My departure day for the US is confirmed early December this year, which is actually a lot more than I exoected, so I’m happy about that, although it’s been difficult coming to terms with me leaving behind my mom & siblings behind for my cousins in the US. Also, all the troubles in the US hasn’t exactly comforted me, especially since I’m a minority there lol. Honestly, probably an unhealthy mindset, but trying not to think too hard on it in case I start to get too anxious or panicky about the future. It’s not like my country (Philippines) can really talk abt corruption lol.

Really want to play more of Fire Emblem Fortune’s Weave, but unfortunately due to family sharing agreement, can only really get it on the weekends lol. Am honestly worried a bit abt it because I have the bad tendency to not play a game anymore if I spend too long not playing it, but what can you do.

On the other hand, I did pre-order Ace Combat 8 (and 0) today, so I can still play that today, just trying to finish up Star Wars Zero Company and it’s respective Long War Mod first. It’s been a long time since I’ve had a full XCom like to play, and it saddens me that the genre is so limited nowadays.

Yeah, it's definitely saddening XCOM titles have not become more prevalent. Hopefully the success of Zero Company will encourage some other developers to try their hand at making a title like it.

Also hope you enjoy Ace Combat 8 too, friend! Likewise picked it up today and downloading it now. Very excited for it. If you haven't already you should definitely consider playing 0 afterwards, it's an excellent entry in the series.

Thanks! Am honestly considering playing Zero first, considering how jarring going from modern to “old” controls can be. Also somewhat scared that Zero Company may have underperformed still considering the cost of the game (think they broke 1 million sales only a week back) plus EA shenanigans, but I guess that’s out of our hands regardless
