The Lounge 0001 [From the Beginning]

i mean my 24" HP Z24S was $250 iirc a year ago. i bought mine then. 24" is a bit small for 4k but it’s IPS, and it’s baller for gaming and videos and such. kindof hard to read text in windows though unless it’s at like 200% or whatever which kindof defeats the point of 4k lol.
still, is really nice for games (if you can run them at 4k, so far the only thing my 580 can do at 4k well is Warthunder because reasons).

may or may not be slightly buzzed so that’s a thing lol.
i just got up 5 hours ago -___-
rotating shifts are annoying.

4 k monitors have come down a lot. I’ll probably get one when I upgrade my graphic card in two years.

Welp I broke the front fan on my CPU cooler. Was cleaning it with blower and one of the blades hit the 24 pin wire when it was going high speed :frowning:

It’s going to be a busy Saturday. Working on writing later today. I’ll also be working on organizing a few things.

Going to Microcenter to get an HDMI cable. Also going to look at monitors while I am there.

Microcenter had no price on the monitors… That’s just lazy.

Are they doing the “if you have to ask for the price, you probably can’t afford it anyway” snobbish shit like in some “classy” restaurants?

Nah. They have the thing to put the price tag in they just haven’t.

Warframe: Wisp Farming… I only need one more. Soon.


On a different note what you guys think of curved 21:9 monitors?

Never seen one irl myself, and while a curve on a format like that might make sense, I prefer non-curved monitors.

My brother has a 21:9 curved monitor, I do like that aspect ratio and it does look very good and for gaming its great but general desktop and productivity type usage I’m not a huge fan of it as the curve is a little off putting but maybe if I spent more time with it my mind would change.

Curved only makes sense on 30+ inch monitors imo, where you actually do lose color and stuff on the corners because of the size of the monitor. Some or the 21:9 49" and such that are curved are really good, I personally dont understand the point of smaller curved ones though.

(I saw a ton of different ones at Quakecon and etc so.)

Watching the whole of The Big Lebowski for the first time (seen scenes before but never the whole movie).
Was thinking about buying it on Bluray but some comments on “av enthusiast” forums considered the video quality not good (plasticy looking faces, which I would be bothered by too). But Amazon has it on Prime to watch, so I’m using that. Still kinda want the movie in my collection, though.

I didn’t get that last whisp in Warframe yet. I should find at least one today.

Stopped watching The Big Lebowski with ~30min left yesterday and ordered the Bluray.

but…my hdds are getting a bit full (~600gb left on my 3tb drives), so maybe I should plan on buying a new 4tb one next month or so.

expanding your hdd collection, how many drives would that be now? Also Is that 600GB per 3tb drive or total? that still seems like a fair bit to me.

The anime is now 1080p and takes up ~double the space per episode as compared to 720p, which is noticeable. They initially go to the first anime drive but eventually get put into folders and moved over to the other anime drive (unwatched).

Wow thats a lot of storage, looking at it though you have around 7TBs of free space across all the drives which is a still way more than I have in total, to me seems a little wasteful organizing them across drives for different things and instead would prefer a pool of networked storage but thats just me.

Yes, but expensive.

Nah, I want to keep things separate so when one drive dies I know exactly what’s missing. Same with raid.

A NAS with just JBOD would be enough for me.
