[Grubb's] Random Thoughts of the Day

[Fluffyumpkins]

The raccoon one was good. I like it when animals just sort of flail through the air.

I just really like the Demon's Souls "NOPE" one because that's exactly how i felt exploring all the dark scary places in that game.

I always preferred .jfif as that's the actual file format.

I guess there's no good 3 letter abbreviation for that as required by DOS. .jif may be confusing, and .jff sucks.

Choosy moms choose Jif.

They all seem way overpriced. Sure, they're nice, but I'd rather spent 1/4 or 1/5 of that and get a solid all around monitor in general and use the extra money for other stuff instead of having a slightly more vivid screen.

Here's the EVO monitor - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6824236049

Newer model of what I have (very big for price) - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6824254093 (and the slightly smaller cousin http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6824254099)

If you wanna spend more, could look into the 120hz monitors... they can do pretty good 3D if you're interested in that (way better than anything you'd see in theaters if you're using that as a comparison)

They aren't more "vivid", they are more accurate, properly representing the color gamut that the game designers, filmmakers, photographers, etc all designed their work to be displayed in. sRGB, rec.709, there are standards that studios of any kind work in and intend their finished product to be viewed in. they and I both understand that that ends up being 5% of the population, though.

I understand if actually seeing what the artist meant you to see isn't high on the list of importance, but I like to know the colors and shadow ratio and skintone and etc are actually what the game artist or filmmaker etc signed off on in post production, not some wild "turbocolor 120hz fluidmotion" horrible interpretation of it
