Well my monitor up and die on me.

Edit: my monitor still has power but it might as well be dead. It flashes of and on and, shows weird image issues. It's not my video card , because I hook my monitor up to my PS5 and it show the same issues.

Even when not hook up to anything it shows issues.

Sorry to hear that, man.

In other news, am still loving the fight sequences in Jujutsu Kaisen. Artist REALLY knows how to do them well; I'm highly impressed.

If it is just the monitor, that might not be so hard to deal with. It's not that hard to get a replacement, and if money is an issue I know of places that sell used/refurbished monitors cheap. If it had been your CPU, your computer system, then that could get pricey.

Yeah I'm already looking into new monitors in the 200 to 600 dollar ranged

Good luck, I hope you find a good one.

Luck Bruce.

In keeping with movies, legends, and manga, I'm now training some of my solo staff stuff with a 6 lbs metal bar (wrapped in duct tape, metal 'splinters' suck) and some of my solo Jian and Dao stuff with a 4 lbs bar (weighted on one end). Have already seen a difference in how my heavier sword handles.

Just need to make sure I don't get sloppy and -

1. ruin my joints;
2. destroy my form.

Maybe need to pay someone to make a 3.3 lbs practice sword for me - would be only 50% heavier than my heavy sword, and better balanced.

Not sure what you're looking for, but at Best Buy I was able to get a decent monitor for just below 200. Might want to check there. (Not sure if that was just lucky timing on a deal, though.)

Please Don't Bully Me, Miss Nagatoro: Damn you, Naoto, you're making me cry. You finally figured out what you want.

[Sharpandpointies]

Sounds cool!

Just need to make sure I don't wreck myself doing it.

Order a samsung IPS monitor from Best Buy for 600+ dollars. 4k, 144hz and 1 milsecond response time.

Yup, be careful with that. I do weighted training for climbing, generally a session or two per week.

One of the first times I did that, I overdid it and tore a ligament in my elbow. I lost 6 months of training (and fun) thanks to that. And as you know, with age it just takes longer and longer to come back.

This is not even counting the intermittent pain I have thanks to residual damage and arthritis in most of my fingers, my back, my neck, both shoulders, both elbows, a couple of toes and a knee. I do this because I love it. At least, that's what I tell myself.
