As a German I hate to break it to you Germany, but didn’t you kill your advanced clean technology more than ten years ago for fucking coal? And everybody said it would be a fatal mistake, we would be left behind?

I’m a surprised Pikachu.

For me it was the other way around. FMA had the better story with a drift at the end into the twilight zone, while FMAB drifted into a generic action show. I never understood the hype.

One good thing that came out of this mess was that I discovered Gamer’s Nexus, information packed and down to earth. I’d rather have 20 minutes of information than 5 minutes plus 15 minutes showmanship.

This is exactly what I’m doing. Games still look great, they run great, and chances are there are a bunch of quality of life mod improvements.

Days gone released on gog not long ago, the first thing I got was the mod for silencers, what a bullshit idea to only use it for five shots and then it’s gone.

And I forgot: I never buy a GaaS! They will shut down The Crew soon, a game I play on a regular basis and one of the most relaxing titles ever made. I don’t care how great a game might be, you won’t get any money out of me ever again dear companies.

So you only buy a license? Like on Steam, Epic, and all the others? Shocking.

I think modern gamers are comfortable with this, they just haven’t realised it yet.

Or they buy on gog. Then they really have ownership.

Thank you for the edit, I was really starting to be confused. And kudos to keeping it up and clarifying, I wish there were more people like you!

Yes, the amount of both stacks is infinity. The question was not “What stack is easier to pay for something with”.

It’s funny. Before this crackdown none of my co-workers used adblockers. To install an add-on was too much hassle. They just watched the ads.

Now suddenly they became interested after hearing about them again, and almost all are running Firefox with ublock origin now.

YouTube should have just kept quiet, I don’t believe they are better off now more than before.

In Germany the streets are far too often a fight for survival. I miss the Netherlands, driving there, bike or car, was so much more relaxing.

But, you know, Germans and their cars…

Rich Evans is the best!

The monitor is working, like I said there is a difference to 60 Hz, it’s just not that big of a deal as I was expecting it to be. I don’t feel missing out when playing on my old 60 Hz. When I run the UFO test it’s visible it’s working, and the games I usually play reach high frame rates. I used the cable that came with the monitor and got a new one (primarily because the original cable was a bit too short), it’s on me.

But don’t get me wrong. The workspace alone was worth the upgrade, so I’m not depressed or something like that. And I have fun playing my games, and that’s what matters.

Thank you for your tips, I really appreciate it!!!

It’s the Gigabyte M32U. It’s a good monitor, like I said it’s just me, some people just seem to not profit from it. It is a bit better than 60 Hz, but it’s not the big difference to me compared to 60.

I followed and tried many things from here: https://pcmonitors.info/reviews/gigabyte-m32u/, including overdrive. I bought a new cable, tinkered with the settings, both monitor and driver, it’s just me :) maybe it has to do with age!

Yes, everything is configured correctly, but thank you, I too read often that people forget that, so it was the first thing after connecting the monitor I checked.

Yes, yes and yes :) But thank you, I’ve seen enough posts where people forgot it, so this suggestion definitely was worth mentioning!

Yes, many do. I’m just one of the unlucky ones. But at least I can see the difference between 1080p and 4k. It’s the little things in life…

I must admit, when I got my 144hz monitor I was excited, coming from a 60hz monitor. But even if a game runs at 144 fps I don’t see much of a difference, many people do, but I don’t. It’s a bit smoother, but not much.

But if a game runs at 30 fps it’s horrible. The Crew, for example, can be switched to 30 or 60 fps, that’s night and day!

Oh, I saw it in cinemas and had totally forgotten about it. I remember liking it, is it really that bad?

What movie was it?

“This belongs in a forgotten cave buried deep in the Amazonian rainforest!”

Maybe, but it draws 280 watts instead of 200. That’s just too much, at least for me.
