I hate the "RGB Circus". When I had my current pc built my main spec was to "Not look like a fuckin xmas tree" lol, she laughed. Only lights from my pc is the cpu heat sync, and the network activity, there is "stuff" blocking the light from leaving the corner it is in as I sleep in the room.
Yeah, I do seem to be in the minority here on this. I wonder if this could be just an NT trait of mine, or maybe I'm AuDHD? I seem to have some similarities there but I'm still not sure. Or just a different autistic trait? I know that I like lots of stimulation. Not like chaotic and unexpected stuff, which seems autistic, but like I said, lots of decorations, trippy screensavers, I'm always touching fabrics, that kind of thing. 🤔
