Anon discovers his hidden superiority

If you're not gaming on 9:16 you're not a true gamer
- I game on 9:21. I'm seeing every damn cloud in the sky and every blade of grass down to my feet.
  
  I prefer 16:10 but rotated 22°
- True
Maybe just try switching to a 4:3 resolution before investing in an entire monitor.
Where in the fresh hell does one even get a 4:3 screen these days?
- I just took a 16x9 and hacked the sides off with a sawsall. It doesn't work now, but I still feel superior.
  
  Attaboy show em who's boss
- Thrift stores
- just get a 16:9 and play with the display settings to disable the edges
- The second hand market. I don't think many of them will even be 1080p or 60Hz, and i'm pretty sure you can forget about 4k
  
  I have one listed on craigslist right now, for free because it's broken. No takers.
  
  I used to have a CRT screen that was 1600x1200 @60hz, so high resolution ones do exist.
Should be flipped, compare the "seen by both eyes" regions.
Counter-Strike moment
I wish 4:3 was still a thing on laptops.
- I want 3:2
  
  There are 3:2 laptops like the Framework and Huawei matebook x pro. But 3:2 is still quite far from 4:3
  
  I want 1:1.
  
  Instagram life.
  
  I've used one briefly, it was fantastic. If only Microsoft's Surface wasn't the biggest player in the 3:2 market.
- The newer Lenovo X1 is damn near 4:3, I think mine's 1900x1200
  
  I guess 1920x1200. The equivalent in 4:3 would be 1920x1440, not really close.
4:3 is the "both eyes" span of the prey, 16:9 the predator. If you're doing better with 4:3, you might not be the kind of "GOAT" you want to be.
