I wasn't doing retro gaming as much. Work got in the way and I was just playing the odd game on Steam here and there. Recently I was looking for a new ultrawide monitor and got turned off by the lack of decent offerings so I pulled out my trinitron monitor and got it hooked up with retroarch and GOG and got back into things. I figured out how to calibrate the monitor with WinDAS which was a massive pita. I think I'm done with Sony monitors for a while.
I actually end up on this forum a lot through google searches (sometimes even my own threads ). This place has a lot of good discussions when I'm looking up some old game or how to try and set something up.
