No, it's the Milky Way, a tilt-shift photo I took the last time I ventured outside the galaxy. Joking. I think it is Andromeda, and I have no idea how they got the tilt-shift effect.

It's beginning to look a bit like Halloween.

Fabric stores, and by extension craft stores, get a pass because people need to buy the raw materials early enough to have the finished product ready in time. And no honestly I don't care when people and stores do the holiday stuff early (I love going to the hallmark gold crown ornament release party every July) I was just like damn is it pumpkin spice season already? Then I looked at the date and I was like no, it is not. That's all.

I traded in my two 24" monitors for one 30" monitor at work today. I was worried I might regret the loss of total real estate.

Do not regret. :nope:

I got Mass Effect 1-3 for a few dollars, but found out it's too much of a first person shooter for my tastes. But very nice graphics!

I just took a screenshot of a stupid desktop glitch, so I think this thread getting bumped means you guys have to look at it.

Agreed. The only thing that kept me playing were the character interactions. I love the way Bioware does that. Dragon Age is the same way. A bit cheesy at times but it makes the story much more immersive.

Also-lisa, I LOOKED.

Oh, cool. I found title cards from The Forbidden Room. If you choose view full size at the bottom, they're just right for wallpaper. They have other movies, too.

I'm going to have this one* until after Halloween, at which point, I'll probably switch to either Never mind. or Non!

Screenshot from 2015-10-23 19:53:24.png

I am still messing around to try to get my desktop to not be as stupid, but I am making progress.

* Women skeletons was too busy for me to be able to tolerate, like, emotionally, but it'd be a good choice too.
