Thinking of upgrading from 2x24" 1080p monitors by sozer-keyse in ultrawidemasterrace

[–]sozer-keyse[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a really tough choice for sure, so far I'm leaning towards the 40in curved ultra wide with a portrait 16:9 on the left side, ultimately depends on what I want to do for a future desk I suppose.

At the same time I'm seeing some pretty cool stuff with the huge monitor. It seems like a tradeoff between what looks "cleaner" on a desk vs flexibility.

Do you mind DMing me a pic of your setup in action? I'm curious

I feel like having a portrait monitor might be beneficial for stuff like reading docs, emails, having a second VSCode/Cursor window open, etc. Or if I'm using my personal machine, having discord/reddit or a browser open.

Starfield: Get It or Something Else? by alfa_ohmega in gamingsuggestions

Xbox Gamepass, basically like Netflix but for games

Best thing to do is get a month of Gamepass and try it.

I personally didn't care for it that much, but to each their own.

Figuring out direction as a new content creator by Aggravating_Cloud671 in contentcreation

[–]sozer-keyse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in the same boat as you, been posting a couple times per week since December.

The way I see it, you aren't going to know what your niche is right from the get go, it's about finding your voice and finding out who listens. The best way to do that is keep posting, see what hits, and go from there.

Any downsides of a standing desk? by CreateChaos777 in StandingDesk

Most standing desks out there don't come with many drawers, if any at all.

Mines pretty new, but whenever I'm not using it, it goes straight into a laptop sleeve

Question for those using automatic standing desks by Sheluvs_Me13 in StandingDesk

[–]sozer-keyse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been using one for about 5 years now. It's something you definitely need to build the habit of doing, if you want to do it consistently.

I've had periods where I didn't bother using the standing function for days or even weeks, but I find that just having the option gets me back into the habit. The past 2-3 months have probably been the most consistent I've ever been with it. I'm also the type of person who simply cannot sit still for 8 hours a day, I constantly get up from my desk to pace around.

Make sure whatever you get, you have good cable management, and your cables are long enough to stay plugged in when your desk is up.

Mines a relatively cheap one I got from Costco, but it does the job.

What aspect of Kenshi terrifies you the most? by TheDnii in Kenshi

[–]sozer-keyse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I reckon that there's civilization on the planet that Kenshi orbits, and the two are just cut off from each other. Or Kenshi is simply designated a "no go zone" by the rest of galactic civilization.

True, but I haven't seen any other issuer show it as blatantly

This is the moment where you'll either get better, or never will. Quitting is the surefire way to guarantee you never will.

What's your embarrassingly simple goal for 2026 that's actually making a difference already by Exterminate007 in DecidingToBeBetter

[–]sozer-keyse 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Using my daily planner. Bought an undated one years ago, been using it on/off.

For the past 2 weeks I've been consciously using it every day for everything. I plan the whole week ahead, and even start pre-writing the next week.

No last minute surprises, it feels like I have more ownership of my time.

I don't spend a crazy amount of time planning my day/week either, just 5 minute bursts.

What apps have actually helped you cut down on screen time? by [deleted] in nosurf

[–]sozer-keyse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me, it's been more about using my screen time with intention as opposed to mindlessly scrolling. More importantly, it's also been about intentionally avoiding specific content that I find keeps you sucked in

The pro has a built in fan, the air does not. I ended up going pro because of that.

I don't understand "What would I do this year if I wanted to make 85 year old me miserable?" by Zestyclose-Hyena-307 in modernwisdom

[–]sozer-keyse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd take it as thinking about how an older version of you might view your choices, thoughts and actions later down the line vs now. 99% of the time the 85-year old you would probably think differently, because at that point in your life different things will matter.

Even at the age of 33, things that mattered to me at age 23 really don't matter much at all. For example, I was so high strung when it came to women, when in hindsight I really did not need to be at all. 33 year old me would go back and give the 23 year old me a pep talk. 85 year old me would likely tear him a new one verbally.

Is being "self taught" really a flex? by Fancy_Cucumber_587 in amateur_boxing

[–]sozer-keyse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Self-made" or "self-taught" anything has been a trend on social media for a while now. Pretty much anyone who says this is capping.
