Loving Genshin, Loving Epic

You know that one of the reasons why I can justify having a PlayStation 5 in my Game Room is so that I can actually play Genshin Impact on the console... Well, you can now scape that off the list. I am not a fan of kernel level anti-cheat and Genshin has that. But I did more research and did some tests and I can say now that I am comfortable with having it installed on my Personal Computer... via the Epic Game Store that is. So why have I decided on this? The lag. The horrible, horrible lag. Genshin on the PlayStation 4 was a baffling experience because of the intentional 30fps performance - there is no reason why the PS4 cannot run the game at 60fps. On the PS5, I was then annoyed by the consistently horrible 200+ ping that causes the game to lag pretty darn often. Now on the PC, I get 80+ ping and I have never experienced a single instance of lag. So yeah! PS5, you can keep your Smite (no HiPatchService.exe for me), but Genshin belongs to the PC. Since I have been playing a lot of Genshin, the player experience surveys from Epic for this game has been popping up on me constantly too.

Player input without all the nonsense.

The X-Box Flipperoo & A Surprise Judgment

After I got my X-Box Series X unit last month, my curiosity had resulted into me actually getting a couple of more physical games for the system - well, more like for the X-Box One but I don't have that console because I skipped that cycle - just to confirm if Microsoft had indeed designed the game disc holders to stay on the left side of the game cases. Well, here's the result:

Lefties rejoice! Definitely an unexpected, unique twist to disc storage.
