Yup. Black Friday and Amazon’s Prime Day are complete bullshit. I found out early when I saw a monitor I was tracking raise in price drastically then ‘drop’ to a sale price for Black Friday. When people wisened up to that companies started playing the ‘model number’ game, where they release the same TV or device but with a different model number to specifically skew prices and act like you’re getting a deal. It’s probably one of the best examples of late stage capitalism I’ve seen.

Honestly this is one of the ones I’m most sick of. Yes, everyone can do their part, but we aren’t even close to scraping the surface of the massive amounts of CO2 corpos are dumping comparatively.

Right. But we need to at least hold companies accountable and get them moving in the right direction. Currently they don’t give a shit. Single use plastics are ridiculous right now, at least in the US. Unnecessary and can easily be replaced or simply not used.

How about just find a way to properly dispose of it and move on to something better / more reusable? Plastics are bad on several levels, the most horrifying in recent memory being micro plastics literally invading every part of our bodies.

I have Dwarf Fortress on my wishlist and while it’s cheap to pick up…yeah that looks like X4 levels of complexity but in 2d. Not sure if I’ll ever be ready for that, haha.

Do you have recommendations on brands or general pricing info?

Christ this comment chain is perfect lmfao

I do ‘light’ software development for a SAAS. I use a single ultra wide. It has PiP settings so I can display my personal if I’d like while working, or have everything displayed on the work side as a triple window or dual window setup. The flexibility is great but overall ultra wides are still niche and a general pain in the ass. Good luck getting any game to run more than 90fps when you’re pushing a 5k resolution and 240 refresh.
