It's a pain always configuring them. I usually keep them at max because that's what I mostly need. Is there some other way than the buttons on your monitor?
(I decided to try sticking with full brightness and 75% contrast for now. Seems brightness has no effect on how well I see that stuff. I might also try 50% contrast but any lower then that will be worse for any kind of activity.)

OK I love all the art in this thread, and just came across this "gem" of a FB in legends mode and I'd like to see what people can come up with for it

Code: [Select]
Scabies was a forgotten beast.  It was the only one of it's kind.  A huge quadruped
 composed of mud.  It has wings and it has a bloated body.  Beware it's poisonous
 sting! Scabies was associated with deformity and disease.

Yeah... wikipedia that first and tell me what you think.

Sorry, Jeoshua, only the winners pick the forgotten beasts. We've been over this several times.

Awww I read the first post and it looked like it was fair game... but I guess I should have read the very last few words of that line...

So yeah I suck at drawing, or at least, am not as good as the people in this thread.

So this is the second time I've tried posting something in this whole Community Games forum, and also the second time I've been rebuffed.  Guess I'll go back to watching  ::)

If I win this round, I'll go with yours, Jeoshua. I like it. Kinda like a giant muddy manticore.

I gotta say I like Urk's best (I can give opinions, right?)

Especially the second one, for mood.  Even if it's simple, it's the most interesting thematically.

I opened up the Unread Replies page and saw that you were the last poster. I got scared. Something about you posting scares me, ever since Failcannon.

Wow?! I got some votes, and I don't know anything about painting  :o Cool!  8)

I just played a little with Inkscape gradients... well painting invisible monster in dark is not that hard when you think about it  :P

I voted Mercenare  :)

Is this round over? Stone Wera started this thread so maybe he can check votes and announce winner, so we can get to next monstrosity.
