@Bowserguy621 I play everything with a controller, so I can’t really say how it compares to mouse and keyboard :P

Forgot I still had DLSS 5 set up in Cyberpunk 2077, so I messed around with it again.

Seriously though, would you use neural rendering in your games if you had the option, or is it a hard NO for you?

[𝐀𝐬𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐎𝐧𝐞 🌹 @ashenone_vi]

@ChrisManzano15 I still can’t get over those posts where people applied DLSS 5 multiple times 😂

[𝐀𝐬𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐎𝐧𝐞 🌹 @ashenone_vi]

@IAmAlyxxFoxx Ooh, got any games in mind you’d want to try it in first? 🤔

[𝐀𝐬𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐎𝐧𝐞 🌹 @ashenone_vi]

@idonotexistelol Yeah! Gave the change a try, but almost everyone knows me as Ashen One, so I decided to switch back. Glad you’re happy to see it too! :)

Cyberpunk 2077 is an absolute feast for the eyes!

With Update 2.5 and Edgerunners 2 on Netflix, I'm starting a new playthrough! My first time finishing it on PC and playing Phantom Liberty!

I'll miss REDengine... Do you think CD Projekt Red can deliver the same magic with UE5?

[𝐀𝐬𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐎𝐧𝐞 🌹 @ashenone_vi]

@xShephardx Thanks, bro! Glad I’ve finally come to my senses :P

[𝐀𝐬𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐎𝐧𝐞 🌹 @ashenone_vi]

Update 2.5 drops tomorrow (October 22), so there’s still time to install the game if you haven’t already :P

More Cyberpunk posts and gaming content in general coming soon, so stick around if that’s your thing! :)

[𝐀𝐬𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐎𝐧𝐞 🌹 @ashenone_vi]

@b0bbyweird Not yet! The reveal is today, and the update releases tomorrow (October 22), so you’ve still got time to download the game if you haven’t got it installed :P

[𝐀𝐬𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐎𝐧𝐞 🌹 @ashenone_vi]

@Loyal_Samwise4 How did it run on Switch 2? So far I’ve only been buying exclusives for it, but I’m tempted to get some third-party games too. Can’t wait for Zelda: Ocarina of Time though, haha. That’s going to take up a lot of my time 😂

[𝐀𝐬𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐎𝐧𝐞 🌹 @ashenone_vi]

@Spawn0289 Yeah, I’m not a fan of developers abandoning their own engines for Unreal either, though I can understand why it’s happening. You absolutely have a point about some games having a similar feel, and that worries me too. Hopefully CD Projekt surprises us in a good way.

@simonlovemachin Lmao 😭

Guys, I'm taking a few days off, maybe until next week. I'll spend some time playing games, thinking about what I want to do with my content and come back with more energy. I want to be more consistent and really push myself to see how far I can take this.

Also, I'll admit it, changing my name and profile picture wasn't my best decision. Don't be surprised if my next post is under my old name, Ashen One, with my old picture, but I'll let you know!

A little update outside of gaming:

As I said, I'm preparing to get back into studying. I have an appointment next week about it, and I'm honestly really happy that things are moving forward.

I still need to figure out what I'll do with my full-time job. Leave right away, work until the end of the year or stay until I start studying? We'll see. It'll still be a while before I start studying, so I've decided to keep creating content for now, once I've had this little break. Things are also finally getting back to normal at work, which should make things a lot less stressful!

For the account:

I'm thinking about posting one video and one image a day. I know some of you originally followed me for the images I used to put together or the memes, so I'm thinking about bringing those back too.

Maybe a quote post too if there's something I want to talk about. My most-viewed post on X is actually a quote post, even though I've barely spent any time on those since joining. They won't be constant, though, because I don't want them to take over my account.

I'm also thinking about bringing back gaming news! I used to share it more often, and I wouldn't mind doing that again whenever there's something interesting worth sharing. Of course, my own gaming content will still be the main focus of the account. More than anything, I want my posts to reach more people and connect with other gamers who share the same passion.

As for what I'll be playing:

The next game you'll see here might be Phantom Blade Zero, or something completely different, depending on when I come back. I haven't decided yet, but I'm planning to start doing franchise marathons! I already have a few in mind :)

I've also been contacted about showcasing quite a few games, and I'm definitely open to checking them out! Of course, I want to focus on games that genuinely interest me and that I think you guys would enjoy seeing too.

Anyway, give me a few days. I still have plenty I want to do here, and I want to come back ready to put the effort in.

Thanks to everyone who keeps sticking around, supporting my posts or messaging me to chat about games. I really appreciate it, especially when things aren't going as planned. It means a lot to me, and I'm preparing something for you guys as a little thank-you :)

If you made it this far, here's a cookie 🍪

@edzxhub Hahaha 😂 Already switched back! Sticking with Ashen One for good this time!

[𝐀𝐬𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐎𝐧𝐞 🌹 @ashenone_vi]

@Rasturac88 Hahaha had to finish the rebranding side quest 😂 I’m good, man, just need a few days to recharge. Thanks for checking in, take care too! 🙏🏻

[𝐀𝐬𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐎𝐧𝐞 🌹 @ashenone_vi]

@FoophaD Haha, that makes sense. I gave it a try, but some people are only NOW realising who I am 😂 I’ve already changed the handle back, and the name is next. Gonna bring back my old picture too when I get home. Thanks for the support, man! ✊🏻

[𝐀𝐬𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐎𝐧𝐞 🌹 @ashenone_vi]

@KristoffMikael Thanks man! Looking forward to Phantom Blade Zero too, hopefully we’re in for a good one!

[𝐀𝐬𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐎𝐧𝐞 🌹 @ashenone_vi]

TL;DR: Taking a few days off to recharge and rethink my content. Might return to my old name, Ashen One. I'm preparing to go back to studying, and once I'm back, I want to be more consistent with gaming videos, images, memes and possibly gaming news. I'm also planning franchise marathons and looking forward to covering more games!

Thanks for all the support! 🖤

25 days since its reveal and the GTA VI collector’s box still hasn’t sold out.

Those people who bought it “for their collection” might actually have to keep it, because who’s paying them €545–€700 when it’s still €399.99 directly from Rockstar? 😂

[𝐀𝐬𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐎𝐧𝐞 🌹 @ashenone_vi]

@Rasturac88 Yeah 😂 For €399.99, I’d expect a much better collector’s box than this.
