Short Attention Span Pass

Hi its been a minute since I last actually fully completed a game I am lucky to stick to the same game for more than a week, my wallet is getting lighter quicker than the old days. There are so many filler and AAA games nower days costing between £30 - £100 . Currently only play on the PC and play locally mainly single player walking simulator games.

I have a couple questions if anyone wouldn't mind answering!

Would getting the game pass, is like Netflix gaming, then if you like the game you can purchase it sith a discount because you have a game pass?

Do you wait for sales for games thats on your wishlist and is no the pass?

PC pass looks promising, however are most most day one access are mainly available on ultimate, is the pass for me?

Thank you in advance

After 8 years upgrade!

After 8 years of having a 1070, this gear was the year I got a 5080 and shocked by the size and power of this beast! - I did update my pc build 3 years a ago before I wanted to play games again, the 1070 was enough back then so I did not bother to upgrade. No point waiting as things will just get more expensive, got my 5080 £200 over MSRP.

First time experiencing RT and FU (Frame Upscaling, nkt the other one haha) are cool technologies and allows me to comfortably play in 2160P with decent frames generally. You can't really complain about the card to be honest.

Biggest surprise is the temps, I am getting tops 65c when playing with high settings for good 2/3 hours straight. I am looking foward the summer as now I have a nice radiator blowing hot air out from the top of the case. I LOVE IT!

Looking foward to use this beast!

My PC Sec, if anyone cares haha:

I have a budget to get either a 75" TCL C7k for £1099 or 65" TCL 8K for £1199. I have a viewing distance of 3.06 meters which "75 is a better fit. I know I just missed the sales in the UK :(

It seems a lot of sources say the C7K is mostly recommend for price to preformcne. I never owned anything bigger than 55" or had a tv in this house I have recently purchased. I am short very sighted if that helps -11 lenses!

Which you get mostly using steaming services to watch tv shows and some movies for the upscaling, this will be my first mini LED TV?

Edit: Another option I was thinking is to wait and save up for 8L when it comes out in the UK even its a 65" i can afford?

TIA

I had booked a round trip to LAX in August with passenger using avios points , using cash and a companion voucher directly from BA. Sadly my friend told me they no longer can make it due to thir own fault not illness. I still want to go and maybe if possible change the passagner who goes with me would be nice or I will go solo.

First leg was booked using Business and return was ecnomey.

Does anyone know what options I have with my flight itinerary, am I best to tell BA? - I understand its will be a loss with value and no refunds will be given - It happens and it is waht it is.

TIA

Edit: I will give them a call tomorrow 27/04 and see what they say.
