u/Cthulhukitten She/Her "Drop your shield. Perfect." 3d ago

Orientation week for my university starts this upcoming Monday and I'm internally screaming due to the anxiety. I'm excited but also dreading it since I suppose I just don't know how my studies will go and how I'll end up securing work. While it's fairly worrying, I guess it a problem for me at least two years from now... so I'll just worry about immersing with student life/studies for now.

For the moment I'm going to try to not think too hard about it though because OH MY GOD ACE COMBAT 8 IS HERE. Downloading now to my partner's PC! I can say I am truly excited to play today. Granted, I'll probably end up disabling ray-tracing because seemingly with it embedded it may not run well on her rig with a 2080 Super. Honestly though it has the potential to be one of the best entries in the series from what I was seeing of Pat playing. I hope to use some rad harriers and the Gripen, eventually the SU-57 too (my beloved).

I do have my qualms with a fair few decisions behind it, like the insane file compression issues, them switching to Unreal Engine 5, and some other things but I'm still eager to try this title and actually give it an honest review on Steam and talk about it here too. Worst case scenario though, I may have to refund it and wait to get a better GPU later down the line (or hold out for a patch).

Also since the autumn sale is here, I picked up Rogue Trader + the Void Shadows DLC and Umineko Answers Arc too on sale. Probably won't be playing through another CRPG too soon after Pillars of Eternity 2, but having Rogue Trader in my library will be nice for the future. And I finished Umineko Questions Arc a while ago, but for god knows what reason didn't conclude with Answers Arc. I will be rectifying that after Ace Combat 8 if my scatterbrain doesn't forget.
