Good lord this Cranioscopicallity is spreading like a virus.
Do I sense some internal resistance?

That was a circuitous path to that current pun.

Circuitous? More like a straight conduit to the pun...

Just DODdering along, more like...

This thread keeps soldering on....

we're determined to wiring as much out of it as possible

no doubt at some point we'll loop back to the beginning again

But only if we switch to a closed-circuit design.

At some point it would be more fun to see photos of other people's DIY home improvements..

I thought the answer to that would be obvious by now? None of us are as gifted as you!

Small update, I tiled the backsplash behind my sink with photo tiles that my father took of the old neighborhood in new york city where I grew up:

I used that, and finished everything as if it were going to be seen.

Early test screenshot from a lighting test video, still some tweaking to do..

Very nice! I like the fact that you can have games facing outward.

mouser · « **Reply #364 on:** September 29, 2020, 01:49 AM »

Yeah I had to lose about 100 books into recycling to make room for that

Personally I don't like the way the blue light reflects off the games and shines into the camera. Makes me feel like I'm watching a Michael Bay film.

mouser · « **Reply #366 on:** September 29, 2020, 02:33 AM »

I can dim the led strip lights and change their color.. maybe we can find a better setting. I can definitely see those lights being one of those things that some people like and some don't..

Deozaan · « **Reply #367 on:** September 29, 2020, 09:44 AM »

I don't mind the way they illuminate the shelf and the things on it. In fact I do like it. But the shiny game cases reflecting the light directly into the camera makes me feel like the light is shining right in my eyes. Some games are worse than others. All the Pandemic games do it. The Cthulhu and Fall of Rome games do it. Flash Point looks fine. The three on the farthest left look fine. The one farthest right looks fine.

Maybe if you could cover/wrap the LEDs with some thin fabric or something to diffuse the light so they just cast a soft color like the way it appears on the three games on the left. Then again, that might be a fire hazard if it causes the LEDs to get too warm. I dunno.

Don't worry too much about it. Most people probably won't mind it.

^ I don't necessarily dislike it but definitely takes over -- it's the strongest part of your screenshot (and leads the eye away from the board).
Possibly warming the tone of the light and changing the angle of the games so they don't reflect so much? Maybe subduing/dimming the light a bit if possible.

I completely agree that the games have become the focal point of that image - dimming the lights may be the way to go or finding some way to make it less "look at me"

wraith808 · « **Reply #370 on:** September 29, 2020, 02:31 PM »

I was thinking of it as highlighting the games that the current cast is about- or that you wanted to highlight. It's good for that, I think, if the games that are there are intentionally placed.

Exactly.. it will be for highlighting recent or upcoming games for review.

Good idea, might be worth a try.
