Yeah, I think diffused 3500k is what I have for painting minis. Also for behind the camera on video calls. Generally an unpleasant vibe, but useful

Took me so long to get around to properly exploring them, which was a huge mistake.

Finally for reference

2700k is roughly the warmth of a standard incandescent. Lower is warmer/softer, good for low level cosy lamps. Higher is cooler /harsher, good for work areas

800 lumens is roughly a 60W incandescent light bulb, but an LED build will consume much less power

Finally work lights, at 3000k+ (cool white) for under the kitchen cabinets and at my desk for painting miniatures. Very bright and somewhat harsh but also diffused and don't cast shadows so great for working with my aging eyes

That's for ceiling lights. All very high lumen (1000ish) because dimmable

Big caveat is you need LED dimmers and those will require you to run the earth wire down to the wall switch

Then i have a shit load of lamps at 2200k (very warm), between 80-150 lumens, that are what I use in the evenings

Noooop. She's chilled out a bit today, but still not happy

If you've been tagging all your reference posts, then it should be possible to set up a custom feed that is "posts by me, tagged #reference", that you can pin to your profile and people can follow

I've not used it, but a service like blueskyfeedcreator.com should make that pretty easy to set up

Ok, so jokes aside, this is a great adaption of the story and also manages to land with such a sense of beauty and emotional payoff that GDT excels at

Might not push out Sinners for my favourite of this year, but it's very close

1930 on that graph like "nothing to see here!"

I very rarely acknowledge that part of my life, and it's been decades since I've had those impulses, I'm ok

But reading this terrifies me for vulnerable youth and it is sickening that we're being constantly pushed a technology who's purpose is "harm at scale" as the future of everything

Are you just passing the controller around when characters change? That's what we did when we played it, each new pov character got assigned to one of us, and we role played their character choices
