!gaming is a community for gaming noobs through gaming aficionados. Unlike !games, we don’t take ourselves quite as serious. Shitposts and memes are welcome.
Our Rules:
1. Keep it civil.
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only.
2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry.
I should not need to explain this one.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month.
Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

And the right is way better. Minus the color thing.
If I wanted a menu simulator, I'd play an RTS or MMO.
Bonus points when left still displays everything in the same number of pixels on your 4k screen as it did on a 480 CRT.
4K monitors are a bad idea. Beyond half a million pixels, there are diminishing returns, new video games don't look that much better and it makes older games look worse. By the time you get to 8 million pixels, only eagles and fighter pilots might sorta notice a difference.
I noticed this trend when I went from 800x600 to 1024x768 to 1080p. I ain't touching 4K. It'll just ruin your life.
I respect your opinion, but 1080p upscales better on a 4k monitor than a 2k (1440p) one.
