Microsoft might finally get me to use Xbox Game Bar with its latest update

I like to forget that the Xbox Game Bar even exists. I've wrestled with it enough, taking over my screen when I reflexively press the Xbox button on my controller, and the utilities Microsoft offers through Game Bar don't offer anything I haven't set up with more feature-rich third-party apps. The latest update to the overlay makes it more appealing and much easier to use, especially if you're flicking around with Compact Mode.
