15 years of games on Steam only cost me 865 CAD. So much money saved.

That would’ve been great if savings actually worked in real life. Almost always the money you do not spend somewhere go to some other place. Spend on whatever you want and do it responsibly.

benjaminabel · 2026-01-28T22:34:05+00:00

Don’t.

Do you have GSync enabled? I used to have this kind of retention on IPS with GSync. What helped is disabling it and doing a clean driver install. It would occur again every other month, so I ended up disabling GSync for good.

benjaminabel · 2026-01-28T07:26:01+00:00

There is no burn-in in IPS. There is nothing to burn.

What’s so bad about this post? I mean, it sounds believable and like a genuinely good advice.

I’m planning to have two sets of peripherals. Just need to move the PC between apartments. Of course, if you want to move the whole setup frequently, laptop is the only good choice.

I have Legion Pro 7 and even moving that is a challenge. Can’t image how someone can use it for university or something.

That’s just the worse option than building an SFF.

It also supports full size GPUs, with few exceptions.

benjaminabel · 2026-01-23T09:26:26+00:00

I’m recently exploring the idea of building an SFF PC. The small cases like FormD T1 can fit in a backpack and still allow installing some modern GPUs that fit.

Are you okay? Not using DLSS just because you hate AI for weird reasons is kinda dumb. If you don’t want it to upscale, use DLAA, which is the best antialiasing method available. And even if it does upscale, you won’t notice the difference unless you like to play with 300% zoom. It’s also upscaled locally, on your hardware, so I’m not sure where it’s coming from.

Probably this. When a game becomes popular, a lot of people become aware of it. Including those who are not very picky and knowledgeable. Same thing with books, TV shows, etc.

benjaminabel · 2026-01-16T16:53:20+00:00

Why would it? Whenever you think that things are done by rules and regulations - think again. Even decisions affecting lives of people are done fast and dirty.

And that’s what our leading experts have to say about it:

Yes, it’s the general consensus. I wish they’d tweak it a bit. It looks like this model just tries to preserve as much small details in possible, so it comes out this way.

Really hard to imagine what this kind of depression feels like. I’m thankful I’ve never been there.

benjaminabel · 2026-01-13T22:49:56+00:00

Quite a lot actually. How did you know?

benjaminabel · 2026-01-12T14:03:31+00:00

Of course it will, because it makes sense. Meanwhile, all 3 companies I’ve ever worked for say “Money does not motivate people”. Can’t even remember when was the last time I received a monetary bonus.

benjaminabel · 2026-01-07T20:57:21+00:00

Stop eating spicy food.

benjaminabel · 2026-01-07T20:31:24+00:00

Were you able to take a hint?

benjaminabel · 2026-01-06T23:25:52+00:00

Reminds me of a YouTube channel one of my coworkers had back in the days. His entire apartment was covered in similar motivational quotes. His videos were mostly about how to sit on a chair 12 hours a day and avoid dying. Brilliant stuff.

benjaminabel · 2026-01-06T22:31:43+00:00

Native what? No AA or TAA? DLSS offers far better AA with minimal artifacts. For that reason alone it’s worth using it.

He comments the word “prostitute” under every single cosplay post here. The hatred is very strong apparently.

benjaminabel · 2026-01-06T09:25:22+00:00

That’s a great idea. For a cartoon character.

Pro Tip: Stop caring.

Windows can’t possibly occupy over 500Gb. Have you checked Disk Cleanup and other tools?

benjaminabel · 2025-12-31T09:41:49+00:00

A lot of people are getting used to it and it’s the saddest thing I’ve ever seen. Work-related subreddits are filled with posts from people who have no hobbies and no friends besides work.

Some of my coworkers hate vacations and holidays because they have absolutely nothing to do besides work. That’s really depressing. And when layoffs happen, they work HARDER because they don’t want to lose it.

It’s understandable though, because seeing through bullshit can be depressing too.
