all my loli wolf companions are so moe
I always pick a darker tone (blue, violet, black, grey, etc.) whenever a site allows to because it's easier for my eyes, but apparently some people think it saves energy or something. Is there an actual proof for that?

it does, cause white uses more energy to display than dark colors, not that much tho...
I also use dark settings everywhere if possible, so much easier to read and more eye friendly
edit: there is a black google version to save energy

I use dark settings and dim my screen.
I need to get a dimmer for my desktop so the white file system doesn't blind me at night

No idea, but it's causing mass confusion. I've seen peole wandering around aimously and bumping into each other in the streets.

DS3 dlc is garbage: snowy area you can't see enemies nearby you, superstrong enemies packed with enemies who target you with spells, meanwhile some mobs will throw you spears. The first boss is very bad and uninspired...if I think this is 15€ and Witcher 3 first DLC was 10€.
It did save your eyes back in the CRT days.
I have a color preset for that with my monitor. Laptops etc. do the thing automatically nowadays anyway, some monitors too.
It still does. White is the way to go, think about how you still will want to play games at the old age, especially when retired.
Wait... white saves your eyes? Why is black worse than white?

Use a dark theme, and then go to a light webpage. You will feel blind for a few minutes.
Use a light theme, and then go a dark webpage. No problem.
The worst feeling come with reading a long article written black on white. The characters are somehow engraved if you go to a light webpage after.

White jacket, black jacket, who gives a shit. I crank the blue value all the way up to save my eyes.

I thought Skyrim SE released today
Friday.
Actually you would need to have a red-tinted picture to have a minimal impact on your photosensitivity.
That's why most astronomy tools have a red-layout option - you do not want your eyes to lose that 1 hour they just needed to acclimate to the darkness if you look into the stars/through a telescope. You want all those details!

I haven't seen anything I can actually buy on Nuuvem in a while here in the states, wonder if that's changing or if that's just to help those rare items be purchased.
Edit: Regarding all this light talk, the white light is almost surely worse for your eyes because it gives off a lot more "blue" light just because it's brighter, which is harder on your eyes. You want red tint (as mentioned above) or to use a yellow or some other filter to keep the "blue" light from getting to your eyes. It's not the color blue so much as it is a wavelength of light I believe, or something like that. It's been years since I researched this stuff so I forget the terminology somewhat but I know that things like Flux and those dumb yellow gamer glasses actually help quite a bit if you have any sensitivity

I'm kinda surprised. People raved about them but now that they accept the us dollar, their prices are no better than greenman

So close to pulling the trigger on a 1070 but annoyed that the Masterpass deal on Newegg doesn't work due to the card coming with GoW4. Would be such a great deal if it worked but its only $25.
When does that GOW promo end? This month?

The theme is beautiful. Shame it is the only music to be found in the game
Yeah, the 30th is the final day.

It's only racist when it's against dark peeps, the reverse can not be racist.

Try being a white in an asian country. You might have the "white fever" from girls, but "jealous" guys taking "er jebs" or "er gurls".

lol no
you can see them, you just have to be careful. Superstrong if you are underleveled, if you are in ~60, ~70 they are pretty fair. I didn't get to the first boss but the level design is great, too. The lore seems nice.
The loot sucks, tho.
so funnyyyyyyyyyyyy
It's not on the same level of DS2, but the initial area is very unfair, since if you simply walk nearby an enemy, like 6 pop out, and you can see them only when you know they are here, otherwise they seem trees or scenario elements.
Those dudes with axes and shield are way too strong, I'm level 90 and had zero problems on beating the normal game, but when the game places 3 or 4 of those guys, it's very hard survive.
I'm not even talking about bugs because I saw plenty of cases of enemies stucked into walls or spawning in the air, plus the game crashes a lot.
well but that's how the series works, isn't it? It teaches you to go carefully and not rush. In the initial area, for example (where there are spear, torch and spear/shield guys) you can basically lure them one by one. And even if you don't, they go down really easily, and the ones that throw basically have no defense, so you go at them first.
the game also indicates that the tree things are going to be enemies right at the beggining (i still got caught by surprise, though), it's basically dark souls 101. Observe the environment etc (i still die a lot, though lol)
The fog is really thick only in the initial area (with the guys you mentioned), after that you have a much clearer view of your enemies, too.
I do agree that you're fucked if more than two of the big guys (hell, even more than one) come at you. But you only have to be careful.
It also looks really good:
Yup, going with the shield on is basically the first rule of DS, but dunno, I found that ambush really cheap. I agree those enemies are very stupid and easy to beat, but the dlc overall plays on cheap ambush tactics, like
when you climb on the tower, surprise, an enemy with an axe will attack you almost istantly, often forcing you to fall behind. That happened twice to me and there's not really a way I found to avoid it.
the tower at the screenshot?
yeah when you enter he's right there, but it's not really hard to avoid, or am i getting it wrong?
because after going up the ladder the guy is looking outside with his back to you
because after going up the ladder the guy is looking outside with his back to you
but yeah i agree that there are some cheap tactics
(fuck that slope with the wolves and the big one), but what i did there was to lure the small ones to the tower, kill them, and then lure the big one and trap him inside LOL
still really enjoying it, though
The dude was facing me both the times, dunno why. I died against one of those guys throwing spears and now I don't want to proceed because the road was long with a lot of enemies and no bonfire, so I simply quitted.
you can skip them
if you run to the place where the snow falls, they won't follow you down there
you can also skip the wolves, just go right and quickly kill the only one there otherwise he will howl
