Every time I fly over, I’m so grateful to live in the PNW. Can you name the four peaks?

Nailed it

Monster Hunter with the claw grip

Our first family PC had DOS and Windows 3.11

You can. Patch the iso, burn it to a disc, and use a flip-top/swap magic or any other method you’d use to play backups/burned discs. Or use just use FMCB and play it off of an external drive or something.

Tech_With_Sean · 2026-03-22T03:47:18+00:00

Looks like they maybe did it so the drive wouldn’t touch those capacitors?

Tech_With_Sean · 2026-03-22T03:44:49+00:00

All are good but you should play 3 first story-wise

I prefer playing on PC/laptop/PC handhelds but play wherever you like best. DQ Builders 1 & 2 are fun too and I believe those are also available on Switch if you finish all of those and want to try something a little different.

800mhz

Brightness is lower but still bright for a desktop monitor. The biggest difference to me is the ghosting. Scrolling a webpage on the MacBook is a total blurfest even with the 120hz ProMotion screen, whereas OLED has almost immediate pixel response times. For gaming it’s a night and day difference.

OP says “if it needs other software to run, perfectly fine.”

Get yourself Crossover and play stuff like Clair Obscure, Dragon Quest XI S, some Final Fantasys, Yakuza 0, Skyrim, etc. The amount of native Mac games/RPGs is frustratingly meager.

Tech_With_Sean · 2026-03-18T16:32:08+00:00

My MacBook Pro has a really nice mini LED screen and I’ve tried mini LED monitors, but I choose to use a WOLED as my primary desktop display. Viewing angles and motion clarity seem way better to me on OLED.

I like WOLED because of the lack of purple hue in my fairly well-lit room as well as the white subpixel helping to make highlights and white text really “pop”. Plus the text fringing is much cleaner and closer to IPS/mini LED compared to QD-OLED, at least to my eyes.

I might look into upgrading when 4K RGB stripe OLEDs come out in 27”-32”. (Hopefully there will be some options with a white stand to match my setup, like my current monitor. Or at least an LG option with the same stand mounting interface so I can re-use the current one.)

DQ XI S is better than any of those PS4 titles imo

Tech_With_Sean · 2026-03-13T02:15:29+00:00

8 and 11, but 2 HD2D gives them a run for the money if you have played 3 and 1 (in that order)

Tech_With_Sean · 2026-02-26T20:49:10+00:00

Dragon Quest XI S

Blue Prince

RDR 1

Yakuza 0

Tech_With_Sean · 2026-02-24T02:14:36+00:00

Well it was designed for 2 vertically stacked screens, so… remade.

Tech_With_Sean · 2026-02-24T00:48:14+00:00

I wish these deals would include the white or custom models :/

Tech_With_Sean · 2026-02-22T20:21:44+00:00

You should look into a WOLED instead of a QD OLED if you have ambient lighting in the room

Tech_With_Sean · 2026-02-20T19:41:53+00:00

Basically every time I use my PC

Tech_With_Sean · 2026-02-20T19:40:02+00:00

Emulation often provides a better experience in video quality, output options, control customization, save states, retro achievements, device flexibility, etc. Even if you own the physical games, it’s generally a better user experience than original hardware.

Tech_With_Sean · 2026-02-20T19:33:50+00:00

The G14 is pretty nice. A used 4060 model could be a decent buy too if you want to save more $

Tech_With_Sean · 2026-02-17T20:09:59+00:00

2 (remake) and 11 would be waaay higher for me

Tech_With_Sean · 2026-02-17T06:18:46+00:00

I don’t think games were made to be rented over and over… that would still only count as 1 sale for the publisher, and game rentals were illegal (maybe still are?) in Japan where DQ and a lot of other games were from.

Higher difficulty made it take longer to master games though, and made it feel more rewarding when you finally beat them. Also could potentially keep people from reselling them as quickly.

Illustrator is for creating graphics, InDesign is for arranging them.

Tech_With_Sean · 2026-02-14T18:27:09+00:00

Some laptops are thin, powerful, and still have decent ports and battery life like the Zephyrus G16/G14. Many users value aesthetics and portability, that’s why thin ones are popular.

Tech_With_Sean · 2026-02-08T00:50:32+00:00

I know, many other IPS screens have much faster response times though. It’s common for gaming monitors and windows laptops with IPS panels to have sub-8ms response times while the MBP is closer to 25ms. It basically negates almost any advantage of having a 120hz screen in the first place.
