Omega-TI Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 Static pictures can be worth 1000 words, but they can also be dull and uninteresting sometimes as well. How about we start a nice "Library Collection" of Animated .GIF images with a TI-99/4A theme? I'll start it off... 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Lee Stewart Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 I find animated GIFs pretty irritating, especially when they cycle continuously and cannot be stopped with a click of the mouse. They are often quite clever when first viewed, but quickly become tiresome and distracting. ...lee 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess that means when you get tired of watching you look away or go somewhere else, the same as with anything. In this case they are in a dedicated thread that you can avoid at any time.

In this case they are in a dedicated thread that you can avoid at any time. Actually, your guess missed my meaning. The principal reason such GIFs are annoying is that they are often used to attract the reader to related text, which then becomes difficult to read with that irritating, unstoppable motion constantly in the field of view. ...lee 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iliketurtles Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 I saw it too. If they do a part 2, they should do it with a TI-99/4A. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm so used to advertising everywhere, scrolling text on the bottom of screens and stuff like that. I automatically tune out everything I'm not focused on. So I never though of it like that.

Omega-TI Posted January 3, 2019 Author Share Posted January 3, 2019 You must know; Zero Zap is really a COOL! Game... Okay, I'll admit it, I really don't have anything against ZeroZap, but over the years it's kinda worked into a running joke, like the TI joysticks.
