We just had a vote for government officials along the EP vote. Less than 60% turned up which means the most common vote was a vote for nothing. The average voter doesn't care.
It's okay. I played Borderlands 3 with voices off, only sfx/background sounds/music. I'm sure I can do the same with this. Maybe turn picture off too while I'm at it.
I recently switched over my ARR stack to only use usenet. Working well now but you really need a good indexer. The public ones are just not quite good enough.
This has to be the funniest PR disaster in video game history. "Guy did not forsee players getting mad for locking a gamemode behind a $250 edition, doubles down on it and tells people to chill out"

I'm in the market for a new monitor and I wanted to get a ultrawide, I almost exclusively play videogames on my PC. I found some good candidates, but because of price I'm heavily leaning towards a flat panel instead of a curved one, namely AOC U34G3X....
I think you have to decide on a panel type first. For mid-range you can get IPS or VA panels. VA generally hs nicer colours and better contrast but can have black level smearing.
I really wanted to avoid black level smearing so I went for a flat panel one as this was the only ips I could find in my price range. For high end there are some good VA panels with very low/not noticeable smearing.
This is probably a more important difference than flat vs curved.
