Week is starting off okay, I think. Had a nice massage, gamed a bunch, and I've setup my new monitor. As reported by others online, there are some gray banding issues, particularly visible on flat monochrome dark gray backgrounds, but nothing I can't look past I think. The bigger issue is the aspect ratio, but eh, I had to go for a 16:9 at some point anyways, I've held out as long as I could. Doing things in general at 240/280hz is definitely an experience, but the real question was whether it would make my 60hz content feel any different and the answer is a resounding yes! Not only is the response time much better (supports VRR too...) but I've managed to get all the settings working to have CRT "beam racing" simulation shaders which, through some optical magick, simulate the visual response of a CRT using the extra "subframes". It's quite an interesting thing to see in motion, playing LTTP or even SM with the uncanny CRT smoothness. "Smoother than 60FPS" is certainly a weird idea, but vision persistence and motion tracking is more complicated than "meets the eye", so to speak. I've got some Rhythm Quest and drawing work to do this week, plus one or two errands, but the rest of the week should ideally just be focused on time for me. Lord knows I need it after how I was feeling last week. I've got plenty of games to go at, if and when I feel inclined. Actually been enjoying Overwatch a fair bit, but besides that, there's Echoes of Morroc, which I may or may not continue to try and narrate my play through, and then trying more crosskeys seeds in ALTTPR. God willing, maybe I'll try to start feeling more optimistic about life in a more general sense, but let's start one step at a time...
