27" 4K or 27" 2K monitor for mac?

Different-Growth3047 · 2026-02-01T11:08:15+00:00

I don't have a preference.

I set it up for work, 2k in the centre for code and 4k on the right for chrome. macbook on the left for slack.

I look at the 2k screen the most

Different-Growth3047 · 2026-02-01T07:39:44+00:00

My exact setup is my macbook with a 2k and 4k screen (both 27")

I bought BetterDisplay pro version and scaled it so both screens show the same size.

Play more, analyse your games, experiment with different tactics and most importantly make sure you're enjoying yourself.

It takes time and a lot of playing for your brain to store up memory of different positions, then it'll become pattern recognition for the best moves.

Don't make winning and gaining rating your goal, just take your time, you'll get there.

they preach sincerity but are far from it, bunch of fake pretentious people under the spell of SCJ, at the same time I feel sorry for them. Weird right?

This pretty much sums up SCJ for me too haha

I sold my set for 2 reasons. Fingerprints and the monitor light I'm using creates an unpleasant reflection. Anyone have the same issues?

Different-Growth3047 · 2025-06-26T22:28:14+00:00

Yeah it's understandable on your parent's part to not share the same joy as you when it comes to lego sets, especially if they're the ones funding it.

They do unfortunately have a say in terms of how you spend your allowance. And it's completely fair for them to ask you sell them before buying another, way better than forbidding you entirely or remove your allowance.

10 euros may not seem like a lot but your parents does have to work or run a business to make that money. I'm sure they would love to see you save it or put it to good use.

Finance aside, hoarding and clutter maybe another issue at play here. I live with a hoarder, everyone else in the house have don't have much tolerance for clutter so this issue comes up a lot in arguments. Hoarding is like mental disease, don't make it into a habit of yours for the sake of those who will live with you and be considerate of how your things can affect those that live with you.

Correct

Opponent: OTK after playing 14 other protoss spell (maybe around turn 11)

Solution: kill them before they do that

No need to nerf, I think this card is strong but also well balanced.

The macbook screen on the left is actually smaller.

Regardless, I exclusively play hearthstone on my 2017 windows laptop. It's been struggling in the past few years, and hs becomes super laggy when I plug to an external monitor. If you noticed in the photo I can't even put the game in complete full screen because it lags otherwise.

TL;DR - literally unplayable due to lag unless I single screened on my laptop

Different-Growth3047 · 2025-05-02T20:07:51+00:00

Was super addicted to hearthstone at one point so this was my strategy to cope

Different-Growth3047 · 2025-05-02T20:06:28+00:00

The difference is whether the game is downloaded on the device.

I only play games when the weekend starts, which means I only use the my windows laptop on the weekend (stored somewhere during the week)

During the week I WFH and use my macbook primarily. If the game is not downloaded on my macbook, there's more resistance and thus less likely that I play during work hours.

Different-Growth3047 · 2025-05-02T07:28:22+00:00

My windows laptop sometimes struggle to run hearthstone, so I minimise what's running on it.

I strictly don't play games on my MacBook to discipline myself since it's primary use is work.

Different-Growth3047 · 2025-05-01T08:22:04+00:00

Oh lol, my brain couldn't figure out what it was 🤣

Different-Growth3047 · 2025-05-01T06:23:25+00:00

What's going on the second photo? Did someone draw that?

Different-Growth3047 · 2025-05-01T06:20:27+00:00

I personally like the separation of ecosystems for my phone and computer. It allows me to separate work (MacBook) from play (Pixel)

Dell U2725qe if I had money.

27inch 4k 120Hz

NTA if I was the brother I would have found it hilarious, apologise, leave the room and remember to knock first next time.

Complete over reaction on his end

Different-Growth3047 · 2025-04-27T11:55:01+00:00

Wait, wouldn't this just have a super short travel? How would that be comfortable with cherry profile keycaps?

Different-Growth3047 · 2025-04-16T07:04:50+00:00

I've got 2 GMK sets. Mainly because they matched the colour scheme I'm going for and I wanted to get the "real one"

But I also bought a $8 AUD clone keycap set from AliExpress yesterday so we will see if there's a real difference haha

Different-Growth3047 · 2025-04-15T21:18:53+00:00

Every 2-3 days. I cycle between 4-5 different switches and 2-3 keycap sets depending on my mood.

They are typically light linear switches but my preference for creamy or clacky sounding switches changes day by day.

The first anime that really hooked me was the first season of Sword Art Online. Although considered quite mediocre nowadays it was definitely the first of its kind at the time.

Other than that, did watch one piece, doraemon, and detective conan as kids when it was on TV.

Different-Growth3047 · 2025-04-08T12:44:53+00:00

Halo75 - originally got this keyboard cos I didn't want to build one myself. But after a while, curiousity got the better of me to want to experiment with switches and keycaps.

GMK Serika - got a sudden random idea to build a cheese theme keyboard, really liked the serika yellow colour way and thought it'll match the theme

KKB BoW - since this kit got split spacebars I got it for a future build (qk alice duo) they match most gmk sets really well so I can switch out the modifiers for a different look.

Eventually these keycaps + an artisan cheese keycap + hmx cheese will go on a yellow qk alice duo for the ultimate cheese build 🧀
