So I'm not a Halo guy, I've actually never played one before, but some friends were playing Halo Infinite and it's free so I gave it a shot...
I have 5 hours in the game now and about 4 of those is me waiting in loading screens for this ##### to just crash. I've only managed to play with and against bots, and I can say the gameplay is fun but it's not rewarding to play that way (it's endless and there's not even an objective).
My rig isn't amazing, but some parts have been updated since I built it and it almost meets recommended settings, let alone clearing the minimum so I can't figure out what is going on here at all. I should at least be able to get 60fps on medium settings but somehow I'm getting 45 on low and can't actually play with real people. What's crazy is like... Apparently this is a confluence of known bugs that aren't being addressed at all.
I've got a modern mid end PC (Ryzen 5600x and GTX 3070) and even on medium setting, Halo Infinite runs like dog poo. Huge frame rate drops, and I max at 85-90 FPS, where in any other game at those settings I should be pulling 160-200 (Though I cap it at 120). Splitgate is where it's at. Feels like Halo 3, but has portal guns. It's sick. It's a better halo game than infinite, looks just as good, and can run on a potato. As for Genshin Impact, I put a few hours into it, just got up to a 4 person party and am liking the gameplay more. I'm hoping they integrate more mobility mechanics as I advance. Definitely getting the waifu collector vibe though, choice jiggle physics. I recently picked up Dead Cells. Apparently getting your first win generally takes 10+ hours? I got lucky on a legendary item drop, had a really sick build going, and got my first win at about 5 hours of playtime. First day of owning it. It's a REALLY fun game. Scratches a bit of the roguelite itch I got from Hades, which I'm still working on beating at 32 heat.

Hahah I actually just went back to Minecraft again with the new update. At least that runs alright, even with shaders! :O So I'm not a Halo guy, I've actually never played one before, but some friends were playing Halo Infinite and it's free so I gave it a shot...

Good to know that it's the game. My system is a little janky because I melted the old motherboard. So now my new CPU and board are much better than my GPU and things bottleneck (but there's no way I'm getting a GPU these days). But still, if it's between "minimum" and "recommended" it should at least run. In Genshin if you get a character like Mona or Ayaka, they have a completely different dash mechanic which is divisive. I got Mona on my second pull and Ayaka pretty early so I love their dash, but it gets stuck on some geometry. Hu Tao also has a unique dash, but it's more cosmetic than mechanical. And yeah, some weird jiggle physics that I don't need, but it sells I guess. I didn't even really notice it until I got Raiden Shogun. Gameplay-wise, they standard characters they throw at you early on aren't really it. They're fine, but I found the gameplay a lot more fun once I got different characters off of wishes. Especially the ones with with better animations or totally unique mechanics like Hu Tao. Right now it's the first double re-run banner they've ever done. If you need a main DPS you should pull for Eula (she's a phys dmg claymore with high dps and good animations). Albedo can be pretty cracked too, he's a sub dps for most people though not everyone likes his gameplay. He got majorly skipped the first time he came around because his banner was between two OP characters, so now most people are going after him. That was before my time so I have to pick too. But there's also this new character coming on the next banner named Arataki Itto, and he's a big muscle man with a pig, a club, and a six pack. So it's hard to say if you should save wishes or not. They actually introduced a rogue-lite mode into Genshin recently, but it was an event so it's gone for now. Now that I'm more into rogue-lites I should give Dead Cells a look-in. Though I'm saving hard right now cash-wise.

I got my hands on an Xbox Series X through the "All Access" program, which gets me the console and two years of Game Pass Ultimate, by paying about $31/mo for two years. That was great up until I was playing the XB1 version of Hot Wheels Unleashed, when I discovered I could no longer do perfect starts because the system runs that version of the game a little too quickly. Thankfully I found confirmation through a Reddit post that achievements and save data are shared between the XB1 and XSX versions, so now I just need to get the game when it goes on sale again.
Two games I enjoy playing baked as of late is Alphaset by POWGI, which is a crossword puzzle-like game where you have to insert all 26 letters of the alphabet once per puzzle to complete all of the words. The other is The Gunk, a scifi 3D platformer where you have to suck up all of this...gunk...that is sucking the life out of an uncharted planet. It feels very Ghostbusters-like, and I like playing it because it's fairly relaxing until I get too baked to figure out where I am. Then I start it up the next day (baked again) and am like "...where the ##### did I get myself," progress further, only to eventually get lost again.
