I game on lower resolution because a lot of modern games are too hyper detailed for me and I get lost in the crisp information density. That and I hate the sound of computer fans

I get lost in the crisp information density.

Man you're gonna hate this thing called the real world. I hear the pixels are mere nanometers across

That's the crisp part. A lot of modern games seem to be obsessed with making every single pixel pop out at you. Rummaging around outside is not like that it's softer. A real world comparison would be something like malls which are obsessed with making every inch of visible space distinctly pop. I also hate being in malls

Oh like too saturated and colorful. Yeah I get that

I've been replaying FFXIV recently and I had the game running at the maximum refresh rate of my monitor and it was making the fans run harder. it took me way too long to realise that I should just go a setting down for refresh rate instead of altering fan speeds.

  • Buying Noctua NH-D15 because it keeps the CPU the coolest
  • Buying 360mm AIO because it is the most silent
