This month I have been mostly playing: Shadows of Doubt. The shadows have crept into my machine this month, pulling me in with its promise of gumshoe antics. And I'm dreadful at it, but it's kept me coming back each time I get bludgeoned to death by some angry pseudo cop.
This month I have been mostly testing: Graphics cards, SSDs, and new CPUs. And it turns out that we can probably all stop being excited about PCIe 5.0 SSDs.
I wish my gaming monitor was a little bit taller. I wish my lag was smaller. I wish I had an OLED that was glossy, and fast, and a six foot HDMI 2.1 cable. Yes, I am torturously paraphrasing Skee-Lo and, yes, I am aware that's probably a reference sure to fly over the heads of most people reading this. But I am above a petty desire for cultural relevance. What I am not above, however, is the desire for the perfect gaming monitor.
