Taking a break from complaining about WSOP reg fees to complain about the choice of red as a dominant background colour in the rotation of graphics for the stream. It’s a very odd decision. All production designers will know that red has the longest wavelength of any colour in the spectrum and that causes a weird focal tug of war for the viewer, forcing their eyes muscles into a constant state of flex and adjustment. There’s also a shifting depth perception which creates a dizzying, straining effect. I really enjoyed Ali and Nick on the heads-up broadcast last night but these streams are starting to give me visual fatigue and I’d bet I’m not the only one.

This made me so emotional. What an incredible mission driven by so much love... Please support @ScienceNelson's son's incredible goal if you can. Donation link here: justgiving.com/page/lovisain…

I wrote my 309th and last article for VSO News last month and I just wanted to say a huge thank you to Dan Katz, Owain Flanders and especially Tony Baitson for always allowing me to write what I wanted. That’s a freedom I never took for granted. 🔗 vegasslotsonline.com/news/au…
