    Gaming and general purpose monitors

    The glossy screen+low-reflective coating on this Samsung makes every other monitor I've ever used look like dogshit by comparison. What small issues the display had were fixed with firmware updates. It comes with good speakers built in, as good as a low-end Samsung TV, in case you ever want to...

    Is it though? Or is it something that has been conditioned into us by the tech+media apparatus? I remember when the internet was just a bunch of cute pet pictures, video games, and porn.

    Is it that wild? It was the culmination of 22 movies over 13 years, plus tons of other tie-in stuff, plus decades and decades of comics to draw material from. It was one of the best branded events of all time. Barbie is also a pillar of branding going back 64 years.

    Yeah I got at least 150 hours of fun out of it also. But the fun basically stops soon after 70. What the actual fuck. Literally no endgame, and you just get weaker from 70+.
