Okay, now I'm on laptop so I'm going to re- ARGH MY EYES

[Tack]

Ok I feel a little bad.

[Furtuka]

Is that suppose to be tough on Darkling or on default? I saw people complaining about it for darkling but it looks fine to me.

Arkham Knight on steam got pulled.

Warner Bros. have decided that the PC version might need a little bit more tweaking before they continue getting their reviews tanked.
Great. We are now an afterthought.

Focusing on it to read, for me, gives the impression that the letters sway incrementally and my eyes begin to hurt. Once I know what is there I don't need to focus to read it because I can already have the general statement and can extrapolate specific words from length and shape.

I thought that was why people advocated refunding it en-masse, so they'd prioritize fixing that shit and not doing it again. Or was the press statement purely review related?

Huh. The Japa-cap is actually easier to read.

The world is seemingly blowing up today.

Black text on a white background, even the faded, yellowish white that books end up being with time, is one of the worse color contrasts for reading, imo.

Hahaha, clearly we must educate you

From my experience with forum formatting and personal trial and error, there are very significant differences to using colors in different viewing modes (according to the list under 'Change Color', the "default" forum colors {not encompassing other useable but not evident colors like cornflowerblue, the best blue in both forum viewing modes or chocolate. Better than brown because it really looks brown.}

We've got Core (What seems to be 'Forum default' but an easier to remember name in the Look & Layouts under Modify Profile) format, used in default by all users when viewing all boards not-related to DF, with the opposite being the Darkling format, which people use for its total color swap! (Text is white, background is black; mirrors the DF boards rather than the Core format of the other boards).

Spoiler: Here are the differences (click to show/hide)

I can't provide a straight-up guide on what is better on each viewing mode, given the relativity of vision here (and many other factors like monitor brightness or such), but that's the basic idea: Light-colors don't go well with light backgrounds, dark colors, aren't efficient on a dark background.

Note to self: Don't do these things if net is going silly -.- it'll take many minutes to even preview and post or upload any images. -_-


To relate to this thread:

I totally copied all of the above, with minor edits, from my RtD Library draft which I should really send to NAV.
It's finished.
It's offline.
I'm not sending it.

Should talk with this with my mentor soon.

God fucking damnit.  City slickers coming down here are bad drivers. 
On the same short stretch of road today, the first one makes a turn onto my road without stopping at the stop sign, right in front of me.  Bastard.  The 2nd one was driving on the other side of the road, except he was right in the middle of it.  Great, just great.

Every damn year and this is just the beginning.  (Yes, the Jewish population coming upstate for the summer, every year.)

Its just as bad over here with bikers preparing for the ironman race (while obviously pretending they're neither pedestrians nor vehicles and thus ignoring all traffic laws) and tourists flooding up into Canada. At 90mph.

Hope you enjoy Californians, KOSS!

[pisskop]

KOSS lives on the East Coast.  In Northern Maine, iirc

It's happening the +1 week game of Drawception is finishing 14 out of 15 yeeeeessss!

EDIT: I just know it's gonna leaderboard. Not a vet game, but it will leader board. I know it.
Can't wait to be disappointed.

Well, it beats everything falling flat, doesn't it?

[Sergarr]

Everything sounds sharp, like it's been upshifted a quarter step or something. The school bells sounded all wrong on my way back from lunch, for example.

Try putting your head (ears included) under water for a couple of seconds, see if anything changes.
