  • I figured that could be the reason, like with the various ways soldiers find to carry their rifles more comfortably, but I just don’t understand the physics of it here. Pulling on a backpack straps, I get, you are basically offloading the weight from your back and into your arms (and, as you said, bringing it higher to make it a little more comfortable to wear), but here it looks like it would just strain your neck and possibly your back even more since there are plates on both sides (which I assume is the heaviest, most “problematic” parts of the vest regarding comfort).

    Guess I need to wear some body armor to understand it, physics and biomechanics do be weird sometimes.














  • Imo 4k is overkill anyway, and chasing even 60 fps (not to mention 120 which seems to be the norm these days) at this resolution for current/“next” gen games is basically a scam from hardware manufacturers to get us to buy their overly expensive “gamer” grade shit.

    Now I know it’s a bit of an extreme view in the gaming space, but imo this shit is not sustainable and doesn’t even bring that much to the table in terms of fidelity/enjoyment. 1440p works just fine and is much easier to work with, especially as your hardware gets older because fill rate really is a bitch with modern photorealistic games.
