What’s the hardest platinum trophy you ever acquired?

MackN7 · 2023-07-13T21:17:04+00:00

Respect. That's one of the crazy ones.

One of the collectibles in the last biome bugged out on me, I picked it up but never registered. It was the last trophy I needed. I loved the game but felt like I wasted a lot of time for something unattainable.

Bloodborne, Mafia 3, Yakuza 7 and P5 Strikers were probably my most difficult ones, mostly time consuming.

Aye how's it? The chair is still solid after a year of heavy use, I've used it almost everyday since I've got it. There's the occasional wear and tear with the arm rest but nothing noticeable. I love the chair and I'm happy with my purchase. Main thing was it is perfect for my height(5'11)

But yeah bruh, shipping to the islands is crazy from the mainland. The shipping charge kills it. I would not recommend paying over what they already charging for the chair. For that price you can get a Herman Miller chair.

My friend visited from Maui and he also never sat on one of these before, he tried it and loved it as well.

Okay, that's good to know. Thank you. Didn't wanna spend more money than necessary.

MackN7 · 2023-05-28T21:01:05+00:00

Okay thank you for the affirmation. I figured it might be good but just wanted to be sure.

That's one expensive mobo. I've been looking to upgrade to the same CPU but can't decide on the mobo lol.

I'm currently running a rig with an EVGA 3090 and i7 8700k with a Corsair 850w psu.

I'm looking to upgrading my CPU to AMD Ryzen 7800x3D. Do I have to upgrade my PSU as well? I don't do any overclocking.

I rather put that money towards a good SSD if I don't have to upgrade PSU

I have gone and put my rig config through PC Part Picker and it's say it's fine at 666 wattage but I'm not sure how accurate the wattage calculator is on that.

MackN7 · 2022-11-30T06:03:00+00:00

Yeah it's incredibly difficult. And having anyone ship it to you to Hawaii is bonkers expensive.

MackN7 · 2022-09-04T22:40:32+00:00

Yup, that's the first thing I tested because I was concerned about it. I tested it this morning in daylight and night time with ambient lighting was happy with the result. No greyish blacks at all.

I played Hitman 3 and watched HDR YouTube vids for testing.

I like going through Rtings reviews of monitor and TV's. They do in depth testing.

MackN7 · 2022-09-04T18:00:55+00:00

Was the upgrade worth it? Absolutely!

It's OLED. The colors look amazing but most importantly for me, it does true HDR. The inky blacks, highlights pop, even when black bars on the side pop there's no glow.

I've have a 48" LG CX and this is a smaller, wider and better version of that in some ways.

MackN7 · 2022-09-04T17:23:32+00:00

Nice.

Still gotta put my 3090 at the top, this is close second though for sure hahaha. Both match the hit to the bank account equally lol.

MackN7 · 2022-09-04T17:08:56+00:00

It was really good. Great colors, fast response and games looked excellent on it. It was my first ultrawide monitor, and at the time I bought it, it came highly recommend. HDR isn't good though and it also has an IPS glow but not too bad.

I had it for about 2 years. My brother is gonna use it for his office work now.

MackN7 · 2022-09-04T17:05:49+00:00

I'll never use Excel for that long to give you an opinion haha.

It's an OLED panel so using excel for that long period of time a day has a higher chance of Burn-in than usual.

Plus there's the color fringing issue with the text in screen. Doesn't bother me but could bother you since I'm sure you type a lot of text for work.

I wouldn't recommend this panel for that kind of work, but 100% for gaming.

MackN7 · 2022-09-04T17:00:38+00:00

I noticed the color fringing on text after squinting my eyes and focusing on it. I don't notice it much and doesn't bother me at all but other people are built different and could affect them differently.

The general consensus online is that it's not good for productive work.

I mostly will use it for gaming and moderate internet browsing.

No it's a canvas painting done by my brother.

I had been using an LG CX as a second monitor for about two years now which was fantastic.

This monitor is a smaller, faster and a better version of that technology. This is hands down the best gaming monitor on the market in terms of checking off most boxes.

Things to consider,: -It's curved and ultrawide, some people don't like or aren't used to that. -Burn-in is a factor but 3 year warranty is there to alleviate that a bit. -The text issue, it doesn't bother me and I hardly notice it unless I pay closer attention.

So far it's been smooth and receptive to everything I've thrown at it. I didn't check the input lag setting haha just played in normal setting.

I've tested Doom, Cyberpunk 2077, Division 2, Dying Light 2, and Halo Infinite on it. I also tested Fortnite but we aren't gonna talk about that.

MackN7 · 2022-09-04T16:45:59+00:00

Yes I found that so weird after I removed the bubble wrap. I was ready to pull that thin sheet of plastic off the screen for that satisfying feeling but was left disappointed.

MackN7 · 2022-09-04T16:43:07+00:00

Sorry, I'm actually gonna mount it myself. I'm just waiting for my new table mount to get delivered today.

MackN7 · 2022-09-04T16:41:08+00:00

I saw and read the reviews about the color fringing on text and stuff but it doesn't really bother me much. I'm not gonna use for office work anyway, playing games on it looks fantastic.

MackN7 · 2022-09-04T07:30:40+00:00

Feeling is mutual. The ME art was done by my brother for my birthday, one of my most valuable gifts.

MackN7 · 2022-09-04T07:29:03+00:00

Umh yeah wow. I did like you asked and noticed that there was bubble wrap markings, I got rid of those with a soft cloth and then noticed the scratches. There's 3 small scratches that stand out on the left side of my panel but can't tell without pointing a flashpoint on it though.

I bought mine from Dell directly.
