I use it and definitely recommend it. Though if you are playing a computer game or something during the "switch" it will lag you out for a couple of seconds.

I thought you were trying to get us to play Fluxx...

I enjoyed Fluxx in high school, but I tried it again recently and it just didn't have any appeal. The board game looks a bit more interesting, rather than being just a glob of random chaos.

When I introduce a new player to Settlers of Catan I like to hand them the blank water tiles or one of the resource stacks and ask them to shuffle it, just to see if they ever catch on.

It's been revealed that Fennekin can use a move called "Glow Punch".  GameFreak be trolling.

I like it.

Speaking of Flux(x): That game sounded a lot better than it actually is.

Eh, it's the one game I can get my non-gaming friends to play, so I have a soft spot for it.

I just decided to make a program that computes Graham's number.  I wonder why it hasn't crashed yet...

EDIT: Then again, when testing the function for ↑, it said 3↑↑4 was Infinity...  It might just be calculating 3↑InfinityInfinity by now...

EDIT 2: And I just accidentally turned off my computer.  Oh well.

Anyone else try this?  It seems neato, but I'm always inherently skeptical of things.

Installed it yesterday. Already highly recommend it.

Wait someone want to explain what this does? I am infront of a computer for 8 hours a day at work and then I go home and (would like to) game heavily. I have looked into buying Gunnar's which are a highly sponsored brand in the league of legends community but I don't know the legitimacy of them nor do I trust young pro gamers to have any say in who they are sponsored by. So anything that helps reduce eye strain from a computer would be great.

And those inconsistencies don't mean much nowadays.

I realized that I have five powerful computers in my household. I have a desktop, a laptop, a tablet, my phone, and my wife's phone.

And if I sat down to figure it out, I could probably post from my PS3 or my Wii. Hell, I wouldn't be surprised if I could surf the web on my microwave.

Hm.  Ignoring machines that are old and unused, we have a total of seven devices that could be used to post to the web (two desktops, two laptops, tablet, two phones) and one other touch-screen device that isn't web-connected (it belongs to the four-year-old; yes, they make mini-tablets for preschoolers).

Yeah, I'm a bit concerned about it fiddling with my screen when I'm gaming and such; I really only want it to change if I'm just messing around on the internet, and let my game settings continue as I prefer.  Does it have this option?

Yes, let's get all kitchen appliances to be web-connected.  Toasters, blenders, can openers...this is brilliant!

In more detail, what f.lux does is allow you to set a daytime and nighttime color warmth (which affects the amount of red and blue light for your display).
At sunrise and sunset, it will switch between them.
At the default, it will switch the color temperature over a period of twenty seconds, but you can change that to an hour so it is less sudden.
Even at the lowest color temperature, everything looks pretty normal after ~30 seconds. Eventually you notice some weird things (some blues turn purple, some browns turn grey), but honestly the screen just looks less bright.
There is also an option to disable f.lux for an hour; I guess if you were doing color sensitive work you would want that.

I tried it out, wasn't a huge fan. The color warmth changes made everything look weird.

Oh, I guess I could have done that thing called reading.

Theory, you say you've used it, how does it work with league? I don't mind lag during the switch, but does it still look nice and does it actually reduce eye strain?

I turn the brightness up/down on my laptop depending on the light levels of the environment I'm using it in at different times during the day. Does this do anything different that I need in my life?

It works perfectly fine for me.  You get used to it amazingly quickly, and then turning it off feels very harsh and glaring.
