Monitor recs? Anonymous 02/13/2026 (Fri) 05:03:09 No. 1833 [Reply]

Hey Hikarins! I've been saving money from my new job recently and I've been looking at upgrading my monitor! I currently have a generic HP 1920x1080 at 100hz and I want y'all's advice! I'd kind of like to keep the resolution because I like the wide, single monitor setup but if there's something really exceptional out there, let me and the other people in the thread know! happy2

Your fortune: Bad Luck

Honestly 1080p is enough still and if you dont care all that much maybe try the jump to what others call 2k (2560×1440). It's a huge jump in quality and wayyy easier to run than 4k. I wouldn't recommend ultra wide unless you know how to mod games and all your shows will have black bars. I will say you should try a dual monitor setup! It's convenient if you ever wanna boot up something separate or put a video on the side. Sometimes I'll play my ps3 on my main monitor and transfer files/do other tech stuff on my pc in the background. 100hz is good but if you can affordably get 144 or 175hz I'd recommend that too. Realistically you shouldnt't need to spend more than ~3-400 dollars on a new monitor, especially around holidays or days like fathers/mothers day. They get real cheap around them at places like Best Buy usually. Last bit of advice: price check always. I bought a monitor off Amazon for 50 dollars more than I would have paid on Newegg

Hikarin! It's time to discuss audio peripherals. This includes but is not limited to: >Wired/wireless over-ear headphones >Wired/wireless earbuds (including in-ear monitors) >Speakers >Mixers >Portable music players and more. Discuss and compare hardware, request recommendations, ask questions, and most of all have fun!

Anonymous 03/06/2026 (Fri) 16:36:48 No. 1842

I am looking to switch out my over-ear PC headphones for some wired earbuds of some kind. Do you guys have any recommendations? From looking online I see people recommending these, the SENNHEISER Professional IE 100 PRO. My caveat is I don't really like the wired headphones that have the silicone tips, I'd rather have the kind that are shaped like the Apple Earpods but I don't think that specific design is very common unfortunately. Any thoughts?

Rig Building Thread Anonymous 09/13/2025 (Sat) 12:02:08 No. 1708 [Reply]

Hey Hikarichanners! This thread is for people to discuss rigs and help with building rigs, and I need help pls. vengence

The only experience I had with building a compooter was watching a friend of mine build my last one, which didn't go so smoothly, so I want to just do it myself. I'll take any advice given to me, especially since I will want to use Linux (It's mainly for privacy concerns, and my building hatred for Microsoft, but I would also like to use it for gaming and probably video editing in the future). These are the components I found through PC part picker that were recommended to me from the monitor I chose. I mainly picked AMD components as people say that AMD is more compatible with Linux, also AMD parts are cheaper, and it helps fit my budget of around £1500 - £2000... https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/Gnwmt3 COMPONENTS CPU - AMD Ryzen 5 7600 3.8 GHz 6-Core Processor CPU Cooler - Noctua NH-D15 82.5 CFM Cooler Motherboard - MSI B650 GAMING PLUS WIFI ATX AM5 Motherboard Memory - Corsair Vengeance RGB 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR5-6000 CL36 Memory Storage - Kingston KC600 1.024 TB 2.5" Solid State Drive Storage 2 - Seagate ST4000DX001 4 TB 3.5" 5900 RPM Hybrid Internal Hard Drive

i actually ended up switching off of it because i decided it was unnecessary for my threat model, and my 8gb laptop frequently ran out of memory during my daily usage.

THE next New Big Thing is a combination of dicksword, Anonymous Imageboard and Feditwittereddiverse all in one, and there's not even a signup. I don't know what it'll look like, but I do know there would be 2 parts to the site(or... webapp?), the "Agora" part, which is the "imageboard" (no redditvoting, no democracy, just posts) but has some elements from twitter and reddit, but primarily imageboard, and the "Tavern" part, which is dicksword-like, but all of this on one site/whatever-it-is. Overcoming bots would have users do or say things that bots generally can't, manually. Nothing is "automatic" Overcoming CP would have mods round the clock perpetually. The site wouldn't really have "boards", but few, with few "topics" doing 'roots' and 'vines' to others, like a web, like mycelium underground, the mesh and crisscross would be so much to the point there's no one real entry point, but all can be connected to others. twitter's organic connected posts resemble this the most.

People have been trying to make stuff like this forever. At the end of the day it's never something new, even live boards follow the same formula. Everytime a new ``next big things" seems to happen, it just remind me of a more creative and thought-through project that never went anywhere.

>>1754 SSDs not only have faster read/write times (essentially quicker transfer speeds) but some games are now requiring them to load stuff quick enough. You may see an increase in performance and they have virtually zero moving parts (at least m.2's) so you don't have to worry about head crashes or moving parts failing/making noise.
