The development team is responsive to community feedback, suggesting a commitment to the game's future.

Elden Ring players are hard at work putting the new Tarnished Edition DLC’s new gear to the test

The Tarnished Edition of Elden Ring has introduced new armor sets, weapons, and starting classes, prompting players to experiment with the game's mechanics. Notable player SaxSlaveGael demonstrated the effectiveness of a new sword's Muleta skill against the boss Gaius, while Ilamahradeys showcased the sword's power by nearly depleting the health of the Full-Grown Fallingstar Beast with a single jab. Players are also focusing on aesthetics, with the "fashion souls" concept thriving, as seen with admiration for a new chestpiece from the Idus starting class. Additionally, the heavy armor class introduced in the DLC has gained attention for its enhanced vigor and strength stats, beneficial for melee characters. The excitement for the Tarnished Edition reflects players' eagerness to explore the new content.

Windows 11 just revived one of its most missed features

Microsoft has updated the taskbar, allowing users to customize it through Settings → Personalization → Taskbar → Taskbar behavior → Taskbar position. A new "Small" mode minimizes the taskbar's icons and height, suitable for smaller screens, but it can only be positioned at the top or bottom. The Start menu has been rebranded from "Recommended" to "Recently used," and users can hide their name and profile picture. There are toggles for managing the visibility of pinned apps, recommended content, and all apps. Future updates will include options for small and large layouts and an automatic resize feature. Windows Search has been improved for clarity, with future updates indicating the source of search results. Users can disable web or Store results in search settings, and Windows will automatically index frequently used folders for better search efficiency.
