Steam fixes Monster Hunter Wilds video recording, updates note-taking feature I'd never heard of

We don't people reviews astatine Rock Paper Shotgun. Some mightiness archer you this is due to the fact that we presumption numeric scores arsenic stifling oversimplifications of the wonderful, strange, and idiosyncratic experiences videogames tin offer, but it's truly due to the fact that the refurbished enactment keyboards we're assigned erstwhile hired each person their fig keys gummed up with Marmite and nary of america privation to interaction them.

I person scored games successful the past, however. Pay attention, due to the fact that I'm astir to divulge a communicative of corruption truthful vile and petty that I fearfulness my vocation volition ne'er recover: I have, connected occasion, reluctantly docked 0.2% of a constituent from a game's reappraisal people for being awkward to alt+tab retired of truthful I tin instrumentality notes. I volition not apologise. This is an accessibility feature. It's captious that I tin entree my notes doc astatine each times, lest I neglect to seizure immoderate prime content similar "more similar ASSassin's Creed: BOREigins lmao lol".

I've conscionable contiguous recovered retired that Steam added a diagnostic a twelvemonth ago that lets you propulsion up a notepad from the overlay tab and jot down thoughts, and I've lone recovered retired due to the fact that a caller update lets you present access these notes from the web (cheers, PC Gamer). People are seemingly chuffed astir it! My archetypal thought was "how is this utile to anyone but maine specifically?". Then I remembered those blank sections you'd sometimes get successful the backmost of crippled manuals. Then I thought astir caller games similar Lorelei And The Laser Eyes oregon adjacent Suikoden I & II HD Remastered. There are thankfully inactive games that clasp notetaking, and this feels similar a reasonably untaxing diagnostic connected Steam's end.

There are, I'm discovering, plentifulness of different usage cases. "I privation we could adhd notes to games connected the wishlist. I person truthful galore games that I've added implicit the years and can't retrieve why," Redditor bugfix00 writes.

Other redditor Madnesis adds: "Trying to paste a screenshot into my notes portion utilizing the Steam overlay would effect successful pasting a “⍰” alternatively of the existent screenshot. Man, I’m truthful gladsome I got a workaround but would person appreciated it sooner - truthful I could’ve saved each those STALKER 2 artifact spots successful my notes Steam notes directly."

Alongside the web notes feature, the latest Steam beta update besides offers "improved show of notifications for in-progress achievements," successful large representation mode, a hole to Monster Hunter Wilds video recording, and enactment for the 8BitDo Micro gamepad - a tiny lozenge of a controller that looks amusive to ain but awkward to use, particularly if you conscionable had to benignant '8' and present person Marmite connected your fingers.
