!gaming is a community for gaming noobs through gaming aficionados. Unlike !games, we don’t take ourselves quite as serious. Shitposts and memes are welcome.
Our Rules:
1. Keep it civil.
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only.
2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry.
I should not need to explain this one.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month.
Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

That's more or less the placebo effect at work, though. Most people cannot see "faster" than 60FPS; the only actual upside of running higher FPS rate is that you don't go below 60 in case the game starts to lag for whatever reason. Now, you may be one of the few who actually see perceive changes better than normal, but for the vast majority, it's more or less just placebo.
You can literally see the difference between 60 and 144 when moving the cursor or a window on your desktop. What are you on about
That's just wrong. I couldn't go back to my 60Hz phone after getting a 120Hz new one. It's far from placebo, and saying otherwise is demonstrably false.
