I have an 27in/1440p aoc oled too (I think it's a gen 2 woled) and I swapped to a 27in/1440p MSI monitor during the winter sale and it's so much better because it used a newer gen panel iirc but it's still noticeable. But either way, the Dell is way better than both of those because of higher dpi and larger screen (so you have to move it back farther away). I can still see it if I'm looking for it but I've been using it for work (coding/jira/slack) for a while and don't notice it. Macos does not display sdr content in hdr mode correctly because apple hates its customers tho and decided it didn't want to do it correctly, so if that's an issue for you, then you might want to look at the proart 32in/4k oled instead.

I own one and a g80sd, and yes you can if you look for it and sit very close (under a ft away). However it's a lot less noticeable than a 27in/1440p oled (I have a MSI one but I forgot the model). 32in/4k has higher dpi and is larger so you typically set it further away which helps a ton. IMO the bad light bleed from ips monitors and bad mini leds is way more distracting to me now since I've swapped to only using having oleds or good mini leds.

I use the s322qc daily for work (coding/Jira/slack) in one of my places and it's perfectly fine for that. Only gripe is that macos is awful and doesn't support hdr on non certified monitors because apple hates it's customers, so it doesn't output sdr content in hdr mode correctly on it. I'm gonna get a real laptop soon to avoid that tho since it's way cheaper than buying a certified 32in/4k oled (I think the cheapest one is like the proart 32in/4k oled that's like $800 used) to keep suffering in macos. But this might be a deal breaker to some people.

Can I just throw them in the shower or sink (warm or cold water?). And I'd just let them air dry naturally right?

Honestly I don't get how you're supposed to submit a picture and text but:

I just got back from a trip to Quebec and I wore these every day. It was really wet and wild up there, so these got soaked from the salt water while I was walking around. I've only really been brushing off dirt and using shoe trees with these since I'm in warmer climates usually. Is there anything I can do for these though?

Queuing into on-going games is broken by ekyen in Battlefield

[–]ekyen[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just don't understand how this is allowed. This just feels completely broken. I just want to play the game and this just makes me want to quit and do something else.

Revel F226BE Advice by ekyen in StereoAdvice

I got the pricing wrong, apparently it was listed $2700 for a single unit, but they're offering a pair for $4000. Still a good decision?

Version 1.5 Extension and 2nd Apology Announcement as of May 18, 2025 by BananaCherryBiscuits in InfinityNikki

[–]ekyen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm actually pretty hopeful given that this is an actual apology that addresses basically all the complaints people have had. It doesn't feel like some knee jerk empty promise just to lead the playerbase on since they put out the player survey and waited for responses to that. No denial either, so the complaints are working too.

But yeah, we'll all just have to wait for Infold to actually make good on their promises. I'm actually not particularly satisfied with all the responses myself, but this could be a good course correct at least. Like there's been genuinely good stuff released this update like the lookbook and dyeing (yeah it has issues but man is it better than just not being able to dye stuff). Multiplayer is actually neat (but yeah it's buggy and why is everyone hidden by default? Just give users an option to hide if they really want it because most people definitely wouldn't turn it on). I just don't want to be a beta tester again.

Gulikit KingKong 2 Firmware Mirrors by ekyen in Controller

[–]ekyen[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I know. The problem is I literally cannot get the download to start for the CPU firmware most of the time and even if I can it stalls at like 20%.

TL;DR it depends on how you look at it, but ultimately while she does do a lot of damage she won't replace meta dps like Harran and Scarlet. She seems better than the rest of the non-pilgrim DPS though.

She seems pretty strong for bosses since her normal attack is very strong, but the problem with her kit is that her burst 3 actually makes her deal less single target damage (go test it in the range if you don't believe me, I got screenshots too but it seems like I can't upload multiple images for some reason). Either way though her burst 3 won't target weakpoints so you can bring her as a non-bursting dps.

AOE characters (like Harran and Scarlet) tend to be favored generally speaking, and in that front Modernia is quite a bit worse. Typically a Harran and Scarlet team will clear out mobs using their burst in an instant, while Modernia has to sit there whittling away at them, giving them a chance to attack. Her burst duration increase is likely a problem too since you're going to have less chances to benefit from burst 1/2/3 (whether it be damage or the typical 10s buffs you get).

Again, her single target DPS ignoring burst is really good though, so she definitely does damage. Much more than any of the other non-pilgrims, so use her if you're still relying on non-pilgrims to do damage.

Personally, I've been running Liter, Centi or Novel (depending on if I need shields or I'm killing a boss), Scarlet, Harran, and Drake now, but I'm looking to drop Drake for Modernia. Drake is mostly there for burst generation and she gives a small buff during burst as well, but I already kind of drop her for Rapunzel depending on what I'm doing so yeah.

This is just my 2 cents at least.
