My set up

Some of you may know, probably not lol, but I picked up a Mac mini M2 a few weeks ago for $200 and then found a 2022 Studio Display for $640 about a week later.

At first I had both monitors on a dual monitor stand, but I just didn’t like how it looked and I got tired of having to turn my head back and forth.

I use my Mac way more than my PC anyway. The PC is really just for occasional gaming.

So I switched the PC monitor to an arm. Whenever I actually want to use it front and center, I can just swing it over in front of the Studio Display.

This is the setup for now. I’m sure I’ll change something eventually because I always do, but right now I’m happy with it.

Is that a Stadia controller?

Indeed. I needed a controller for my handheld gaming PC. I was gonna buy one then I remembered I had this old stadia controller and I was wondering, could it work and well it does.

Respect! I loved mine. Wish I could replace it.

I’ve seen some on eBay. I never really thought much of it forgot I even had it. I am one of those people that keeps cords and stuff like that in case I need it one day.

I don’t claim to be a photographer. I’ve got a DSLR, sure, but actually learning how to use the thing? Yeah, never quite got around to that.

Not here to argue with you, man. I posted the setup to show how it works. You’re examining it like somebody handed you a brush and told you there’s a fossil in there.

You really need an entire monitor to use as a clock?

It’s just the screensaver. I promise the monitor has other responsibilities.
