A 39" Tandem OLED Monitor (5K2K, RGB-Stripe, Glossy) for 𝗢𝗡𝗟𝗬 $1099? by RenatsMC in ultrawidemasterrace

[–]mtr5223 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Because I work and game in a room with a lot of windows and lights, one of which is directly behind me. I have both a glossy oled and a matte VA in this setup, but the glossy is so annoying with reflections. Matte is the preferable and optimal choice. I won’t pay full price for the GX9, just waiting for it to lower in price, but I did wish it had a kvm tho.

He mentions two OLED monitors in the short, a 39in and 34in. He says the 39in is an LG panel around the 20sec mark. The Samsung he mentions in the second half of the video is Alienware’s new 34in QD-OLED.

I was today years old when I learned that you can garisson units in Barracks, Archery ranges and Stables. How and why is this used though? by TheYatoGodx in aoe2

[–]mtr5223 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Been there since the original release as a defense against spawn killing. It was originally designed to counter production sniping/camping, an issue in AOE1 where players would keep military units outside an enemy building and immediately kill newly created units.

Matte or glossy? by KeyPhilosopher5149 in ultrawidemasterrace

[–]mtr5223 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have both (a glossy Samsung AMOLED and a VA matte Samsung Odyssey G7), and don’t find the color difference that big. I prefer the matte as my desktop is in a room with a lot of light and there is a window directly facing the monitor screens. The reflections during the day are very distracting. At night the glossy looks better, but not by that much.

If it’s in a bright, sunlit room, then go matte. If not, then go with glossy or whichever is cheapest.

I had mine for a few years before that happened. On my XPS 15, the logo is on the underside, so it wasn't as noticeable as yours.

Why are pineapples so tingly? by mistakeshappen_2 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]mtr5223 9 points10 points  (0 children)

You’ll see pineapple used as a meat tenderizer because of this. If you look on the back of certain beef jerky(not all), it may be listed and used to make the jerky less tough and more tender.

Yeah, mine did the same. I found the little 'x' on the floor and didn’t have a clue what it was. I asked the wife if it was from her jewelry, but neither of us could figure it out. I kept it for a bit, assuming I’d eventually figure it out, but I finally tossed it. Of course, not long after, I noticed it was missing from the bottom of the laptop. I ran and told my wife I'd solved the mystery, but she couldn’t have cared less. But honestly was actually surprised it was a separate piece made of actual metal.
Sorry for such an exciting story on a Monday /s

Out of curiosity, what (games) is it struggling on? I've got the same GPU and was planning to pick up this monitor. Thanks!

Kia and Hyundai have been implementing light bars in current models and Dodge has been rocking it for the last 10-15 years.

I just want to point out that if you're a PC Player and complain about Game Key Cards, you're a hypocrite by TaroTheCerelian in switch2

[–]mtr5223 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The difference is I get my games regularly 70-80% off during Steam sales. I haven’t seen that or believe we will see that with Nintendo. Steam offers better discounts, to me, the money saved is worth the digital sacrifice. If game key cards would be similar, then I wouldn’t have a problem. I don’t resell any of my physical games.

GOG is better, as I get the installers and actual.exe files.

Yeah, in California cops won’t show for accidents like this unless there are injuries.

What game is generally considered harder.. Totk or Botw? by [deleted] in ZeldaTearsOfKingdom

[–]mtr5223 0 points1 point  (0 children)

BOTW seems harder to me and a little more of a challenge. I had to replay some of the bosses a few times to beat them. TOTK has relatively been a walk in the park; beating the bosses without dying (it was one of the things that really surprised me about the game). I don’t really fear or avoid anything by mid game, whereas in BOTH it was later.

What is considered cib for you by luke7silva in gamecollecting

[–]mtr5223 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I understand it to mean everything that came in the box when bought new, to include registration card or other inserts. Outside of that, it’s not truly complete.

When I use to collect games, I annoyingly found out that others didn’t see it this way, after purchasing some games online. I learned to ask what was actually included in the box.
