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.

I’ve enjoyed my wee break from regular writing since VSO stopped doing poker. I still have my monthly LUSPS column but open to offers from any outlet who still hires human writers. ✍️ 4-5 SEO unfriendly bangers per month 🚨 Uncensored within reason 🐥 Will do my own promotion
