Should I buy a 240hz monitor? by Acala in c/PCGaming@kbin.social

My GPU is not able to drive anything of that sort hahaha. But the monitor was much cheaper than it used to be so I thought I'd snatch it and wait for a few months until I buy a new rig.

May I know which 4k/165hz monitor you got?

Two things this will depend on - what are your system specs, and what games do you play.

The thing is my PC has really old specs. But I saw the monitor heavily discounted so I thought I'd snatch it even if I can't really use it properly for a few months.

I'm on the market for a new monitor. Mine is a very old Asus that is a 1080p/60hz monitor.

A few days ago I used to be the occasional competitive player (just playing with friends) and while I might play a competitive game or two again, I'm wondering if I should buy the BenQ Zowie 2546K. Where I'm looking (local market), it's currently the lowest price it's ever been.

But my hesitation lies on the fact that I might have more use for a 4k/140hz monitor.

I guess I'm mostly looking for personal recommendations.

European Parliament approved rules to make portable batteries replaceable by Acala in c/tech@kbin.social

For controllers and small devices like this, they could just go with standard AA batteries like Xbox's.

I'm not sure if the manufacturer will be required to make the replacement batteries themselves. For older laptops, you could buy an external battery from a 3rd-party which worked just fine.

Persona 3 Reload confirmed to release on PlayStation and Steam by Acala in c/gaming@kbin.social

I'm thinking it was due to the fact it was revealed during Xbox Showcase.

Can we make a habit around here to post directly the tweet/comment/article instead of posting a screenshot to it (kbin.social)

I'm sorry to post this here, this might be the wrong place so please redirect me to a more appropriate magazine.

On Reddit (LinkedIn is even worse if I'm being honest) you would constantly see screenshot of tweets but never a link to the tweet themselves.

kbin would probably save a lot of bandwidth doing this, and it'd make the experience much more pleasant for those who want to follow the object of the screenshot's discussion.
