Why does the area around the bus station & market feel left behind in comparison to the rest of the city centre?

Wasn't quite sure how to word the title without making it too lengthy!

I used to work in the city centre going back 7-8 years but then moved elsewhere and since then I've rarely needed to go into town due to moving a fair distance away.

I've recently landed a job back there however and noticed how much of the centre has been updated, cleaned and generally improved. Newly tarmacked roads, fresh pavements, new clean bus stands, new shop fronts & so on. Catching the bus on or near Infirmary Street or walking around that side really feels much cleaner and far better than what I remember.

But then I get to the bus station & Leeds Market side (especially the area where the NCP Car Park & COOP are located) and it genuinely doesn't look or feel any better compared to 8-10 years ago.

Its almost like a time warp going back a decade compared to a few roads away, especially considering the Victoria Quarter and that area has all been refurbished.

It still feels very dirty & unsafe depending on the time of day, there's still plenty of crackheads & such hanging around at all hours similar to Trinity/Boar Lane, the pavement and roads are visually grimy - just baffles me considering how much work has gone into the centre everywhere else.

The title might not be the clearest, but what I'm asking is whether there are any COD games you genuinely have no memories of playing?

I've been revisiting almost all of the COD titles from MW1 onwards and while there's some which I remember very well (familiar classes I used daily & the maps are still very much clear in my mind), there's also some COD games that I physically have no memory of playing despite having days worth of playtime.

I'm looking at some of the classes where I've maxed out weapon camos, my clan tags or completed challenges.... and its all drawing a blank lol. MW3, Ghosts, Advanced Warfare & BO4 I apparently played a lot, but I honestly cannot remember any of the weapons, who I played with and I'm like Gandalf having no memory of these places regaring the maps.

Whereas other games, such as COD4, WaW, MW2, BO1 for example my memories are very vivid and as fresh as they were when the games were active.

I'm jumping into COD4 matches and remembering off the fly where to go, where players hide, which routes to take as I circle the map. Loading into MW2 I'm instantly bee-lining around to my favourite camping spots or where to catch players out..

But man... I load into AW or BO4 and I have zero idea whats happening, where to go & so on. Its facinating really considering how much time investment I had into these.

Hey everyone,

I've had this TV for around 5-6 months now as it was within my budget and I couldn't go any further for a better model etc.

I know the HDR is too low brightness despite being advertised as such on this model, so the HDR output is always quite dark.

But for my PS5 Pro I've had nonstop problems trying to calibrate the TV for normal SDR usage. Its either darks are too dark (so interiors might as well be pitch black), or things are far too intense & bright.

Would anyone have any tried & tested presets for this model, mainly for gaming if possible? I've spent ages testing different settings but can't see to find a happy medium.

I've been jumping into the odd match on COD 4 & MW2 the past few weeks usually in the evenings.

Most of the time only TDM seems to find any lobbies, and even then they're not full and sometimes it takes a while to even find a game that's already in progress.

I've also tried the same for WaW, MW3 & Ghosts but sadly couldn't find a single match despite trying at different times on numerous days. Though WaW zombies was very active, I was finding multiplayer lobbies instantly with randoms. I haven't tried BO1 yet however.

Does anyone else still play any of the older titles on a regular basis?

I had heard there was a resurgence in popularity a few months back for the older games, but it seems outside of TDM I can't find any matches at all, and even TDM seems a lottery most nights (like domination, Headquarters etc).
