    Also my computer is in a corner with like zero wifi so it will take me SOME TIME to download the game.

    In the mean time, Surfpossum credeiki I would appreciate any more design input. I have rearranged the panels, added a different image in one, and added white space. Is this ok/are there obvious issues/should I abandon nine panels?

    Second thing: I could move the sharper images to the cardinal directions instead of corners, allowing me to have one fewer "sharp" images. This doesn't have the white space, but I could easily (though with some time) add it, but I am wondering about the possibility of this arrangement:

    (I realize that the same image is arranged in a position to be hard and soft in the two images, but I'm not totally sure how to class it)

    Shiv what do you think about this? Maybe the dark red matting is a matter of taste but the composition does genuinely look a lot better. All I did was crop.

    I’m planning to:

    Read a lot of books
    Finally plan out my dnd game for my players
    Play video games
    Maybe do acid?
    Take a day trip somewhere with my husband
    Cook

    One of the last weekends before the lockdown my sister and I went up to Beacon to see the art museum and check out their quaint main street

    Huge fan of that experience, but I wonder if day trips are still a thing? The whole experience (hour train -> strange new england town -> hour train) seems so impossible now

    I'm not sure there's a better way for the light bulb reset?

    You could add a button, but that's both more expensive (and those bulbs have a lot of engineering challenges with managing heat in a cramped enclosed space), and requires end users to have a light fixture where the button can be accessed while the bulb is installed... (And if it's up high or something you get people complaining about having to move their bulbs around to reset them, or standing on a ladder holding down a button then falling or all sorts of nonsense) Or users just not understanding that they should move the bulb to a different fixture first and then thinking it's impossible to reset.

    So controlling it through an on-off code seems best. Turning on and off the is the core function of a light fixture so we can assume it's easy for the user.

    Really the only bizarre thing is the serial killer narration on the video, but I think that's the best you can get with such a dull script.

    There's actually a fair number of live service games that've been around for a 2+ years that have noted that, having released for the old console generation, they're now having trouble adding new stuff without taxing their memory allocation (and hard drive space) on those machines.

    I also think that although the PC upgrade treadmill is more staggered, monitors and graphics card in particular are still alive and kicking as far as gaining advantages in games (especially since large open worlds eg Battle Royale types have grown more popular, which require beefier graphics cards for good render distances and FPS).

    ...and of course, as always, Kill Hitler.

    But it is mostly fringe stuff and not needed to play a game... just needed for Ray Tracing, 144Hz, or something else on the bleeding edge.

    There were games that needed a voodoo2 to play and wouldn't work at all on a voodoo1 or voodoo banshee, shortly after the launch of said card. 3D-capable GPU generations were fucking WILD back in the early days. You can still play almost every single AAA game today on a mid-tier GPU from 6 years ago if you are willing to make compromises on settings. That was more or less impossible up until somewhere around the PS3/Xbox 360 generation of consoles.

    I'd vote for black matte but if it's going to a print-on-demand type place then big swathes of black ink might not look so good.

    My guesses on what the network was trained on:

    Starry Starry Night, Kandinsky?, Cubism (Nude Descending a Staircase or a Picasso/Braque)
    Hentai, Matisse, Chinese watercolors
    Chagall?, Chagall?, Hokusai

    So, since I trawled Google Images, these are not all well known. But!

    1) Starry Night, yes
    2) Not actually Miro, but something in Miro's style, by this guy, image here
    3) Yes, it's cubist. It's actually this, though I ALSO trained on nude descending a staircase and got this:
    09j2jrvthz64.png
    (I'm re-running this right now with random initialization)
    4) Not hentai, but right style, it was on Lichtenstein
    5) the Scream
    6) Yes, some random Chinese-style bamboo painting - you can see in her ear (her left ear, the one on the right of the image) that it started to try to include the signature as well
    7) I'm not actually sure who did this, and the site I got it from has been unhelpful. It is from here, and is specifically this rad thing.
    8) Miro's L'air
    9) Hokusai. The Wave, obvs, I haven't run anything on his other works.

    Zooming is just default zooming in and out, the only thing I did was stick some drag and drop stuff onto the images.

    It all stays in place because the divs have hardcoded sizes.

    Yeah, cropping is definitely correct. Thanks for the mockups and suggestions, everyone. I like how you've cropped it, DK. I definitely let OCD get in the way of actually trying to find the best framing, so it's good to see how it looks good when you ignore the desire to create perfect squares...

    It really is a sort of interesting problem, because you really only have one input and it already spends a good part of its life fully powered down so a hard power down reset isn't an option either.

    Really this makes a lot more sense for a lightbulb than the asinine steps you have to do for some things in devices / machines that have plenty of input options. Here are the steps for resetting the service notification in our truck:
    • Set the ignition to the ON position.
    • Open the hood.
    • Open the drivers door.
    • NOTE: A service resetting message will appear on the instrument cluster.
    • Fully depress both the accelerator and brake pedals and hold for 60 seconds.
    • Set the ignition to the OFF position.
    • Set the ignition to the ON position and check the message has been cleared.
    • If the message remains, repeat the process.

    Like, you couldn't have just let us go into a screen and press a button?
