Are the periods in the room with you right now?

Who are these "independents"? Because if they're dumb enough to float over to fascism on a whim, we need to have a talk.

Damn, you'd really think these bozos would have learned to read a room by now, you know?

Because they're underwhelming, on the whole.

The Dems won't win anything again until the party is massively restructured. Moving to the center has failed again and again and again.

You know what the other side is also doing? Moving rightward.

Tbh, I'm super into this. Especially if the range could be extended slightly or if the truck is somewhat hackable.

But then... Bezos. Ugh.

Probably never masturbate again

They'd just give such a rando some actual position after the fact to save face

I've actually seen some pushback on this in conservative comments -- but also a huge number saying things like "he's trolling".

The hypocrisy and double standards are absolutely maddening.

Sure. But the costs for implementing such a thing are certainly above simply using the tools on the platform on which the dev has decided to release their work. If they disagree, don't release it there.

This idea that the consumer should do something additional besides giving you money is a nonstarter.

Yeah the pump and dump is clear. Too bad his supporters are so slow.

And Trump surrounds himself with family members, media personalities, other grifters, and people with generational wealth.

 

Hi all, I have been PC gaming for a long time (30+ years), but specifically gaming from the couch for 10+. I'm now going to be having a nice workspace in another part of the house so I'm building a second system.

I have two main goals: I want to set up my flight sim stuff (= yoke, throttle, etc) permanently in the workspace, and I also want to play strategy titles in there, in particular ones which have text that can be a bit small on a TV from the couch. I imagine I'll still play a lot in the front room, mostly titles with full controller support, so I think it is fair to say that strategy (4X, RTS) and flight simming (X-Plane primarily) will be the focus where I need a monitor.

I was considering targeting 1440p, but 1080p is probably also fine.

Thing is, I haven't been monitor shopping in a long time. Curved screens? Ultrawides? None of that existed when I last was using a monitor.

So I wanted to ask the community here for their recommendations or ideas. Pretty open ended I guess (modulo a couple questions below) but anything would be helpful.

Not sure it matters, but the workspace system will be:

  • Ryzen 7 9700x
  • RX 7800 XT
  • running Linux (probably Pop! since I have used it for years on the other system without issue), using Proton for anything without a native binary

Are there any pitfalls with ultrawides? If a game doesn't support the resolution, do I just get bars on the side? Does Linux / Proton handle it significantly differently versus Windows?

I also did consider having the flight sim setup and more standard setup be on different desks (thus multiple screens but not next to each other). This might make sense in terms of the flight equipment but then again it might just be a good way to waste space.
