What are you doing (ingame) now?

[Ziptek]

It's really just about getting used to the distance. [...]When you first start, 10LY feels like so far. Then 100Ly feels crazy. Doing the Rare Trade Loop of a few hundred LY starts to feel normal, then you go out into the verse and explore. Then anything under a thousand feels normal. Hell, a thousand is only 30-50 jumps to you afterall.

So, true. Good luck on your way to Jacques and back!

Many thanks! I'm trying not to lose focus, since I'm getting so close, and it's human nature to rush to cut corners when close to a goal's completion.

That being said, 4,940.75LY left to Jaques.

Running Ceos/Sothis missions. Even without being high rep, this is an awesome money maker I wish I'd discovered sooner. Think this is my third run and it'll easily pull 23+M for me on ~190T of cargo. Might decide to do some runs for the new Maia CG.
Hopefully this storm passes without any power/internet outages.

Yea...

I get the same feeling when busting for a shite.....

The feeling intensifies the closer your proximity to the pan.....

You really have to be careful and not lose focus of your botty muscles......

I know. Gotta check myself before I wreck myself.

Nice thing about that forced downtime, I finally got my monitor re-calibrated back to where it should have been, after the idiots at my warranty company screwed up all my settings.
It really is time to get a new 34" 21:9 2k screen already.

Any reason you're looking to the Anamorphic aspect? Do you already have one?

I went back'n forth on getting a new LCD, as I just played on a simple, 1080p 60Hz 3Dtv. I was looking for a 4K LCD TV that also did 1080p @120Hz so I could get a smooth framerate. I also looked at some G-sync and other, 144Hz options.

But in the end, I just went VR instead. Too many 120Hz panels really cannot do that refresh rate, not at the matrix size they run. But I still looked at it.

I've gotten to the point that I use every biological break as a full break from the game. I log off and get away from the computer for a bit, walking around. It causes me to usually only play 2-4 hours max, with 1-2 breaks. I find I enjoy the game a lot more by never playing more per day, and taking those 5-10 minutes away every 60-90 minutes or so far more seriously.

Yeah, I'm a lightweight.

Well I went through the "what to get" debate way back at the start of the year. I'm not getting VR Gen 1, and the 1xxx/4xx GPU are junk partial-improvement generations..So realistically, 4K/60 is not doable unless I want to upgrade my GPU again next year to keep playing new games.

So that leaves me with the practical upgrade, which is either 1440p with a high refresh rate, of anamorphic widescreen in a larger size, but still 1440p, which is still in the realm of 2K performance targets. I get that 21:9 isn't something that is overly supported now, and it sometimes takes res hacks to get it working. It's just one of the things I am considering. Probably between the Asus Gsync 27" 2560x1440p monitor that's 144Hz or something, I forget exactly, or the 34" 21:9 screen from either Asus or Acer, both are arguably the same overall.

I might end up keeping 1080 for another year as a monitor, who knows. 4K/60 isn't realistic, and VR isn't in Gen 2, which I feel I need to spend the price for it. I know what 100hz+ looks like, and I know what 1440/1600p looks like. Neither is a real gamble, but is an improvement.

Anywhop, only 3,859.96LY to Jaques Station.
