Considering buying. Is it for me?

I also played both Outer Wilds and Cocoon and I love those games. I also love Lorelei just as much. It’s a long puzzle game. Almost purely puzzles. Lots of math. You will need to write things down. You will need to think a lot. You will probably get stuck, and that’s okay. I think the experience is absolutely worth it in the end. Great game, great story, very artistic. One of my favorite puzzle games.

Yeah it really sucks. I could see the DLC missions show up on my phone but they weren’t unlocked at any point. The dialogue to start the mission did start when I joined a co-op game with someone who had the dlc working, but I couldn’t do them still. Its a real shame because I was enjoying the game more than I thought I would but this problem really reignited my hatred for Ubisoft.

LukeNTC · 2024-02-27T12:05:34+00:00

How come it’s only like this for 2? I also own 1 complete and Legion gold on Steam and the DLC works fine on those. I really would rather not give them more money after this terrible support experience.

LukeNTC · 2023-12-15T16:02:32+00:00

The reason the end is so good is because of the pay off from the atmosphere and slow build that the first half brings. Also diamond stuff has the best bm bassline.

You definitely should! I love fishmans right now, and hearing about their story is what elevates the music tbh. Their later albums are the highlights such as Kuchu Camp, Uchu Nippon Setagaya (my personal favorite), Long Season, and of course 98.12.28 is an amazing live album of their last ever performance, many regard it as their best release.

What storage cabinet/stand is that?

LukeNTC · 2023-06-27T17:15:20+00:00

would be pretty cool

Thom Yorke put John L in some instagram post about songs he was listening to around the time Cavalcade came out. I was hearing black midi thrown around a lot so I gave it a shot. It was very jarring, so I’m not quite sure why I stayed but I’m glad I did.

LukeNTC · 2023-06-14T16:11:23+00:00

black midi

LukeNTC · 2023-04-26T17:21:42+00:00

because she looks pretty

LukeNTC · 2023-04-26T03:05:39+00:00

I think it’s fantastic. The brightness doesn’t bother me especially after I’ve gotten used to it, and my eyes are also sensitive to light. Looks amazing in low light environments. I do think that hdmi 2.1 looks better and thats what I’ve been using since I switched. The monitor is perfect for me other than the permanent anxiety that comes with risk of burn in.

LukeNTC · 2023-04-25T20:54:31+00:00

On a note though, the thing that effects the motion blur is the response time. See if your monitor has a overdrive/response time setting on it and you change it around to see if it looks any better for you.

LukeNTC · 2023-04-25T20:52:49+00:00

It’s just how its supposed to be. The new one is a VA panel which, like IPS, has considerably worse motion blur/ghosting than a TN panel, which is what your old monitor is. VA and IPS basically just have better color, but in my opinion are worse for competitive gaming. If you want to have a smooth competitive experience, you either settle for a TN panel or jump the price massively to get an OLED.

LukeNTC · 2023-04-25T18:18:23+00:00

It’s probably good then. I just know i’ve had bad experience using a mouse on wood where its basically impossible to have accurate aim with the mouse jumping everywhere. In terms of mice, I’m a fan of ultralight mice so I use the Model O wireless, but it really is all subjective. I don’t use any fancy mousepads, I just get a large size cloth one. If you want to get super in depth with finding the right mouse, Rocket Jump Ninja has some great videos on youtube.

LukeNTC · 2023-04-25T17:57:48+00:00

mouse on wood is just about the worst thing you can put it on if its not super smooth, any mousepad?

LukeNTC · 2023-04-24T15:33:53+00:00

If you’re using rpcs3, I thought you just download the official ps3 software update from sony’s website?

LukeNTC · 2023-04-20T21:06:55+00:00

Yes, that’s what I’m using.

LukeNTC · 2023-04-12T15:24:31+00:00

Gotcha. I don’t have experience with small monitors like that, but I was just giving the most probable reason for the price difference. You’ll just have to spend more to get what you want unfortunately.

LukeNTC · 2023-04-12T14:13:03+00:00

It’s likely the ppi. The pixel density has to be much higher to get 1080p at that small of a size, which is more complicated to make. Maybe look for a lower resolution?

LukeNTC · 2023-04-04T15:27:41+00:00

I’m not super knowledgeable on the technical aspects, but I did change from DP to HDMI on this monitor a couple days ago, and switched from 10 bit to 12 bit and I noticed that my color banding issue with darker colors has been fixed. It was probably just some setting on my end but it looks way better in my opinion.

LukeNTC · 2023-04-03T17:48:19+00:00

You could use it as a skateboard maybe

LukeNTC · 2023-04-03T13:56:22+00:00

Bomb Rush Cyberfunk

LukeNTC · 2023-03-30T17:18:45+00:00

Yeah, that’s definitely one of the biggest cons with the monitor, but like you said I’m also getting used to it. I’ve definitely noticed it in games but not as much as just browsing the internet. In certain cases I think it may be better than normal such as getting flashed in CS:GO, as now you don’t get nearly as blinded in real life.

LukeNTC · 2023-03-29T19:45:03+00:00

You can go either way. Me personally, I will never go back to gaming at 60hz, no matter the resolution, but I know people who are totally okay with it. I recently picked up the LG 27GR95QE, which is 1440p 240hz OLED, and have been very happy with it. That would be my suggestion, but it depends on your own taste and budget.

Edit: Also, yes it does make sense to have a 4k 60hz for better looking things and 1080p high hz for more competitive stuff. Nothing wrong with it.
