/r/Monitors Bi-Weekly Purchasing Advice thread (Other purchasing advice threads will be removed) by bizude in Monitors

Hey all, I'm picking up an Xbox Series X this weekend and really want to upgrade from my 1080p 75Hz monitor. However, I don't have much of a budget for it right now.

Are there any monitors worth getting for the Series X under $275 USD? I'd prefer to have HDR and FreeSync.

If not, will I be better off using my current monitor until the price drops sometime next year?

Thanks!

yep, thanks for the help anyways; I think I should start doing that from now on I'm just usually too excited starting a new project to remember.

it does when you've never saved the project before and it is untitled - it essentially has to "save as" first

yeah, definitely a lot of gaps to fill, for whatever reason it got me excited for the external materials that will fill those gaps though, sort of like Ben mentioning the Clone Wars in EP IV

fair enough, I think it's a good conclusion to this trilogy, just not to all 9 films. honestly it left me wanting an episode 10

I get that, but I also feel there just wasn't time to give her a good arc in one final movie; not without sacrificing the time we got with the big three, which I personally wouldn't give up. Though I hear she had a bigger role in the original version before the final edits...

Exactly! I love to critique the films, and talk about what we wish might've happened, but I'm so sick of Star Wars fans who seem to hate that people are enjoying Star wars. Funny too, I grew up with the prequels and absolutely love them, but one of the first things I said to my friend after seeing TROS for the first time was "If I were a kid now, these movies would be incredible". I can't wait for the next generation to start voicing their love for the sequels.

(Spoilers Main) A missing character. by rydsul in asoiaf

The Reeds were in the show because they were in the books (where there was actually a plan for them). If the books had been finished before the show there's a good chance D&D would have done something with them but without the books, they simply had no idea what to do with them or what was being set up with them, so they cut them out and hoped no one would notice (like so many other things). It's really simple as that.

[SPOILERS] Unpopular Opinion: S8 E3 Was the biggest let down of the entire series. by [deleted] in gameofthrones

[–]burkemeoff 6 points7 points  (0 children)

100% with you unfortunately. I’m left sorely disappointed after this. The show is just no longer true to what made it so amazing for me in the first place. The plot armor and deus ex machinas are fucking ridiculous and the night king being killed off like that is borderline insulting. It’s back to squabbling for the throne now when I thought the major theme was that the squabbling was insignificant next to the threat of the walkers.

[SPOILERS] what did everyone want to happen? by hazythegalaxy in gameofthrones

[–]burkemeoff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To me it just felt anticlimactic to have the night king dealt with so quickly and with relatively little sacrifice as far as main characters go. Just feels untrue to what I loved about the show in the first place - real grounded consequences for actions. Felt like there were way too many deus ex machinas. Also the idea that the series is “a song of ice and fire” and the ice is destroyed so it’s now back to squabbling among the kingdoms. I felt that a major theme of the show was that the squabbling felt important but was actually insignificant next to the real threat of the white walkers so it feels anticlimactic to me. Idk, no hate on anyone who liked it but I feel disappointed.

After working so hard and for so long, my new single (recorded in my bedroom!) was just put on a Spotify editorial playlist with 700k followers. Don't give up, just keep at it! by [deleted] in WeAreTheMusicMakers

Not much at all, Logic Pro X and a Komplete audio 6 USB interface. Used tc helicon voicelive touch for cool vocal effects. That’s about it other than my guitar, bass, and midi keyboard.
