Arcade Stick 8BitDo

 

Got this with Amazon points. It shows a Switch here but it also works with PCs with the flip of...um, a switch. I've been getting back into fighting games recently, particularly Guilty Gear, but playing them with an Xbox style controller is just too cumbersome. I have an old SNES style controller too but it's just not quite doing it for me so this is where it's at as far as I'm concerned. I like that it has both wireless and wired options, and if I feel like swapping out the stick or face buttons at any point I can mod it fairly easily. Haven't used it too much yet but I've been doing fairly well with Elphelt and Slayer so far which is enough for me to give this stick a thumbs up. I've bought so much 8bitdo stuff that I probably sound like a shill at this point but their controllers have been even better and more reliable for me than the official ones in some cases. In fact, one of them had the sticks wear down after using it for years so you know what I did? Bought replacement sticks for $10 and fixed it myself. WHAT A NOVEL CONCEPT.

MSI MAG 271QPX QD-OLED, 27 OLED Gaming Monitor, 2560 x 1440 (QHD), OLED 0.03ms Response time, 360Hz, True Black HDR 400, HDMI, DP Port, USB Type C, Tilt, Height

27" 360hz 1440p OLED monitor, because my 19" 60hz 1080p LCD from 15 years ago just looks too much like shit to me now. I was actually gonna buy the 240hz version from Newegg cause it was on sale, but then I did a quick Google check and found that Walmart had the 360hz version for the same as Newegg's 240hz sale price. So that's sweet.

 

*Edit - Though I actually plan just to use it in 120hz mode cause I don't want to make my 120hz LG TV start looking juddery to my eyes the way that TV made 60hz look juddery... XD

Catch up post. Ubisoft have been adding Steam achievements to a lot of their older games and they've also had several sales, so I went on a bit of a buying spree over the last few weeks. Because I don't have enough of a backlog already, I guess!

Also this being the only game in the series I didn't own yet, I figured I'd grab it while it's on sale.

I just finished Yakuza 5 so I'm getting there. I'll be fully caught up on this series one day...
