I usually play for hours as night, usually in dim lighting. I have two screens, but the second stays pretty much limp when PE is active. When I die or TP somewhere, my whole (tiny) room and face all light up as the screen goes totally white and then back in. I’ve grown to close my eyes during these moments. But hey, MA, why don’t you chance the screen color? Assuming the white is an 8 bit image, why don’t you make it 50 shades darker? The possibilities are endless, but please, no white and no tie-die!
Mind you my screen is a 19", and others undoubtedly have bigger boxes. And no, turning down the brightness from my normal settings is not an option for me. Hunting down tanned argos in the shady mountains above Twin Peaks is hard enough as it is.
