!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.

Check your resolution and scaling settings if it's literally blurry. If you're not using an integer multiple of your monitor's native resolution, fonts can become hard to read because they don't scale evenly into the pixels available. Sometimes games launch for the first time with weird defaults for resolution, so worth having a look if you haven't already.
here's an example of an online calculator, in case anyone else faces similar problems:

there's a bunch out there, doesn't matter much which one you use; it's a simple way to calculate ratios, so you don't need to do it by hand.
i like this one because of the "nearest standard resolution" hint!
oh solid point. i’m going to check that.
