  • Fair enough.

    Personally, it only feels good if I’m not tired. Also I find lifting heavy to feel not great, but light weight and slow movements to feel good. I guess it’s a type of pain, but I think the type of soreness you get can be pretty satisfying.

    Also I really think climbing is the best workout– it’s engaging and fun enough that you’re not focusing the exercise. I also loved climbing trees as a kid and a while ago I went to a bouldering gym a bit. The only downsides are that it’s a bit expensive and you can easily fuck up your hands/fingers with certain techniques.


  • Have you tried limiting aerobic stuff? (not saying to avoid it completely)

    Running has always made me feel like I’m dying, but sprinting for a really short time feels amazing.

    Also have you tried strength training? I think it feels pretty good, especially isolation exercises that don’t get my heartrate too high. I still feel tired for a few hours afterwards, but it does make me feel better overall.


  • They took a bunch of rich women, dressed them up in objectifying skintight suits, then flew them to space for 10 minutes in a glorified plane ride on the second richest guy’s dick shaped rocket. And we’re supposed to be “inspired”, meanwhile women who are actual rocket scientists and astronauts are being erased and removed from NASA’s web site because “woke dei” or whatever.











  • You might want to reread my comment because you’re just making false claims that are already addressed about color and resolution

    No I’m not. OLED has better contrast and a wider color gamut than the best CRT. And it can have high refresh rate without dropping the resolution below the already low native resolution.

    4K resolution, ultra-wide aspect ratio, and extremely high framerates are simply marketing gimmicks

    So anything that your current hardware can’t do is a “marketing gimmick”? Okay… But at a minimum that would mean that OLED is just “unnecessarily” better. I’m not saying it has to matter to you, but the benefits of high framerate don’t abruptly stop at 120fps, and 4k isn’t even reaching the point of diminishing returns if you’re not using a tiny 17" display.

    It is not physically possible that a human could see flicker at 85Hz.

    This is just not true. You may not notice it, but many people can. There’s an issue with LED lightbulbs flickering at 120hz, for example.


    Anyway I’m not saying you shouldn’t enjoy your CRT, I think it’s cool! I just don’t think it’s better than OLED in any tangible way.


  • I’ll agree that early LCD screens were really bad. TN looks terrible. I think a modern IPS or VA is a better experience than CRT in some ways, (often better color, better resolution, display size, etc.) but still has major issues like poor response time and motion clarity.

    CRT does have some advantages– it is good for retro games, as a lot of pixel art was designed for the slight blur that CRTs have (waterfalls in some games, for example). And they do have good motion clarity compared to sample and hold displays, but it’s because they are flickery. 85Hz flicker isn’t as bad as 60hz, but it’s still really uncomfortable for many people. It’s one reason why almost nobody uses backlight strobing on LCD monitors. Not worth the tradeoff for most.

    OLED really is pretty close to perfect, though. Vibrant accurate colors with excellent motion clarity and high refresh smoothness, virtually infinity contrast…

    Trinitron really was ahead of its time, but a 32" 4k 240fps P3 OLED doesn’t match it, it far exceeds it.





  • If I move something close enough to my face it appears in view twice seemingly semi-transparent

    That sounds like what I experience, not just for things very close to my face, whenever my eyes are aligned to something in front or behind.

    But in order to do the dominant eye test, you need to only see one image in the foreground and background simultaneously. So how does that happen unless the view from one eye is at least partially supressed?

    This is one of those things that’s really hard to talk about and describe, but I would love to actually understand it. Also no, I can’t notice my blind spots.


  • Not at all, I perceive depth fine.

    If I focus back on my hand, the two images align, and I see both images of the background. It’s just that I’m always seeing information from both eyes.

    If anything, from my perspective it’s everyone else who I would expect to have difficulties with depth perception. You’re only perceiving one eye consciously, (In the binocular overlap region), and the other eye is just used for depth information by your subconscious, is that correct?
