  • Not enough research to support this claim.

    Studies seem to show that onlookers see a reflection of everyone and everything BUT the vampire without any vampire-shaped losses of light showing up on the objects behind the vampire; as evidenced in Brooks’s 1995 documentary. Also important to note is that the vampire’s shadow is also missing from the mirror’s reflection, but it’s visible when viewing the vampire directly.

    From the same documentary, we learn that vampires do have shadows, but it raises doubts as to if the vampire casts a shadow of their own; this could instead be evidence that a vampire’s shadow is an entirely sentient entity somehow tied to the vampire’s corporeal form.

    Based on this, I believe that we’d need more research into the existence and form of a vampire’s shadow and the possibility that the silver of a mirror wholly negates or even rejects unholy light. Before making such baseless and reckless claims, you consider how your own xenophobic and, frankly, teraphobic or demonophobic biases are likely hurting members of the inmortua community.












  • My friend gave me his old 6800, so I sunk the money for a TH3 P4G3 (I don’t know why the model name says “the page,” but it’s really easy to remember!)

    I chose the LeGo specifically for the FPS mouse because my primary intended use for the LeGo was photo editing and graphic design. When copilot showed up on my LeGo one day, I decided I’d rather own a brick than that completely ruined operating system, so I wiped everything and went for Linux. I still haven’t acclimated to photo editing on Linux, but holy shit, inkscape is fucking amazing.

    On Windows, using the eGPU was a whole song and dance involving lots of incantations and magic. On Bazzite, it’s plug and go. It’s stunning being able to play Diablo 4 on ultra settings at 1200 resolution and 60-90 fps, should I want to, or on medium settings if I just want to chill and fuck around on an 8-inch screen.

    The LeGo is the first piece of technology that I pre-ordered on the day sales started, and it’s the first computer that I’m considering replacing with its upgrade so soon. Depending on reviews, I might try to sell this one and upgrade to the 2 if I can actually take advantage of the extra RAM and upgraded FPS mouse. A current project I’m working on is remapping the buttons on the mouse and controller as input for plover, so that I can type and navigate in a totally comfortable, ergonomic position and potentially speed up my design/dev work.

    I know that last paragraph had nothing to do with our previous exchange, but there ya have it. Nice to chat with someone who understands the joys of owning a Go.
