Help! I can never find a game that has a good resolution.

Finally, I can follow those threaded intellectual debates on the Internet without scrolling!
- Immersive!

Tetris.
- damn that would be gnarly

OP:
- LONG LONG MAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaAAAAAAN
  
  🎷🎷🎷
- How do you know op is gay?
  Edit for those who have never seen the full series of commercials: Long Long Man ends up marrying the dude who is always with the gal who is always lusting over Long Long Man
  
  Dude spoilers
  
  He doesn't have a dog house.
- Long man will go down in history as a legend perhaps even a god

With that you can maybe read a whole part of a java stacktrace!
- You'll still need dual monitors if you want to read the whole class names.

Tetris?

Try Teeeeeeeeeetris

Terraria

I'm sure Dwarf Fortress has a mode/plugin for that resolution.
- just get the base version of bay12games, it will scale just fine!

Emulating DS titles with your screen like that is pretty neat

"I'm looking for a game that has the aspect ratio of a person"

Play some Guitar Hero
- I thought I was good at rhythm games until I tried Rift of the Necrodancer... I understand everything that I'm supposed to do but actually accomplishing it is beyond my skills.
  
  Same
  
  If you have a good arcade near you, I recommend trying maimai. Excellent little rhythm game that's fairly simple to grasp

Pinball!
- Yeha this is perfect. And he can get one of those flipper boxes too

You can finally display all the codes
- Debug like an absolute fiend.

Flight sims and racing sims won’t give a shit. They’ll use it fine. Sea of Thieves and Witcher will adapt fine, too. They look fucking awesome on an ultra wide, and I doubt they’d care if it’s portrait.

Sheet music.
- I could definitely put the Smoke On The Water tabs up there.
  For when the ladies come over.

Darius? Ninja Warrior? X-Men?
- Iirc there's a tetris version that just fits to screen and resolution, you could have like 10,000 rows high.

You just need more monitors to make a normal aspect ratio!

I found that as far as 3440 @ 35" is still a comfortable width. How do you use your ultraultrawide?

T A L L
- All the way up!
  
  Never gonna let you (go) down

The tower sitting on the edge corner there is triggering my anxiety
- But the wall is on both sides so it can't fall. It might slip but nothing catastrophic would happen.
  
  You don’t understand anxiety

Ikaruga would be perfect for you!
(I remember putting my square CRT TV on its side for this game's vertical mode lol)

Now you see, this is the kind of display you need to play the Laterally Unplayable Factorio Challenge

Icy Tower
- I was thinking SimTower.

Seriously though, there’s a lot of bullet hell that are suddenly available to you, on a screen like that.

Think of all the porn tho

share your x11 and wayland configs. Unless you're one of those people that only needs 1 of them and hasn't figured out how tf to get all that shit to work.

I legit want this for reviewing logs.
- I made a kind of T-Fighter setup
  In the middle a high and wide horizontal screen and on each side a virtual screen for logs or header files
  Imho that's just perfect

Full screen jump king?

Downwell lol

Astroids. Gotta see those stones from miles away.
- Asteroids just loop around on all sides. It’s the UFOs you gotta watch out for.

Try mobile games

youtube shorts

Chaotic evil
- Ehhhh I say chaotic neutral. Evil would be diagonal.

When you fullscreen a game, particularly a first person shooter, what do you see at the upper and lowermost bounds? Can you see behind yourself with a fisheye setting?
- First person, and top down view

Unite with the princess at the end would be great resolution of a game 😋 !

Raiden 5, or similar vertical shooter. Maybe pinball would be cool too.

As a 21:9 enjoyer I feel the pain

Clash of clans aah type setup.

Which slot machine is this?

Try turning the monitor so it faces the wall and then play from memory. Games are generally better in your memory (also faster).

Ultra tate mode.

You can read your scroll tho

This might be an opportunity to develop a game. Like the adventures of Pong Lenis or something.

Let’s remake Raptor: Call of the Shadows for you.

This is the setup for deaddrop pro Player

BUY MORE MONITORS
