RE: IFC Championship Round - Results.

in #contest6 years ago

That was pretty much my reaction when I saw the last votes come in! I laughed and was like.. Are you serious? Really? Hahaha. And yeah.. The entries were all pretty top notch! One of them even got a curie. I think that's like curie number 4 or 5 that our competitors have got during the first season.

Oh! And by the way, I'm having a lot of trouble keeping up with my messages but I saw at least part of one of yours from earlier asking about when the next season starts, so if I don't manage to get back and respond to that message the answer is.. I plan on taking around a month break to rest. But I wanna get back at it soon cause I think it's important to do so! So... Probably sometime in the early to mid of October.

Sort:  

Cool, you need a bit of a well needed rest time! When the new season starts up, there seems to be a decent number of new apps that are going to help with keeping up with the judging and competing! I'm toying around with Steempeak at the moment, and it is pretty awesome!

Indeed. For a while there it was just too much. And I still can't keep up with all the messages. But.. I am learning how to manage and handle it better and found some apps for my monitor and phone that are suppose to reduce eye strain by changing the colors at different times.. And.. I sorta feel like it's been helping! :)

And oh? Cool! I actually have been meaning to try Steempeak, and now that you speak highly of it.. Perhaps I should check it out sooner!

I have a feeling the next season will be really interesting just like this one was, and with new upcoming apps like you mentioned and tech, who knows what will happen!
I've been toying with the idea of trying to get the players to somehow incorporate video games or some kind of 3D simulated virtual world into it.

One of the shops in our marketplace has a RPG maker game, that's a start.. Players could make a little RPG game/quest for people... Or something like that.. But yeah! I think there's going to be some really interesting developments! This season we had our own song and so many other things, maybe next season we'll have our own little video games and such? Who knows! :D I'm optimistic and should be neat to see. ._.

Give it a shot... the biggest thing is that it queues up replies (like Fast-reply does) and bookmarking! I'm not sure, maybe it is on their roadmap, but I don't yet see an option to find unreplied comments. That would be useful, rather than trying to remember where they are (although, I guess the bookmark might work for that!). Anyway, I'm still exploring it a bit (there are also multiple account settings), so there may be many other goodies that I haven't yet discovered!

As for eyes, I always use the dark theme (this is something that Steempeak could improve on... it isn't really dark enough, I want jet black!). I have this option on everything that I can (not just Steem), and I find the inverted colours is just perfect for me. No white expanse of glare!

I'm loving it so far!! This makes things feel soooo much smoother. I haven't noticed the chop I noticed earlier when making my first post. Do you know if it notifies you when you get mentioned? Or is there an option for mentions? Also really liking the portfolio mode for my photography and other peoples. That's cool!

Oh also the stuff I was talking about in regards to easing eye strain are.. "Twilight" for my phone and "f.lux" for the computer. I haven't seen the science behind it so I don't totally know how it works of it it works, but it feels like it has helped! It basically reverses the blue light and does red light instead during the darker hours.. I need to look into the science a lil bit more and make a post on it before too long, cause I feel like it has helped. And I bet it might help others as well! :)

Ha ha... Looks like the choppiness has passed on to my phone! On my laptop and desktop, it was flying... Mobile version is pretty clunky ui wise!

I used Twilight on my phone for a while, but now my version of Android has it baked in. I never bothered with the computers though! I think the blue light component of the white light has a energising effect on us... But I seem to remember read somewhere that it wasn't definitely proven yet? I have to check again...
