How does FromSoftware release AAA games so frequently? Elden Ring boss says "we are just blessed with a great staff" that the studio empowers and retains (www.gamesradar.com)

You're the weirdo for having a weird monitor...

[โ€“] GoodEye8@lemm.ee 3 points 9 months ago

There was a time when 16:9 was also weird because 4:3 was the norm. I wouldn't call it weird, I think over the next decade it's going to become a bigger norm in PC gaming.

I was a sceptic as well but when I needed a new monitor and saw a decent UW monitor for cheap I decided to give it shot, after all if it sucks I'll just use it in 16:9. Turns out it's one of those "once you try you can't go back" things. I love it for gaming, it feels so much more immersive. So much that 16:9 feels small and constrained. It's just a superior experience in my humble opinion.

I don't think UW is a, must for games, I'm well aware how small minority UW monitors are. But having UW support increases my enjoyment of the game.
