Someone explain to me how the current pic illustrates an interface screw. I don't see it at all.

Still looks very unclear to me. I've looked at this image 9001 times and I still don't see "clearly blocking the game".

It comes through pretty clearly for me and I'm not a gamer and was unfamiliar with the trope. It seems to work quite well actually.

Maybe it's just me then. I'm very much not a gamer either.

I think the image is self explanatory. No change required. Requesting Lockup.
