     How to clean a laptop screen – spring clean your portable machine

Taking the time to clean a laptop screen is essential, especially if you want to keep your portable powerhouse in tip-top condition. Even careful gaming PC enthusiasts can end up with a mucky display, as even momentary touches leave stubborn smudges and marks.

It's worth checking how to clean a laptop screen, as it's easier than you think to permanently damage your panel. Using a damp cloth to tackle smudges is tempting, but it more often than not makes things worse. You'll also want to avoid using any old liquid cleaner, as this could ruin your panel's coating and leave irreversible blemishes.

Of course, you could just leave your display the way it is, but if you're rocking a portable rig with a high-resolution panel, you'll want it to look its best. So, to help keep your on-the-go experience crystal clear, here's how to clean a laptop screen and prevent gunk from obscuring your view.

     Genshin Impact tier list July 2022: the best characters in 2.7

Looking for a Genshin Impact tier list? There are currently 50 Genshin Impact characters available, so there's no shortage of candidates for your dream team. But with so many different weapon, elementals, talents, ascension bonuses, and constellations upgrades, finding your favourites can be challenging.

Don't let the placement of the characters on our Genshin Impact tier list deter you from pulling on the next character banner. While base stats and elemental abilities are important, the value of a character also depends on personal playstyle, available weapons and artifacts, and team composition. That being said, if your favourite character is in C tier or below, you may struggle to get past some of the more challenging Spiral Abyss floors. Don't worry too much if your favourite character is on one of the lower tiers; you can still make it work with our recommended Genshin Impact builds.

In general, being on a high tier means that the character is the best Genshin Impact character in their role, is not too difficult to build, and performs well regardless of teammates. Being on a lower tier means that there are better alternatives, or the character needs a very specific build or team to shine. Just to note, the characters are not ranked within their own tier, and with that out of the way, let's take a look at our ranking of characters in our Genshin Impact tier list.

I've enjoyed the early access experience of Vampire Survivors, hopping back on every few weeks to check out a new update and do all the new stuff (and make all the new explosions). The roguelikelike survival arcade game has grown a lot, and fast, especially considering it started as a solo project. As it nears version 1.0, the latest big update has added a new final boss to the final level, a flashy battle.

Nobody likes mannequins, except maybe Andrew McCarthy. Nobody likes dead bodies being puppeted around out much either, except maybe Andrew McCarthy. That's why I'm slightly disappointed that Supermassive Games didn't hire the legendary 1980s actor to star in The Dark Pictures Anthology: The Devil In Me, which revealed a little more about its spooky murder doll house in a new story trailer. I'm sure you'll be thoroughly creeped out when you watch it below.

Modders have been getting busy with FSR 2.0, AMD's latest, recently open source-ified, Nvidia DLSS-esque upscaling tech. First someone got FSR 2.0 working in Cyberpunk 2077, then someone modded the Cyberpunk mod to get FSR in Dying Light 2, and then someone discovered the mod of the mod could also mod Metro Exodus. Now, redditor Muddymind has figured out how to tweak the Metro mod so that it can act as an Nvidia DLAA clone, skipping the upscaling bit to solely provide better image quality and anti-aliasing.

crisis core reunion

In IGN's interview with Square Enix, the Crisis Core: FFVII Reunion development team discussed its intentions behind certain decisions. Producers Mariko Sato and Yoshinori Kitase talked about how the game will be a remaster of the original, as well. They said that while the story and core elements will remain faithful to the original, it will have updated graphics and a new voice cast.

The development team will overhaul the graphics of Crisis Core to match the standards of FFVII Remake, and the soundtrack will consist of new arrangements. The PC version, in particular, will target 120 FPS. The PS5 and Xbox Series X versions of the game will run at 60 FPS. Sato did not mention the Nintendo Switch version's target framerate, though she did say it will run at different resolution. According to the development team, it wanted to make the Crisis Core remaster as accessible as possible. Hence, they're targeting a wide number of platforms.

Regarding gameplay, while the DMW (Digital Mind Wave system) from Crisis Core will remain the same, it will be easier to link Zack's attacks. One major change will be to how you can use Limit Breaks. In Crisis Core Reunion, you will be able to use them at any time you wish. Previously, you had to wait until they appeared in the DMW.

The Japanese voice cast will remain the same. GACKT will also return to his role as Genesis. However, the English version will feature new voice actors. Rick Gomez will not be returning to voice Zack in Crisis Core, though Caleb Pierce already replaced him for his appearance in FFVII Remake. Briana White will return to voice Aerith after doing so for FFVII Remake.

Crisis Core: FFVII is available on the PSP. Crisis Core: FFVII Reunion will come out on the PS4, PS5, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and Windows PC in Winter 2022.
