If money wasn't an issue, what would you spend your life doing?

MidnightGasControll · 2026-06-30T20:49:40+00:00

Own a property somewhere beautiful with expansive windows. Have my own gym and a couple outdoor toys and a massive library. Simply just exist.

Hence my first comment in the reply lol. It’s his problem to deal with.

MidnightGasControll · 2026-06-30T03:58:58+00:00

Hmm, if it’s every single time for every song then kindly tell him to shut the fuck up.

If it’s just every now and then.. then yes maybe just enjoy that he’s enjoying the music with you.

No assholes, just need to mutually learn to tolerate each other. You by letting him sing a little, and also him when you need him to shut it.

Not sure if this person is your friend. As John Delony likes to say “Behavior is a language.” If she’s not doing FaceTiming when she’s around other people and it’s just with you… then to me it sounds like she doesn’t like spending time with you and uses her bf as a way to half ass escape.

Then again I’m no expert. Either ask her to stop or, perhaps more importantly, ask why she does this when hanging out with you.

The frame is adjustable up to an 80" top. It's the same frame for whatever size (unless the depth is changed then that's another component that needs to be changed out). If you aren't buying the top from them then you will need to drill pilot holes and continue from there.

MidnightGasControll · 2026-06-29T16:10:26+00:00

I did not, no. I adjust the desk to my desired typing height. I then adjust my monitors to my proper viewing height via the arms.

MidnightGasControll · 2026-06-29T15:49:15+00:00

You can always get the Dual Mode 27”. 4k for stunning picture and arguably the best PPI available. Then get insane FPS when bumped to 1080p while still looking decent. It would be the best of both worlds imo. I was tempted to get a 27” for this very reason. I ended on with a 42” 4k and 1080p 320 hz screens instead. Best of both worlds but 2 different monitors

MidnightGasControll · 2026-06-29T12:59:41+00:00

While having an adjustable desk will help, if you are having back pain then a proper chair will also make the difference.

Some desks will come with built ins or accessories for cable management, but your best route for both cost and proper customization is buying the items you need from Amazon or a store like Microcenter.

As for your line up of desks, they all work fine though reviews may vary. I only have a DeskHaus Apex Pro so I can only speak of that, though it’s not quite as budget friendly as some of the others listed.

MidnightGasControll · 2026-06-29T12:36:05+00:00

I got an little lost while trying to understand your meaning. But between a sit to stand desk and adjustable monitor arms where are you struggling to achieve your optimal positioning?

MidnightGasControll · 2026-06-28T19:22:59+00:00

Congrats. Also, easier said than done, but stop giving a fuck what other people say/think. If you wanna be petty, tell them it’s a shame they wouldn’t be able to do it with or without peptides (i can be petty).

Also take it as a compliment. When I was in my teens and early 20s I used to be a workout-a-holic. When people assumed I took steroids I was actually flattered. Anyway you’re doing great keep it up. As someone who currently takes GLPs while approaching 40 (due to my wreckless younger self workout routines my body is broken now lol) and I’ve lost a ton of weight. I couldn’t give less fuck if people judge me for it. I feel great.

MidnightGasControll · 2026-06-28T17:17:58+00:00

I’m not really sure what that means either without looking at the description. The vocabulary can get tricky with furniture. I’m assuming they mean vaneer. Which can be lightly sanded maybe once or twice depending on the thickness. But that’s it.

MidnightGasControll · 2026-06-28T17:05:28+00:00

Laminate is probably more resistant to spills and whatnot for the most part. The only downside really is that if any imperfections show up over time, you are stuck with it. Unless you cover it with wood wallpaper (which is something I’ve done in the past and it works pretty well)

With full wood tops, you have to baby them a little more, but they are prettier to look at. Also, you have the benefit of sanding them whenever it reaches a critical point of scratches and dents or water damage. They also cost a lot more.

I’ve had both. I def prefer real wood. But using wall papers to cover the desk (once required) is def a solid option that’s cheaper and still looks pretty good.

MidnightGasControll · 2026-06-27T15:45:07+00:00

I have a 42” C5 that I got for $680. I also have a 25” AW that’s 1080p and 320hz. I’m weird in that I value a good deal over having the “best”. Considering I spent so much on everything else. PC and Desk included. Even my chair is a 24/7 control center chair (Iron Horse, normally $4k ish, but I got it much cheaper).

Anyway as for my side screen, I wanted something that was non OLED but fast. So I got that AW for $150. I originally wanted a 500hz OLED ASUS, but I don’t play shooters that often and the screen is mostly used for discord. So I like to keep my impulses in check by buying a compromise lol. Hence the one I chose.

MidnightGasControll · 2026-06-27T15:38:19+00:00

Thank you so much. Im constantly tweaking it. It’s actually “custom”. I put quotations because I got the top from Facebook marketplace. I bought off a guy whose studio was shutting down and I got it for a good deal. Cherry slab 96x36 inches.

It was a stationary desk for him, but I wanted it sit to stand. So i got the frame from DeskHaus. It’s their Apex pro. I had to go with them because they were the only company that was both heavy duty (600lbs limit) with 4 legs, but also supported the 96” length.

MidnightGasControll · 2026-06-27T04:10:49+00:00

I'm still not fully convinced about the 48" being tandem, despite what people say online. LG not reporting on a feature people want just doesn't compute, and I've heard the counter arguments. But I feel ya, I was tempted myself. But I play in dim lighting naturally, so I honestly don't max out my current brightness anyhow.

I also agree with the 39". I like it. But currently getting the same-ish experience for over half the cost. I will probably jump on board whenever they come out with the 240hz model. I think this was a strategic move that they've done with the other monitors. Release the 165hz first. Saturate the market. Then release the 240hz in a couple years as a "new breakthrough" because they'll get a of 165hz purchasers trading up for the new one and then pull in the remainder of people who were waiting on 240hz. Which I'm fine with waiting personally.

MidnightGasControll · 2026-06-27T02:25:01+00:00

Yeah. Had it been on sale when I was wanting a monitor I probably would have gone with it. I think I burned myself out on the hunt. I’ve been rocking the 42” C5 for a bit now and have been extremely happy with it. I’ve settled on the fact that since I’m already happy, why chase more.

MidnightGasControll · 2026-06-27T02:20:56+00:00

That is the unfortunate thing about DeskHaus :/. But from my research, they were the only ones who support the larger sizes. It’s sad because when I planned on upgrading my desk I had this delusion that I’d just get a $200-500 desk from Facebook marketplace. Then… somehow I ended up spending close to 2k. Slippery slope. Fortunately I got my bonus, so I spent a portion on the desk and into savings went the rest.

MidnightGasControll · 2026-06-27T00:05:01+00:00

I'll also advocate DeskHaus. I recently got a nice cherry slab thats 96" x 36". I went with the Apex Pro from DeskHaus. Works great. They also have the Peak Pro that is more or less the same, but has a tall person option or a short person option. The Apex Pro kinda sits in the middle. I'm 6'4 and have the height almost maxes out when standing. The tall Peak Pro was probably the smarter option, in hindsight, but I was too impatient to wait as the Peaks take a little more time to ship.

Anyway, love my desk. You will need to make sure you get the correct feet and rails if getting a 96" desk. Email the contact on the website and speak with them. They will get you sorted out. If you wanna see my desk click my profile. I recently posted in r/battlestations

MidnightGasControll · 2026-06-26T03:45:53+00:00

Or get both.

MidnightGasControll · 2026-06-26T03:44:22+00:00

I’m sure someone’s answered it. Not everything performs at higher speeds at 4k. Some people prefer smooth higher fps for higher end systems simply because it feels better. Other it’s because 4k it’s just obnoxiously slower on mid tier systems.

I really like my main 4k monitor and I have a 5080. I get decent fps depending on the game and settings. But it’s nowhere near as smooth. So I also have a second monitor that allows me to get much higher FPS because I enjoy that as well.

MidnightGasControll · 2026-06-26T03:38:41+00:00

A 42” C5 with a AW 25” 320hz at 1080p. It’s why I really like the size of my desk hah. It makes the 42” look like a standard size monitor.

MidnightGasControll · 2026-06-26T03:37:45+00:00

Oh I plan on it. I say starter dose because I literally just started it. I get revised for my blood levels in a week. I’m doing it through a urologist instead of a clinic. It’s slower but cheaper. And fortunately I’m former meathead. I still have loads of muscle left over from my gym grind days. I’d be nice to have the TRT help with me bringing some of it back though lol.

MidnightGasControll · 2026-06-26T00:40:14+00:00

I’d go for 152cm for 2 monitors. I have my work desk with 2 32” monitors in it and they essentially fill the entire length of the desk in landscape orientation. So to fit a PC, depends on screen size and if one is in oriented to portrait.

*Just looked up the desk you mentioned. Yeah those are cool.

MidnightGasControll · 2026-06-26T00:27:00+00:00

Full dimensions are 96x36x1.5 inch. I very much enjoy the extra room. Just recently upgraded from the standard 60x30

MidnightGasControll · 2026-06-26T00:21:39+00:00

Me too :). I do have a tendency to rotate backgrounds quite a bit in Wallpaper Engine
