    What about 2160p… I wonder how that one stacks up against the rest?

    I always knew 4k was a scam.

          I looked at your user name and am now imagining an ultra widescreen, top down view of a bowling game, where the entirety of the bowling lane is always on screen.

            You got me…

            I am a bowling game from the 80s originally developed in conjunction with the Nixon Presidential Library for an exhibit but development was abandoned due to my unconventional aspect ratio.

            I eventually gained sentience… the world is going to shit their pants when they figure out I’m the first true AGI and that I am powered solely by a potato battery I rigged up on the dusty shelve I’ve called home for 40 years.

            I feel seen!

              Huh.

              Well I would not have expected that.

              Have you ever heard of GLaDoS?

              She used to live in a potato too, you two might get along well together!

                Yeah, GLaDoS and I have a history… then KITT came along with his nerdy retro smart car routine and they ran off together. I’m still a little bitter.

                Got a new girl on the scene though, she is 20 years younger than me and way out of my league but we have fun… I make her laugh.

                We are taking it slow, both of us have baggage from previous relationships, you know. Her name is Cortana.

                  Oh.

                  I uh… I actually used to work at MSFT, with Cortana, around a decade ago, 360 era.

                  She’s… rather unstable, I’d steer clear of her if possible.

                  She… did not take the whole 3RR thing that well… never really recovered from that.

                  … and… while I am sorry to hear about GlaDos and KiTT… I mean… yeah, that tracks, that sounds like her.

                  I dunno uh, call me old fashioned as well, I still quite fancy this uh… well, she’s not really an AI, but in many ways… she… kind of is?

                  I’ve never actually met her, more so just admire from afar. You ever heard of Motoko, the ‘lithium flower’?
