Gamer anxiety and guilt kicked in once again. And so once again, I changed up the algorithm that drives what I play each day and night. I won’t get into its complexity. The aforementioned personality defects combined with OCD lead to a quite overly-complicated ruleset. Let’s skate by that and discuss what went down. I continued my journey through Granblue Fantasy: Relink. And while there is a lot I like about this JRPG (this coming from someone for which just a short time ago, that genre was one of my “nopes”), it suffers from a similar affliction as the Ace Combat series. Battles that last too long; overstay their welcome. Parts one and two of the fight I engaged in tonight combined for a total of 50 minutes; 20 for the first part, 30 for the boss battle. In between, there’s nowhere to make a manual save. And both this game and Unicorn Overlord also have long interstitial periods between campaign chapters. I normally want to get through that and pre-stage everything before my last save so I am done with any reading and it’s just off to the next chapter when I come back for the next gaming session. Makes it a bit of a chore to wrap things up.
I also got about an hour-and-a-half of CoD: MWIII in, also on PC. Had some decent matches, I’d call it an above average night. I’ve almost max-leveled the 5.56 assault rifle that is like the FAMAS. I’ll look the name up later. LoL.
I should loop back to say that GranBlue Fantasy: Relink looks gorgeous on a 27″ IPS display. Planning on getting back into CyberPunk 2077 tomorrow. I need to burn-down some of the new games I bought last year.
Gotta put some gray matter on planning my next GPU upgrade. I need to get rid of this last Zotac card so I do not have that brand in any boxes. It’s a 3070Ti, but that box only has a 750W power supply, so I need to plan around what it can support. Good news is that during the last tweak, which was a cooling system refit and forklifting that build into a new case, I did get some custome power cables for it and ran two discrete lines for the 8-pin PCIe connectors. So, with a harness, I’ll be fine if the new GPU requires a +12VHPWR connector
