I can't keep up with that!

Basically there's stuff that happened and stuff fans wanted to happen so much that Lucas sold the publishing rights so he could cash in.

If it involves Luke Skywalker, Darth Vader, Han Solo, Obi Wan Kenobi or Emperor Palpatine then it's likely (But certainly not exclusively) in the former.

If it involves Bobba Fett, Wedge Antilles or any Jedi or Sth not mentioned above then it's very likely in the latter.

So, I've been using f.lux for a few weeks now, and I'm ready to give a wholehearted recommendation.

If, like me, you find yourself using your PC all through the night, you'll probably start feeling a sort of aching pain in your eyes, along with the occasional headache, or even trouble sleeping. That's because (gasp) your brain didn't evolve to be staring at bright white objects six hours after sunset.*

What f.lux does is gently adjust your monitor's colour balance at sunset; keeping it roughly consistent with the ambient light outside, plateauing at a warm golden hue. Due to some science bullshit about cone cells and high-energy wavelengths, tinting the monitor orange (i.e. reducing the level of blue light emitted) will reduce or elminate the painful effects of using a monitor after dark.

Here's the settings I use and recommend (minus location):

It'll look strange at first, but stick with it for at least a week. I've been using it for almost a month, and not only do I not notice it at all, it's genuinely painful when I turn it off. Best application I've seen since Hexels.

If you're Slog Bait or Vyrien or something, hit Alt+End to send the colours back to normal for an hour (it'll notify you when it turns back on). As for Crashpunk, I don't think it effects recordings, streams, or that sort of thing. You'd have to check for yourself, though.

Okay, just dl'd f.lux and I love it! Seriously MM thank you, I do get headaches from using my laptop and just using it for two minutes and then turning it off I was like, ow my eyes.

Daily 620 million Indians are defecating in the open. That’s half the population dumping over 65 million kilos of poo out there every day. If this poo continues to be let loose on us, there will be no escaping the stench of life threatening infections, diseases and epidemics.
The solution? Public education video!

Giving F.luk a test. A spend a long time on the computer so I hope it helps.

Eye strain at night is not fun at all.

Since I have to live nocturnally I'm not getting the whole "same shade as the ambient lighting" effect.

MeechMunchie 04-29-2014 02:54 PM

It's actually imitating halogen room lighting i.e. the lights around you, but even in a darkened room it should help.

Phoenix Wright/My Little Pony FIM - Turnabout Storm Part 1.



If you're watching part 3, then start with the Twilight Sparkle version.

MeechMunchie 04-30-2014 10:39 PM

Don't worry, I'm not watching any part.

It's so odd. I remember reading about a guy who was only sexually attractive to Cars. :confused:

This game is pretty cool.

This thing takes a couple of hours to read, but I thought it was really good.

THE SEA IS GROWING ON THE LAND

WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON

Varrok 05-04-2014 01:33 PM

Technically, I think every sea lies on a land of sorts

MA 05-04-2014 01:38 PM

whoa, man

you can't just throw mind-blowing shit like that around and expect people like me not to have a brain aneurysm/panic attack. fucking irresponsible.

Vyrien 05-04-2014 02:28 PM

Trigger warning: sea growing on land.

I'm disappointed with this because ABC17 is the local news station for where I'm currently living in the US.

sad face.

This video is so weird, it's hilarious and kinda disturbing at the same time. Didn't look much into the article about this dude's arrest but he was some circus acrobat or something lol. Obviously very NSFW.


Ridg3 05-08-2014 03:39 AM

NSFW for non-sexual content.

Normally I'd post about this kind of thing in WaYPRN, but I haven't really got much to say about it. Get as deep as you can before you run out of torches. I got to about -330m. Haunting, in its own little way.
