mode/
Life is Strange: True Colors is out now, much to the pleasure of Pacific Northwest teen drama lovers everywhere, but one part has streamers howling with laughter. Enabling streamer mode in True Colors removes all licensed music from the game so you're not struck with a DMCA takedown. That's great for streamers, but results in one of the year's most hilarious videogame moments, when protagonist Alex dances with her brother Gabe to a Kings of Leon song, but it's just pure, cringeworthy silence.

Amazon is finally set to release New World very soon, and MMO fans are hungry for it. It's the first game of its kind in quite a while, and could turn things around for Amazon's flailing games department. But let's get right to the truly important question here: Should New World have mounts?

Halo: The Master Chief Collection may cease seasonal updates after Halo Infinite's launch
https://www.pcgamer.com/uk/halo-the-master-chief-collection-may-cease-seasonal-updates-after-halo-infinites-launch/
While I might not agree with all its additions, 343 Industries has done a hell of a job keeping Halo: The Master Chief Collection active with new maps, modes and cosmetics, arriving in massive seasonal drops roughly every 3 months. But with Halo Infinite coming in hot this winter, 343 suddenly finds itself with two live-service Halo games—and understandably, it sounds like work on the legacy bundle will be slowing down.

Why Deathloop's kick is so satisfying
https://www.pcgamer.com/uk/why-deathloops-kick-is-so-satisfying/
Deathloop is a fantastic game but one aspect of it that has an especially delightful gamefeel is the application of Colt's ginormous boot of justice to enemy posteriors. God the kick in this game is amazing for all sorts of reasons, but prime among them has to be just how far the baddies go flying once you've unleashed the beast.

Tales of Arise shipments and digital sales top one million

https://www.gematsu.com/2021/09/tales-of-arise-shipments-and-digital-sales-top-one-million#disqus_thread

Well deserved. It's very well optimized on PC and doesn't have Denuvo. The only thing I don't like is the lack of Ultrawide support.

Well I am not saying they need to do that asap. But if they are successful, they should do something like that as while Framework laptop is interesting enough, Dell XPS 15/17 laptops are already quite repairable/up-gradable while having quite the premium feel, especially with the tiny bezels. Plus, Framework can already sort of do it by allowing you to replace the motherboard which houses the CPU and you can technically upgrade from an i5 to an i7 by only needing to replace the motherboard. If they can somehow expand on that and say, 4 years down the line, give gen 1 users an upgrade path even if they need to replace the motherboard, then I think that would still be plenty.

So I did manage to get my Moms phone backed up... Thanks to Google Drive! Thank you Apple, Thank you Tim Cook...

IIRC some GPU solutions would allow some of the larger ultrabooks to pack desktop GPUs and stay within the acceptable temperature averages so long as you didn't mind huge and bulky laptops. 

You would still rely almost exclusively on your own skills to deshroud the GPU and slot it into the special shroud though, and it would be woefully finnicky AF and start getting frustrating after a while if you found out the GPU you managed to get your hands on didn't fit the shroud. 

Either that, or companies start selling mobile GPUs... 

Even though as far as I know, GD sucks balls and AD was never good. I use iCloud services mostly for the email (convenient enough) and shit I don't mind loosing but would rather keep around if possible. 

I rely mostly on an ungodly fusion of Mega and iMazing, with some JB to read and text/use iMessage on my Wintel machines. 

Well I am certainly not asking for a Desktop gpu in a laptop... Since you can already replace the motherboard on the Framework laptop that houses the CPU, it shouldn't be that much more difficult to have a motherboard that can be replaced which houses both a CPU and GPU.

I would love to use iCloud but Apple would rather not let me do that without deleting all my Moms pictures and videos...

https://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=9319804

Even though that does seem more sensible, it's also far more expensive. 

Also, don't use either! Apple and Google but suck at cloud storage and communications. 

Seriously, as I said, the only Apple Cloud service I rely on is the e-mail (and sign in with Apple since I already have a working ID). They suck at any other thing.
