I've almost decided to get a 1440p gsync panel, but seeing that korean 1440s are $120-150 is swaying me towards one. I really want a third monitor that I can run in portrait, and it's pissing me off that I cant find a matching crossover 1440

You still have those CrossOvers?
What I dont like about monitors are the anti-glare matte displays. Can not stand that junk.
THose are from 2012 I believe. Not sure you will find some even on eBay.

Sure do, I love them. I may get a gsync 1440 for my center monitor and put the other two as my side two, or get a cheap korean to run as my portrait monitor. There are still some koreans on ebay from that era

Yeah they are decent monitors.
I suggest 32"+ for the central monitor.

Nothing exciting. Was on a titanfall 2 run for the last 6 months. I started Dishonored 2 back in April, barely did anything in it before putting it down when I started my new job. I still only play games in short bursts, so involved story games take me a while to get into. At my old job, I could fire up a game during down time or stay up really late and just sleep a little later. Not much down time at the new job, and I have to maintain a consistent sleep schedule (the benefit being no all-nighters or long/odd hours during busy times, either).
I bought Xenoverse 2 yesterday. Missed that one because it was released while I was rebuilding my house.
I also started using the beta Steam Link app on my Samsung TV this week, and I'm surprised at how well it works without needing to buy the Steam Link hardware. I picked up a wireless XBox controller and can now play Xenoverse 2 in bed on my 4K Samsung. It works extremely well even using my TV's onboard WiFi, but I'm sure I'll need Cat6 for more demanding games. This will actually motivate me to get better at using a controller. Fine with driving and fighting games, but can't aim for shite any time shooting is required (FPS, and third-person like GTA). Then I'll try to give Dishonored 2 a shot with the controller.

I have three fortnite founder codes, the first three people I know that ask for them here can have them.

Man I love all-nighters. But you are 100% right, once you get to a certain point in life and have to maintain good sleep patterns those get shorter and shorter.

How do you like it? Its a mixed bag for me. I like the MMO part a little but fighting is not that fun IMO.

Wait so Valve has a Steam App for streaming games? That is awesome. It doesn't take much processing power to decode, its encoding that takes some horses.
I am a little concern about this though since they already have a hard time syncing up audio and latency issues on a box they have full control over.

Sit closer than I do? You saw my desk and chair arrangement if you remember it any.
I thought it would be too big, but I really enjoy it now.

Heard GiantBombcast talk about this game but know nothing about it.
I'll send you some cards.
Trace-Coyote on Steam.

I thought 27 inch would be too big, but I think it's my sweet spot based on distance from the screen, I occasionally find myself search around the screen but nothing major, no way I want to go any bigger.

I enjoy them too actually. I enjoy the peacefulness and lack of distractions, and the sense of accomplishment when it's over, plus being able to go to sleep in the morning while everyone else works. I used to love doing it particularly for my old company, because the effort meant something. But the older I get, the longer it takes to recover, and the long hours were getting too frequent with no overtime pay. The culture and morale changed a great deal over the 9 years I worked there, especially after my original boss left in 2016.

Same as Xenoverse 1, seems to be an exact copy of it with new characters from Super. And I figure, same as the first game, I'll get my $20 worth of fun and be done with it.

It's a fairly new app, only available on Samsung smart TVs as far as I know, and I'm not sure if all of them have it/perform the same. As I said, it seems to work really well once setup, but I haven't tested more than a couple of games (Witcher 3 and Xenoverse). The app supposedly only supports steam controllers at the moment, but I have had no issues with my wireless Xbox 360 controller.

Yes. This is why 2-3am is my favorite time of the night. Everything settles down and I can truly relax.

XV2 is my first experience with the series. Its okay, playable and fun but won't keep me sucked in.

You hardwired your house post flood right? That is the only MUST I found with the Steam Link.
Really cool they are pushing this on Smart TVs.
