    FYI, the "unplug Xbox, plug back in, resume game" thing is a feature on PC with Windows as well. It's called Hibernate. The way it works is it saves the RAM to your SSD or HDD before shutting off, then you can unplug. Next time you start it the contents are loaded back to RAM and Windows continues where it left off
    You can also suspend individual games and leave them open when starting another one in Windows. In Resource Manager, Process Explorer etc. You can right click a process and suspend it, at which point it no longer uses up any CPU resources. Someone's even made an app called "universal pause button" so you can just hit a shortcut button and the current process will be suspended. Useful for games with unpausable cutscenes
    Contrary to popular belief, most games don't crash when you do that. Some games will, yes, but the Xbox doesn't allow suspending in every game either. Some games just aren't compatible doing that, even on the console

      Pretty sure, I could do 4K120hz too on my old build from 2011.
      With half-life 2 or something?
      My 970gtx is just getting issues to run newer games at 1080p60hz. A card from 2014.
      Using FSR or downgrading the resolution fixes my issue. Old hardware can still be interesting, if the expectations are reasonable.
      While I have a 144hz screen, 72fps is plenty for demanding 3D games.

    Backwards compatibility was definitely not expected on old consoles. There was ps2 to ps1, and wii to gamecube, and wii u to wii, but thats about it. I wasnt playing my genesis games on my saturn, or my saturn games on my dreamcast, super nintendo on my n64, etc. It was definitely appreciated, but was never really a talking point back in the day, because console games were evolving so quickly, it was seen more as a "nice to have". Back in the day, generational leaps were so big, that we werent really concerned with what we used to play, because of the excitement of massively improved graphics, controls, and mechanics. Remember, we went from snes to ps2 in the same timeframe we went from ps4 to current day.

    I actually do play my handhelds instead of my PC quite a bit. I'm sure that will change once I get my Steam Deck, but for now, the handhelds have a convenience that I can't get with my PC right now. That unfortunately is just a reality in my life until my kids move out lol. But yeah I actually have an extensive collection of handhelds from both Nintendo and Sony as well as games. I probably will keep them as well for travel because I doubt I would take my Steam Deck with me when I travel. That has more to do with the fact that I have less to lose in that case if they get stolen or something. So I still see the handhelds as having some value to me. I even mod them and put the games on so I don't lose my cartridges and discs.

    I always wanted to do an 'anti-streamer' type video where I make fun of all the tropes that typical streamers do. I have a feeling you might feel the same way I do about a lot of streamers. I don't watch streamers because they are absolutely shitty game players in most circumstances. They are constantly looking at their chat trying to appease their every demand missing key parts of the game they are playing and when they're done talking and thanking someone for subbing or donating they're lost and have to ask chat what to do because they weren't paying attention. A lot of them just either rush to or through the main story line missions ignoring any and all side quests and then spend most of the time complaining that there is nothing to do and the game is boring and short. Then you have the ones that can't get past a minor glitch or bug in the game and shit on the game the rest of the time because of that river that was missing some water textures so they "just can't keep playing this buggy mess of a game."
    Stuff like that. I'm sure you can come up with more things in your style. Maybe that can be a video topic for you later.
