Experimental dash feedback

1. 
   Performance. Everyone's claiming it has a performance boost but I am not noticing any difference. Games and Apps now re-loads every time you enter it, so this part is actually slower. Fairly certain people are experiencing a placebo effect on loading the store/ mixer etc twists, fine.
   
   
2. 
   Layout. I like that more game tiles are on show now. I don't like how the background is almost completely covered. The ads are now much larger than game tiles which I find disrespectful.
   
   
3. 
   Features. The Discover area is 2 ads and a current activity suggestion. Visually the suggestion is nice because it features game art, but to know that I have 1 friend playing Sea of Thieves is virtually useless information. There are no changes to the twists, they have just been minimised into their own sections. And as another user pointed out, this means you don't see your wallpaper when using these sections.
   
   
4. 
   Details. It always says Resume above your current game no matter what you're doing. Vertical scroll speed on homd has been tweaked. It's nicer now but the parallax on background image motion hasn't been updated to match this new acceleration which is quite jarring.
   

Early suggestions. Replace discover with content relevant to your currently playing game. (Hub shortcut, clips, achievements). Rearrange recent games list downwards to let wallpapers shine through

Also why are there no surveys or quests yet asking for opinions/ feedback on the dash? Feels like we are just here to make sure it works, not to validate UX design.

P.s. forgive any formatting weirdness, I'm on mobile rn
