You probably didn't realise FIFA 23 is actually one of the most classically PC games around

This week I have been mostly playing Company of Heroes 3.
Well, until I couldn't cope with how much like a fan-made mod of Company of Heroes 2 it feels. Seriously, it's like they don't want you to play it. Fingers crossed it gets better, because the start of the thing is turgid.
This month I have been testing everything.
I've found an RTX 40-series laptop I actually like, a Lian Li chassis homage, tested some CPUs, next-gen SSDs, and a rather lovely wireless gaming headset of Planar Magnetic type. Mmmm.

It's like I'm sat in front of my old Windows 95 PC again. In my mind's eye I can see the inexplicable Turbo button protruding uselessly from the front of my beige, landscape PC. I can feel the intricacies of the autoexec.bat and config.sys files flooding back into my frontal lobe, and can almost feel the special pain of trying to free up a few kb more of conventional memory filtering into my nerves again. That's how it feels trying to get FIFA 23 running on PC.
