Should I buy a 240hz monitor? (kbin.social)

I'm on the market for a new monitor. Mine is a very old Asus that is a 1080p/60hz monitor.

A few days ago I used to be the occasional competitive player (just playing with friends) and while I might play a competitive game or two again, I'm wondering if I should buy the BenQ Zowie 2546K. Where I'm looking (local market), it's currently the lowest price it's ever been.

But my hesitation lies on the fact that I might have more use for a 4k/140hz monitor.

I guess I'm mostly looking for personal recommendations.

Which was your favorite console controller and why? in c/gaming@kbin.social

I have big hands so I'd have to go with the Xbox 360 and Xbox One's controller. The DualSense is very good, too. I'd give it to the DualSense for the haptic feedback and vibrations, but they're both great!

I recommend using an AMD CPU and GPU, but otherwise you can just assume a game works and it will most of the time. If it doesn't, there might be some quick fixes, and if not then it's an unlucky one.

See ProtonDB.

Can we make a habit around here to post directly the tweet/comment/article instead of posting a screenshot to it in c/kbin@kbin.social

I disagree with this. I'm all for federated and non-corporate alternatives but I think we should post the source and not an alternative front-end. Those that want to use exclusively those alternative front-ends have access to browser add-ons that automatically redirect them.

I'm sorry to post this here, this might be the wrong place so please redirect me to a more appropriate magazine.

On Reddit (LinkedIn is even worse if I'm being honest) you would constantly see screenshot of tweets but never a link to the tweet themselves.

kbin would probably save a lot of bandwidth doing this, and it'd make the experience much more pleasant for those who want to follow the object of the screenshot's discussion.
