There’s a reason I’m still using a seven year old monitor thats half broken and artifacts in the cold, lol. Hence why I’m looking forward to price reductions.

I only have one hobby and thats PC gaming and a bit of scripting. I don’t sub to services, I don’t have needless bills. It is what it is. :(

Honestly, that’s what I’m currently doing. I’ve always chuckled at the cleverness of the name sh.itjust.works. I started on .world, but I forgot to migrate my 2fa because I switched from Google Authenticator to an open source one on a new phone and didn’t take my lemmy token for some damn reason.

I’m only switching because I’m a neutral entity online when it comes to politics and identity. I use the internet to escape that, not dive into it. I don’t mind seeing it, I just move along and let people be people. I’d rather not be potentially tied to an image or faction by association; its nothing against .ml or anything.

Honestly it depends on the price of these new models. I live check by check so buying 5x monitors over the years would be easier than paying a larger sum for a better one.

If I can afford these new ones I’ll most likely go with those, but judging by the prices of the latest and greatest right now, I doubt I will be able to.

I like this view, because I have zero idea what I just walked in on. This account is just 16 days old and I’m just here to chat non-politics and doomscroll. And by 16 days old I mean like 4 because their acceptance email got sent to spam and I didn’t notice it until then.

Tbh, I had no idea there were even factions or drama among the instances.

I think the most exciting part of this for me is the possible reduction in price for last gen OLED monitors.

You don’t really know it until you stop watching videos for like a week. Suddenly you want to do your favorite things again; try things yourself again.

I used to play Star Wars 4th Edition Pen and Paper RPG with a 40 year old and his 32 year old wife when I was 16. They were just harmless geeks, like me.

If anything, my mom making snarky comments about the 40 year old guy really soured our relationship for a while. My friend who was my age and who also played with us sent her a picture in the mail of the 3 of us holding hands under a rainbow. She was pissed.

It’s fine. Your son could just as easily be friends with someone his age that’s a psychopath. It’s in the person, not the age. At 18 you’re going to have to trust his judgement a little more.
