it has been festering in me for years.


People who know me know that I like "sitting around in the dark" .... No doubt that my eyes are sensitive, they are pale blue and I am getting older, but I have always preferred low light situations. As far as enjoying a dark environment indoors - that seems natural to me. True, now that my visual acuity is diminished I need extra light for critical close-up tasks but for general "sitting around" I strongly prefer low light levels.

My ex- in contrast, was one of those people who turned on every light in the house right away. On a dark winter morning that is absolutely painful to me. And, I hardly ever set foot outside in sunlight without dark sunglasses.

As far as open windows, that can be pleasant (if there is nothing ugly outside like pollen or smoke) but downstairs in an area where there are passersby, no, I don't think so.

It's odd that there are no R3 PgUp, R4 PgDn keys for the ubiquitous 65% layout anywhere in this set, not even in the extension kit, yet there is a second 1u Ctrl key which no modern layout uses. Would consider picking up if that weren't the case (especially if the two aforementioned keys find their way into base) :thumb:

My roommate is already throwing all the windows open. God damn, I hate open windows.
It invites huge amounts of dust in, that I inevitably will have to clean off all my ****. There is a constant stream of strangers walking by at ground level peering in and invading my privacy. Also inviting possible thieves, as he has his PS5 literally right next to the window, anyone could just push out the screen and grab it. Plus the angle forces to sunlight directly onto my video games on the bookshelf, which is the only valuable things I own, as I watch them slowly get sun-bleached.
It is literally like a compulsion with him opening the blinds and windows, first thing he does every day, knowing I hate them being open at all. No matter the weather, how dreary, sunny, rainy, smokey, he HAS to crank every window in the house open every single day. Then he goes into his bedroom with the door closed all day not 'enjoying' any of the sun, and forgets to close them so they remain open regularly until 10-11pm.

ok, done with my rant. I just had to say it somewhere, it has been festering in me for years.

Watching X-Men '97
It is pretty good for nostalgic factors. The animation is 'samey' but obviously better that its predecessor via the lens of modern techniques and a bigger budget. They really leave in all the boring bits though. Where as the kids show would cut out a character waxing narrative for literally 12 mins straight, '97 says **** it, leave it all in!
I do really like how it picks up RIGHT where the show left off with what I consider a big shift in narrative design for many Marvel series right around the early '90s where stories started to involve different timelines and such.
