Are there any of you who keep a sort of “perpetual mead”?

Every time I brew a batch (I started about 15 years ago), I set aside a small amount to add to a perpetual mixture in a carboy; basically, a drink that’s never emptied and slowly accumulates the leftovers from many batches.

From time to time, I pour myself a glass, but I never take more than half of what’s in there.

I tasted a little bit of it today, and it was really interesting: an open, very jammy bouquet on the nose. The attack was a bit medicinal, but the finish was incredibly long, reminding me of an old walnut wine.

Do you have this kind of experience too?

"AOC Q27G3XMN" vs "Alienware AW2725DM". I can't choose

Hello.

I’ve been racking my brain over this dilemma for a week now, and I just can’t seem to decide between the AOC Q27G3XMN and the Alienware AW2725DM.

https://www.amazon.fr/gp/product/B0CNRPGQBG < AOC
https://www.amazon.fr/gp/product/B0F2KBZ7WQ < Alienware

My uses:
- Mainly single-player RPG video games (no esports)
- Amateur Photoshop editing

I sit about 60 cm from the screen. It will be mounted on a VESA mount.
It will be set up in my living room with subdued ambient lighting (never in the dark, never in bright sunlight).
Spending the first few days setting it up isn’t a problem, but once it’s properly configured, I’d appreciate not having to tweak it every time I switch activities (I might stick to SDR most of the time...).

My current monitor is a 24" VA (VX2418C), so I'm used to the fairly average viewing angle; I've never tried an IPS, which look nice.

Can you help me make my choice?
