Had a convo with a couple of colleagues the other day about dark mode. They dont understand how I can work with it. I dont understand how you can use all white in office or outlook and that NOT hurt your eyes? so DT, what do you use? I'm dark mode all the way. Windows, Office apps, even my phone.
Dark mode, no argument. The only correct answer is dark mode. It's easier to see, write, and read, and doesn't give me a headache.
Normal/light mode, I can literally feel my eyes strain and ache, my retina blasted away by the searing white light.
Edit: just realised light mode is the same feeling I get when I'm reading a book, and the sunlight hits the page just right so it glows, but you're too comfy to move and try to read through it... And go blind
Light mode just because it's the default and I've always been lazy to bother changing and adjusting to new things

Yep, dark mode whenever possible. I've got some beefy 4k monitors so they put out some light when the screen is all white

PAX for me! Anyone going, too?
I wish! Been every other year, but couldn't afford it this time :(
Are you more interested in the video games? Or the board games? Dice?
I always loved the miniature painting and the team games with the motion controllers they do. And trying out all the board games and card games they have. I also like going to the talks they do, some are so so interesting. And then all the cosplay, people put so much effort, time and love into making amazing displays, and I am just in awe everytime I see them.

Well plans changed with my having to help family with their stuff and also with me making a stuff up so I ended up not having much to spend on myself in the end.
I've limited myself to a coffee so far.
The cafe I'm sitting at wanted 15 dollars for a chicken schnitzel roll with a layer of lettuce, 3 slices of tomato and it didn't look too big.
Maybe I'm just being too critical.
was kinda invited ( a plus 1 ) to fam b'day party
but near everyone there hates me, even had people shun me or call me names. mil constantly disses and baits me with hate , and many are raging bigots/haters
but I kinda understand and like the b'day girl, she tries hard to be a good person ( tho she never contacts me , i never contact her )
don't want to go, won't go, but will send gifts because maybe one day they will learn to look at how people behave and learn to not listen to gossip
Go. For the birthday girl. Take yourself and a niceish gift and leave when you're done.
