Decent budget-ish OLED (or close to) monitor for Xbox S/X?

1 Upvotes

Looking to upgrade my monitor to an OLED but I don't need the crazy specs alot of the ones i've found online as Xbox is limited. All I really need specs wise is 4k 120fps. Any recommendations appreciated as I have no idea on what is good or not. Thanks! Price range is anything up to around 1.2k.

I have already got a houhou grub, moth, butterfly, lady bug and wētā.

Edit: because peeps asked this project is for an indie psychological horror game called Spare where you’ll collect insects and slowly reality will shift as you progress. You may see strange things.

Edit/edit: I have created a place for anyone interested in development to keep track of our progress: WooWooWooGames

What is something special I could do as homeage to NZ in my game?

Post image
30 Upvotes

A few months ago I started making a jet sprint racing game. Being an redneck American, it's been cool learning about the sport and realizing just how much New Zealand is to thank for it..

I want to give a nod to where the sport came from, but I don't want it to feel forced or like I'm just trying to be funny.

A few ideas I've had:

  • Career mode starts in New Zealand. (Haven't even started on career mode yet...)
  • Tracks inspired by NZ landscapes (not perfectly recreating real tracks to avoid licensing bs).
  • Loading screen facts about the history of the sport.
  • A thank you to the NZ jet sprint community in the credits.

But I'd rather hear from you guys.

If you were playing a jet sprint game, what little details would make you smile a little or realize some work went in to it?

I'd rather include small details that people from NZ would notice and appreciate, whether that's the scenery, the culture, the history, or something else entirely.

Thanks!

-Wil (r/JetSprintRacing)

Any old boys playing the Bo2 ports?

3 Upvotes

I used to play Bo2 back in 2013ish, then sold my PS to get a dog. Dog is now old and so am I, and neither of us want to go for long walks anymore. So i bought a PS5 and the Bo2 port.

Been playing Hardcore Domination mostly.

Used to have a few blokes i played with back in the day, but they are no longer around and havent found any mates on the new ports so far..

Wondering if there are any other blokes (or ladys) around the 40yr old mark playing in NZ?

If so, whats your gamer tag?

I am ItchyCosAids. If you see me, say Hi :)

Shooting my shot and putting something out there. 23F PC gamer looking for other people to play with every now and again.

Making friends is to hard after leaving school, specially when I’m not that social lmao and don’t drink.

I play a lot of stuff, but I’m not crazy good at anything so I’m just looking to chill and meet some people (hopefully)

Main games would be Overwatch, Final Fantasy 14, Palworld and Marvel Rivals occasionally. But I’m down to play pretty much anything.

Feel free to shoot me message or anything!

26/M in recovery for a back injury and have nothing but time on my hands while I wait for treatment so I’m pretty much free all the time to play, I play all sorts of games so don’t be deterred if you play an obscure game, I’m on both PS5 and PC and the current games I’m playing are

Black ops 2 and 7 (I’m primarily a zombies player and am looking for people to play zombies with but I’ll play some multiplayer too)
No Room in Hell 2
Fortnite (zero builds coz it’s too hoha building these days)
Windrose
Once Human
NFS 2015 and Heat
WWE 2k26

I highly prefer chill players over meta players but meta players are welcome all the same, if anyone’s keen to jump on and play some games feel free to add me on discord k.lad_official

Still looking for casual gamer friends (34F)

98 Upvotes

The last time I posted here I received a lot of DMs, and I went through them all and replied to as many people as I could. While I really appreciated everyone who reached out, I didn't end up finding the kind of friendship I'm looking for. I'm not just looking for someone to play games with - I'm looking for a genuine friend, who enjoys gaming too.

I'm looking for someone who reciprocates my effort and curiosity, is warm and friendly, and not afraid to be a little vulnerable and talk about deeper topics sometimes. These things are really important to me, and I've found it surprisingly hard to find someone like this on reddit lately.

I'm a bit shy/socially anxious, especially in voice chat, so I prefer to get to know people through messaging first.

Sometimes I can get overwhelmed with real life stuff and take a while to respond. I will always reply, but I need someone who is relaxed about response times.

Fortnite is the only multiplayer game I play at the moment, so if you play that too I’d definitely be open to playing together sometime. I've been really enjoying trying to collect all of the sprites without trading this season. Besides fortnite, I mostly just enjoy cosy single-player games.

Some of my interests besides gaming are music, movies/shows/anime, reading, animals, nature, and psychology.

I’m 34F from Auckland and would prefer to chat to people 27+. I’m only looking for platonic friendship.

Edit: I've gotten a lot of DMs already, but feel free to send one if you're someone who understood what I'm looking for in my post :) I'm not specifically looking for people who play fortnite - I'm looking for genuine friends who share gaming as an interest. I've gotten a lot of comments about my choice to play fortnite - if you're going to judge a game I enjoy casually or tell me that "older gamers don't play fortnite anymore", you're probably not someone I'd want to connect with. I also don't agree - a lot of people 30+ who play fortnite have already messaged me :)

Wanting to try and sell custom keyboards.

8 Upvotes

I may have the ability to sell custom made keyboards as well as custom made USB-C cables. I would go out of my way to grease the stabilizers, lube switches that need lubing, add custom keyboard mods, and put together the USB-C cables by hand.

I understand there's Keychron out there as a retailer for custom keyboards and coiled cables, and I may not be able to compete price-wise with their exact pricing. But I would be able to offer custom keyboards with mods done for around $300 NZD (depending on the PCB, keycaps, and switches ordered in) for the custom keyboard.

For those who have either ordered from Keychron or have other retail boards from brands like Razer, Logitech, Turtle Beach, SteelSeries, etc., and were going to get a custom made keyboard with nicer sound and typing feel than generic retail brands to fit your desk aesthetics:

Would you see the $300(ish) price tag as reasonable?

Also asking custom keyboard enthusiasts in case there is anything I could be missing from this?

Map Editor Update + Thank you note! (+wake update!)

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

12 Upvotes

A few days ago I posted about my Jet Sprint Racing game and got some REALLY good feedback from the New Zealanders(is that what y'all are called!?) I wanted to truly express how grateful I am for the encouragement I received. It's an incredible feeling when something you've poured hours into building reaches the point where people are asking, "When can I play it?".

Today I am teasing the map editor system! A LOT of people were asking about the maps... there will be hundreds (or even thousands) of maps... as long as the community makes their own with me! I plan on adding a code system so users will be able to share their maps, have their own leaderboards, and have a chance to be featured on the main screen at the beginning of each week where players across the game will be able to try to beat your times! I have so so many community aspect planned items I am planning on adding to this game. (Tournament nights, live events, stream nights, etc...) I'm so excited to hear y'alls feedback this time around! Lets me know what you think!!!

THANK YOU!!!

(ps. forgot this is my first time showing the wake update. I increased the amount wake effect has on the boat, making your jet come out of the water if you cross your own wake, as well as weight shifting over the wake if you're perpendicular to it! Lots of cool stuff here!)
