This is where I’m at too. DICE/EA were absolute muppets with the most recent Battlefield with own-goal after own-goal. Literally trying to make BF into a hero shooter with operatives etc. like, stupid bastards took Battlefield out of Battlefield and wondered why it was received poorly.

That being said, I really hope they’ve learned some lessons and this newest instalment knocks it out of the park. Could absolutely get back into a Battlefield game.

This is what gets me too. CBA has the money, they can employ Australians and pay decent wages! They should be ashamed.

Croc was one of the first games I got for my PS1. Felt like a bit of a lost gem but that’s probably nostalgia talking!

I agree! But, I also think that might be some weirdness with how the system treats lighting on the normal icons compared to ones updated with their new materials in mind.

Almost all of the 3rd party app icons I have are various levels of blurry but the system icons seem fine.

Just to clarify something, because I think the majority of people here only know what iOS 26 looks like from the thumbnail. Below is an actual screenshot of the iOS 26 beta running on my phone.

Just like Android, things are customisable and the icons in the thumbnail are the most egregious version of the new visuals. I find it hard to believe anyone will actually use that styling tbh.

I still hold Call to Power as the best “Civilisation” game. I started playing the actual Civilisation games from Civ3 onwards and was pretty consistently disappointed because most of the ‘new and exciting features’ had already been in CtP and were often DLC in Civ. Kind of wish a modern CtP would get released.

One of the biggest controversies at the start of all of this was Ubisoft pulling The Crew whilst pushing people to buy The Crew 2. Frankly it’s amazing we haven’t seen that more often with the near identical sequels such as the Madden, FIFA, F1 etc games.

No one’s forcing you to buy a remaster… unless they are because they revoke your right to play the original so it’s your only option.

Remasters and remakes will still happen but companies won’t have as much freedom to yoink a purchased product from your pocket years down the track in the name of some profit strategy.

Alternatively, when the console control scheme is tight and well made but the PC controls are ASDF + whatever random keys spread at opposite ends of the keyboard.

Alt+tab also cycles between 2 tabs in edge if a previos tab was selected

Alt+tab? What about ctrl+tab? What we were talking about…

To answer my own question, I did a bit of searching and it looks like ctrl+tab still only cycles to the next tab in Edge. There’s a few requests for it to cycle to previous tab like alt+tab but looking through the settings and stuff it still doesn’t look like an option.

Always happy to be proven wrong but it looks like it’s still not an option.

It’s so odd to me that this isn’t the default behaviour for all browsers especially Edge. It’s literally alt+tab behaviour but for some reason browser designers decided it wouldn’t work that way.

It also gets pushed out! (Normally)

I’ve had 3 batteries replaced in three separate phones. The closest thing to an “issue” is they broke 2 of the phones, sounds bad right?! But wait, there’s more. Since it’s the phone manufacturer and quite obviously their fault they replaced them with brand new phones of the same model. No more scratches and such. Just had to restore them from backup.

Also had a brand new phone start doing weird shit. I took a video of it doing the weirdness and went into the store. They couldn’t fault it or replicate it in any way. Still replaced because I had proof and the dude was super chill about it.

Obviously, not everyone is going to receive the same service or see having a complete new phone over a replacement battery as a positive but from my experience I can’t fault Apples service so far.

Yes, though not to the extreme.
