  • Back when native resolution was 4:3 it made more sense to have them side by side, but 16:9 it just makes more sense to have them vertically stacked.

    Also, my setup is a 50" 4k TV for the top screen and a 43" 1080p for the bottom, I’d have to look sooo faaar over to see the other screen that I honestly don’t have the wall space in my room for it. I am generally reclined on a couch while using it, my head resting is centered on the upper screen with either a reference of whatever I’m working on the lower, though usually it will be a twitch stream I’m tangentially interested in but only need to take a look at it on occasion if I head something interesting happening.


  • Mostly random indie titles, such as nova drift, rollscape, and peglin.

    Nova drift and peglin both recently came out of early access, both are rogue lite games that offer unique scenarios each time you play, one is a top down shmup with loads of customizations and interesting builds to try out, the other being a bit of a deck builder with interesting setups to keep the ball bouncing.

    Rollscape is a relaxing random number generator with some decision making guesses along to the way to attempt to get further. It’s way too random to be truly skill based, but knowing more of the game does diminish a bit of the random.

    On mobile it has been egg, inc. and idle cave miner.

    Egg, inc. used to be a very player friendly idle incremental game that offered years of play time in a very relaxed setting. It didn’t require spending money on it unless you really wanted to speed things up… Until a bit ago when they took away one mission a week, which was the catch up mission players kind of need to progress and locked it behind a subscription service. I’m still playing because as much as I don’t appreciate that change, I’ve been playing long enough that I don’t need the catch up mission. I still don’t suggest it for new players though.

    Idle Cave Miner is a basic incremental idle game, you set your little dudes to mine a cave and see how deep they can get. It does have a bunch of micro transactions, including premium characters that probably mine harder than the rest. I don’t really care about that though. Spending money really isn’t needed on this one, but since it’s a single dev and I’d rather not deal with ads, I’m happy to toss a few bucks to remove those and help out.

    Otherwise, I’ve been enjoying helldivers 2 every couple days to keep the medals rolling in, and the samples collected. The latest patch has been quite game changing. It’s nice to have more options to handle the opponents, but I finally had to change armors as my paper thin light armor wasn’t doing the job it had been from previous versions of the game










  • I tried to split my list genres so there’d be a bit of everything, but I definitely agree with most of yours. My only gripe is trigun.

    I understand how they took the source material and completely warped it to attempt to fit a new story and give it a whole new life of its own, and minute to minute the show is fine, it’s when you look at the whole story being told at once that things start falling apart and giant plot holes start showing up. Particularly in the first half of the season. The makers wanted a spectacle more than anything else and they delivered on that.
