You’re right. Most of the issues with guns aren’t with someone who keeps one to protect themselves from a wild animal, it’s those who keep them to… those who have semi automatics and live in suburbia and fetishish the idea of someone?? breaking into their home so they can use their big, fancy, killing weapon??

Like… They have a perceived threat that’s never going to happen and yet they keep this murder tool under the guise of protection when it’s really just something they think is cool, but is also something that is more likely going to be fatal to themselves and their family than to an intruder.

100% this.

I was with you up until the “I would still get one for safely” part. We must clearly live in different kinds of areas, I’ve never felt the need to own one for any reason.

I’ve decided go big or go home.

I saw an OLED in person at my local big-box retailer, the LG 39GS95QE. A 39in ultrawide. The pixel density is pretty close to that of my existing LED monitors. I never was a fan of the curve until I saw it on an ultrawide; it only seems to make sense to me on an ultrawide.

They have it in 45in but that would be too big for my space, too big for my arm mount, and would reduce the PPI to something around 85? All those drawbacks don’t seem to be worth it for me as I do use my monitor for productivity more than gaming.

So that’s where I’m leaning now.

Beach? Alligators don’t like saltwater. They like lakes and rivers and such. Maybe he was swimming in a lake. Lakes wouldn’t have lifeguards.

Also, anyone in Florida knows you don’t swim in lakes. You treat all bodies of water as if they have a gator in them.

Granted, we’re talking about an idiot that would swim with alligators. So that part might be true, but a lot of this story is suspect to me.

For a cowboy from a place with no atmosphere you understand atmosphere pretty well… sus…

IT’S AN LCD.

NOWHERE in the product description did it say it was an LCD. If you go to their product website and search “LCD” you get nothing. (If you search LED you also get nothing). They intentionally hid that information: https://www.samsung.com/us/computing/monitors/gaming/32-odyssey-g50d-qhd-fast-ips-180hz-1ms-displayhdr-400-gaming-monitor-ls32dg502enxza/

Even on amazon if you search “LED” you get a question and answer: *Q: How is this compared to led ? between love the ad very impressive from samsung A: Hello and thansk for the question Yes this monitor uses LED’s If you have further questions, please feel free to contact us at 1-800-SAMSUNG or via live chat on our website (www.samsung.com/ca/support).

The reason that it looks weird next to my LED monitors is because it’s an LCD.

And I’m just out of the return window. I’m so upset.

EDIT: Return window was extended because it was bought in December and the holidays are a thing. It’s GOING BACK!

I mean, we read the headline. You want us to read the article too?

I played though origins a few months before the remaster was announced. I actually powered Pac man all the way up! Just in time to never need him. :/

Baten Kaitos 3.

It’s a jrpg series. The twist was that it had pseudo-“deck building” turn-based combat where on your turn your had to complete runs within a time limit to attack.

They released the first game, then did a prequel. The prequel improved on the first game massively, but you could tell they didn’t have as much budget.

A third game was planned but never completed. They recently released an HD remaster of the first two games which gives me a little hope, but the series has been overshadowed by the team’s current breadwinner, Xenoblade Chronicles (Shulk from SSBU).

An update was pushed to fdroid today. Haven’t tested it out yet myself, but this post makes it sounds promising!

Ok!

I use Feeder on android, which just lives on my phone instead of on my server.

Would you say there are distinct advantages to self hosting an RSS reader? Most of the time when im browsing sites and reading it’s on my phone, not my desktop.

So I have a 3-monitor setup, all 1440p with the 32" in the center and 27" on the sides. I’ve tried scaling for the 32" monitor, but windows “pop” to scale when moving them from screen to screen. It’s really great that I can configure each display to scale independently, but the pop is… peculiar.

If my center were a 4K screen then maybe scaling would help? According the the PPI calculator my 27" screens are 108.79 PPI and a 34" 4K would be 137.68 PPI. Roughly 110 and 140, pretty distant from being doubles of each other.

That being said, I did find some scaling options that made my 27" screens much more comfortable on my eyes, so if I increase the scale a little more a 4K might work out.

Since posting I’ve grown more comfortable with the larger screen, still not fully decided on it though. I wish there were more stores where you could just WALK IN and LOOK at monitors. The big-box stores around me all have laptops, chromebooks… groceries…

100% this

All three are wall-mounted, and the new screen will be the center. But even if they all were self-standing monitors it would be pretty impractical to change my monitor configuration after ending work for the day.

Are OLEDs better now in terms of longevity? I don’t want to pay 3 or 4x the amount for a screen that’ll die in 5 years because I use it everyday.

I also hear a lot about burn-in and software to jitter pixels and whatnot.

Reading the comments here, seems like Samsung was a bad choice.

Exactly. I can scale individual programs but not everything scales nicely. I can scale the UI in system settings, but things will look funny unless it’s in even increments.

1440p makes everything small on a 27in. If I did a 4k on a 32in everything would be even smaller.

I’ll keep this in mind if I replace. What brand do you recommend? Acer? Asus?
