Hidden Gem "Soulslikes" ?

I know 2 games I would put my hand in fire telling you that they are absolute indie masterpieces but somehow people just dont seem to know about it.

Withering Rooms
Frogmonster

And I personally consider both Soulslike but I know some people here wouldnt like me doing that.
They are the best videogames I have ever played in my life generally speaking.
WR is maybe not the most hidden (still quite unknown) but that game is so extradordinary good that I cant believe its not extremly well known.

Do you know such games ?
This 1 Person made games and you feel like a genius game designer just flew completly under the radar ?

Edit: Also little Bonus Featherfall. Its maybe not an insane masterpiece but unique soulslike for 1.50€ that I kinda never forgot
I just remembered another one but thats only a demo.
VA Proxy
Not even sure if its known or unknown since theres barely statistic about it
That game and METAL GEAR RISING are the only 2 games i know that got so close to feeling like you are an anime character.

The biggest jump in Performance I have ever witnessed

To be fair Dragons Dogma 2 released in a technical unfinished state just like Monster Hunter Wilds did so its fair that Capcom fixed it but still not all companies do that.

It seemed that the RE Engine wasnt ready for Open World Games but I suspect they finally made a huge step up and I think Monster Hunter WIlds might get the same treatment.

I remember running in this City around with less than 30FPS and stutters completly CPU bound and now I can play it mostly smooth with super high fps. (Top Right you see I have 140FPS because I locked it to that value)

Really the highest jump of Performance I have ever seen a videogame yet.

Finished Mortal Shell 2 quick thoughts

Played in Dark Mode from start to finish with controller on PC.

I think ill give this a 80/100 because overall I felt like I had a great time.

Positive:

-Very Interconnected World
-Good Graphics and Performance
-Rewarding Exploration
-Solid FIghting System and distinct Classes/Shells
-Nice Enemy/Location Designs
-Continously Progressing Character Development even far into NG+

Negative:

-Instanced Dungeons that feel disconnected from the nice Overworld and feel repetetive
-Bosses have too less moves which reduces the difficulty
-Micromechnically the game has some flaws that are too deep to explain (Forced Gap Closing for example)

Best Bosses:

-Sir Isaac, the Scholar Prince (Nice Design and fun fight)
-Malborn Offspring (Forgetable Design but very fun fight) (A stronger version of this would have been the better Endboss)

surprisingly this monitor doesnt exist

The technology is there but it just doesnt exists:

21:9 / IPS / Mini LED

And im wondering if im alone with this but isnt this a really good alternative to an OLED ?

IPS is really great technology that doesnt have any real flaws except how bright it looks in dark scenes.
With Mini LED you reduce this problem by a good amount and even if it doesnt look as good as a VA Mini LED would you dont get the other VA problems. (Black Smearing / VRR Flicker)

I would love if someone made a Monitor like this.

Anyone else stuck in a loop of waiting for "the" tech ?

I have an IPS edge lit Monitor and after 7y with over 30k hours of use I feel like it should be time.
And even 7y ago IPS 1080p wasnt considered the newest piece of tech.

I do not care for high peak brightness at all. I find my 300nits here even too bright sometimes but I want this deep level of black.
I played Resident Evil 9 and it looked so awful on my screen and I dont want that anymore.
At the same time I have a 144hz Monitor and since im buying a new monitor after such a long time I want it to feel like a true upgrade so 240Hz is what I want.

240Hz and Deep Level of Blacks but heres the catch.
It cant be OLED.
I am way to paranoid for Burn in and I know some people will tell me that its not bad but I researched this now a lot and I think this technology is really not designed for a guy like me.

Now im reading about all those new technologies
MicroRGB
Mini LED
Micro LED
SQD Mini LED

Do you think there will ever be a monitor that is going to fit my needs ?
YouTuber "The Viewing Angle" claimed his SQD Mini LED is as black as his OLED but is that tech even possible on a 34 inch Ultrawide ?
Do you think I will ever get something or am I stuck with this IPS till it breaks at 100k hours of use.

Is there a better product than this ?

I have a super niche problem.

My keyboard gets in contact with water drops sometimes.

3x rather cheap Keyboards of mine broke because of that and now I bought a more expensive mechanical one I swore to protect.

I bought a Silicon piece to put it on top of my keyboard but after a while of using it I have to say its a bad typing expierence.

So I crafted this ““masterpiece of craftsmanship““ and its kinda good ?
I can type nicely now while the gaps are protected. But since its not symatrical and perfectly cut, it doesnt slip through even everywhere.

If I could precisely laser cut this, so it would fit perfectly into the gaps it would be great.

Does a service exist that does something like this or anyone has a better idea ?

I filtered out the Voices and I went through both Albums from S1 and S2 and I cant find this song.

Does somebody know maybe ?
