I swear, they like to live in a news studio-level brightness. Its all overhead lighting and bright, cool light at night

Absolute sensory hell for me.

Straw poll: which looks better?

Theyre both too brightly lit imo but the warm is definitey nicer. I want to escape any room place lit like the right

Tap for spoiler

Now, imagine its like the cool white, but its even brighter and o'erhead💀

Skeleton's be cool white...
