I currently have the 24G2 which is 24 inch and 1080P. It was great but it unfortunately kind of died. White lines, lagging with tougher games and such. So I was researching for a good gaming (and productivity) monitor and found the DELL G2724D. The DELL looked gorgeous compared to the old 24G2. Unfortunately though, insane amount of glow – to the point I just returned it and asked money back.

Now I’m kind of uncertain which monitor to get, I read reviews and all reviews on IPS panels have a lot of complains about the glow. I then researched about OLED, Q-OLED and kind of fell in love. Was ready to purchase one until, I was not. I found out it’s not a good match for productivity usage due to burn-in issue (Excel and Word). So kind of stuck now.

I was thinking about the ASUS ROG Strix XG27ACS or LG UltraGear 27GR83. But I have bad experience with the ASUS before (bought it and would not turn on, might be just bad luck?) and I read different opinions on the UltraGear one. I’m still on the fence for an OLED/Q-OLED but don’t want to purchase another monitor after 1-2 years of gaming and office work. Got told about Mini-LED but they seem not really available in my country.

Any recommendation, tips and such would be really appreciated!

Note: There are many communities about gaming, so was not sure in whcih to post. This one seemed to fit the most since the others were mostly posts with news articles regard gaming and technology.

I recently got a job after finishing university, all is good. However, after 5 full days of being behind desk job, I feel a bit exhausted of being behind desk.

Thus my desire to game on PC has soured immensely. Despite having a huge backlog and actually want to finish games.

I’m debating to purchase a Steam Deck OLED in the hope, I can actually play some decent games on there without getting fatigue of desk/ screens but that’s a big investment (€670-700).

So I was wondering; how do the adults of Lemmy with 5 full days of work still get the time and desire to play their games?

I’ve been heavily debating between Steam Deck OLED and Switch OLED. My initial thought was getting a Switch OLED, let someone mod it and then download games on it (I don’t care about Nintendo’s Online).

Then I got told it might be better to get Steam Deck OLED and use emulation on it for switch games.

Now I’ve been a bit of researching on both and it seems that Steam Deck runs Linux and that the emulation isn’t really as good as it is on the PC. I don’t have any knowledge on Linux either, plus most of my games are pirated (thus Steam Library isn’t really a thing for me).

Getting the Switch OLED modded going to cost me about €150 but then I’ve been reading that the games are mostly 30FPS locked and that using cheats and/ or mods is a bit of a hassle (similar thing with getting games on it through piracy).

Price wise; Steam Deck OLED going to cost me at least €680 while Switch OLED will cost me €350 (and when Switch 2 comes it might be on sale).

I was wondering what the opinions are on Piracy community here. Which one do you recommend out of the two and why, how true are the things of what I’ve been told and read?

Note; Yes, I would like to get the Switch 2 but since it’ll take a while before it can get hacked/ modded - I don’t want to get it. I refuse to pay €60-70 for each game while they’re like 7 years old.

I have noticed in some of my own comments that, I can see a heart next to it. It seems to be new (at least for me) and I was wondering how do we use it and for what is it for?

I was not sure which community to post this, so apologies in advance if this is the wrong community.

So made this account a year ago or so and would like to change the account name (not the display name).

But can’t figure out how and where. That’s why I was curious whether it is even possible or not.

Since yesterday, I keep getting update notifications. However, the updates seems to not tell what’s updated and it’s very spam-ish. Was wondering if other people have the same issue;

So I recently got into sideloading on iPhone but I have no idea where to get the (tweaked) ipas from. Not sure which site is safe and trustworthy.

I do have AltStore installed and ready though.

I just finished Alan Wake 2 and the 3 episodes of the DLCs. Alan Wake 2 is a literal masterpiece in my opinion, the gameplay was similar to its first game but refined, the story dark, mood, mysterious and weird. I also loved the references to the other games. Like Ahti. The ending of Alan Wake 2 made me wonder and sad (I won’t mention it to avoid spoilers).

The 3 DLCs made me immensely hyped up though - they were weird and like a love-letters to their fan-base of all three games. Spoiler tagged, don't open if you have not played the DLCs (you have been warned);

I was not certain how much, I could write without spoilers therefore it might be a little underwhelming or not much.

I assume they're planning a second DLC for Alan Wake and I will get that one as well. In the meantime, I will take a little break and then replay Quantum Break and Control.

I'm in need of a magical, cozy anime series that gives off an old adventure vibe with fun and comedy moments. Everything I play, watch, and read currently is so depressing, so I need something with happy moments.

If it is necessary to put my anime-list on here, let me know. It is a Excel file though. After a certain site died, I decided to do it myself.

I was not sure whether, I should post here or in another community. Apologies in advantage of this is not the right community.

Any idea how to fix this annoying message when having ''TTV LOL PRO'' extension installed on FireFox? The Twitch Adblocker seems to be detected and gives either this message or a infinite loading circle.

I forgot how weird and pretty shit Reddit is, since I have been using Lemmy most of the time.

Got iPhone issue, searched for it and got a Reddit thread on the iPhone subreddit. Great but couldn’t fix it. I made a comment something along the lines of “got the same issue, clueless what to do”.

An hour later and got banned for it on the iPhone subreddit lol. They claim, I was “ban evasion”. I double checked my accounts and I have literally never been banned on the iPhone subreddit.

So I’d have to say thanks to them to prove the fact that, I have made the right decision of leaving Reddit.

I wanted to retry Mastodon after not using my .World mastodon account for months and was wondering if there's an official DB0 Piracy mastodon server before joining any other one.

If there's not, which one do you suggest me to try out which is Piracy friendly?
