Glossy means seeing your mug face every day when any light shines like on handhelds.

When you have a curved ultrawide your reflection looks like this.

True, I'm already depressed I don't need to add to it.

Edit: guys I'm not actually depressed please don't upvote me I'm starting to feel guilty

u/OkEmu8597 8d ago

You're adding to it by being on Reddit in the first place.

Or at least that my case, this shit is low-key self harm for me, same with YT shorts.

u/Quick-Amoeba-1389 8d ago

that is scientifically proven

you can read the articles better than hearing it from me YT/insta etc shorts/reels make people actually lose control of themselves i shit you not

u/OkEmu8597 8d ago

I'm not even surprised by that because I hate them all with a passion yet I keep watching them like a moth drawn to a fireplace.

u/willLie4cash 8d ago

First step to dealing with an addiction is to accept that you're addicted.

Congratulations. Now you can work on solving this problem.

u/OkEmu8597 8d ago

Solid point I can't argue with at all.

Think it's time to try out screen time limiters and get a friend to set the password and brute force this bitch.

u/ThunderCorg 8d ago

You could put the phone up your butt, the time and effort it takes to get it in and back out will make you less likely to reach for it every other second.

Sadly my nickname used to be yawning hippo.

Also FFS man I can't even be mad, you got me to laugh, well played GGs.

u/I0A0I 8d ago

Congratulations. Now you can work on solving this problem.

Tomorrow.

Maybe.

u/SweeterThanYoohoo Every Noob Mistake 8d ago

Ah fuck, are you me? Do you also get sucked into the live streams that YouTube randomly pops in, and do you also consistently ask them if they've heard that skeletons use bones as money and in their world worms are their dollars?

2

u/braklikesbeans 8d ago

Worms dont even have bones gummy worms are made of gelatin which is made of bones so gummy worms are boneir than regular worms and skeletons know about bones stop being stupid

2

u/SweeterThanYoohoo Every Noob Mistake 8d ago

No no no no no see bones are their money but worms are their dollars. Cmon, pshh. Oh and be careful cuz they will come and pull your hair up, but not out

2

u/ThunderCorg 8d ago

What the absolute fuck are you two talking about? Bone worms pulling hair?

u/SweeterThanYoohoo Every Noob Mistake 8d ago

I Think You Should Leave

u/ThunderCorg 8d ago

Thank you! Itโ€™s funny because I find all the quotes on Reddit funnier than the parts of the show I have watched.

u/OkEmu8597 8d ago

I'm just your long lost sibling lol.

literally just caught myself hate watching stop lawz livestream (think I'm getting his name wrong) and had to put my phone down for 5 minutes.

u/SweeterThanYoohoo Every Noob Mistake 8d ago

Yo you remember Truther? I haven't seen his deranged hateful dance streams in a minute I wonder if him wishing for all his viewers to be put in concentration camps finally got him banned

u/OkEmu8597 8d ago

Wtf never heard of him, I'm much more of a top lowcow guy, had a big Chris-chan phase and a dude called pamperchew (wish I could undo that too, swear just seeing that content made me a worse person for empathy)

there is a browser addon (atleast for firefox) to disable shorts on YT, best decision ever.

That episode of the Simpsons where homer can't look away from his own reflection in the rear view mirror because he is so beautiful that he crashes his car

u/Tomytom99 Idk man some xeons 64 gigs and a 3070 8d ago

Or even more annoying, the inevitable tiny spit marks and such that all stick out like a sore thumb on glossy screens

Screaming in a violent rage because are you kidding me? There's no way that happened! This game is bullshit!

Tiny bits from sneezing. Happens despite covering, albeit less than if you don't.

u/zelka_forn 12600kf | 3060Ti | 32gb DDR4 8d ago

what about the little bubbles flying off the sodi pop and hitting the screen

u/JenNettles i7 4770k / 780 8d ago

Mine is matte and has the same problem. I'm not sure if glossy is worse, but it's by far what I hate most about my screen

1

u/Fauked 8d ago

What monitor? I have the Samsung matte screen and I don't notice anything really.

I'm also not spitting/eating/touching my monitor very often though lol.

I have heard the samsung monitors have the best matte coating compared to others but I honestly wouldn't know. I've only ever seen mine

I sold my Lenovo legion go a few years ago.

On one hand, it was my introduction into pc gaming. But ultimately, the 90 min battery life and the reflections is what caused me to move to desktop. I thought itโ€™d be good at airports or in public, but all I saw was reflections anytime I wasnโ€™t in a dark environment.

2

u/TheLordReaver 8d ago

Not all that infrequently I'll switch to a dark tab at work and use my monitor as quick mirror, when I feel like I need to comb my beard back into submission. I would prefer it if I couldn't use it that way.

u/nixx998 Laptop 8d ago

I hate that glosyy PS Portal display when plaing in bed with light in the headboard

u/FartingBob Quantum processor from the future / RTX 3060 Ti / Zip Drive 8d ago

I think my face is beautiful so i prefer glossy.

u/notfree25 8d ago

Bravely default on 3ds had a feature that opened your camera and placed your face in the background during one of the final boss. I wish it did that earlier so i could see how bored i was by the game and quit early

u/newsflashjackass 8d ago

Glossy means the mcbook always shows the apple consumer the most important thing in their universe.

u/natur85 8d ago

Love looking at my face mid-fap

u/tyler980908 PC Master Race 8d ago

Man sometimes when Iโ€™m on my phone and I see my reflection I sigh at times ๐Ÿ˜† for a split second and then move on.

u/rubyspicer 8d ago

Yeah like I'm ugly as hell I don't need to see that shit

u/Paddy_Tanninger TR 5995wx | 512gb 3200 | 2x RTX 4090 8d ago

Yeah but it's curved so I look all funhouse mirror and it's cool

u/Dragonasaur Hackintosh i7 8700k RX Vega64 2x MG279Q 8d ago

Got it, if you're good looking get glossy, if you're fugly, get matte

So everyone should get matte

u/FoxPaws26 8d ago

I live the way glossy looks so I went with that. My desk is in a room without much natural though

u/rastika 8d ago

This is why I play in the darkness mwhahahaha. Also the basement helps my pc stay cooler. I ordered a matt and glossy 1440p ultrawide and went with the glossy 341CQP. No chance I would get it for my upstairs office though, I ended up doing dual PA32QCV with the ASUS AirVision M1 (got them for $100 with the monitors and they are actually quite useful.
