Sweet but also creepy considering you're 16.

Been 16 more than twice now!

Even the concept of coming out for a political orientation is insane. Religion as well but to a lesser extent. My friends and family know my values but I don't think anybody has ever asked me who I'm voting for and I've never made it known. And I couldn't say anyways since the party varies based on the election and the level of government since a political party is not an identity.

A patch recently improved the performance and also basically stopped most of the constant stutters, but it still performs pretty "bleh" on my PC with RT On.

With RT Off, it looks good and runs decently mostly at 50-60fps - but, RT is a game-changer; looks amazing. It's too bad...optimization's awful here. Hope they can get it down, as there are some places in cities where it tanks to 10-20fps even at times.

Might be best for many...just to stick w/ old versions until they optimize it or better hardware is out there...if anyone could afford it. [shrug]

General Gaming / Re: The Ascent - solo/co-op cyberpunk ARPG/twin-stick shooter game

I fell off of this b/c of its difficulty spikes. Seriously, this game can be all over the place, at times. As much fun as it is when everything's clicking, there are times when it's punishing. Namely, if you don't have the best levels, equipment, and/or right build to take on certain enemies.

One boss fight literally stopped me dead in my tracks. Even w/ difficulty lowered, still punished and lost - so, I gave up, sadly.

Maybe another time, I'll re-try it again.

I tried to get into this and failed. It seemed like it would be up my alley, so not sure why it didn't click, but I ended up refunding it. Somehow just didn't feel like I was going to stick with it. Did the same with Risk of Rain 2 that everyone seems to love. I really found that one weird and un-fun.

Oof, well that's disappointing.
